I'm not okay. Took a mental health day to do my part and make some art about it. No matter the opposition, we won't be erased. A world without trans people has never existed, and it never will! 🏳️‍⚧️

May this piece be a small light in the darkness for those in need of comfort and hope. Feel free to share/re-post elsewhere if this resonates with you. Just please make sure you include the alt text!

Girl, do NOT let that 19th century soldier try to fool you with weaponized incompetence. Yes he DOES know how to cook and clean, that's like half of his job!! Girl he has a sewing kit with him to make basic repairs to his clothes, I don't care if he calls it a "hussif." He has like five different types of clothes brushes and knows how to neatly pack everything he owns.

to me, there's an innate horror in tradwife content. it's always a pretty young girl in her late teens, early 20s. she's so young. she's basically a baby herself. maybe she's about your age. you just watch it happen. you can't save her.

either way, she always has at least three kids, sometimes more. you don't want to ask when she had them, but she had to have them young because her youngest had to have been born when she was at least seventeen based on how time works. you just watch it happen. you can't save her.

she's smiling but there's something missing in her eyes - a spark that should be there. there's no passion, there's just the movements of the day. sometimes she'll give an interview where she says she barely feels like getting out of bed, and other times she says nothing. you just watch it happen. you can't save her.

her world isn't real - it's neat kitchens and made from scratch cheese. she tells you how she doesn't need feminism because she likes this life, she likes wearing pretty dresses, don't you dare pity her. you just watch it happen. you can't save her.

you scroll up to an ex tradewife in her forties talking about how her husband divorced her and left her for a younger girl, leaving her destitute and penniless and twenty years out of the workforce. you scroll again to a pretty young girl saying she doesn't need a job, her husband will take care of her. you scroll again. you just watch it happen. you can't save her.

another woman, this time in her early thirties, talking about how she just managed to leave her abusive husband and has nothing and he took the kids, warning and pleading young girls to not fall for tradwife lies. you scroll again to a young tradwife girl saying that would never happen to her, and you're just jealous of her. you just watch it happen. you can't save her.

you scroll again. a teen girl tells you that she'll just track her period, she doesn't NEED a toxic chemical like birth control. you scroll again to an obgyn pleading with young girls to understand birth control is just hormonal, and that period tracking isn't effective. you just watch happen. you can't save her.

you scroll again, and it's jd vance saying how women belong in the homes and shouldn't be allowed to vote. that their husbands should decide how they should vote. you scroll again to a domestic abuse counselor telling women their vote is private and they can lie to their husbands. you just watch it happen. you can't save her.

she doesn't want you to save her. how dare you pity her. you just watch it happen. you can't save her. a horrible feeling washes over you. you just watch it happen.

my hot fandom opinion is that ppl shouldn't really show actors erotic fanart featuring the actor's likeness unless those actor(s) have asked to see it. I genuinely think it's weird that some fans just spring erotic fanart on actors without their consent and that's before you consider how often these interactions are filmed for clout. It's not that I think ppl shouldn't make fanart I fucking love fanart. I just think more fans need to be considerate of whether actors who are complete strangers to you want to see erotic imagery of themselves with little to no warning or consent to see those images at all. and it's kinda weird to me how many people think the discomfort those interactions cause is funny....

The NYT has finally put out an article about Elon Musk taking over the American government and I encourage you to read the whole thing, but I need to highlight this:

“At one point, Mr. Musk sought to sleep over in the White House residence. He sought and was granted an office in the West Wing but told people that it was too small.”

I just need to hand it to whichever writer is responsible for “sleep over.” They could’ve said “spend the night” and avoided connotations of puerile besties, but they didn’t. And I applaud that.

“National teacher shortage” is a fun way of saying that the USA has made a passion driven job so ungodly inhospitable that even people who “just care about teaching, not the money” don’t even care about teaching anymore.
