While he is remembered by most as a woman, his veneration says that when he was accused of befouling a local woman he confessed to the crime because: "he would rather live as a sinful man than a chaste woman." That speaks to many as a sign that he would have liked to be called he/him.

For those that don't know, today is #Transgender Day of Remembrance. It's a day when we remember those that died forgotten by history, before they could live authentically, or as a result of hate. This year I am lighting a candle for Saint Marinos, a trans man venerated in Eastern Orthodoxy.

In my experience, bricks are really good at smashing things.

I'm really sorry that happened to you. It should never be used as a pejorative. I used it to describe myself because I want to embrace what I am and what I want to be. If anyone used it to describe someone else in a negative way around me, there would be serious words.

That's how I tend to think of myself, but then I don't mind my hard edges, either. I earned those.

Brick is a term used to describe oneself as feeling all sharp corners/rough, no curves/not soft. It basically means you are not very fem presenting. This can be a signifier of dysphoria, "I'm feeling bricky today" or a sign of pride, "I'm a Brick. Deal with it."

It can also be used as a pejorative.

I thought the Bricks are also the Dolls. Personally.

THE HAT IS ALMOST AT 20%!! Can we make it before the end of the day???

It is unfathomable to me that we’re all just supposed to be okay with higher energy costs and more air and light pollution, in exchange for a machine that steals personal data and copyrighted material and produces slop and wage theft, and big tech can do this to our society unilaterally.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

In the spring, the Trump administration abruptly cut $500 million from an emergency food assistance program that delivered meat, dairy, eggs and produce to food banks across the country.

Thousands of planned deliveries were canceled without warning.

I would really like to be able to exist without my socials being shared in transphobic hate groups on Facebook and mocked.

Is that too much to ask?

I'm not someone who's ever felt comfortable owning a gun, but anyone who's known me long enough knows I've advocated for any trans person that feels comfortable doing so to arm up, if for no other reason than to keep armed fascists who want us dead never certain we'll be easy targets.

This is bad.

If the Trump White House wants to ban all transgender people from owning guns because a handful were responsible for mass shootings, wait until they hear how many shootings straight cis white guys have done.
