I may not have understood the words, but I totally understand the dynamic.

For my dear friends here & IRL and especially the deeply talented gender non-conforming folk in our Onlea.org company. Today and all days, together,

@nursefrombirth

I've seen similar programs in Italy before. Typically, you need to prove that you have the funds to renovate the property, and may need to prove you have the income or funds to live there.

But it's definitely intriguing.

Today is and my thoughts immediately go to our CoSo friend Mouses. She was loved by many of us here, as she shared her life and brightness with us all.

We love and miss you Mouses. 💜

Because there's no algorithms, it's really hard to monetize your presence here. Not that we don't support the endeavors of people here, but it requires actual engagement and it's just not going to be at a level where people can make a living from it.
Folks who rely on their social media to generate income give up on CoSo quickly. Though I keep hoping some will just hang out because they value the interactions.

@Graci

I absolutely consider suicide due to lack of acceptance and outright bigotry to be a form of murder.

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.

Except for hating the Republican ass clowns that are our domestic terrorist enemies.

Some of those AI recipes are even deadly... most are just boring.

Today is Transgender Rememberance Day. Hug your family and friends, let them know they are loved and supported and deserve a place in the world.

@Queasy @grayman

Gender is a big part of how societies structure themselves, including social power. People who make that seem less absolute challenge folks on a fundamental level that feels threatening.

@nursefrombirth

At best, they'll pick one nominee to sacrifice. But I mostly see Republicans rubberstamping them. I thought Gaetz would be that one, but we'll see.

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).

Yeah, they're already being vicious. And we know MTG can be really persistent with her bullying.
