Hi! So our eSims are keeping a whole hospital going in Gaza, and countless of students who are studying for exams right now. Our funds are about to run out because the usage of those eSims are especially high. <3 #ConnectingGaza

Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)
I was one of the millions of ppl to become disabled from a c0vid infection. But unlike many others, I also dealt with years of medical racism, resulting in me losing my ability to walk, talk, sit up, and more. It’s still very hard for me to talk about. Full video up on my YT now.

Hammam needs more support from us - both financially & in our continued resistance to the genocide of his people. Let’s not ignore the power we have to fight for him. chuffed.org/project/1490...
Help me reach a safe place and rise again.

This is not a criticism of either work as such. But it speaks to an unwillingness by mainstream cis audiences to engage with trans art that is open about being trans art.
...it is notable that neither of the two examples of trans characters by trans authors that have gained the most mainstream traction in recent years ever get to come out. They are defined by the closet.
I love I Saw The TV Glow and I thought TADC was okay and I am *not* arguing that subtext is bad or that closeted characters who never fully come out should never be written, *but*...
One day I'll collect my thoughts about how despite how much gore and blood American horror movies can have, they're still too pussy shit to add cum or bile or anything that acknowledges the human body's functions beyond being meat

For my birthday I would like to give you the opportunity to be better than the DWP. Being disabled with zero income fucking sucks!
Friz Frizzle@frizfrizzle.bsky.social · 2mo agoIt is my birthday tomorrow! My eyes are shit and I have had a shit year with ailments and fighting the DWP. I gig less because of this, and everything is expensive because of the blindness/shit hands. For my birthday, I would like money to survive another year of this. Help me make it to 40 easier.
Espressing fury that the millions of people a politician hurt might be happy they died is, whether they want to admit it to themselves or not, a function of the British establishment's absolutely immovable, implacable ideological belief that only some people are real.
I AM ALWAYS SAYING THAT BRITISH WOMEN HAD TO FIGHT TO GET THE RIGHT TO USE PUBLIC BATHROOMS AT ALL DURING THE VICTORIAN ERA BC MALE ONLY URINALS FORCED WOMEN TO STAY AT HOME MORE FREQUENTLY AND SO FEMALE ONLY BATHROOMS WERE THE COMPROMISE BC OF VICTORIAN MORALITY
Apkallu@terajimapk.bsky.social · 2mo agoWomen weren't allowed on "men's universities" or "men's x or y". I'll be omega radical here and say that separate restrooms, too, are unnecessary. Many places have unissez bathrooms. Like, do those people have any idea they're bringing back something feminists died to end?
well, fuck, it happened. 12 years ago I was excited about self-driving cars and a friend of mine said "you know they'll just drive people to jail, right?" So I wrote a story called One Star and sold it to Vice. www.vice.com/en/article/o...

Really don’t prefer to share this again but despite working as many gigs as i could land in June, i’m still $600 short of what i need to cover the rent that’s due and i have just a few days left. Any help you can give or leads on gigs and jobs (remote or in NYC) are greatly appreciated.
feminism is when i'm comfortable
I think for a lot of people "feminism" just means that "women" and "yucky" can't touch

the thing is they do not in fact think trans women are male super predators because if they did they would give trans women seats on the supreme court
