When I am down and having a hard time coping I have a playlist I repeat. I'll share some songs on the list, link them, and explain what I get from these songs.

Share yours.

If just one person finds brightness or is lifted, it's worth it.


Current race: Which will happen first? The end of the album or the start of work?

I keep reading/hearing how the Dems/Left have to come up with better responses and ways to deal with the attacks. But (almost) none of them involve actually supporting trans people.

Who needs Nostradamus when we had Martin Niemöller?

Finn got ahold of Red Snek today. He didn't kill it but came close. Electrical tape will hold Red Snek together until I can get a new headset. *sigh*

On this Day of Remembrance

Stop and think before you make that "tranny" joke. Stop and think before you point and stare. Stop and think before uttering that rude comment to a friend. These are people just trying to fit their square peg in society's round hole. They are human like you and deserve the common courtesy of a kind word or a smile. Their life could have very tough times that can be eased with kindness. And maybe, just maybe, that smile could save a life.

For the foreseeable future, Reps Nancy Mace and Marjorie Taylor Greene, are going to do all they can to harass Sarah McBride. Including repeatedly using her deadname in statements and podcast/radio appearances.

If you're sensitive, avert your eyes.

What cunts!

While Day of Remembrance is officially about those we've lost through direct violence, I choose to expand it.

We lose many more Trans people (and other groups) to indirect violence - suicide. Those who choose this option aren't doing so because the world is all sunshine and flowers. Their world and hope has been whittled away until they see no other option but to sleep forever.

Forced micro-dosing of hate & violence can kill you as easily as an asshole with a gun.

Day of Remembrance (TDOR)

350 trans and gender diverse people were reported murdered between 1 October 2023 and 30 September 2024

94% of the reported murders were femicides, i.e the victims were trans women or transfeminine people.

93% of the reported murders were of Black or Brown trans people, a 14% increase from last year

Cases in the United States increased (2024: 41; 2023: 31).

Some older television shows do not hold up. Or they were better in your memory than reality.
