I've heard it in every gas station and grocery store in my county, but didn't know the artist until now. It's everything I hate about country music (some of which I actually appreciate). All you need to know: - Sponsored by Jack Daniels - Doesn't come close to passing the Bechdel test

I hate doing the "a rollback of trans rights is the gateway for a rollback of women's rights" thing because trans rights are human rights in and of themselves, whatever the impact on cis women. But goddamn I wish more cis women had a sense of history and self preservation.

The vitriol directed at me and other members of the trans community for having the audacity to declare our votes are not to be taken for granted. By cisgender people who otherwise have called themselves allies. I wish it weren’t so utterly predictable.

What's really sad about trump lying about sending folks cash is how much just $250 could improve lives, much less 5k which could make a real impact for most people I know. Feels like almost everyone is barely managing right now 😮‍💨

Had a family member who was starting to say some maha talking points and I shared a video with scientists discussing seed oils with her. Not only did it change her perspective, she showed it to the person who told her and it changed their mind. Don't give up on deprogramming, always worth a try!

The corporation I am working for has had 3 major shootings in warehouses nation wide. 0 outside the US, of course. So we have the illusion of security to make us feel safe. Like the 18 year old security guard sleeping on my way in 😅 We live in a dystopia, might as well laugh at it.

I know that most of our digital tools are controlled by awful billionaires and it's almost impossible for us to divest ourselves of all of them. But I think that X and Substack are so horribly toxic that everyone should avoid them as much as possible.

I love that we can spend hours on trails and not see another human. It also makes me a little sad. Like, I never drive by an open McDonalds without at least one car in the drive thru but all this nature folks aren't taking advantage of. I guess we all get our therapy different ways, no judgement 🤷

If you pay attention to the news, you'll notice that a disproportionaly large number of the anti-ICE and "antifa" protesters who have been charged by the government are transgender. Talking more than 1/10 for a population that's at most 3/100.
