would you recommend the new doc? i’m still on the fence if i want to watch!

I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages

even tho i veered away from the Catholic Church, i always admired Pope Francis for his courageous work. he shifted the culture in ways we may never know - and i hope the next one will continue his work.

the more stress I feel about everything happening with trans in the political climate, the more I feel drawn to being around other trans folks.

access isn't easy as a deaf person. i deeply cherish my deaf trans community, but I also want to connect with more trans people. access remains a barrier.

Since January 21, I’ve noticed my ability to do extra things outside of home and work responsibilities has declined drastically.

A fan of @jenpsaki.bsky.social (Jen Psaki)- I picked up her book, SAY MORE. It was incredibly engaging, well-written, and funny. Felt like she was mentoring me, the reader, on how to be a better communicator with real-life examples. Psaki is def someone I’d love to have dinner with!

just finished Paola Ramos’ “FINDING LATINX: In Search of the Voices Redefining Latino Identity.”

Will Democrats Let the GOP Gut Trans Health Care? Donald Trump and Republicans may try to ban funding to companies that perform trans health care. Some fear Democrats won't stop them.

Author: ADAM HOCHSCHILD Title: KING LEOPOLD'S GHOST : A STORY OF GREED TERROR AND HEROISM IN COLONIAL AFRICA

saw a thread floating on #BookSky about books that were life changing or stayed with you for life. wanted to share one of mine.

I read this book in high school and I still think about it often. Probably my first exposure to African colonialism. This book is seriously underrated.
