The potato farmers have a gofundme set up to help the farmers offset the expenses of having all these potatoes cleaned and bagged for folk on top of not getting paid for the potatoes themselves, so if you are in a position to help the potato farmers out in return for their kindness, you can do so here apparently (linked from the official potatoes.com blog, actually): gofundme.com/f/help-washington

and more black death 

Covid19 is not the only reason black folks are dying disproportionately at hospitals. We're disproportionately infected but lo and behold the "treatment" is ALSO disproportionately killing us wow look at that

reasons why the police are shit 

Crime is down, arrests are down, the rate of "officer-related fatalities" (cops killing folks) remains the same.

okay i cant find the post so im just going to re-write it. trans masc pol 

I appreciate all the rallying behind trans masc people today but i want to make something abundantly clear

i dont need people to "not all men" for me. i internalized this before i transitioned, but i have always understood jabs at men not meaning that all men do [thing] but simply that 99% of people who do [thing] are men. it does not offend me. i really dont care. most of the time, i agree.

and instead of getting mad at random people for venting about men, i would much rather we put our energy into reshaping trans spaces that are so hostile to masc folks. say cis men when you mean cis men. dont say that T is poison. dont conflate "trans" with "trans woman." dont create dichotomies in the trans community to exclude trans masc people. i could go on and on you get my point.

we're in this together, and everything i do is to try to bring us together without pretending we're the same. we can acknowledge our different needs and experiences without excluding eachother.

@junebug Honestly, given what I know about him, he definitely didn't know he was doing that, but that almost makes it more important in terms of trans representation, like, this old British dude just also came up with the idea that people can be trans and stuck it in his book and was like "This is just how things are"

important quote from article, intersectionality, black trans men, feel free to boost 

"[T]rans men’s relationship to gender cannot be understood by adding the privilege of maleness to the oppression of transness; the interaction between these axes substantively transforms both such that it generates an experience qualitatively different from either alone.

This qualitative difference is particularly salient for Black trans men and transmasculine people, whose experiences at the intersection of race, gender, and trans status are especially ill-captured by a sex-class approach. The assumption that masculinity necessarily means freedom from gender oppression ignores how race/ism is always gendered, and in particular how Black masculine people are gendered as inherently dangerous (and targeted for anti-Black violence on the basis of that “danger”)."

Stop Shaming People For Not Doing Things You Think Are Easy 2020

a piping hot take on transmasc support 

"we support trans mascs!" really just comes across as "please don't forget we support you too haha" when like. we wouldn't be out here forgetting if non transmasc people actually engaged with us on issues or took accountability for when their behavior hurts as lmao

a piping hot take on transmasc support 

posts that are just like "i love trans men!", very frequently not even posted by trans masc people, always get way more attention and boosts than actual posts we write on how the community fails transmascs and, that does not whip imo

Empathy: I feel you

Sympathy: I feel for you

Lycanthropy: I feel :awoo:
