30's something femme in mid-atlantic united states. shooting rubberbands at the stars. 🇵🇸🍉 bluesky moderation is abetting a genocide by blocking Palestinian accounts.

probably one of my biggest transition Ws is that. as i was presenting masc at a relative's funeral party in suburban texas, my older (mom's generation) cousin, a perfectly-coiffed lesbian hairstylist, tapped me on the shoulder and said "honey, you're beautiful. keep going"

i think literally no one is mad enough at cars. we just kinda ruined every aspect of modern life across the globe and will continue to have people killed for the sake of slightly faster transportation. if we weren’t a very sick people it would be everyone’s priority to reduce car dependence

Hey. Hey you. You know that feeling? The sense that there's something you want to say, that every sentence you reach for seems to miss something? Don't trust the sense of discouragement. It can be articulated and you can be the one to articulate it. Take it seriously as a challenge. Pin it down.

GUY WITH A TINY BACKPACK: You okay? What's up? ME LOOKING SUICIDAL OUTSIDE A HOUSE SHOW: A dark wind, I think. A sick mother comin' to chop down her own tree. Sorry I have to speak in spirals. GUY WITH A TINY BACKPACK JUST COMPLETELY MISHEARING ME: Hi Darkwin. I'm Persimmon

None of us is more important than a Palestinian child being bombed by Israel, or a Sudanese woman being assaulted by the RSF, or a Congolese child being enslaved so you can use a smartphone and AI, or an immigrant being tortured in ICE detention, or a detainee in Riker's who can't afford bail.
