There's a lot of hopelessness among trans people right now. This election was and is existential for us.

I want to reach out to all the people out there who are struggling tonight and tell my story.

I was 12 when I first realized I was trans. It was 1999 in rural Louisiana...

I studied 5 opening lines from bestselling novels to determine how these authors manage to captivate readers from the very first words of the story.

Here are their opening line techniques & why they're so powerful: 🧵

We’re devastated to hear of the death of
Dame Maggie Smith, whose career has spanned the theatrical, film and television world without equal. 💔

Her relationship with the National Theatre began in its very first season in 1963, working alongside Laurence Olivier at the Old Vic.

When VP Harris said people walked out of his rallies early because his act had become boring, you could just see something in him snap.

🚨 Imane Khelif

Put some respect on her name!

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

Tim Walz shows American men, especially white men, that a better vision of manhood and masculinity exists which is far more loving, successful, decent and appealing than the toxic bravado and cruelty of Trump and MAGA.

RIP Gena Rowlands (1930-2024)

Gena Rowlands' performance in John Cassavetes' "A Woman Under the Influence" (1974) is one of the greatest of all time.

Long live her fame!

[Holte 🇪🇺 @holte]

Bristol, Brighton, Walthamstow, Liverpool... People are on the streets taking their country back

Taking it back from the far right, the facisist, the racist, the agitators, the rioters, the hate, the division

Hope will always beat hate

We are many, they are few..

[Women Posting W's @womenpostingws]

Imane Khelif wins her semifinals match and advances to the Olympic finals with a message for everyone: "Refrain from bullying" ❤️

“I send a message to all the people of the world to uphold the Olympic principles and the Olympic Charter, to refrain from bullying all athletes, because this has effects, massive effects. It can destroy people, it can kill people’s thoughts, spirit and mind. It can divide people. And because of that, I ask them to refrain from bullying.”

Tim Walz signed a bill making Minnesota a sanctuary state for transgender people, as well as safeguarding gender affirming care. His nomination sends a powerful signal to the trans community at a moment of unprecedented attacks. https://t.co/86Bd7f68cO
