Or you log on and see a picture from a girl who broke your heart when you didn't remember she was ever on here and realize you've simply flown too close to the sun. Logging back off yall have fun

You grow up having to walk on eggshells around an explosive temper, you develop a finely tuned vibe detector and get anxious at the slightest change in how people interact with you, and you struggle to be chill about it because you instinctively think it must mean Something Scary Soon

Crazy how I've spent less time on social media this week and my anxiety has lessened. Crazy to then express that on social media.

these queer proceedings increased my uncomfortableness

Damn me, but all things are queer, come to think of ’em.

correcting myself: writer of this piece is trans. she is ex-lds, tho. and i checked to see if she’d signed the nyt contributors’ letter along with the rest of us because she’d written for them in the past and she sure did not. which makes this even more fucked

The ‘Jeopardy!’ host made it absolutely clear where he stands once again.

Don't think I posted it here but btw I lost my job last month and am looking for work (NYC or remote). Preferably something full-time with a dignified salary, but won't turn up my nose at hourly wages if necessary. Background in writing, research, teaching, public speaking, and customer service.

Finally, a book about going to the bar that you can take TO the bar 🍺 That's right Sloane Murphy's upcoming debut SHUT UP, I LOVE YOU, I'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW is just the thing to keep in your back pocket to impress all the girls at the function with your cutting-edge taste in trans literature 🔮

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

Hey everyone's been up here for ages watching you try to roll that boulder all the way up the hill again and again. Why do you keep letting it roll back down like that? Is something wrong with you?

wait “we two shall mingle and make love upon our bed. so mutual trust may come of play and love” kinda goes crazy. anyone know if this circe woman is problematic

By far the funniest moment in Homer’s Odyssey is when Circe says, “Shall we have sex?” and Odysseus says, “You just turned all my men into pigs. You have the GALL to think I would sleep with you? Of course I will. Absolutely. But don’t do any weird spells”

Wow. The ICE shooter in Maine asked his ex-wife to "to lie for him and to cover for his character." She said he was abusive and had previously reported concerns about him to his military superiors. He was also a volunteer firefighter, but was removed after several spats with department leadership.

ICE agent who killed man in Biddeford identified as former Maine law enforcement officer

An ex-wife told the Press Herald that David Brouillette called her and admitted he was the ICE agent who shot Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero.

We don’t get here without the unrestrained transphobia of outlets like The Atlantic and The New York Times or the utter failure of messaging from the Democratic Party. The liberal establishment kicked trans people to the curb and looked away as the bus ran us over.

I thought FFS would make life feel more manageable. It removed my most immediate, omnipresent source of angst, and now I'm left to face everything else. It's like transitioning again!

The trans sports ban are almost completely an invention of the media, conservative and mainstream. it has been years of lies, of shoddy fact checking on just completely false conservative claims, years of phony concern trolling.

everyone wants sword lesbians, no one wants to consider the realities of the medieval lesbian economy where a sword was a costly item and queens had to implement complicated realm-wide levies where 2-4 polycules had to contribute towards arming a single one of their number for military service

I cannot say this loudly enough: we need everyone to know what is happening at Delaney Hall. 300 detainees inside are on Day 7 of a hunger and labor strike as of today. ICE is beating, gassing, tasing and assaulting protestors outside every night, and it is getting worse.

male socialisation is when they hold you down and [cut footage of trans girl’s entire childhood and teen years] and after a while you stop even crying because what would be the point

may@maysuser.name · 3mo ago

the idea that male socialization is something that pre-transition trans women take advantage of and not something enforced upon us is utterly laughable

"let people enjoy things" is over. we must want things to be good

I read this as "Dems Inside GOP," which is orthogonal to this point but

Derpin around to fall out boy 2day

I honestly don’t think Gavin Newsom’s position on any issue is particularly relevant, because he is an innately unlikable person and most primary voters will sniff him out immediately.

Also I started a roaming meal kitchen called Serving Spoons where trans women feed each other bc we're food insecure and we need irl community support networks that aren't about nightlife, clout, or sex. Funded by (ideally) anyone besides trans women, bc we're poor. This is a good thing, I think

An unaccounted for part of the economy is how much young people virulently hate AI, despite how aggressively it's being forced on them. They realize it's making their friends dumber and ruining the world and they want nothing to do with it. From the Penn student paper: www.thedp.com/article/2026...

Biannual Log In day. Wrote 1200 words this afternoon. I can't imagine a future for myself without writing, but I am bad at maintaining writing habits and believing I can be good enough for my standards. Still broke, insecure, and borderline agoraphobic. Etc etc But hey I get FFS May 12 so it's cool
