If I'm Being Completely Honest I Can't Describe In Words How Much I Don't Give A Shit Cashiers "smile

being a trans woman is fun because like 90% of your interactions with other people will be tinted by transmisogyny, but you're not allowed to acknowledge it because then you're "avoiding criticism by pretending all of it is just bigotry"

i keep meeting transfems whose personalities are like, gaping wounds. girls who've been stomped on over and over until they start thinking they're uniquely evil and they deserve it. people shouldn't be allowed to treat us like this.

*showing visible symptoms* oh my god i need help desperately

*symptoms go away for one day* what if im just faking it

It is trans day of visibilty, so please spare a thought for the trans people living in the closet. Invite the closeted trans girl you know to your t4t event. Buy her a pizza. Reach out to her and ask if she wants help with transitioning in any way. You are legally obligated to do so actually

Trump 2016 was nothing compared to what's coming and you know it.

No I don't, and you don't either.

One of the problems that I have with electoralism is that every election is the most important election of our lives. Every election is the last one to save democracy. Every election is the only way that we can protect the marginalized otherwise so you have to vote blue no matter who or you're going to be killed in the streets by the red team.

This is propaganda to get people to vote, but what it also does is reinforce the idea that the only people who can save you are the ones on the ballot.

There are people all over the world living under fascist regimes, living in war zones, living in dictatorships, who are supporting one another. There are trans communities under Modi and queers in Russia and people who provide underground reproductive healthcare in Iran and people who provide medical care to their neighbors in tents in Gaza.

What you are doing is American exceptionalism in a liberal hat. This is NOT the end of the fucking world. This is NOT the worst disaster you will ever face. This is NOT a reason to give up or to stop caring or to stop working or to lay down and die.

Is this a good thing that has happened? No. But bad things happen all the time and we keep going.

If you must wallow, then wallow, but I've got shit to do just like I did last week.

don't care + running + jumping + skipping + hopping + having fun + playing

theyre inventing the opposite of ozempic that actually makes you happy. and theyre calling it yummy foods and treats

Always wanted to make one of these

someone come clean my bong for me & then play with my hair
