It's wild to me that I used to write articles & have 30 tweet long threads & ppl just threw random bits of $$$ at me to say shit that isn't controversial like "Life Coaches are Kool-Aiding White Women & We Should Be Worried About It" & they called it anarchy
now every once in a while I come back like an aged grandpa to see shit like "UR CANCELLED BC MAYBE UR NEIGHBORS DON'T HAVE BOWLS" and "BE GAY DO CRIMES IS ONLY FOR HORNY CRIMES ACTUALLY"
& I'm like "ah. mmm. we should have burned this place down ages ago"

It's all "be gay, do crime" until it's a trans woman performing actual meaningful resistance to hegemony, then the tenderqueers start wringing their hands and finding reasons to dissociate from her.
The worst thing about trans healthcare is when I need a therapist.
I’ve already had both gender reaffirming surgeries that I wanted. I don’t need anybody’s written permission for any more.
But if I’m looking for a therapist, I still need to find one that is trans friendly. 🧵
And other trans people NEED those services. They need access to gender affirming surgeries, and those require a mental health professional signing off—sometimes 2.
That makes it hard to justify eating up a therapist’s time with my depression bullshit.
“When this paper struggled, all of us had to share in its austerity,” said Hannah-Jones. “When this paper is doing well, the people who work hard every day to make this place a global phenomenon deserve to share in success.”

Much of the public's attention on the @NYTimesGuild strike has focused on its journalists.
I spent today talking to low-wage concierges, security guards & IT workers on strike - fellow Guild members - who stand to gain the most from the union's demands. https://t.co/J348Dq3Vwl
I was held and loved as a child by arms tattooed at Auschwitz, and if I ever hear one word of denialism from anyone they'll be on a scavenger hunt for their teeth for the rest of their life
