i'm taking a break from bsky for a while. the more-traumatizing-by-the-day political news that i've worked so hard to curate out of my feeds here just keeps reappearing. I have like 500 & variations of words muted and i'm blocking thousands of accounts via lists. that shit still slips thru. no more.

kinda recently finally figured out that both of my parents are narcissists. i've gone through low/no contact phases with both of them (right now included). about halfway thru an 8-year no contact period with my mom, i got an email asking why i wasn't talking to her. it contained no self-awareness.
When I speak to the people I know who went no contact with their folks about it I hear horrific stories of abuse, of violence and childhood neglect of the most dangerous kinds.
wonder how much of the autism/adhd moral panic that’s built up the past few years is less due to increased awareness and more… COVID/lockdowns disrupted everything so much that people’s masking behaviours fully fell away, and this is what provoked more to seek out answers (and then a diagnosis).
Fuck Newsom. Cis white libs I'm begging you, when you vote don't just pick people who shout things at MAGA on social media. Actions speak louder than words; most of the politicians who rise in popularity because of their wit haven't done a single thing to help the people they claim to serve.
@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Sep Governor Gavin Newsom vetoes bill passed which would protect CA providers of gender-affirming care from being extradited to face charges for doing so by another state. www.ebar.com/story/170505...
i may be exaggerating slightly
I'll put mine in the replies.
dear cis people: there are no trans women in the wnba, and no minors are getting sex reassignment surgery. you are being lied to. these are not real issues and they should not be engaged with as serious debate even hypothetically. doing so only helps legitimize harmful lies. don’t be a chump.
election season is such a good time when youre a scapegoated minority thats important enough to decide the result but not important enough that you get a platform to explain why you deserve to live
i'm feeling much better than i was a month ago when my leave started, for sure. getting there slowly. there have been two things that my mind and body can no longer seem to agree on: sleep and food. i've had relatively little of both in the past month, yet i feel, eh, "kind of ok".
pretty much zero here, too. i have my wife and she is enough. i had to explain, again, why travel is unsafe for me this week, and that where i live could become a red state in six weeks. 98% of cis people will never truly care, so they don't ask, and thus they will never know. they don't want to
Trans folks, how many cis people, that you consider friends in the real world, have reached out to ask if you're OK over the last five years? For me, despite them mostly being queer people or family, that number is zero.
mmyep. if you aren't on the far left, this is generally your position disgusting 🤬
a lot of people act like there's a trade being offered where we give up trans athletes in sports and in exchange fascism is defeated forever
every day of my life I think about the people using “she” to describe this computer program who still need to be convinced to use it for trans women
Tilly Norwood, a controversial AI “actor,” abruptly switched languages during an interview with Piers Morgan, though the company behind the AI creation denied she malfunctioned.
And lemme tell y'all this as a cis gal: If you truly care and you find yourself interacting with trans people in any way, you pick up real fast why your unwashed cis opinions don't matter. I'll give you an example in terms that you might understand from a Black perspective -
"i support trans rights but trans ppl online are so rude & angry all the time" those experiencing a genocide & watching "allies" deny & ignore it for years naturally tend to be fed up, yes. were we rude? or did you come into our replies to give your ignorant unwanted cis person opinions???
the new gender-conservative movement might have been contained before it gained the power it now has, if cis people listened to trans women EVER.
i have at least 5 such stories, all involving the school pool during high school jesus fuck gym class was traumatic for eggs

if you say the phrase "transgender ideology" i don't think you should be allowed in polite society. maybe a box? a small box. so you can think about what you've said and done.
extremely impressed, though perplexed why i waited so long to transition. my egg hadn't cracked fully at 20 (that took 5 more years) but i knew i hated being a man. 20 y/o me wouldn't understand a lot of the trauma she'd carry at my age now, & lacked the experience to understand what love or
Would 20 y/o you be impressed or disappointed by you today?
The vitriol directed at me and other members of the trans community for having the audacity to declare our votes are not to be taken for granted. By cisgender people who otherwise have called themselves allies. I wish it weren’t so utterly predictable.
Trans people are the out group that keeps on giving. Y’all are basically the perfect target. It really fucks with them cuz it hits their hatred of women and gay people all at once. Throw in there that they all secretly wanna fuck y’all and it’s perfect storm of chud rage.
insomnia has been so severe lately, i got a prescription for Lunesta. night 1 result: some of the most fragmented, unfulfilling, unsatisfying 3 hours & 51 minutes of sleep i've had in, i dunno, a week? woke at 3am sleep for me right now is an unsolveable puzzle, as it has been for much of my life 🥺
ed sheeran and justin timberlake have to firm a shitty supergroup now. i'm sorry; i don't make the rules
Democrats have shown us since the 2024 election that they won't stand for any leftist issues or protect any vulnerable groups. They only care about protecting their personal wealth and power. A vote for a centrist is a vote for continued fascism.
this shit does not work on me. go try it on the centrists who call trans women "biological men."
please help, even sharing helps... my mom is talking about forcing me into some kind of christian therapy program for depression and i do NOT want that, they've threatened to put me on the street if i say no, i do not feel safe, please i'm begging... i don't know what else to do
If I am able to raise $3k by the end of the month my girlfriend will be safe, able to get healthy, and be protected by me. Please help me raise these funds to rescue her! 🫂 foxes.red/helpjoy #helpsky #mutualaid #helpfolkslive #safejoy
