This is the inevitable endgame of capitalism and is why it’s fundamentally opposed to human life and human flourishing, let alone to the rest of nature that we depend on.

I miss Asheville...

It's been nearly five hours since the president of the United States posted a graphic snuff video of a man beating a woman to death with a hammer and there's no mention of it on the New York Times, Washington Post or CNN websites.

Happy Sapphic Visibility Day to everyone in the sapphic community!

Personally, I love the term "sapphic."

To me, it doesn't replace other terms and identities such as "lesbian"; it's an umbrella term that includes lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, queer...

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Israel bombed it on Passover.

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

God help us.

I feel like I’m finally making progress with eyeliner, which has been a huge challenge for me for a while.

Stunned by all the “ICE isn’t gonna do anything more than what TSA already does” rhetoric.

Untrained white supremacists who’ve been told by bosses they’re not subject to laws will have POC and women lined up in front of them to grope and abuse and they don’t even have to chase them.

Anti-trans hate groups petitioning FDA for registry of trans women, crackdown on transition, newly revealed document shows In the short term, this is not as dangerous as an outright ban on estrogen. If implemented and then combined with other methods of suppressing trans people, it might be far more destructive in the lon...

Here’s an article explaining exactly why this is so dangerous. theneedlenews.com/anti-trans-h...

Temporarily breaking my social media hiatus in order to post this. PLEASE post a comment on this site opposing this petition by anti-trans hate groups, which urges the FDA to create a database of trans women that can be used to track and oppress us. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

For my own mental health, I'm taking a social media break. I can't keep subjecting myself to the agonizing anxiety caused by seeing anti-trans news stories every single fucking day. Don't know when I'll be back, but hopefully it'll be a while.

cis friends i want you to really understand this horror

imagine if in half of US states if you were in an accident/got sick and had to go to the hospital

the medical professionals there would FORCE THE WRONG HORMONE INTO YOUR BODY, making it change in ways antithetical to who you are

IMAGINE IT

8. The ruling comes as Heritage openly pushes adult care bans. After Kevin Roberts said the goal was to “outlaw it” through “radical incrementalism,” this decision appears to hand that movement a ready-made legal framework for dismantling trans adult care step by step.

7. Worse, this precedent reaches far beyond Medicaid. If states may constitutionally “encourage citizens to appreciate their sex,” what stops ID marker bans, drag bans, clothing bans or even forced conversion therapy to "appreciate their sex?" The opinion offers no limiting principle.

6. The court’s logic is hypocritical: it says the ban applies equally to everyone, even though only trans people seek this care for gender dysphoria. As Sotomayor noted in Skrmetti, that is like banning interracial marriage for everyone and calling it equal treatment.

In Skrmetti, the Supreme Court found that the Tennessee legislature did not have to take any third party-on either side of the debate at its word to find a good reason to ban certain procedures. The legislature could look at the evidence and decide for itself which plan would best promote the flourishing of Tennesseans. If the Tennessee legislature can legitimately prohibit these treatments, then the West Virginia legislature may legitimately determine that providing Medicaid coverage for these procedures is not worth the cost to its taxpayers. Simply put, if a State can reasonably ban it, of course a State can reasonably refuse to pay for it.

5. The opinion outright says that states can legally ban transgender adult care after applying Skrmetti to adults.

2. In doing so, the panel extended the Supreme Court's decision in Skrmetti—which held that transgender youth care bans were constitutional—to transgender adults, the first federal appeals court in the country to do so.

The ruling pdf is directly in my story.

This is what I've been afraid of. Wouldn't be surprised if an all trans healthcare ban was next, including hormones for adults. This is absolutely horrifying.

On the positive side of things, I’m finally starting to get good at eyeshadow. Doing it every day, even doing it badly for a while, definitely helped a lot!

I'm reaching the level of being fully out in my life where every time I log in at work and still see my legal name on Outlook and Teams and everything, it's a bit of a surprise. (Cannot wait to get that legally changed...)

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

A piece I redid for International Women’s Day this year

This piece was about hopefully finding a day in the future where all women can live without fear of harm or discrimination with a emphasis on ALL women. We can't just support cis women and watch as trans women are harmed over and over

have you heard about women

highly encourage everyone to be critical of liberal feminism and the idea of identity solidarity over class solidarity! a female landlord is still a landlord, a gay ceo is still a ceo

i want to live in a small country unburdened by destiny

The problem and blame doesn't just fall on Trump. But the US senators who confirmed this cabinet -- especially Pete Hegseth -- should never escape blame for the moral failure they have inflicted on the world.

Trump's goal really does seem to be traumatizing the entire world.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T
