You know transitioning is hard and it can be lonely and it can suck sometimes and the fucking transphobes do their best to ruin everything and it hurts, it sometimes really fucking hurts and the only thing I would change about it is I wish I’d done it sooner

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

My kid and trans people across America are about to see $100 million worth of ads in the next two months about how they are what’s wrong with everything. Would it fucking kill a politician who’s supposed to be on their side to just be on their fucking side?

-stop assigning moral value to food as it relates to health or your food choices. you aren't "being good" or "being bad" in selecting a food choice. -stop assigning moral values to bodies. don't think it becomes ok to do just because the bodies belong to bad people.

Everywhere he went, Ed Markey's biggest applause line was about protecting trans people. The Massholes yearn for trans liberation.

I think it's worth emphasizing that Markey's "big ideas" involved loudly and repeatedly standing up for trans folks while making protecting them a central part of his campaign

Giving kids books was such a revolutionary idea because it was the same principle as "bread and roses," it's not enough to just make sure kids aren't starving or homeless, we have to make sure they aren't miserable either.

I like this notetaking example. it is a good case of how gender works. Notetaking has never been about producing a transcript. It is a bureaucratic skill in the 20th c. organixarion because it is SENSEMAKING. Those women socialized to take notes? They have been doing men’s metacognition for them

The moon is cheese, and was invented in the 1650’s as part of an advertising campaign by the Swiss monarchy. Prior depictions of the “moon” were just bright stars that inspired the Swiss to create the “moon” legend, and then eventually to use a large trebuchet to launch a cheese ball into orbit.

MATTIE: –OK. I'M REALLY SORRY.

PANEL 2: MATTIE rubs her eyes.
MATTIE: OUTSIDE OF YOU REFERENCING A BOOK FOR CHILDREN IN EVERYDAY ADULT LIFE, YOU HAVE TO KNOW AT THIS POINT THAT THE AUTHOR OF THE "SPOT VOYAGER: DOG ASTRONAUT" SERIES HAS BEEN USING HER WEALTH TO DESTROY LIVES. MINE, SPECIFICALLY.

PANEL 3: Over the shoulder shot of MATTIE, who stares at the FRIEND, arms outstretched. From behind Mattie, two GOONS approach, wearing space helmets and big dog paws.
FRIEND: YEAH, THAT'S WHY I DON'T BUY ANY OF HER STUFF. BUT WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, NOT BRING IT UP? THE SERIES IS BELOVED!

PANEL: Same shot, MATTIE is being dragged off. The FRIEND puts a finger on his chin.
FRIEND: WOW… THIS IS JUST LIKE THAT ONE PART IN THE FIFTH BOOK.

it's not an own to point out that all these fucking guys trying to deny trans people their hormones are so into HGH and whatnot. they don't care either way about 'gender affirming care.' they want to be he-men and they want trans people to die. to them the two projects are perfectly coherent

Believe Women is an epistemological stance. It doesn't mean you assume that every single woman is telling the truth and women never lie. It means you understand that in the system that we exist in, there's much more risk and pain for women coming forward about abuse than there is anything to gain.

The idea that trans or nonbinary or third gender or queer people are somehow "hijacking" the "gay and lesbian movement" is shockingly ahistorical. The idea that sexual desire, gender, sex, the body, and identity are completely disconnected is a much more divisive and recent idea

MA has some of the most segregated public schools in the US and I'm often asked "well isn't that because of where people live?" As though that's not also shaped by power and policy. Grateful that David Modica is bringing attention to a law that could reshape our schools and communities, if we try.

Community matters, even in "red" South Mississippi. This is why we don't write off any part of the country, or define whole swaths of the country with "red" and "blue" labels. People are people, everywhere. And people like this, being in community with one another, is how we defeat fascism.
