i logged on to check notifications and saw the new staff post immediately. hot damn. deeply flawed post but way better than anything else we've seen. and the post i made about trans staff being scared to speak up frankly seems spot on. not to speculate too much, but. yeah.

actually might take a legit break from all social media including tumblr (as if i'm on any other site lol). i think i need some distance from this site w the shit that's happened lately. may or may not come back and keep posting eventually but i just cannot rn

edit: i'm checking tumblr occasionally to look at notifications. please dm me or send an ask off-anon if you want my discord (i made a new account recently).

should clarify: my discord got hacked recently so i made a different account. you might have my old one but not my new one. you can reach out and double check if youd like

this transphobia website fucking sucks. so i tried making a bluesky account. unfortunately bluesky is overwhelming as all hell to me. maybe could sign up for cohost instead but idk

tumblr is The Only social media that i use. ever. aside from arguably reddit but that's in a very specific and limited way. other social medias are too confusing and scary and/or don't have enough privacy for my liking.

um. if youre a mutual or follower or lurker of mine and you want to guarantee that we can stay in contact. please dm me or send an ask off-anon and request my discord handle.

i know comparison is unfair and the thief of joy or whatever but it is kind of shocking to see like. reddit posts where someone's like "i'm 20 years old" and they've posted a screenshot of their bank account with $25k in it. asking what to do with that money. man.

love the trans women in your online, irl, and global community right now, today, before she's humiliated, ostracized, and exiled, before anyone ever raises a hand against her, before any words can break her down, love the trans women in your life out loud and protect her, defend her, speak up for her, but before it all love her and be her friend, her family, her community

every trans woman deserves safety, security, and happiness and the least we can do is everything in our power to make it happen

Just wanted to draw attention to this, but renowned Palestinian musician Ramzi Aburedwan's first record with the Dal'Ouna ensemble, Oyoun Al Kalam has been made digitally available on multiple digital and streaming platforms (spotify, apple music, youtube) !! It's an absolutely beautiful album featuring the voices of Oday Al-Khatib and Noura Madi who were refugee students part of Aburedwan's music school. I cannot overstate how amazing and impactful their singing and vocalization sounds against the beautiful landscape of Aburdewan and Co's instrumentation. I'd also recommend listening to his most acclaimed album Reflections of Palestine while you're at it.

hey um! with KOSA looking more and more closer to passing, email and call your reps to prevent it from passing! bad internet bills is a helpful site with an easy to fill out forum that does not take long to complete stop KOSA is also another good site w/ a prefilled out message you can send (with resources for those not in the U.S. too!), and much like bad internet bills, it has an easy to fill out form that does NOT take long to complete this is very important! because this will effect ALL of us, not just usamericans! this is something that has the power to irreversibly ruin the internet as a whole

On February 7, 2024, an indigenous nonbinary teenager named Nex Benedict was beaten to death in a US high school bathroom.

The news has been spreading across social media over the past few days, with several news outlets misgendering and deadnaming the victim. I have seen a small handful of posts about the entire thing, but only a couple with any sources about what happened.

I spent the morning combing through articles. This is a list of publications reporting on the story that don't deadname Nex:

Pgh Lesbian Correspondents: "Grieving Nex Benedict: the Brutal Killing of 16 Year Old Nonbinary Student in an Oklahoma High School"

The Pride: "Non-Binary Student Dies After Violent Bathroom Fight at Owasso High School in Oklahoma"

The Washington Blade: "Nonbinary Okla. High School Student Dies After Fight"

The Los Angeles Blade: "Oklahoma Non-Binary High Schooler Dies After Physical Alteraction"

LGBTQ Nation: "Teen Beaten to Death in a School Bathroom Bullying Attack. The School Didn't Call an Ambulance."

Freedom Oklahoma: "Rest in Power Nex Benedict"

Indy 100: "Thousands Raised for Non-Binary Teenager Beaten to Death at School"

The Independent: "Oklahoma Banned Trans Students From Bathrooms. Now a Bullied Student is Dead After a Fight."

Daily Dot: "Oklahoma's Top Education Official Called Out Over Libs of TikTok Ties After Non-Binary Student Beaten at School, Dies Later"

Daily Kos: "Libs of TikTok Targeted a District, Then a Non-Binary Student Was Killed on Campus"

Malang Post: "Owasso High School Mourns Pupil's Death After Altercation"

heyyyyy reminder for other cane users.

don't forget that cane tips need to be replaced.

i've been using my cane for almost two years on a near daily basis and i JUST switched out the tip and

[image IDs in alt text]

the new tip versus the old tip. i'm not sure how clear it is but, YEAH, there's like. half a millimeter of tread left on the old tip, if that

the replacement was LITERALLY 2 dollars. i bought two to justify the four dollar shipping but. TWO BUCKS.

i had noticed that i was having slipping issues on linoleum recently, but i did not realize how bad the issue had gotten until the new tips came so. PLEASE check your cane treads and if they're notably worn out PLEASE get yourself a new tip they're SO cheap and the grip i get on the new one is INSANE

please don't forget to replace your cane tips!

Don't pay a single cent to Tumblr, its merch, or the checkmarks. 4 blogs erased in about 48 hours, fuelled by transmisogyny. If you want to read more about it, look up the usernames of the blogs involved and scroll through the posts. There's no shortage of explanations or perspectives from the transfems on tumblr. And tbh I'm worried that more will be deleted for speaking out.
