the current US government: we are going to eliminate transgenderism. if we stay in power, it will be over. we are pulling every possible lever to destroy and erase it some of you: if I take down that highbie who I find personally annoying, I can be queen of shit mountain

Had one of my photos accepted by a small local gallery (Black Box) for Exhibition. (I don't particularly like how pursuing these things has dredged up a lot of old insecurity that has me wanting to sandbag or discredit this and other recent mild successes) blackboxgallery.com/Black%20and%...

🚨🚨 New Project Alert! Don't let the glossy photos or full size fool you, Girl Singer is still a zine. Issue One has five interviews with women from Portland's queer & trans music scene. I'll be seeding it a couple of place around town and have copies for sale at @pdxzines.bsky.social on 10/18 🚨🚨

Image of a woman's hand holding a magazine entitle Girl Singer: Portland, OR; Volume. The cover features a full bleed photo of a microphone waiting for a sing to approach, with a mustached performer in the blurry background.

Image of a copy of Girl Singer open to a page with a full size photo of a woman singing into a microphone in front of her music rig.

I just don't think most cis people, or even trans people for that matter, understand what it is like to be raising a trans femme kid aging in to sport interest, seeing all the usual potentials, and having to be like 'ok, how do we modulate this safely, how do I guide you through this'

One of the reasons trans people get so aggro about sports is that theres a major demonstrated track record of squishes there quickly and seamlessly moving to general bathroom bans & catagorical denial of transness as cognizable in any way that matters, and that’s Kaptur and Peltola right now

I've been doing trans rights related work for a decade and I don't think I've ever had so many friends in community in crisis. People are cracking under the weight of the despair of the current moment. I don't know what to do at this point. It's all so incredibly heavy.

I don't know why it's so hard for people to understand that trans people simply won't vote in that situation. We're not going to vote against our interests so cis people won't be inconvenienced.

The pdx city council spending charts have such a fun millennial bent re: who does / does not feel entitled to spend freely. Like I only just got my first company card of any kind and what do you mean I don’t have to pay out of pocket and maybe ask to get paid back later (if its not too much trouble)

One of the awful dynamics of the now-time is that you’ll see lots trans women doing all kinds of amazing stuff, much of it the kinds of hearts and minds / look we belong stuff that non-trans people say we should focus on, and it’s just not safe to highlight them at all

this is deservedly one of the highlight episodes that sells the series, in part because it's one of the few Trek alt histories that manages to kind of take itself seriously and hits so true, but an extra dark layer is that if u think about it for more than 5 minutes it's still way too optimistic

I wanna say something more eloquent but honestly transphobes are just losers. The government is poisoning our water and our rights are being taken away and you're stressing about someone else's genitals? Please get a life. Go on a date. Have some chocolate. Feel the rain on your skin. Touch grass.
