Honeslty I forget this place exists a lot. XD

Daily record headline: MSP "put secret camera in parky toilet", with photo of Labour MSP Colin Smyth

The real threat to women has always been predatory men, not trans women, such as allegedly this Labour MSP.

Colin Smyth should resign now & Labour should get their house in order & deal with predatory men in their party before it takes a headline to do something.

so who's ready to organize on behalf of the 27+ dead and counting to press charges against any individual or group who has illegally withheld, disabled, or dismantled funding of NOAA without Congressional approval or oversight? hm?

these numbers are only going to grow. we need a tribunal.

Horrendous.

Israel are committing mass genocide.
It must be stopped! 😡😭

"What truly angers me more than them, and their hoodwinking, is the weak-willed liberal politicians in the Labour Party who will quickly crumble at the first hint of pressure from right-wing forces."

MASSIVE protest marching through Manhattan right now against the ICE arrest of Mahmoud Khalil.

Endless stream of people chanting “No cops, no KKK, no fascist USA.” Easily a thousand people. Zero NYPD presence.

I am not okay

But I will continue to suffer (mostly) silently bc the world is broken & everyone has way more to deal with and fight against than me

I’m just exhausted & I have no break ever. My life is a 24hr job. There is no rest, there is no time off. & still I feel like I’m not doing enough

And remember kids, when you punch a fascist your thumb goes on the outside

3/3 - closed the fucking walk in shower door. So the downstairs shower room is FLOODED.

Oh and it looks a crime scene bc hair dye ✌️

Okbyeeeeeee

2/3- ok this is INFURIATING

“Buuuuub I need the shower screwdriver again”

At this point I’ve been in the shower for half an hour and done nothing productive.

I’m exhausted at this point an we have dinner guests tonight so like - I did a quick shower and hair wash.

Didn’t realise I hadn’t

Incase anyone was ever wondering what it was like to date me-

I took a shower this afternoon.

Following phrases were used -

“Bub I need the shower screwdriver it’s falling down again”

“Fuck I screwed it back on upside down”
-proceeded to take a shower with the unit on upside down so 1/2

Screenshot of a threads post by user Jen E Hudgens that says “My sisters rent has been paid. Thank you everyone. She will be housed at least until the end of the month. I’m beyond grateful. Y’all I love you so damned much and I hope you know what an amazing thing you’ve done. I’m crying. We made it. We made it together.” There are a bunch of red heart emojis. Below that is a screenshot of a payment portal saying outstanding $0

I try. I do. I try to do what I can as much as I can.
But I’ll never belong and I’ll never be apart of anything, so I’ll just silently repost & just talk to myself only.

I’m so close to giving up
I think people forget I’m human too.

I’m Trans, I’m Queer, I’m Disabled, Autistic, ADHD, Neurodivergent, Chronically ill & lightskin mixed race

anger at me just pushes me further away & Probably deserve it for even thinking I was allowed to take up any space to beginwith

My partner preordered this for me a while ago and it arrived and honestly I’m looking forward to reading it this week.

It’s an anthology of flash fiction, epic poetry and prose written by African Storytellers.

Can I dm you?

Oh, I just wondered if it was similar but had a different name because US/UK language differences. I was gonna say if it was the first I have tons of them as we get new ones with every inhaler script so I could have sent them to you. At no cost bc I get them free under our healthcare system.

Not sure if it’s the same thing but is it like one of these?

I believe the general internet tradition on these kinds of things is well known.

The anti-DEI tip line is a good example of how you try to implement a fascist agenda without state capacity. You rely on the enthusiastic participation of petty tyrants, backstabbers, abusers and malcontents.
