the assault wasn't recorded by anybody? and we've had witness accounts for days. i'm not talking about whether or not this was premeditated, i'm talking about children beating another child so violently they later died, and i don't need to wait to get pissed about that.
i grew up going to a dinky southern school and while things were bad there, we never had the kind of sustained nationally visible hate campaign these kids are dealing with. i cannot imagine being an out trans kid in a red state school in 2024. my heart breaks for them every single day.
(cw violence) the assault was described as one of the girls bashing Nex's head into the bathroom floor. these children have been brainwashed and indoctrinated by evil people but they are likely close to the age of majority and i have a hard time thinking they didn't know what they were doing.
This weekend I spent more time than I should have talking about Taylor Lorenz. On Assigned this morning, Alyssa Steinsiek is asking people (including me) to refocus on the queer students who are telling their stories about the school Nex Benedict attended before his death.
like at first i thought maybe they'd hit us with a random cancer diagnosis or something off the wall like that, but no, she has a perfectly full head of hair almost exactly the same shade and cut beneath the wig. why? why, Mary?
just finished today, really really really really loved it (i also love all of Mike's work tbh), but i remain mystified at Mary McDonnell's brief wig that's her exact haircut + bangs and is never used to conceal her identity in any way. i hope Mike speaks to this on tumblr...
when transgender dysphoria blues came out i didn't know i was trans but i would drive down the highway to work at my night shift job listening to it and sobbing so hard i should have pulled over and it still took me two years after that to figure myself out lol
omg. i'm so sorry they did... all of that to you, and i assume more. i've been seeing their hateful bile on The Other Site for a couple years now and i'm always so deeply astounded at the sheer depth of evilness from them. the willingness to be so vicious. it's unbelievable.
WHAT. she survived TWO stints in confinement, one of them pseudo-legally at the hands of a grand jury, and i cannot even BEGIN to imagine the kind of damage that did to her. what in the fuck.
literally tell desantis that i have white privilege actually. he doesnβt give a shit! i donβt get punished for peeing at the courthouse i was married in by getting sent to white jail, i would get sent to menβs jail! literally the only ppl who care about my yt privilege are Good Allies on bsky
literally i was saying this in threads weeks ago, the laws that forbid us from state and county jobs, the killing, the rape in menβs prison (now law and state policy in the sunshine state), how every trans person i know irl had their hrt illegalized.
and i was told to check my privilege.
starfield starfield starfield starfield starfield starfield starfield starfield starfield i'm so excited i'm so excited i can't wait please give it to me now please starfield please starfield

go ahead. post another "take." tell me making small talk is ableist. call me an antiblack racist upholding white supremacy for playing baldur's gate 3. pretend hentai girls with dicks aren't trans.
i'm coming out the other end of like 8 months of a bad cooperative living situation (a classic) and watching ppl whitewash & degender/misgender nonwhite trans folks in this situation has been really fucking sickening. horrifying that this is like the go to move.
