I wrote a new book and there’s a moon on the cover!! Signed and unsigned copies are available for pre-sale TODAY. I have never in my career made something more inline with my heart and my hopes for our world. Thank you so very much for being here! https://t.co/EYXftDQhNi

To the chandelier
of your faith hanging
by a thread. To everyday
you can not get out of bed.
To the bullseye of your wrist.
To anyone who has ever
wanted to die:

I’ve even told
one of the most healing
things to do is to remember—
other people feel this too.

[Andrea Gibson @andreagibson]

Lost my temper.

Saw it in the lost
and found box
and took it home.

Know I’ll need it
again someday.

Daunte Wright’s killing was not a random, disconnected “accident” - it was the repeated outcome of an indefensible system that grants impunity for state violence, rewards it w/ endlessly growing budgets at the cost of community investment, & targets those who question that order.

When I came out as trans, I thought bigotry would look like angry men hurling slurs. That doesn’t happen much. Mainly, bigotry looks like educated, credentialed people smugly asserting that they feel my pain but consider my life so undesirable that nobody should live or see it.

"My brother died from depression. He also frequently exercised, had supportive friends/family, was successful in school and in work. He had goals that he was constantly reaching—he still killed himself. People who are depressed are not weak minded—they are sick. Understand this."

0 Republicans voted for the $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill.

278 Republicans voted for Trump’s $1.9 trillion tax cut for corporations and the rich.

This tells you everything you need to know about the GOP.

Everyone’s
survival
looks a little bit
like death
sometimes.

I want to make something clear: Biden bombing foreign countries isn’t wrong because he’s spending money on wars instead of giving stimulus checks to Americans. It’s wrong because bombing foreign countries is wrong.

We walk through
graveyards with chisels
correcting the names
of trans youth
whose parents said no
when they said,
“Can you just let me live?"

Ted Cruz tweeting a glowing tribute to Rush Limbaugh from a resort in Cancun (where he flew tonight while his constituents are literally freezing to death) is peak @GOP.

You may not know that you know a survivor, but it’s highly likely that you do.

Survivors of trauma are close to you. They are people you love & you may not know.

Many decide whether their story is safe with someone by how they respond to other survivors.

Don’t push them away.

Trans folks and allies 🏳️‍⚧️ I made a nurse-approved guide full of recommendations on supplies for top surgery recovery. It got lots of love on FB and IG, so I'm sharing it here for folks who aren't on those platforms. Hope it helps! 💻 Link: https://t.co/hhf0aJt2P6 #trans #LGBTQ
