Does anyone have like a show with a decent representation of a trans man in it?

Because i feel like I've either a) Never seen one. b) its been censored

[youre-where-i-wanna-go]

I grit my teeth and read the entire executive order regarding trans people, and I just want to take the opportunity to remind folks not to forget intersex people. One of the rescinded documents is “Supporting Intersex Students: A Resource for Students, Families, and Educators," and there is a huge emphasis on legally enshrining "only two sexes."

Yes, this affects trans people, but with the way intersex voices often get ignored in trans spaces, I just want to remind folks not to shut us out. Don't forget us. Don't keep talking over us. Don't act like we aren't on the front lines. Don't act like this is just about you. Please.

fun thing about herding and/or generally neurotic breeds: they are really good at following rules you have instituted, but they will also make their own Dog Rules they will follow stringently whether or not you like it

scientists are still scrambling to figure out what “zigazig ahh” is so that they can give the spice girls what they really really want

the spice girls are getting impatient

support ALL fat women, not just the ones with hourglass figures and smooth skin. support fat women with apron bellies, with small boobs, with flat butts, with visible rolls, with arm flaps, with thick necks, with no jawline, with “multiple” chins. support fat women with big shoulders, fat women who’s waists don’t go in, who have stretch marks on their armpits and arms and stomach, not just on their chest and thighs or butts or “attractive” places.

support disabled fat women. support fat women of color. support fat trans women. support fat women when they wear crop tops and low rise jeans and bikinis and support fat women when they wear hijab and abayas. support fat women who are advocates and support fat women who are just trying to live their lives in peace

not just the women you’re attracted to. not just the ones you find “palatable”, not just the ones who are “thick”. all of us.

Trump getting inaugurated on MLK Jr. Day is a hate crime. I don't care what anyone says.

What good things are you going to do this week? 1/21/25

Bringing back my "what good things did you do this week" posts from a while back as a way to make/motivate myself do good/activist work despite (and specifically in spite of) these shitty times. And because at least some other people seemed to like it when I was doing them!

I'm going to try to make these posts once weekly on the weekends. If you don't want to see them, filter "doing good things roundup"

Things I'm committing to doing this week:

Start relearning Spanish so that I can help volunteer with Spanish-speaking communities (esp/ideally with any anti-deportation work) (already started this one!)

Volunteer this morning to help distribute breakfast to unhoused communities in my area (just signed up at the wonderful site LA Works, which lists hundreds of volunteer opportunities in LA)

Talk to my roommates about getting a compost bin for our place

Request a new green bin from the city (our old one broke rip)

Volunteer at a pet rescue (I've been trying to do this weekly, as of last week)

Find at least one organization doing fire relief to sign up to help (I'm in LA, but haven't done this yet, and I'm changing that)

Make more good news posts on here

Add your own stuff you've done or are committing to do, so we can all inspire each other and give each other ideas and be reminded that, everywhere, people are trying to help

Already seeing people on tiktok saying “I still hate trump but he ate with this one” like … babes … you just got propagandized … that’s literally exactly what he created this situation in the hopes you would say …

Stop missing the forest for the trees.

We live in societies that have core systemic issues (e.g. white supremacy). With those core systemic issues come symptoms of varying severities (lack of representation in x y z sector of white supremacist capitalism). You do not treat the symptoms to fix the problem (integrate into x y z sector of white supremacist capitalism). The problem is still there.

The Gladiator movie wouldn't have been less of a Hollywood capitalist cash grab if the Palestinian-Egyptian actress hadn't been removed from it. Her exclusion from it was - as a symptom - indicative of a larger ongoing Hollywood zionist propaganda and censorship trend by zionism and american imperialism - the core systemic issues.

I'm using this as an example but it literally applies to quite literally everything in our societies and I don't have the energy to get into the specifics of many other such cases. Buying from Palestinian authors, businesses, etc... is not going to stop the Nakba. I'm not saying don't do it, but don't mistakenly believe that partaking in consumer capitalism is going to help Palestinian liberation in any way. You can't buy your way through to liberation. Palestinians don't aspire to be consumed by Westerners.

The less palatable and consumable Arabs and Palestinians are to the Western eye and the American mind, the better. And I've already explained this and stated this - this is the reason the Palestinian liberation movement cannot be co-opted. Because we are not looking to be integrated into Western capitalism we are looking to overthrow it and destroy the boot it's holding on our necks. The success of our movement, our muqawameh, lives and dies in the hands of that muqawameh, that armed resistance.

In line with what MLK Jr. said, I don't want to fucking integrate into a burning house. My aspirations for liberation are not in line with American capitalist goals - they are contrary to them. You need to understand this in your core conceptualization of third world liberation.
