When a straight man lashes out after dating or having sex with a trans woman, he is often afraid of the implication that his sexuality is joined to hers. When a gay man anxiously keeps trans women out of his activism or social circles, he is often fearful of their common stigma as feminine. And when a non-trans feminist claims she is erased by trans women’s access to a bathroom, she is often afraid that their shared vulnerability as feminized people will be magnified intolerably by trans women’s presence. In each case, trans misogyny displays a fear of interdependence and a refusal of solidarity. It is felt as a fear of proximity. Trans femininity is too sociable, too connected to everyone—too exuberant about stigmatized femininity—and many people fear the excess of trans femininity and sexuality getting too close. But sociability can never be confined or blamed on one person in a relationship; it’s impersonal, and it sticks to everyone. The defensive fear and projection built into trans misogyny, whether genuine or performed, is an attempt to wish away what it nonetheless recognizes: that trans femininity is an integral part of the social fabric. There will be no emancipation for anyone until we embrace trans femininity’s centrality and value.

Burning Down the House - Talking Heads

My house’s out of the ordinary That’s might don’t want to hurt nobody Some things sure can sweep me off my feet Burning down the house No visible means of support and you have not seen nuthin’ yet Everything’s stuck together I don’t know what you expect starring into the TV set Fighting fire with fire

the thing about the us empire is that no matter how evil you know it to be, it is in fact even more evil than that. like the sheer amount of tragedy that has been facilitated for the purposes of maintaining this nation is genuinely unfathomable. and obviously that’s true of all empires, but since i do happen to live here, it’s an unavoidable truth i must contend with from moment to moment. and it’s sickening

Help a Black single mom keep her car

I’m an organizer with KC Tenants, Kansas City’s tenant union. One of the leaders on our Hotline team needs help by 10/19 to keep her car. If she loses her car, she won’t have a safe or affordable way to get to work, or reliable transportation for her kids.

Dani called our Hotline when she was in a homeless shelter herself, and she is deeply invested in building power with her community, having spent hundreds of hours calling other renters experiencing housing crises, connecting them with resources and inviting them into our union. She’s an incredible person and a vital member of our team.

We’re almost 25% of the way to the $2100 needed, please donate and/or share — even $5 is huge. 💛

Lack of media literacy and critical thinking is genuinely RUINING film and television. It really has hit a point where writers and directors are pandering to audiences who think films and shows can’t have any villainous characters in a storyline without the piece of media trying to “normalize problematic behavior”.

The Tyre Nichols Memorial Fund

Tyre Nichols was loved by his community and was known to be gentle, kind, and joyful. He loved skating and was originally from the Bay Area in California. He was known as someone “you know when he comes through the door he wants to give you a hug” and that “he wouldn’t hurt a fly.”

“He had never been in trouble with the law, not even a parking ticket. He was an honest man, a wonderful son, and kind to everyone. He was quirky and true to himself, and his loss will be felt nationally.”

I have absolutely no opinions on the Barbie movie but since I am already seeing discourse about it all over my dash I am begging people once again to get involved in some kind of local activism so they will stop thinking what movies you watch is a hardhitting form of praxis
