I have a phone interview for something full time. I also got offered a second section for that other job that starts on the 24th and is 7 hours per week per section. Worst case, I get to 14 hours per week. Best case, I get the full time and have to notify that I can't take the sections.

Decades of liberal obsession with "allies" in our oppressor class has always been a Faustian bargain for the most marginalized queer people, such as trans women and impoverished queer people of color. We gain nothing from their self-serving ego stroking. And we have nothing to lose but our chains.

the most performative news article in response to the most performative nothingburger of a tweet thread by someone who can't even be bothered to find a different puzzle game in support of trans people lol allyship is more than just not blacklisting trans people from your TV show!

A friend is sharing my high af ramblings about feminism being neutralized through its absorption into academia as a legitimate discipline with a cis guy friend If this guy ever transitions in the future, I think that will mean I have the power to turn people into eggs

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

Casper is a movie about how feet do not persist into the afterlife

For the past five months the only refugees the USA has accepted are white South Africans fleeing equality & safety meanwhile they are disappearing or strapping ankle monitors on any Haitian they can get ahold of. It needs to be understood how thoroughly connected these two things are.

I have learned that apparently a lot of coffee shop AU stories involve the characters working in the coffee shop? I always just kinda assumed that if the concept was to provide a cozy AU, participating in capitalism didn’t fall under that and it would just be about characters hanging out in a cafe

is this the post that got gwen suspended? @moderation.bsky.app you fucking cowards

I’m reaching a point where I feel so much shame and exhaustion just from the thought of having to put up another “please send me money” post. Please send me $142 so I can reserve the last two nights at this place before I have to move. Or something. I don’t know. I can’t keep this up.😭😞

The further I get into my transition, the more I think how right I was 14 years ago to find it odd how much academic feminism seemed to have refocused to be primarily concerned with men and masculinity (usually cis men’s, occasionally trans men’s, more rarely cis women’s). As if the work of lifting

hey @kenjennings.bsky.social good job, asshole. You turned a teachable moment into a tasteless joke, then turned the backlash from the joke into a performative puff piece. I hope I get suspended, too, you fake ally fuck

Well, it appears that, sometime in the last 17 hours, Gwen Pepperoni was suspended for the crime of pointing out Ken Jennings' transphobia.

Next set of goals are Second Half of August Rent by the 16th General Bills and existing in society. Moxie Yearly Check up for Prescription Food. Currently really just need like $5 to get out of the red. V:@/JKNotSoBad C:$:/JKNotsobad PP:@/comfortingmoo Everything helps. and gets a moxie picture.

Thank you all. First half of Rent paid and huge Flex Loan I took out last month to make everything work got repaid. Unfortunately, I am now at -.04 in my bank account. I COULD just turn around and take that Loan back out, I don't want to because then in a month Im scrambling again. CAPITALISM!

Between this and Sloane Elisabeth's suspension, seems another purge of the trans is underway.

Speaking of subverting T&S, weaponisation of reporting, and getting transgender people suspended, In the past 14 hours, sometime, @gwenpepperoni.bsky.social got suspended by BSky moderation No doubt because of a deluge of reports

I feel like if you’re still talking about bipartisanship with republicans, you’ve failed to learn the lesson the Democratic Party should have learned by 2010 (at the latest) and you cannot be trusted to fight the real fight. A real shame, that. I used to think she had potential.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

Halfway through ripping all the hair out of my legs. Snack and then return to process

i'm sorry but this article is completely contorting the initial narrative and i'm so frustrated - why are we carrying water for a cis man who made a trans woman's life shitty for a day.

this issue at hand isn't whether or not Jennings is a transphobe in his heart, it's that he decided to take time out of his day to respond to polite criticism from a trans woman with a much smaller platform than him with a shitty joke that subsequently blasted her so far as to get global coverage

The ‘Jeopardy!’ host made it absolutely clear where he stands once again.

it is genuinely embarrassing to see this article written by a trans woman. my sister in gender no matter how many boots you lick They Will Not Pick You. have a fucking spine please.

Liberal "allies" of the trans community: If you're wondering why trans people are so upset with ostensible "allies" like @kenjennings.bsky.social posting about New York Times products like NYT Games, understand that the NYTimes has & is actively trying to destroy trans lives! Pls Read this thread 💁🏼‍♀️
