By being joyful and generous in everyday life, you can give the best medicine to your dear heart it eagerly needs. From the embrace of my snowful winter wonderland on the frozen Fish Lake of the Yukon, I am dispatching joy, hope, healing and positivity.

@Eka_FOOF_A @TrisResists That is why the GOP is mounting a full assault against voting rights. That is why the GOP want the states to over rule the voters. That is why the SCROTUMS in the Supreme court will water down voting rights.

This was Speaker Nancy Pelosi on January 6th. She took over as President because Trump failed to do his job. She made the calls. She protected democracy. We should be so grateful for Speaker Pelosi’s calm & collected leadership on that day.

Yesterday I had a rather unpleasant shopping experience as a #trans woman. I was at a consignment store.

A woman grumbled at me for existing near her. We were both looking at office supplies.

An Englishman (in conversation with an employee about how cool the monarchy is) abruptly halted his conversation and stared at me any time I was near. This happened 3x.

The icing on the proverbial cake was when an employee took a picture of me while I was at the checkout. Wherever that photo goes, it reduces my safety.

I'm ok and have adequate support systems to cope with it. But that's not every trans person's experience, and I worry about my trans siblings. Arm yourselves, my siblings. I carry a simple force multiplyer tool, do what makes sense for you. Anything is better than nothing at all.

Be extra kind to your trans friends, and do what it takes to shut up your local transphobes. ✌️

Always. Every goddamn time. It's like they're advertising the truth about themselves when they start LGBTQ-bashing.

Yes it took me 33 years to realize I'm trans but it also took me 20+ years to realize that nobody outside my family pronounces "sherbet" like it's spelled "sherbret" so maybe it just takes me time to figure stuff out

@aprilkirby
I gave up years ago, and just went with "sorbet".
Yeah, it's a different thing, but no one notices.

If you ever see me at the grocery store handling kale, guaranteed it's just to get my fingers wet to open a plastic bag for something else.
