dems will say trans people are not worth protecting with their whole chests and expect us to vote for them anyway. we are genuinely just not fully human in their eyes.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

"are trans people bourgeois?" - the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked after 12239 pages of liberals condescending to bipoc

It's like the most bourgeoisie decision you could make, in the mean time, impoverished BIPOC individuals crawl over broken glass for miles at a time to overcome Jim Crow and get to their closest polling station. You're like "but but the candidates just aren't INSPIRING enough" 💅

you're wearing cute lingerie today because you wanted to feel cute. I'm wearing cute lingerie today because I haven't done laundry in a month and I've run out of regular undies AND because I wanted to feel cute. we are not the same

People will be like "your vote matters, make your voice heard," and then you'll use your voice to say "I do not want to vote for transphobes," and they'll be like "no, not like that."

"I can't believe nobody voted for me," cries politician running on "I won't do shit about fuck if you vote for me" platform

will democrats pass legislation to protect trans people if they win the vote? no. but will they pass legislation to stop funnelling guns and money to apartheid regimes? also no. but will they take literally any action to protect access to basic reproductive healthcare? well, no,

for the hundredth time, when your entire platform boils down to "at least we're not the other guy", you should not act shocked when people choose not to vote at all

this outfit has zero tiddy support and I am absolutely gonna flash a nip to the entire bar if I make one wrong move, but it was worth it

for the first time in almost a decade, I'm wearing an outfit without pockets you don't realise how great male privilege is until it's gone

Minor point but I really hate this performative “y’all” people do to try and appear more folksy. I don’t type in a Yorkshire accent and I did people would rightly tell me to shut up.

I once stood in front of a lin onus painting at QAGOMA for half an hour not fully comprehending why I couldn't stop crying and now I'm writing a PhD about first nations justice

Hey, have you seen a piece of visual art, studio art, sculpture, painting, like that that fucked you up in the best way? Like, we hear that about music and movies and books, but what about art in a gallery or museum? Tell us about it!

learning about colonialism and the history of civilisation through the vector/hook of a mundane consumer object is unironically orders of magnitude more useful and important than learning about the fucking philosophy of bitcoin

well, Craig, we can't all be studying money and bitcoin now can we?

everyone who said the pain would not last long was correct, it's only been a couple of days and I'm already feeling totally fine 🎉

tom gleeson was very funny onstage and very lovely offstage!

we had a house inspection pretty much right after I got home, so I did have to keep them covered for a bit, but now I'm just lying in bed topless watching old episodes of taskmaster and having a grand time
