Found my ancient iPod Shuffle 2nd gen and decided to fill it up with 80s music. Feel like I'm carrying around my own little radio station with no commercials. Screw Spotify.

I'm nearky 59 and I'm certain I'm autistic (I have untreated ADHD too) and I haven't gotten tested because I am terrified to be a trans woman with a documented mental illness in this country.

RFK Jr on autism: "'Oh, we're just noticing it more.' But this is an absurdity ... if we were just noticing it more, we would notice it in older groups. But we're not ... so something happened in the mid '90s that changed our children"

And this is why I consider most cis "allies" to be utterly worthless. If your advocacy for trans people ends when it's an inconvenience for you then you're not an ally at all. You'll "dignity and respect" us right into camps.

"“I think that the trans community deserve safety and dignity and respect and total acceptance. But I love Harry Potter." is such a wild quote. Like, you've just got to laugh at this point.

I am REAL tired of my existence being up for debate.

My mind has been blown. I was WONDERING about that.

yes a common visible sign that appears of a body with a penis that is estrogen dominant. it's a dark streak along the raphe and this happens in part because this is where the vaginal opening would form if your anatomy was open (dia, i.e. canal) rather than sealed (peri). also marks an erogenous zone

WNBA players union leadership released a statement, I suggest everyone read it. This is the message of united union leaders: hate will not be tolerated and trans inclusion IS protecting women’s rights to play sports This is excellently crafted. Proud of Nneka, Phee and the rest of WNBPA leaders

It's shocking how even cis folks who aren't hostile towards us have no concept of what HRT can do. It's like they assume all trans women wear wigs and have breast implants.

I am cautiously optimistic. It makes sense that VIZ would want to actually make money on a valuable IP like RWBY and I have at least some faith that it will be treated with respect.

I used to suffer from a yearly (if I was lucky) sinus infection that would take me out of action for a week. I haven't had one in 6 years. Guess why.

Ward Q. Normal (he/him)@wardqnormal.bsky.social · last wk.

Why do I mask? Yes, it's because I have an immune system issue and need to avoid Covid. But the real reason is 6 years of empirical data. I don't get sick anymore! I used to be sick multiple times a year. Missed several once-in-a-lifetime events I still regret. Mask means not sick? Gimme mask.

Good god, mention writing in a thread and all the writing scambots come out of the woodwork.

Brother you aren't just barking up the wrong tree, it's not even the right forest.

Deeply disappointed at the comments on my Ken Jennings video. People would rather have empathy for a cis person than the trans person mocked. Yeah it’s the trans persons fault for lightly pointing out to a cis person the New York Times is bad actually to trans person. She’s making it about herself.

Remember all those queer romances in Mass Effect and Dragon Age? Well, good thing we've got the old games.....

The air here is FOUL. AC/air filters going and I'm loopy from allergy meds.

‘I Will Literally Eat Anything’: RFK Jr. Touts His Nonexistent ‘Gag Reflex’

Thank you random woman at the grocery store for complementing my top. Made my day.

"But my nostalgia! But my favorite morning word game! But this mid video game! But my sport! But my chicken sandwich!" Hey, real quick, what ARE you willing to give up to not support our oppressors?

So much better by any metric.

*tapping the sign*

Not for the first time I wish I lived in Portland proper and had a local trans girlfriend to hang out with. Turns out being a hermit isn't conducive to that.

Kara Buchanan 🏳️‍⚧️@magicariot.com · 2w ago

Steph and I went out in the neighborhood for dinner and drinks and vegan ice cream and y'all there were SO MANY lesbian couples and trans gals out this evening. we got compliments from a tatted girl with a carabiner. it was a magical Portland time hashtag blessed day, in Sappho's name we rejoice

What the heck? I've read the books and listened to them once already but this is the first time I've cried. Claire describing how she was feeling while watching the band really hit me this time. "What's it like to be you? What's it like to be beautiful and true?" Well we both made it, Claire.

In an effort to rein in the despair I can feel building in me as a trans woman I'm getting off social media for a few days and re-listening to my @magicariot.com audiobooks. I need the reminder that trans joy is a real thing.

Love these little reminders that cis people as a whole will never have our backs.

This just in: White straight cis man is an asshole about trans people. Saying absolutely nothing would have been better but we're just a punchline to him.

I will never understand the casual cruelty of strangers on the Internet.

I mean trans people are a little over 1% of the population and they're perfectly fine with us dying as well. What's another 1%?

Rep. Ogles: "Look, I don't want to play down the effects of the virus, but at the end of the day it had a roughly 1 percent mortality rate. We coulda gotten through this."

Trans lesbians deserve the world

Big news! I've launched a completely new Magica Riot official store, featuring not only ebooks but audiobooks and stickers too! Check it out at store.magicariot.com This was a long time coming and I'd like to write a thread detailing all the huge changes this new store brings! So, READ ON:

Magica Riot Official Store

pretty much proves what we on the left have been saying all along: 'vote blue no matter who' has only ever gone one way.

Centrists in Congress (anonymously) threatening to leave this Democratic Party. James Carville calling for a schism. Top Dems refusing to endorse Dem primary winners. Pouty (also anonymous) pro-Israel donors in MI calling for a donor strike—I wrote about the emerging centrist Uncommitted Movement.

If you care about trans people it's way past time for you to get a lot fucking louder about it. They're trying to build a Fourth Reich upon our ashes and liberals still call us an issue and a distraction. They want to wipe us out. Act like you know it.

Trump: "No transgender surgery and the mutilization of your children. They mutilize your children. So ladies and gentlemen of Michigan, the golden age of American is upon us. We're in the golden age."
