Having a chill, safe, and gentle weekend, my brain is like: "hey, you're safe enough to freak about about everything now. Do you wanna spiral?"
And I'm like: "Um... no, I don't"
Brain: "Well, tough, that wasn't really a question. We're gonna spiral."
Anyway, if you live in the Midwest (Twin Cities, Chicago, etc) or in Northern California (Oakland, Sebastapol, San Francisco), you like my vibe and think you can respectfully match it, don't hesitate to let me know if you run into me. :) I'm looking for dates!
In short, I didn't know my value because the first few decades of my life, I didn't have family who reflected it back to me. No one taught me. And so, I'd hoe it out, crash, and get depressed intermittently. But now I see myself. My aliveness is so precious and worth protecting.
I would say that I haven't always trusted or recognized my own aliveness and I suffered from chronic dissociation for the first two and a half decades of my life. I also haven't always known how to protect it from the wrong folks. So, that has been the growth journey the past few years.
I just need the world to know that I'm attracted to all genders if that wasn't clear already (I'm pansexual, and yes, my history is mostly T4T, but I've been attracted to cis men and women, too).
The world also ought to know that your aliveness is going to be the first thing I notice about you. 🥰

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."
I will never not watch this video when it comes across my feed. Coco is so talented AND a nut! 🤣🤣🤣
All the wrong people have imposter syndrome.
IKEA is so exciting and overstimulating!!
I went to a "Plan and Pick Up" location, so it was very parred down and chill. :)
Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.
Be the IKEA woman you wish to see in the world.
Also, she called me a "very interesting girl" and I didn't have the heart to tell her I'm nonbinary bc #shy and masking my autism pretty poorly in public today.
Thank you IKEA woman who said my salt and pepper hair was sexy in a very demure and very mindful way today. Very respectful. It is something I have felt self-conscious about being in my early 30s.

Black and brown trans people exist as well and have had history going back for millenia. If you think someone being trans is a white thing... congrats on drinking the colonizer/transphobic kool aid as well. That is all.
Let's see if we can raise $10,000 today for red state or national queer orgs. Post proof here in the replies that you donated to a red state or national queer organization and I will share.
Who's with me?
(I can't donate myself because I'm a journalist who covers these orgs)
critical support to our sisters at transformationskc.org!! They do truly incredible work and focus on Missouri, Kansas, and Arkansas.
bring back inviting people over for dinner casually.
All I know is that he's an NYT writer? Which is probably why I have never heard of him because fuck the NYT.
Being Black and trans and having absolutely no clue what is going on today on bsky. Trying to research the jbouie thing (never heard of this man til today) and my Black trans ass still doesn't quite understand.
If a fellow Black trans person wants to catch me up to speed, please DM me!
I am going to say something very loudly and very clearly:
All mainstream media needs to decouple gender identity from heinous acts. This is not a request.
This trend is upsetting, vilifying, terrifying, and overtly wrong.
People do not commit heinous acts because they have nonconforming genders.
It’s day 91 of the ICE occupation of MN.
The horrors persist but so do we.
As ICE continues to terrorize communities, the threat of evictions continues to loom.
Tuesday at 9:30 at Mpls City Hall, neighbors are gathering to say: No Evictions Under Occupation!

Y'all ever buy a bottle of kombucha at the store and find a scoby in there? 🥴
