Here’s the bigger ask I mentioned: I owe $6k in back rent. I’ve been selling my limited belongings to reduce the number but it is slow going and I can’t hope to cover it all, especially not in the short time I have. I have enough to cover October rent and little more. More details below.

Our society's unfathomable cruelty to homeless people is not just morally unjustifiable, but more expensive than housing people would be. Cruelty against the homeless is an unaffordable luxury. Abandoning homeless people to avoid offending the Protestant work ethic is an unaffordable luxury.

it is very funny how transmisogynistic even the supposedly sympathetic portrayals are; this is the thing I wish people would understand, is that even within queer community, transmisogyny is seen as an acceptable bigotry

To all the lgbt folks out there who say age verification doesn’t matter. Surprise surprise they intended to use it against us. Like this doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see. When they get to change the rules all of us are targets.

The Missouri Attorney General is threatening librarians with arrest over an LGBTQ+ story hour for kids, suggesting that a picture book about gay dinosaur dads is "pornography." The Secretary of State says he'll pull funding if the event happens, citing the state's new age verification law.

Average queer discourse: Yeah, I know the government is trying to kill us all but I just gotta talk shit about (insert name of queer person just existing) for the sake of the community.
