The number one piece of advice I wish someone had given me when I came out as trans: pick a name that was popular in your birth year and NOT in your coming out year.

My bestie @vicatto.bsky.social brought this vegan cheese whiz over and I think the fact that it’s not called “whizn’t” is a big miss.
Credo brand oat milk cheeze, cheddar style, which is vegan and gluten free.

Transgender visibility is not a positive without strong civil rights. I’d much rather be invisible in this climate, please and thank you.

Y’all, if you have ADHD and you struggle with perpetual fear your friends are all going to abandon you, with attachment anxiety, and with self-critique, consider asking your doctor about alpha-2 adrenergic agonists.

I know some people who spend all their money on cosmetic surgery chasing an unobtainable ideal. I also know some people who’ve spent every penny and then some becoming who they’ve always wanted to be. 1/2

You push the request stop button on the airport bus just before the airport stop on the off chance that the bus won’t actually stop at the airport because no one pushed the button

Last week I learned that the magic phrase in a political campaign which serves to create a contrast between a candidate and her opponent is, “I am the only candidate in this race who…” and since then I’ve been seeing it *everywhere*.

Today, the Supreme Court voted 6–3 that Christian nationalist ideology trumps the rights of trans people to receive medically necessary care. The ruling applies to children, but it’s a blueprint for expanding such bans to adults.

Highly recommend this interview with @chenoweth.bsky.social. “There’s no…magic number. But there is a theory of change, which is the main function of civil resistance movements is to mobilize with sufficient mass, with sufficient momentum to effectively begin to disrupt the opponent's coalition.”

Y’all, I’ve been trying to attend my local (Alameda County, CA) Democratic Party meetings for months now. Today I showed up in person and it’s behind a locked gate at the local Teamsters. In the Zoom, they won’t admit you unless you’re a member. How does someone actually join this organization?

Talking about economic issues does not have to come at our expense. You don’t have to step on us to fix the Democratic Party; you just need to actually address the economic insecurity people have been feeling while oligarchs took over our country (not a new thing, started three decades ago).

Hot take: the jet isn’t news, isn’t truly a bribe. It won’t be ready in time to be used as AF1. Trump won’t keep; it’ll go to the Trump Presidential Library. Honestly, it seems more like a trade deal, given Qatar’s purchase of 200 jets. They mean to distract you from budget reconciliation.
