a poem called 'midvinterblot by carl larsson, 1915'
midvinterblot by carl larsson, 1915

In the disaster year, in the famine
foreshadow, for all the questions in
the air, only one still haunts me: Is there
Is there life out there in Oakland
There In Oakland California or still
The Bay or after the Bay or after Portland
or after the chaz after Toronto after Brooklyn
Is there life in Oakland California
Is there life after the weekend even
if it never dies, is there life in the squat
even if it never dies, is there life in the
scene even if it never dies is there
Life in the Castro or in Greenwich
Village or life in the tunnels beneath
Las Vegas where holdout soldiers
make a final stand for demon dope
Is anyone there for those gay people
on my phone are they getting enough
and can they get by, can we cut them
a break or can we know if they die
or if they live at the end of it all
when the shouting is done and the
rumors go to mill can we know if
they die or do we need to ask some
soft machine or hard-eyed actress
Is there life out there in Oakland
Still in Oakland California

i don’t know a single trans person who has a shred of faith in the Democrats at this point. Julia Serano sums up the “why” of this better than i ever could.

the way these people are obsessed with a concept of “neutral” that never existed and certainly isn’t relevant now is absolutely wild. also, this is just an incorrect statement!

an incarcerated trans woman of color was beaten to death by a man in a hawaii prison and the local media couldn’t figure out how to cover the story without aggressively misgendering her

a microcosm of everything. a mob surrounds a trans woman, accuses her of "attempting to enter a women's bathroom", beats up her and her nonbinary partner, then the state swoops in and dumps the trans woman in a men's prison illegally (a rape threat), and both are now at risk of longer jail time

1/6 This is going to be a bit of a long thread but, given that I was subpoenaed by Congress for declining an unwarranted prosecution being pushed by powerful White House Officials, it is important to explain the role elected prosecutors play in protecting democracy.

One thing I don’t think men understand is that rape and assault are so ubiquitous—and so perpetually immune from consequence or recognition—that many women learn to talk about these incidents as of they’re mere inconveniences. We are not allowed to treat them with more gravity.

there is nothing "logical" or "sex-based" about anti-trans bathroom policies. it's about stigma-contamination: *all* trans ppl are "corrupting" or "corrupted" in their eyes, so we are all banned from women's restrooms: juliaserano.medium.com/penises-priv...

if a position of authority can be misused in this way, that position of authority should not exist. It's clearly not enough to simply change who is in that position, no more than praying that the next king be better than the last.

From 2 years ago: “It is 12 hours after I emerged from my second gender-affirming surgery. Like a lot of people, my impulse to accelerate transition goals has escalated over the past year as a growing unease fills my body every day that one day, my body and the care it needs, will soon be outlawed.”

When it comes to elite tastemaking, the Atlantic and the New York Times are unparalleled. That's why it's so concerning that both outlets are committed to an anti-trans political project. New, from @billiejsweeney.bsky.social www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Please unfollow me if you are a transphobe or TERF or “just asking questions.” All human beings deserve the same rights. Nobody should be afraid they are going to get beat up or ridiculed or fired based on their gender identity. Protect the dolls today and forever. Always stand up to bullies.
