I never post over here, but I’m screaming into the void out of sheer desperation. My 15yo cat is extremely sick & I don’t know if he’s going to pull through. I desperately miss my husband and my mom. I can’t stand the idea of losing the cat. (1/3)

abusive treatment by medical professionals is already a huge problem for marginalized people, especially trans people and trans kids. this is going to make it so so much worse because abusive doctors are going to know for a fact that the supreme court of the united states has their backs

Teen Vogue eliminated all their Black and trans staff today.
It's resegregation in real time.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.
Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

Does anyone know of a small shop that has hummingbird stained glass? I’ve looked on Etsy, but most of it feels mass produced and I don’t want that. Thanks!

FYI: if you are in one of the outer rings of grief, you do not get to expect those in the inner rings to manage your grief or comfort you. Get grief counseling or something and leave me alone.

Started and stopped this a few times. Mostly lurk around these parts, but sharing anyway b/c I need to get it out. My Mom died suddenly yesterday. I am heartbroken and hurting so much both for me and my teen. It’s just not fair that they’ve lost 2 of their most important people before 18.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?
Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

My downstairs neighbor is trying to shove a fully inflated air mattress into the back of his hatchback.
And now we all understand how he almost burned down the apartment building a while back.
