Isn't it beautiful how they're so afraid of words on a wall? So terrified of trans youth learning that resistance works? That solidarity shatters chains? That we've always been here, fighting back, winning? They should be afraid. We remember everything.

History doesn't just rhyme - it burns. πŸ”₯Quick history lesson: Stonewall wasn't won with petitions. It was won with bricks, with rage, with trans and queer people saying 'we'd rather die on our feet than live on our knees.' Today they're still trying to force us to our knees. Still not working. 🧱

Trump erasure of transgender references extends to Stonewall monument website President Donald Trump's transgender policy began with a Day One executive order delegitimizing gender identity. Now it has encroached on a conspicuous place, removing the word "transgender" from the U.S. National Park Service website for the Stonewall National Monument.

You know what's beautifully ironic? Trying to remove trans people from a monument to what happens when society pushes trans people too far. Some people really need to study the history they're trying to erase.

Very proud to announce the Department of Health will now process all requests to change gender designation on birth certificates within three business days. Previously, there was as much as a 10 month wait.

Somehow, though, I remain optimistic that the benefits of connecting with others on the internet outweigh the risks πŸ˜…

I think parts of the internet are still fun, mostly the personal and non-commercial web. But yes, there’s definitely some risk that things we share online can be used against us that we probably didn’t fully appreciate on the old web

Sooo other than technical details vis a vis protocols / decentralization, are Bluesky and Mastodon meaningfully different? Serious question.
