When I first told somebody they begged me not to say anything because he was their dad. When I got the nerve to tell somebody again I was treated like a burden and wave maker. I didn’t tell anyone again for 23 years. In those 23 years I slapped away a lot of hands reaching out to help me because I didn’t trust they would really want to protect someone like me. *I* didn’t even want to protect someone like me. We need a better system for uplifting survivors.

baby

you ever see a toot on fedi so bad that you had to go and suspend the whole instance

you know in a way spidrrman was the original ‘selfie artist”

can yall please think before you post things like "damn that sexual harassers was always so nice to me" like yeah duh do you think creeps just roll around being mean to everyone 24/7, and how do you think saying that makes the people who were harassed feel

I feel like the meme that “Mastodon is a dating app” probably contributes to the creep stuff that happens here

hilariously, Hulu said something like "for fans of crime." Fan of crime, not crime drama , crime comedy, crime shows, just, crime

So my best friend from high school made a documentary about an Ojibwe tribe that lives in the UP, and I thought I should share the trailer: https://vimeo.com/344217227

It's been accepted to a film festival in Detroit this fall and i've seen the film and i'm really, really proud of him

Could we please separate the dysphoria of “wanting to be a parent” vs “wanting to experience pregnancy and birth.”

One of these things is totally possible for trans women, and one of them is currently not (I hold out hope of a distant future).

And like I find the conflation of the two really disconcerting, and a lot of this has to do with the fact that I AM a mom. I have a kid, and I am one of two moms to that kid. It is totally possible for trans women to be moms, and that can happen in a variety of ways but when people, including trans women, act like it doesn’t count it is SUPER invalidating.

I dunno, this is partially my baggage but I would really appreciate it if we could be more mindful.

Evelyn would like a word with you
