I read NYT's article about the January 6th Pink Hat Lady, who was under house arrest for about 3 years and in prison for 1. My thoughts: A) Why? Why write this article? B) Cringe. Pure cringe. She's in her 40s and has 8 kids and 6 grandkids. She got a J6 friendship prison tattoo. Ughhh. FFS.

I was tone-policed in a Meta threat about "pregnant person" being changed to "pregnant women," not by one of the transphobes, but by a young, blue-haired "agender fairy" who likes Pokemon and has, "If you’re racist, sexist, queerphobic or ableist, you are not welcome☺️" on their profile. [1/5]

I sent a long text to my brother today saying the things I want to say to our parents. I’m testing the waters. If he’s mad and doesn’t talk to me again that’s OK. I haven’t put nearly as much effort and emotional investment in my relationship with him compared to the one I have with our parents.

Hi, I’m James! I’m a trans man and former special ed aide who has come to the Netherlands for safety. I am working on officially setting up my art business and getting on my feet, but have little money for my visa & cost of living and need as much help as I can get. www.gofundme.com/f/help-james...

if you ask a cis person to imagine what being trans is like, they will immediately go to "what circumstances would make me want to change my gender". "what would I do if my gender didn't match the way I was perceived by everyone" is oversimplifying, sure, but it reliably never even occurs to them.

as a history nerd, here are three books i have read recently/am reading that i have found helpful in processing everything - 'before the deluge' by otto friedrich - 'free to obey: how the nazis invented modern management' by johann chapoutot - 'weimar culture: the outsider as insider' by peter gay
