iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Pretty rich for Paxton to spend years writing + defending policies meant to define trans inclusive families as "sinful" while his own family falls apart for "biblical reasons", then ask for "privacy" when he's repeatedly sought access to trans kids' medical files. Thoughts and prayers, buddy.

Read my pinned post at the top of my profile page. There's a Washington Post oped I wrote somewhere in there that explains it a little bit more.

I didn't know them and they weren't campaigning. Here's a little backstory in this Washington Post oped that I wrote a few years back (in a longer thread about how we got here if it's helpful) bsky.app/profile/mrsb...

He never said he'd protect him. We asked him to keep our son in mind when shitty legislation was discussed. He said he seemed like a good kid, and then he left. We had hoped for more. And I don't regret the dinner. We tried. We will ALWAYS try.

As for me, im thriving out of sheer fucking spite and my son is living his best life. And we're all still together... unlike the Paxtons. 💅 (Too soon?)

*He* penned an opinion accusing me of child abuse, then sat back while I fought to keep my family together. *She* repeatedly votes in favor of laws explicitly designed to harm my son. They have worked for *years* to tear my family apart. May EVERYTHING they've tried to do us return to them tenfold.

Idk wtf that means, but excuse me while i raise a glass to their embarrassment and misery. 🥂

Today, his soon-to-be ex-wife Angela – who joined us that evening and even brought a homemade dessert still warm from her oven – filed for divorce on "biblical grounds"

In 2016, Ken Paxton had the audacity to sit at my table and break bread with my family knowing full well that my son is trans, then SIX YEARS LATER wrote an opinion stating that families like mine shouldn't exist. Within days, a CPS investigator was in our home threatening to remove our children.🧵

I'm obsessed with a single i heard on @npr.org today by an artist named #EphSee called "malachi the uber driver" and I can't find it on Spotify and its driving me crazy! The song and the story behind it are stuck in my head and im kind of obsessed. Where can I download and listen? Thanks!

This deportation was planned as a political spectacle. The deportees were carefully chosen, as was the language used to describe them. Absolutely illegal! Via @timothysnyder.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

It's not hard. This is unacceptable. They won't stop at him.

This podcast episode left out facts about inclusion in sports. The truth is, young people learn many life lessons playing sports: leadership, confidence, self-respect, and the value of teamwork. No one should be denied the opportunity to play sports just because of who they are.

Maybe he should stop trying to become a dictator and instead focus on what he said he was going to do!

Now more than ever.

thanks for the boost. i ended up just making a whole entire thread this morning! i appreciate the amplification. trans kids deserve so much better!

remember this the next time a law or policy is passed that is BLATANTLY discriminatory. don't just stand idly by while the most marginalized are sacrificed, because you think "it could never happen to me" or "that would never happen here" because (GESTURES WILDLY OUT THE WINDOW) GET TO WORK.

130

instead, people have forgotten the "united" part of "united states of america" and thought that if a policy didn't affect them, they could just let it slide. "why don't you just move?" they've asked. while i've been asking for YEARS "why don't you just help?"

maybe if the rest of the country would have spent a little more time fighting for trans kids in texas, none of us would be here. maybe if more people stood up and said NO, this line would not have been crossed.

i've been navigating this bullshit here in texas for YEARS and WARNING folks that they were next if they didn't wake the fuck up and do something. and here we are.

ALLLL this shit people are seeing NOW in their communities? welcome to the shit show, friends. none of this is new. trump didn't invent this. he copied it from the red states you wrote off. it's just new to YOU because not enough of y'all have been paying attention.

i've been warning y'all for YEARS that these attacks don't end with trans kids and that red states aren't the *only* places that could be affected. "show me on a map where it's SAFE" i'd ask. "you're just one election away from this bullshit too" i'd say. i hate to say "i told you so," but.

while i appreciate all my blue state friends checking in on us, i'm more than a little irritated by all y'all who SWORE up and down that "it could never happen HERE" and in a very victim blame-y way asked me "why don't you just MOVE?" pffft. i'm in a MOOD, babes.
