Trans people have existed since before the West was even a concept like there’s simply no way to pretend that we do not exist or that we are not valid. Indigenous cultures around the globe had multiple genders. That white majoritarians don’t like those facts don’t make it untrue.
You are allowed to feel joy.
Yes, even now.
Joy is resistance.
Art by @dreiidrie.bsky.social. Black and white sketch of OP's OC Aoi in Davrin (Dragon Age: The Veilguard)'s lap. Both are in their underwear in front of the tree in Davrin's room and are smiling at each other. Aoi is wearing his hair up in a bun and has an eyebrow piercing, a mole on his cheek, and another mole on his neck. Davrin has scars on his chest and on his eyebrow.

many thanks to @/dreiidrie.bsky.social for the lovely sketch, i love these two so muuuuch i SOB 😭
Academic Skyers: I am compiling a list of policies and statements from various universities about how they are handling the "pause" in terms of stopping expenditures (or not).
Please respond to this post with your institution and materials.
THANK YOU!
It never was about those things, but it has never been this blatant.
I tend to stay even-keeled about this stuff. I am not alarmist, I report the news as accurately as possible.
But the language is scary. It is precisely the dehumanizing language used to justify atrocity.
Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO.
No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids."
Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false."
It's a big step towards very bad things.
CA, CO, CT, DC, HI, IL, MA, MD, NJ, NM, NY, OR, VT, and WA also offer refugee protections for trans people, though MN is by far the best rn.
Maybe you're thinking - ugh, how can you be posting about Indigenous Futurisms right now when the world is ending?
Indigenous Peoples are post-apocalyptic Peoples! We've experienced multiple world endings. We survive not by becoming violent and insular and fearful. We expand our kinscapes.

After getting a sanity check, I am fully going to die on this hill. If they won’t hold the line for some stupid fucking words they won’t hold the line for me, either.
me, joining bsky: this will be my cute fun place where I dragon age
me in reality: wow the bad stuff bleeds into every crack of my life 🎉
Cis people starting every meeting with "I want to acknowledge that this is a difficult time for a lot of you" with no further actions or accomodations are the real allies. 🥰🤗♥️
Federal agencies are issuing directives to scrub websites by 5:00pm ET today, wrt executive order: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
Targeted terms: diversity, equity, inclusion, minority-serving institution, Indigenous people, environmental justice, underrepresented groups & women-focused
where I work wants to pivot away from using DEI language and they’re asking the DEI committee to come up with alternatives. I tried bringing up the directive “do not obey in advance” and mentioned my discomfort but they’re viewing ending the use of DEI language as “adapting” and “being flexible”
From AM's post: It's a series of essays by prominent trans people. We asked each of these stars to tell us what they're fighting for, why they're determined to survive, or simply why they will not give in to self-erasement. Reading these words of defiance and wisdom and persistence keeps us going.
today I asked my dentist if they do remote appointments and I think this means the stress is slowly transforming me into my clueless thembo Rook
The Executive Order on Native Ed, which included Tribal Colleges, has been rescinded in the first sweep.
This took SO much time, energy, effort, simply to bring to fruition.
I gotta’ take a minute. 🤬

Four goldfish in a planted tank with gravel on the bottom
I love my little goldfish and have never named them.
having a puppy to hold up to the camera really does a lot of the heavy lifting for pretending not to be miserable on a work call
academia:
world: literally on fire, countless people being bombed and starved, US democracy rapidly collapsing
me: why do I feel so bad? how mysterious!
And you could have it all
