On Transgender Day of Visibility, I think about how often visibility is granted to transgender people but not a voice.
How many newspapers, TV networks, legislative chambers, and more grant trans people "visibility" but no agency.
How our stories are so rarely told by us.

Just once in my life, I'd like a single election where my choices are between no evils.

i suspect that for many of us, the experience of watching a genocide unfurl in real time on our phones all day long, for months—then watching people in power dismiss what we can see—has broken a lot of the social contract for us. no more business as usual, no going back.

Israel isn't relentlessly murderous and abusive because it's run by Jews, it's relentlessly murderous and abusive because that's the only way to maintain an ethnostate that was abruptly dropped on top of an already existing civilization. This would be true if it'd been a Mormon state or a Romani state.
Take any already existing country with its own ethnic and religious makeup and its own relationships with surrounding countries and drop a brand new artificial ethnostate on top of it with a deluge of immigrants who are designated special and above the people in that region, and you're going to get a ton of violence. You're also going to see the dominant group espouse supremacist ideological beliefs to justify why it's fine for them to be placed above the other group and receive better treatment by the state. These things would happen regardless of what those respective ethnic and religious makeups happen to be.
How can we be sure of this? Because we've seen it happen time and time again in other settler-colonialist projects throughout history which had nothing to do with Jews or Muslims.
It's not about Jews and Judaism, it's about the nature and character of the ethnostate which got placed overtop a pre-existing civilization in the 1940s. The religions and ethnicities are interchangeable with pretty much any other in terms of how much violence would be necessary to institute and maintain such a state.

Important point here: While explaining how 21 of its soldiers got killed by the very mines they set to demolish Palestinian buildings, the IDF admitted for the first time they're destroying parts of Gaza for the express purpose of depopulating it.

Officials in Gaza have m said they’re not able to keep track of death count anymore. Some areas have been out of reach. There’s no real functional hospital. Limited to no emergency services. People dead under the rubble.

I could never be John Oliver. If I worked for a company that put up a graphic after my show that said “if you like her, you’ll also like Bill Maher” I would quit and/or explode.
All my fall-y'alls out here loving our pumpkin spice and comfy sweaters, climate change is coming for autumn and it's well past time to activate. 🎃🍂🍁

The issue isn’t just term limits or people refusing to vacate office when they should—
It is specifically these people who’ve been in politics 50+ years,
still trying to dictate the next 50
while the world burns from the policies of their tenures.

We partnered with the ACLU to file this complaint.

Curious about a style guide for journalism about sexworkers? There’s a large lexicon, but here’s just a quick primer I wrote, that covers just the very basics. thewhoresofyore.com/sex-work…
The clear (and the hidden) economic impacts of the hottest month on record — brought to you by three days of research, lots of migraine meds, and a whole lot of sweat. thestreet.com/economy/july-h… #HeatWaves #GlobalBoiling @TheStreet Stay hydrated, babes.
Coming back to pole dance means I’m reminded of the folks who dance and are REALLY eager to separate their pole dance from stripping. You don’t have to like the stripper style, but sex workers of color are the reason we get to enjoy this hobby. (1)
If you’re constantly verbalizing how you want to disassociate your hobby from the strippers who created it, you’re not appreciating pole, you’re appropriating it. You don’t have to “dance slutty” but you need to liberate yourself from that sex shame, k? 💅
