Maybe we need to address the trans sports bans as blatantly sexist instead of just transphobic. The argument is literally "boys are better at sports!!!" Which is super sexist.

Fighting with fascists online is fun sometimes. They called me delusional. I asked if they knew what projection was. They called me a degenerate and blocked me. Feels kinda nice, actually

It's interesting because if you're used to families where the center of activity is the kitchen, this is pretty much what that means. You have the folks who are cooking and then the ones who are socializing/keeping the cooks company. Usually, those people are tasked with cleanup and preparing the table, providing drinks for the cook, and stirring the gravy so they can rest or socialize themselves. The kitchen is where the party gets started!
We see socializing around food prep at American barbecues and seafood boils, too. It's kind of a long-standing human tradition to socialize around meals and food prep. Our celebrations even have food and cooking as a central part of them! Cooking is not just a solo art; it's integral to human connection. This is like a smaller, modern version of this beautiful thing that humans have done forever!
We're sharing the traditions of our ancestors in these simple acts. Cooking together as a common thread of connection throughout our history. It's really beautiful and profound to me.
no for real like sit over there and drink your little beverage and stay tf out of the way let me cook
#cooking#connection#human behavior#its just so damn cool how humans continue being humans in these ways despite the changes through modernity#we are the same as our ancestors who cooked over open flames and danced and told stories of the stars#humans are so beautiful in so many ways#cooking and eating alone as a norm is so new and so sad and speaks to how much we've lost through this ideal of individualism#doing these things alone speaks so much to how disconnected we have become from each other#full-time jobs and the push for productivity have made us lose so many of the things that we need to be happy and healthy#capitalism has deeply hurt us as a species

#stone butch blues#leslie feinberg#when people talk about the supposed privilege of trans men im reminded of this passage#how passing and being stealth means erasing your history#and how we have to erase ourselves from our own lives for the sake of safety#when you pass as a man you become a man with no history#and when we try to talk about our experiences and history we are pushed aside

Privilege describes how someone is treated in society. A person cannot have privilege OVER another person. A person can have MORE privilege than another person, but that does not mean they hold power over that person.
POWER describes our ability to control, dominate, and influence. A person can have POWER over someone, but not privilege.
#these words are not the same stop acting like theyre synonyms!#privilege includes opportunities available to someone; consequences they do or dont face; who listens to them;discrimination they experience#lets use the example of a white cishet man. He has privilege in that he doesnt face systemic discrimination#he is more likely to get higher paying jobs; he is less likely to face harsh consequences; he is more likely to be listened to#this doesnt mean he has power. just that society generally treats him a certain way which makes him more likely to hit the jackpot#and privilege can result in people existing in a bubble where they dont believe the world is different for others#but none of this means someone has power over people. just that they face fewer systemic roadblocks. thats it.

Phenomenon I call social pillow prince/princess: people who regularly don't reach out or reply and expect the relationship to survive
#do people expect me to text them every day or something? i dont have that in me#i have tried to communicate with friends through text and shit and so few actually reply#and so few of them ever text me first anyway#like. not sustainable. i dont know what socializing looks like anymore i guess#or what it takes to keep a friendship alive in this modern age#why do these people not talk to me?

Literally this plan covers NO prescriptions. none. I paid like $170 for my meds at my last pickup. And the plan covers maybe 50% of provider visit costs which are between $200-400. I've had like. 2 appointments this year. The plan itself is $250/month. So for what I pay in health insurance for 3 months, I could have entirely covered all of my allergy appointments and medications. One month of insurance payments would have covered my psych appointment. Another month would have covered my visits to the clinic with the flu. Rage.
My employer health insurance costs more than my Healthcare would without insurance. I'm just paying twice for Healthcare at this point.

#ive paid 1750 for insurance so far this year#and i owe 755 in medical bills still#BUT if i didnt have insurance my medical bills on their own would be 1725.#so im basically paying an EXTRA $700 because i have insurance#oh and i had to pay for my meds out of pocket too#because this plan that costs me $250 per month covers absolutely nothing#i feel like im paying the mob not to break my legs#like what the absolute fuck#and even though i take home like 2400 per month i still dont qualify for state or subsidized healthcare#i really miss my medicaid#which i pay taxes for btw so i should be able to use it like. we are all actually paying for medicaid and we're not allowed to use it.#because this country hates it when people are...healthy? jfc#universal healthcare#usa healthcare is shit insurance is a scam

There's a particular kind of hurt when you're slowly pushed out of the lives of a family you've known and loved your whole life. Like, this family essentially filled the role of cousins for me.
We lived so far away from our extended family that I didn't have that growing up, really. I dont know what happened. I was best friends with the oldest daughter for 25 years and over the past 5 years I haven't heard much from her at all. The middle daughter invited my whole family to her wedding except for me. I never hear about what's going on with them except from my mother because they still go to my parents house nearly every weekend but my friend never tells me when she's in town.
My BROTHER got invited to the wedding, even. I never even got a text asking if I was going. I didn't find out he was going until yesterday. When they were planning this wedding it was "family only" but now my whole family is going (except me) and they even invited some of my parents neighbors.
I can't think of an explanation for it that doesn't cut deep.
3 years ago I had a huge falling out with a mutual friend of mine and the oldest daughter's. After I started medical transition, this friend started treating me really strangely and getting hostile. When I started dating my partner they tried to break us up, accused him of trying to cheat on me--which was blatantly false (I even had a conversation with him about it laying out boundaries and expectations. The "our relationship is exclusive" conversation). Then this friend spread awful rumors about me and my partner.
I can't help but wonder if that mess has something to do with it. Or if it's because I'm queer. I dont know. It just hurts.
Idk. I was there when their father died. I fed them. I waited with them while the cops and coroner arrived. I called friends to help out.
What happened?
#personal#i asked my friend via text but im anxious about what she'll say#because i need answers but i dont think theres one that will make things better between us

HEY GUYS
Who wants to help ruin Trump's birthday?
Yup you heard that right. On June 14, Trump is planning on having a pretty big military parade to be all like "I'm such a powerful king" and in response there's going to be HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of protests against his regime telling him to sit his ass back down.
The link below has more information and a map of currently planned protests. There's options in every single state. Even if you can't go, share this information, and consider reaching out to organizers of local protests to see if they need any logistical help. Chances are, they'll appreciate it.
