Today is Trans Day of Rememberance

On this day, we remember the lives lost to anti-trans violence.

331 gender diverse and trans identifying people were killed across the world this year that we know of.

Numbers can be dehumanizing, but I want the following to HUMANIZE THEM:

Brazil (130)
Mexico (63)
United States (30)

These are primarily trans femmes. Overall, primarily trans women of color. Each of these aspects of their being dehumanized these women further in the eyes of their killers.

This adds to the 3314 recorded since 2008. 331/3314 is 10% of the total in 12 years. That means as trans awareness goes up, so too have murders. The average per year would be 276. It's 331 in 2019.

me, talking to my partner: I can't believe you made me sit through that and you didn't even know--

friend: you make it sound like you were held against your will to watch this!

me, sitting next to my partner: well, yeah, I was held against my will the whole time

my partner, whose name is will: >:|

i'm so glad the rich hoard their money so that i can struggle to survive everyday for the rest of my life :)

@AudreyJune maths!

like, actually, no joke, one of the primary considerations in making final name decision was a numerical thing. the name had to be a particular number of letters, a particular number of syllables, and a particular number of words, all together. by that point we'd already sort of figured out what we were keeping, what we were changing, and what we were throwing out entirely, so we ended up with a simple set of constraints that ended up exactly fitting a bad pun. hence, name.

i think its normal to have crushes on all your metamours 🤔

a good etiquette is that if you're finding you want to censor a word, instead consider leaving it as-is, so wordfilters will catch it, and using a euphemism for the word (e.g., "f-slur") in the CW of the post

your regular reminder that censoring words l*ke th*s is actively counterproductive because it bypasses the filters that people set up for themselves

to take an innocuous example, if i use filters to block the word "orange", and you write "or*nge", you have now ensured that i will see a post that i have explicitly tried to get out of my timeline

Ill never stop laughing at the dublin theatre festival putting up big banners all over town that just say DTF
