Ugh. So I hurt my back a month or so ago, & it was getting better. This evening I was down on the floor digging out a treat for the cat that had rolled underneath some furniture. When I stood up I realised that i had made a terrible mistake. I pulled a muscle, & have made things even worse than […]

I have seen this scroll by before and finally signed today. It can seem pointless to petition this bunch of CoC aholes but it would be good to get behind something to send a clear message that the anti TPB & RSB bill momentum remains all the way to election day & beyond #NZpol Can be this petition👇

Hey friends. Baxter @Baxter was recently diagnosed with a particularly nasty sort of skin cancer, & through that process has also discovered that he has T-cell lymphoma blood cancer. As you may be aware, Baxter has supported worthy causes in the past, the most recent being his scooter ride over […]

It was never not our turn.

4 frame comic. An older man says to Stephie, in a yellow shirt : yeah, it's worrying what they're doing to trans people. It's like what they were doing to gay people in the eighties. Seems like it's your turn! Stephie replies, over the following three panel: w... we have been here the whole time, Harold. Do you think that the eighties' queerphobes saw trans people and were like ''nah, these people are fine''? do you think nazis who were ordered to round up queer men saw trans women and thought ''not them, trans women are women uwu''? people only think that transphobia is a new thing because it was so prevalent that they couldn't see our humanity. but it was never not our turn, Harold.

I still think about the first time I chatted with the receptionist at our new GP & she casually mentioned that my pm.me email addy probably wouldn’t work with their system, bc “3rd party email providers usually don’t”.

The supermarket delivery person dropped off a bag that we didn’t order & was meant for someone else. I really hope the delivery person picks it up & takes it to them, bc it’s full of yummy stuff they might have ordered to celebrate their Matariki 🤞

This morning Miss jumped on the toilet lid, as always, to worry the (non toxic) plant on the window sill above. Except for this one time, someone hadn’t closed the lid. She was not a very happy puss, when she found herself in the toilet with one very soggy leg 😂

We went for a “short” walk this morning, which took twice as long as expected as we stopped to watch the tuna swimming in the river. It was enchanting, & all less than a block from our house. And this is why, when we walk, we pick up other people’s trash. Unexpected, but motivating all the same.

Believe trans youth.

poster of the character from Assigned Male comics Stephie, with her arms crossed, who says : The longest and most extensive study on the matter (pagefoot note : the Lancet Journal of child and adolescent health, oct. 20th 2022) recently found that out of 720 trans teenagers who started hormone therapy half a decade ago, 98% were still continuing their treatment today. Desistance and detransition myths are lies designed to create a moral panic and a transphobic backlash. believe trans youth.
