@Tweetfiction I don't understand this "infringing on the rights of biological women" bit. How? Know who's infringing on my rights? Old white guys that don't think I'm capable of making health care decisions regarding my own body. Biological women and trans men and women have the same issue. None of us are trusted to make decisions about our own personhood and bodies. It blows my mind that any woman would feel her rights are threatened by a trans woman.

Over several weeks I composed a letter to the social-worker who has taken over my case, as they wanted to know about my abilities to communicate. I have now published the (redacted) letter on my blog, entitled “Communications Difficulties with Severe #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis” as it may be useful to other #pwME / #pwFM. #SevereME

Fun fact: a blue whale’s anus can stretch to approximately three and a half feet, making them the second largest arseholes on the planet, just behind people who amplify Russian propaganda.

A family member just sent me this pic of snow on Grizzly Peak in the Berkeley hills! #cawx

it's called "the lightbulb" and we think you're going to love it

#Racism: #Feel versus #Know

Rain was forecast. I hate umbrellas. I wore a hat - a black, wide-brimmed fedora. Plus a black suit and black overcoat.
I have a beard; and very white skin. Guess which racial stereotype I may have seemed like?

As I came out of the train station I heard "fuck off back where you came from" and "we don't want your type here", then realised it was directed at me.

When it's you, you feel it.

I felt it.

I've remembered the feeling of fear and terror ever since.

I am begging more people to understand that legal bans on drag are just an easier way to pass laws make being trans/GNC in public illegal.

The claim that these laws are meant to "ban drag to protect children" is intended to hide the fact that they actually make "cross dressing" in public (aka "anywhere people under 18 could be") illegal.

That means if your ID says M and you are in a dress doing your grocery shopping you can be arrested. If your ID says F and you are wearing men's pants and a button down at your doctor's office you can be arrested.

This is not careless wording, it is a very pointed and purposeful way to get these laws passed before most people understanding their true intent and how they will be used.

They know people are less likely to oppose or work to stop a law that is "banning drag to protect children" from passing than a law "banning trans people from existing anywhere in public". They know that LGBTQIA+ people and our allies will not give as much time/energy to fighting what they think is a "ban on drag" than a "ban on trans people" because the level of importance and impact will seem lower.

They also want to stop drag and will use it to limit drag performances too, but the main targets/intent once these laws are passed is to use it against trans/GNC people so we literally cannot legally exist in any public space.

Their goal is to terrorize trans people out of existence, push us back into (or keep us from coming out of) the closet, and throw any of us who try to continue to exist in jail. Tennessee is now the first to pass one of these laws, but MANY states in the US have laws already being advanced that move them towards this goal.

It. Is. Not. About. Drag.

Sometimes words cannot fully describe the horrors of war.

But pictures can.

These 'Postcards from Ukraine' show the scale of suffering and destruction caused by Russia's war of aggression.

Even more so, they show how important it is to help Ukraine rebuild what war has destroyed.

The EU is working with its international partners to already start rebuilding Ukraine and ensure our commitment in the long term.

We will not stop until Ukraine prevails.

Everyone on Mastodon is a lawyer or surgeon or PhD and I’m over here like “Heyyyy, e-bestiez!! I just finished my online certificate in Social Media Etiquette so who’s the baddest bitch now?!?”

Going to a #BlackHistoryMonth educational performance at my kids school.

Going to support Black History while we still have it.

Before republicans completely try to erase it from Schools curriculum cause they can’t handle their white guilt.

I’m so tired of the tyranny, hypocrisy, Gaslighting, denial & misinformation.

They’re evil weak ass monsters who can’t handle anything that doesn’t line their pockets with blood money or fit their narrative.

Well f*ck ‘em!

They can’t erase the truth. 🤬

Also, it's #ShutTheFuckUpFriday

If the cops suspect you of a crime, NOTHING you say will help you. Tell them you are invoking your right to remain silent and request an attorney.

GETTING YOU TO TALK IS HOW THEY GET CONVICTIONS

Your lawyer will help you decide, carefully, what to say if anything. Don't make that decision without your lawyer.

The florists I called knew nothing about tile, hardwood or carpeting.

Our 44th US #President #BarackObama, born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii, burst onto the national political scene in 2004 with a speech to the DNC national convention.

He's said that if he wasn’t a politician, he'd want to be an architect. Obama is married to #MichelleObama and have two daughters who live together in Calif. Malia, 24, works in television while Sasha, 21, attends USC.
