Transness is full of so much shape shifting. People can lose recognition of you, the amount you change face and change interaction, always searching for a way to overcome all the terrible innards of societal trauma.

I was just talking to someone yesterday about how I love beaches in the UK that are quite obviously part of the natural coastline and not a transplanted sand castle with transplanted ecologies and organisms.

But this is something even more....is this a closer look at the future of an island that
As much as half of some British beaches’ coarse sediments may consist of human-made materials such as brick, concrete, glass and industrial waste.

Waste dumping and climate breakdown have contributed to rise in brick, concrete and glass on beaches

Noam chomsky is in the epstein files. Immediately, "how could this happen", "oh my god I'm so disappointed", "we don't get anything", "heartbroken".

Really?? Why was this white man on such a high pedestal in apparently "liberational" spaces.

People calling for matriarchies but can't even decentre patriarchy, heteronormative standards of body, beauty and identity, listen to black + brown trans people, centre disabled folks / needs or even seek to understand struggles that make you uncomfortable or break down your individualised comfort.

Impact the same as last week’s for these twenty-one families: your support has supported hospital care, pharmacy costs, housing, nutrition, winter clothes, and other survival needs.

Pretty simple. Keep it going, and hit "weekly" to sustain it:

Be bold and be sure that you will attract joy aswell as pain, because whilst liberal softness pretends to promise a kind reality, radical boldness promises you will feel again.

Material hope.

I wrote it in response to an accusation. Of myself. By myself. Of hopelessness. Which I reckon with as we all do, because truly hopelessness is allowed. But it should sit beside action and aid, not disrupt and affect those things.

open.substack.com/pub/jasminei...
Hope is Material. And it is grown underground.
Where have I travelled in search of duty, whilst I hold a hopelessness that should never be allowed to touch that duty. What can the bug, the soil and the act of aid teach us of this duty and holding.

When you dissappear from the plane of family, fortune and root that held you previous, and you grow in a different direction altogether...there's an aura of silence around you. No one tells you what to look towards. There is no pushing or pulling.

Ok so bc of the crushing weight of the world [honestly life is so touch and go atm] I did actually miss the deadline for the article I wrote [the one that broke my writers block finally], so it won't be published where it was going to go originally, but I'm going to publish it on my substack instead

GUYS. I DID IT. AFTER MONTHS AND MONTHS AND MONTHS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO WRITE ANYTHING I FINALLY FINISHED ONE OF THE ARTICLES IVE HAD DUE IN FOR SO LONG. THIS IS HONESTLY FUCKING INCREDIBLE.

Excited for you to read. Perhaps comeback isn't too far off. Got a different flavour to my thinking now...

The possibility of pain is more powerful than the actuality of it in the western project and the other imperial projects. We live in a state of constant fear as to when, where and how we are watched, and then theorising ways we could be attacked or incarcerated...

"We, the people of the US, do not condone the actions of the gov, and we are against their actions...."
MEANS NOTHING.
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
IF you don't divest. If you don't dismantle the structures that you use every day that rely on state money gained from the toxic exploitation of resource.

I would love to learn to embroid...embroider...do embroidery??? anyway, I'd love to learn so I can sew my favourite Palestinian insects into my keffiya...I can sew a bit for repairs but it would be so lovely to be able to make little worlds on cloth like that and alchemize my clothes 🐛

MPs aren't going to save the future, but we can dig our heels in to save vulnerable folks, whilst working on the ground to make sure there are spaces to shift into as the system that should crumble is dismantled.

Part of "decolonising" charity work is understanding that "aid" can't stand on its own. There must be sovereignty of resource and land that is achieved for the folks who have had their worlds destroyed, and this must be worked towards alongside a charity format structured around community, mutual
