I think I saw that Juno is the third most common name for babies born six years ago, and so people are gonna spend the next forty years either thinking I’m forty years younger than I am or that I’m probably trans.

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.

Also, gentle reminder that referring to a binary trans person as they/them is just another way of reminding that person of his or her visibility. Can you please not let me and everyone else know you’ve clocked me?

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

Fit check from Friday I forgot to post here, pretty proud of this one.

This message brought to you by me forgetting to take my clonidine the other day and suddenly remembering the terribly fragile and insecure person I used to be. PS: clonidine is not Klonipin. They are NOT the same, don’t mix them up.

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.

What can be more of a confidence boost than knowing you’d give all your early possessions to be yourself — and that you actually succeeded and are now that person? Anyway, that’s how I feel about gender affirming surgery — whether it’s for cis people or trans. 2/2

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

Sometimes when I show up early for my flight I walk in on the arrivals level and then walk right out the door again so I get the extra dopamine rush of *arriving* in a place

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*.

Our political system definitely selects for a specific category of people, which is those who think about money in a certain way.

Ahhh when did Matt Yglesias become the arbiter of abundance? Repealing parts of CEQA that led to the homelessness crisis is not the same as ignoring the climate crisis. We can work on both problems at once.

It’s also worth noting that this is NOT generally a good strategy for resistance movements: property and violent crime both tend to turn the center against resistors.

The left: I hope the rest of the world understands that many of us didn’t vote for Trump and don’t support him. Also the left: Maybe Texas should have thought twice before they voted for Trump if they didn’t want a bunch of kids to drown.

Paraphrase aloud and try to understand what they’re saying and where they’re coming from. It all starts with listening, with helping people feel heard. We have no choice any longer. Divided we fall. 4/4

On this Independence Day, reach out to those cousins you’ve been afraid to talk to because of their politics. Don’t even argue with them. Just ask them questions and listen to their answers. 3/

One thing I’m learning is that autocracy is found in the attitudes of people on both sides of the aisle — and until we can learn to embrace one another even in our disagreements, Trump will continue to exploit our divisions to prop up his corrupt, incompetent regime. 2/

They are trying to erase us from public life. Make no mistake, this decision won’t “untrans” anyone, but it’ll definitely unalive people.

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?
