Whelp, and they fired me. So um…guess my ptsd was right in the money.

Also, probably going to be bringing my patreon back online and going to be getting back into writing full time if folks want to support

Huh. I wonder how sighted people like it.

If you get it, boost it.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic

Again, Black people of all genders experience ungendering independent of being trans or not

And this ungendering (thanks chattel slavery) has everything to do with how the gender binary is shaped and understood

Black women can never fully be women in the antiblack world we live in because Black people aren't seen as human and only humans have genders

Where Black peoples gender ends is where nonblack people's gender begins

When I went back to school to finish my undergrad, I took an English creative writing class. I took something I might like although I had to fill some requirement of my degree. We were studying sonnets and this one was one we looked at.

I love it. It reminds me of you beautiful, wonderful friends of mine who live in my phone.

Sonnet 29:
By William Shakespeare

When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
(Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

You know, Francis advocated for the death of trans folks. Called 'gender ideology' an abomination and everything.

So with everyone wringing their hands over the demise of someone who mostly looks good next to Palpatine and whoever the RCC's gonna stuff the big mitre onto next, I'd like to remind everyone that if the Pontiff 'embodied Christly ways', as so many biopics are intent on saying, then I don't think too much of your god.

Ding dong, you fucks. Let's see the Vatican get hit by a meteorite next, please.

So much reporting about how Pope Francis created a shift in the Church's perspective on LGBTQ issues. I hate that, LGBT isn't just a word that can fit in every situation. He didn't support trans people, the Vatican released a whole report about how it was bad and they were against gender-affirming care. When you use an inclusive acronym without considering if the situation would accurately be described that way you're erasing the people who were targeted.
I wonder if there's any value of international allies helping trans people in the UK by asking their local representatives to provide updated travel advice for trans people when visiting the UK as their human rights are no longer protected.

What Labour _should_ be saying is ā€œwe are grateful to the Supreme Court for highlighting the ambiguity of the current law, and we will be bringing forward emergency legislation to resolve the issue as soon as is practicable. It has always been this Government’s position that trans women are women and trans men are menā€.

Instead we get this weasel nonsense…
