Fiercely defending the Resistance from my couch. Data geek with pulmonary disease. Chaotic tired, runs on Dunkin. She/her. My kids don't think I'm funny but they're wrong.

I mean, I also literally posted HEY CIS PEOPLE IN BOSTON, TRANS YOUTH NEED IN-PERSON SUPPORT, PLEASE SHOW UP two days in a row & no one did, so. We were fine, btw; the assholes in town for the blowhard conference didn’t find us. I wish it didn’t feel like you need more martyrs before it’s real.

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

My foster daughter was an ICU nurse in 2020. The text messages I have from her from that time are indescribable. She only called when we could both cry uncontrollably. I would like for this man not to be allowed to say to the world that these things never happened. That is not a lot to ask.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

HEY BOSTON TOMORROW SUN 8/2, 3pm 1 Ashburton Pl (near State House) Cis folks, I don’t know how else to say it: if our actions keep consisting only of us, we’re not going to make it. If you’re worried you won’t belong, don’t be. If you say you’re an ally to trans kids, it’s exactly where you belong.

Image with green chalkboard-like background and pink text reads:

"Family and friends invite you to

CHALK OUT FOR TRANS KIDS
Sunday August 2nd 3pm
1 Ashburton Place Boston MA

PROTECT TRANS KIDS' RIGHT TO HEALTHCARE
ART SUPPLIES AND SNACKS PROVIDED"

The image also includes a trans symbol in a chalk heart and a piece of sidewalk chalk, along with pink stars throughout.

they want an answer? here ya go: you are the worst for implying that's an opinion that reflects reality. here is what you sound like: "i'm pro-choice but i believe women should stop using abortion as their primary method of birth control." "i support the immigrants who don't murder american kids."

i think this is the fourth account i have seen in the last 24 hours posting this question in same pleading bullshit way so we should be paying closer attention

I am finally getting my young trans teen the “Nice gender, did your mommy pick it out for you?” shirt they have coveted for ages (with the caveat that we will need to agree when & where it can be worn). When I first showed them a picture of it they spun in circles with glee.

Share your trans joy so that others know it's possible.

Thread re: new school policies for trans kids in the UK. Very hard for me to read. Remember that in 2020, not a single US state banned GAC for youth. We're up to 27 now. Half the country. The UK has fallen & we're falling fast. Cis ppl click like and repost sadly as we pass them on the way down.

Cal Horton (they/them)@fiercemum.bsky.social · 3w ago

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2

I don't get the "free the immigrants and replace them with the politicians" thing. I don't want anyone in those detention facilities. I think people underestimate the power of public shunning. Not harassment, just "nope, you have lost the privilege of participation."

Maine Governor Janet Mills tried to visit a memorial site for the man killed by an ICE agent. Protesters chased her away. - The Boston Globe

“Get away! Get away!” protesters shouted at Mills as they followed her back to her car.

1. Fire all employees on week 1 of a Democratic administration. Everyone. No exceptions. 2. Start now to pull together state-based ICE People's Assemblies. Collect testimonies about impacts on your communities. Release reports by December 2028. 3. REPARATIONS for all ICE victims - $$ & citizenship

I’m interested in any political imagination for accountability. It has to be proactive & retroactive. It has to be spectacular. And, ideally, it would leave so many of them broke that it actually becomes a deterrent. Being poor is truly all they care about not because they don’t care about prison.

For anyone under the non-binary/genderfluid/genderqueer umbrella (basically anyone not totes male or female, regardless of cis or trans), please consider taking the 13th (!) annual Gender Census survey. There’s a great, straightforward page re: data protection; I linked it in the next post.

Gender Census@gendercensus.bsky.social · 3w ago

The 13th annual international Gender Census 2026 is now open until at least 13th August 2026! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy. #LGBTQ

In the two days since an ICE officer shot and killed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford Monday morning, the federal government has offered a series of shifting and contradictory explanations, fueling demands that Maine authorities, not federal agencies, lead the investigation into his death

Shifting rationales for Biddeford killing prompt calls for serious state investigation of ICE - Maine Beacon

In the two days since an ICE officer shot and killed 26-year-old Colombian national Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford Monday morning, the federal government has offered a series of shifting ...

The 26 yr old father from Colombia that ICE murdered today in Biddeford, Maine was named Joan Sebastian Guerrero. YO-ahn Sebasti-AHN. My voice shakes when I say it alone at home but I wrote it out to maybe make it easier for more of you to scream in the face of the architects of his death.

To my trans friends, today we've outlived a fascist who spent his miserable existence making sure we wouldn't see another day. Hes gone, we are not. So fight on because our existence and our joy IS resistance

1. It doesn’t argue that. (Or, rather, it changes its argument several times.) 2. They could have said bimodal and we could have all been at a bbq. 3. Saying “biological sex is binary” in 2026 is like saying “support the troops” in 2003. It’s a phrase that upholds a specific harmful narrative.

In a new #Viewpoint we argue that the binary definition of #BiologicalSex based on gamete size is a scientifically robust framework that is entirely compatible with the diversity of sexual phenotypes and human gender identities. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
