@ReginaPhil65976 it is a common occurrence, but it’s not *normal*. we know it’s insane. there’s not a lot we can do short of a general strike, and our working class is not close enough to class consciousness for that rn 🫠
Maybe because the world has spent the past 5 years asking “why is everyone sick right now?” instead of acknowledging the ongoing airborne pandemic that destroys immune systems or something idk
Being fat isn’t immoral and mistreating people who are fat under the guise of “caring about their health” is complete bullshit. You don’t care about a strangers health, you just want a socially acceptable target to bully so you can feel good about yourself
@DaddyBaggs you’re inadvertently proving her point. the dominant paradigm alienates her in multiple ways. transphobia/transmisogyny (“people treat you as a man pretending to be a woman”) and ableism intersect. both oppressions act to remove one’s agency over their own life and identity
I just called my Senators using https://t.co/1Z1joNYo6u to tell them to vote NO on S.9, the so-called Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025. this bill rolls back Title IX protections + targets trans kids. call before their vote at 2:30 pm PST/5:30 pm EST
@Jeopardamy thank you for being you, Amy. your run was legendary and meant so much to so many people, myself included. I’m so sorry that this is particularly shitty time for trans people. know that you are loved and supported by a huge amount of people 💜

@gayest_tone I've been saying for a while that there needs to be a "happy medium" in science communication for the public. most people are not going to read an academic paper instead of a news article, and many people won't dig further than said article. is there anything like this out there?
@AriDrennen I thought it was because of those full-body TSA scanners. they allegedly calibrate it for “boobs vs not” but like…make a better scanner setting. or just don’t make people go through post-Patriot Act bs. there have to be better security measures in place in other countries
@dieworkwear derek, as a short person—his jeans were too long, right? I feel like he could have done something cool with his shoes if he had a shorter inseam. am I way off-base? I do not purport to be fashionable 🙂↔️
