going on testosterone doesn't make you a man if you don't want to be one. going on estrogen doesn't make you a woman if you don't want to be one. "hormones = gender" isn't any better when it's being said to nonbinary+genderqueer people who chose their hormones. if your attempts to defend binary trans people lead you to fuck over abinary trans people your attempts suck ass

absolutely criminal how falling into bad habits is the easiest thing in the world while developing positive habits feels like fighting a literal war

drives me up a wall living in a very very red district, like “no democrat is ever going to win any local election, let alone a real leftist” district, like “our school board members ran on who was the most anti-mask” red, like “I pass white supremacist signs on the way to buy weed” red

and being in the local leftist community and the guy who runs the anarchist book club and the lady who helps keep the warming shelters open and the people who marched on city hall when a local business was getting death threats for having a drag show are all members of a discord and we get on this discord and have frank discussions about how best to vote

the people who do the protests and the mutual aid and all the real work

going “okay, they’re both fascists, but this one lacks ambition and seems happy to just glide in the position” or “they both suck, but this one can be reasoned with if you frame it patriotically enough” like we don’t even have a democrat to vote for. we know what a vote is. we know what we hope accomplish with it. we know what it can do, and we know what it can’t.

and going from those discussions to here where people think that your vote is some kind of fucking??? enabling maneuver??? as if someone isn’t going to end up in that seat regardless of what you do???

we didn’t build this system, we just live in it. we’re just trying to survive. a vote isn’t a statement of your values, it’s not an endorsement, it’s not a marriage contract, it’s a strategic play you make to keep alive.

the biggest mistake I see leftists making is overestimating their own popularity. “well but everyone would be leftist if they just-“ no, stop, 1) you can’t possibly know that 2) everyone will not just

the fact that the last two films I gave ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to on letterboxed are produced by A24 makes me think I need to pay a lot more attention to what they have coming up
