Needed a loan last week to cover hotel, so need $740 for hotel by Sunday and $500 ASAP to pay back loan in case I need to retake one.

Can NOT survive the streets at all. Please help me spread word! Anything helps!

Could I get as many friends sharing the above post as possible? I keep running later and later, closer and closer to the absolute end of my survivability. I'm scared as heck and need a LOT of ongoing help.

I used to never picture the future, because I never thought I would live to see it. I worked so hard, for years, on loving myself in order to see a future where I could exist.
I can't express how painful it is to have that taken away again due to rising fascism.
I don't picture the future anymore, because I don't know if I'll live to see it. I don't know what it will look like. There's simply an empty void, approaching closer each and every day.
And I try to function in spite of it.
I don't consider myself particularly brave, but I've been focusing on what I can control. On what I can do. And the one piece of solid ground in the future is that I'll be fighting, to protect the vulnerable. And to protect myself.
At least now I know I'm worth fighting for.

@HJoyceGender Hello! Actual ballet dancer/teacher/director here and I would like to briefly discuss all the ways this tweet is ignorant, misleading, and wrong. 1/
@HJoyceGender First of all, a number of dance forms, from certain ritual and folk dances to a few modern dance styles, are based on improvisation rather than codified technique, and the movement itself is not necessarily dictated by gender roles even if the culture is. +
@HJoyceGender Secondly, in a number of dance forms, performance roles are gendered but that doesn't necessarily mean the technique itself is. Even in ballet, there is a large overlap between men's and women's vocabulary, and in smaller schools it's common for boys and girls to train together.+

Chiseling out some aggressively trans-positive space on the timeline because let's face it, it's brutal out there right now.
And we cannot smile and hug each other and self-affirm our way out of brutal oppression and erasure and being used as a bludgeon by homophobic misogynists who claim to be standing up for Women And Gays by using us to launder all their bigotries.

But we still need love and hope.
I would say we deserve love and hope, but that's not even a question. Love isn't something that is deserved or not. We don't "deserve" it any more than we "deserve" rights or existence. We exist, therefore we are imbued with rights. We exist, therefore we love and are loved.

I've been teasing this for a while as I worked out the details, but... my new Kickstarter is live! I'm raising money to release a second physical collection of my short stories. Read the details here.

kickstarter.com/projects/alexa…
My previous collection was fully funded in under two days, so this time I'm being a little more ambitious. More elaborate cover, international shipping.
I'm using Backerkit to handle some aspects of fulfillment, including shipping charges. This means your shipping cost is not included in your pledge, but it also means it will be more accurate and not restricted to the United States.

This story has two tragedies, one of which we're not talking about.
1) contaminated produce sickening and potentially killing consumers
2) the produce becomes contaminated because farmers are under no obligation to give their workers sanitary facilities or breaks to use them
If we protected farm workers, none of this shit (pardon the pun) would happen. But we don't care, because they're poor and brown, and we're willing to risk our own health to keep fucking them over.

Something a little different today.

Trans & Non-Binary folks.

What do u want to say to cis people?

It can be venting your frustrations, some advice on how to help u all, helpful hints on how to support u better etc... anything u like.

I'll block any transphobes, so have it.
Any "NotAllCis" will get a block too so if you're cis and you are feeling particularly fragile, just scroll on by this thread.
Chasers, pervy fucking cis dude just here with dicks hanging out trying to hit on people... comment on this thread or to anyone participating with your bullshit and you're getting a block.

Have some fucking respect.

The politics of disgust unite seemingly-disparate political philosophies and not knowing that is misleading people. Like how some people can't see how SWERFs, TERFs, and fascists are uniting because of their shared politics of disgust.
First off, the politics of disgust is politics based on actual disgust. Nazis are where I learned about it, and they are the classical example. They are very concerned that no one think or do or *be* anything that disgusts them and unite with others with similar disgusts.
The shared disgust against excluded groups defines the in-group that they create to counter and remove the source (ie, people) of their disgust. The in-group is usually an ahistorical use of a group term and a site of important myth-making to their politics (eg, "Aryan" to Nazis)

I need a cis lesbian rant. This one is about London Pride.

Ok. Terfs are going to claim it's their right to wave their transphobic horse shit banners because "lesbian erasure". WRONG.

Picture this:
1) Terf Lesbians waving banners "Get the B out!" cuz Bisexuals give lesbians a bad rep!!

2) Gay men waving banners "Get the B out!" cuz Bisexuals give lesbians a bad rep!!

3) Bisexuals waving banners "Get the B out!" cuz we ALL erase their identities pretty fucking often.
There's no chance in hell that this shit gets allowed during OUR PRIDE because its a load of bullshit!! So if this shit doesn't fly, why the hell should we allow terfs to pull this crap on our trans siblings??? The answer is WE DO NOT ALLOW IT.

Dear rich people. We have to talk.

If your gross income is under $100k a year skip this thread. If it's $100k or over (INCLUDING MONEY FROM FAMILY), even if you don't think so, you're rich.
Even if you think you can barely make ends meet or "can't afford to" give money to the poor, you're wrong. People in your city make do with less than half of what you have and they are likely more generous than you are.
Not to be too moralistic on you all, but if you are hoarding money or spending money it on luxuries, you are part of the problem. Even if you hate Tr*mp and love @AOC and think gentrification is awful, you are part of the problem. WE are part of the problem.

two weeks ago someone zapped a single spot on my face with a laser. sure enough, that spot is hairless now

I would very much like the rest of my face to be hairless too. I need $1130. can anyone help? please? #TransCrowdFund paypal.me/teutholimax
should I use an actual crowdfunding site for this? it seems silly to give another website a cut, but seeing that progress bar fill up really seems to motivate people
but you know what? I can make my own progress bar

$0 <β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘β–‘> $1130

This is not an isolated incident. Trans people who've had their names and gender markers legally changed on all of their documentation for years are suddenly being refused passports or being told that their current passports are invalid. This keeps happening. Please listen to us.
