What if I trans fanart'd every cis / questioning person in government?

This is a really bad idea. It's a terrible, harmful, risky af idea.

But I might fucking do it. CUNTS, I MIGHT DO IT.

many of us are already into repairing what we have, not only to save money, but because we care about what we own. many more people are interested in repairing what they have, but don't really know where to start. i really enjoyed this mini-doc on repair in japan. it highlights many different kinds of tinkerers and artisans, from electronics to umbrellas to kintsugi: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/shows/2032329/ if you're new to repairing things, there are an overwhelming number of places to start, and it will appear impossible on your first go. i've been taking apart things since i was 3 years old, and can safely say: you will break more than you fix, and eventually learn how to fix what you break! but the real joy is in the learning process of understanding how it all works. #japan #nhk #repair #solarpunk

There is no "genius", only learning to love learning and doing, and having access to do so. The problem is that we teach children to loathe education and self-embetterment in all sorts of ways. And for adults, few are given opportunities or encouragement to be able to explore thoughtfully and contribute. Few people can grow into themselves. We don't teach people to "learn to learn" enough, or to feel that they can love learning, or to give people a chance to *do things*.

Hey. Hey you. If you're reading this, especially in the US, you need to know this, it's important: Take a deep breath. If you're doomscrolling, stop for a sec. Are you thirsty? Fed? Tired? Stinky in a way you don't like? What can you do to care for yourself right now? Go do it, we'll still be here when you get back. 💜 You still live and breathe. You still have friends. You still have support regardless if it's as much as you need. Easy does it.

Know that your eyes do need oxygen too.
If you've recently had eye surgery for laser refractive / vision correction, cataract removal, or glaucoma whatevers, you may need to delay.

Idk: I'm not a doctor. I'm definitely not YOUR doctor. Keep an eye out for properly sealing goggles. Sunglasses probably still better than nothing.

You're not completely on your own here. Other people in similar situations are trying to make reasonable inferences too.

Intersex people! Sex differences exist and have been known for centuries. Probably millennia, tbh.

Some intersex people are trans. Some intersex people are cis. Some intersex people are non-binary.

Support Ryan in their legal case for the UK Government to stop assigning genders to people who aren't into it! Let us correct the gd paperwork already.

Yes, I'm kink-shaming policy right now! Treat people like people, gdi.
It's nice to just exist as an individual person.

I'll wander around, do daily tasks, or fill forms that affirm my right to live life -- wildly enough! -- left tf alone.
I don't think a train company really gives a crap if I wear a dress or a cravat.
Just... having a grand old time, existing in a way that is apparently queer: 'as an human'. That's it.

I don't think marketing teams shit themselves over an 'X', 'I', or 'U' outside the two letters you were told to assume were possible.
Oh yeah, and intersex people exist too. Some are cis.

(-- wait the who what now?)

@MxVerda @diffrentcolours There's a Tufton Street, London address where a lot of far right ops funded by America are based. Anyone getting money or exposure via there is off the Decent Human Being list for life.

@djm62 @MxVerda Most notably the Taxpayers Alliance, also others. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/55_Tufton_Street for a list.

It's basically a shared office space. Was quite dull when I visited back in the 00s.

I'm trans? I really am trans! 😻

(I still think there's a difference between the meanings of trans and non-binary though. Lots of overlap, and like two polarised lenses off-angle, but if unhappy cis people are after any of us, they're after all of us.)

I'm not trying to show off or anything. I just really suck at being subtle or hiding myself.

I used to joke in school that I was a russian spy from finland but then uhh... It became not very absurd or funny anymore.
No offense intended to anyone from or affiliated with either country! I just picked two places I knew no one from because "lol so random".

Tempted to go through what I want and all associated paperwork to get a GRC and file for it anyway.

(Non-binarity is not legally acknowledged in the UK because unhappy cis people.)

It can't literally all be torture, toppling foreign governments, murder, and sabotaging pinkos.

We all deserve Bed and Bread. We all climb the mountain in our own way. We all NEED to climb the mountain in our own way.

You can do Direct Action.
You can do peaceful protest.

You can do Harm Mitigation.
You can do Back-casting, public outreach, brainstorming, infographics, video explainers, persuasive essays, and more.

Be more you. Whoever you are is beautiful. Whoever you are deserves a future like anyone else.

You didn't put the mountain there, but our shared goal is at the top. Help other people up.
