To all the Transgender people living in fear of the country and the hatred. Remember our voice between all the hate and fear: You are human. You are people. You are innocent. You are welcome. You are loved. We will never let this hatred destroy the identity you rightfully have. You are us too. ❤️

Once we've crushed any hopes and expectations, I can let go and just write.

I fully intend to disappoint with every first attempt in a stunning display of ineptitude and candour.

Yeah...we don't like you broadcasting your violence porn either...so no...fuck off and take your MAGA 'arguments' with you 👎 What a damn cult

Thinking back, it's still embarrassing to realize how little I understood the problem and the desire to do right wasn't enough. It took listening, time, swallowing pride and admitting privilege amongst other things. I can see why it's not easy, but if we want fairness, it's gotta be done.

in the beginning this made no sense to me, many years ago. it took a while to understand what it was like to be excluded from racism and how that narrowed my egalitarian views... I didn't see the suffering because I wasn't part of it. It's important for people to take time and learn that lesson.

yeah, I've been kicking against the same "it's just business tree" with some people and the excuses some people have are just awful, untrue, blatantly selfish, or, the worst kind, victim blaming (poor by choice). What kind of cunt blames someone for being poor.

is it over yet?

"come pray with us"

those decade long gaps between anxiety and getting started sure take a bit of time

How about something like Bookradials, or Wordnexus? A rose by any other name... but what rose did you make?

Christ... war is hard to look at... how awful

The calm and loving way of delivery and the pure motivation for safety of children vs the abject cowardice of a parasite... Remember in the early days when they kept saying: "stop getting so upset about everything it's fine" well, those people that said, no, get more upset? They were right!

Me talking about US politics and upcoming November to my lovely people in The Netherlands:

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

you don't attack the international court of justice... I think you get the point.

I don't believe in my retirement. It's lost or stolen when I reach that point. I've said this for decades. The only thing that changed is how people decreasingly call me a cynic for my belief.

the details of the attack are horrifying like a wild animal attack... what a nightmare for her
