Reminder that Xiran Jay Zhao exposed Cait Corran's awful shit, so it's not a surprise they would be a target for other racists

Another day, another white author on my shit list

I don't know who Leigh Dragoon is, but on X, she has a #trans flag in her profile, so can any of our trans siblings who know her tell her to STFU with this racist shit?

If she's a cis ally, she can fuck right off

is there something in the DSM for “physically cannot bear to witness a penalty shootout and must either leave the room or turn off the tv until it’s over” ?

A tech who I see regularly at the hospital had one her dogs stolen out of her backyard and one of her other dogs was badly injured in the process. I cannot imagine. Human beings can be utter garbage sometimes. Literally stealing someone's joy like that.

At wound care today it looked like one of my tumors is growing again which is really not great and probably why my body's acting like there's an infection. Hopefully today's immunotherapy infusion will slow it down and I see the surgeon next week. I can't have this surgery soon enough. #cancer ♿

OK, I tried A Natural History of Dragons and it's an def DNF for me. Didn't get far. Call me a hater but the whole vibe of yearning for the days when upper class white people were the assumed pinnacle of civilization and knowledge was a nope for me. 💙📚

Yeah if the language is changed on one device, it changes it on every device. What's annoying with Disney is they don't make it easy or even possible on all their different apps for various devices so sometimes you have to change it back on whatever device the change was first made

Trust me, people saying the bigots ought to care about gays dying of AIDS because "who's going to plan your wedding???" didn't make much a difference. Reducing our value to what we can produce for our oppressors' pleasure and comfort will never convince them of our humanity.

Queers have always gravitated to creative fields precisely because cishet culture do not make room for us. So we literally have to create those spaces. We have had to create our own language, vocabulary, symbolism. Art is queer. Music is queer. Fashion is queer. Literature is queer. It is OURS.

I'm old enough to remember people making this same argument during the AIDS crisis, so let me explain something: Cishet culture already assumes what we create is for them to consume. What cishet culture won't acknowledge is why we need to create. That's what we need to be pushing in their faces1/2
