Drug and alcohol free since June 26th, 2026. So far, 3 week(s), 0 months, 0 years have elapsed since my last intoxicating substance.

I hadn't been doing drugs before then, but I'd been drinking. Usually just getting buzzed, but I started to have at least 4 drinks a day due to... emotional reasons.

Then, the night of the 25th, I got drunk after something really emotional hit me. Shouldn't have hit me that hard, but it did. I had 8 drinks in relatively rapid succession to try and deal with the emotional pain.

Problem? Had to give Louie his evening walk. So... I took my cash out of my wallet and hid it, so nobody would get any cash from me if someone mugged me while I was unable to defend myself, and walked Louie.

Nobody mugged me. I was fine. But I worried someone I really care about, someone who really cares about me... who I hope may one day care about me again in the way they did. Either way, I worried them, and they mean the world to me.

I need to get my life in order. She made me promise to never do what I did again. I decided to go further. I initially promised to abstain entirely for a month. Then, all of July. That would be simpler to remember, make it a deeper commitment.

But then I decided... no. That's not enough. For the foreseeable future, I will abstain. For a period of years. How many? I don't know. But I said the foreseeable future, I said years, I said I may go back on it someday, BUT, not until years, plural, have passed. So, at minimum, I will not drink again until June 26th, 2028, nor imbibe any other intoxicating substances.

I will not cause her to worry for me again like I did that night. I will spend or save my money more wisely. I will work on becoming a better man... even if it hurts sometimes, even if sometimes I want to numb the pain. I must suffer through it if I want to get past it... and hopefully, before too long, I'll get the life I want to live.

Until then, this post will be pinned. I will update it each week, hopefully, but certainly every month, to document my commitment.

I need to be worthy.

It's just The Bargain as it appears in the imperial core. Just like First They Came by Martin Niemöller. "Let it happen, and you won't be next." And most of the time, it's more or less true. Life goes on, for you. You eat today and sleep tonight and get offered The Bargain again tomorrow.

And then one day, it's such a surprise when you're next. No matter who you are, there's only so much time you can buy with the lives of your fellow peons. Sooner or later, you're next.

Transgender woman faces two felony charges after drawing a firearm during an altercation.

A Wyoming transgender woman is facing two felony charges after drawing a firearm during an altercation she says began with anti-LGBTQ+ and a

Ríhanna Kelver, a bartender and trans rights advocate in Laramie, has been charged with aggravated assault and possession of a deadly weapon with unlawful intent after a 13 September 2025 confrontation outside the Crowbar & Grill, whereshe worked. Kelver could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison if convicted on both charges.

Kelver says one man in a group of men across the street from her started shouting homophobic and transphobic insults at her before the man allegedly shoved her to the ground in a downtown crosswalk, as reported by The Laramie Reporter.

[el-shab-hussein]

There's more, as it pertains to Black trans people's right to self-defence:

Despite Wyoming’s “Stand Your Ground” statute, which allows people to use reasonable force in moments of self defense, Kelver faces up to 15 years in prison for both charges, as well as up to $11,000 in fines, per Cowboy State Daily. Kelver faces an additional year and $1,000 fine for a charge of interference with a peace officer. [...]

As pointed out by Slate, self-defense laws are often put into question when people from marginalized communities, especially trans people, use them, including Cece McDonald, a Black trans woman who served time in a men’s prison for defending her friends during a racist and transphobic attack. Ky Peterson, a Black trans man from Georgia, was also arrested and imprisoned for killing his rapist in self-defense.

[resiliencebeast]

I wrote a short explanatory piece on how gun control (in the USA, specifically) has always been a tool of oppressors against marginalized folks. You can find it on Tumblr here. Kelver needs assistance with her legal fees fighting these charges. Her crowdfunding sites keep being removed so here's her Venmo:

Please help her.

In September, a man pushed a trans woman to the ground in downtown Laramie. Antifascists identified him as a member of Patriot Front.

When Scott Durham pushed Ríhanna Kelver to the ground, she drew a gun in response. Kelver, a trans woman now facing two felony charges, said

Hope you don't mind me adding to this, i live in laramie and ive known ríhanna personally for several years and this incident has been so difficult for her, and additionally the attack exacerbated health issues for her.

a local reporter posted this article this morning that delves into her attacker's affiliation with the fascist patriot front org and the fact that since he moved to laramie in 2023 there has been a significant uptick in hateful activity and propaganda being spread throughout the town. this man was prevented from walking at his high school graduation by his own admission due to his racist, queerphobic, and antisemetic behavior.

one of the things that has been infuriating to me is that her attacker is not the one pressing charges. not the literal man she pulled a gun on, it is the police who are threatening her with 15 years in prison.

please help ríhanna if you can, she doesn't deserve this and it is depicting the increasing danger for trans women and other queer people in this city and state as a whole.

jk Rowling needs to be tried in a court and have her assets seized and searched and her wealth confiscated and redistributed while shes on the way to prison

[catsnuggler]

Actually, I think part of the punishment should be having her chained, on her knees, and forced to watch as her wealth is confiscated and redistributed right before her very eyes, all while she verbally protests but is able to do nothing to stop it.

“If you deny any affinity with another person or kind of person, if you declare it to be wholly different from yourself—as men have done to women, and class has done to class, and nation has done to nation—you may hate it, or deify it, but in either case you have denied its spiritual equality, and its human reality. You have made it into a thing, to which the only possible relationship is a power relationship. And thus you have fatally impoverished your own reality.” Ursula K. Le Guin "American SF and The Other" in Science-Fiction Studies 7, 1975.

I didn’t know fondue was a thing outside USA—stupid but i thought it was like, fake cheese that we would melt to dip tiny weenies in. Looked it up and found out it’s Swiss—so probably more people than I realized enjoy it! I would love to try a fondue of local cheese, but that’s not easy to come by where i live. Enjoy yours!

I'm sorry but I am so morally disoriented by the concept of 'fake cheese' that I have trouble focusing on any other aspect of your message. What is fake cheese?? You say that like it's a perfectly understandable and emotionally neutral combination of words. I feel like I've just been handed a koan.

Then you add the phrase “tiny weenies" like it's the logical next step rather than a new psychological event. From my (very French) perspective the sentence "fake cheese to dip tiny weenies in" sounds like such a unique cultural artefact in itself, like a linguistic diorama to be displayed in a vitrine. This is not meant as a negative judgment of you or your country! just my earnest ethnographic confusion as I try to grapple with the concept of "tiny weenies" from a place of "fake cheese" trauma...

I had no idea fondue was seen this way in the US—I thought we (as a species) had a collective working definition of it, a sort of global consensus like the commutative property of addition, so the idea that in some corners of the world "fondue" means “fake cheese to dip tiny weenies in” has made me remember that you can just flay language off reality like skin. There's also a non-zero chance for this phrase to have activated a sleeper agent in Lausanne and authorised targeted elimination under the Académie Française’s emergency powers.

The concept of fondue now feels violently theoretical but I wish you many delicious ones in the future though :) You have politely disintegrated a couple of foundational concepts I'd never realised I relied on, which is always enriching. I won't recover, but thank you for sending this!

[closet-keys]

I don't know how to address this properly because I feel like every time I write about it I get the same misunderstandings from every direction.

the thing happening right now (at the very least in the US and UK) is that trans youth are actively and systemically losing access to healthcare. this has been gradually escalating since the start of the pandemic, and more young people lose healthcare every single year.

when I talk about this I tend to get two responses

"why do trans adults want to expand these experimental treatments to children who can't consent"

"providers offering care to trans adults is a step in the right direction, even if they aren't offering it to trans youth. the perfect is the enemy of the good. we can't fight our allies."

do you see how both the overtly transphobic version and the nominally "pro-trans" version replicate the same misinformation?

this is not a question of "should we expand access to trans youth?" trans youth have had access to medical transition care for a long time. what is happening is the care they already had access to is being made inaccessible and then criminalized systematically.

am I making sense? places refusing to offer care to trans youth are not "a step in the right direction" because that implies that the trend is expanding access that "begins" with trans adults and innately will gradually encompass young people. that is not the case. this is not a hypothetical thing that we can all have different theoretical opinions on. what is happening is the systematic revoking of healthcare.

the further this progresses, the more healthcare is restricted for more demographics. that's how this works. healthcare is being restricted across the board as part of the broader eugenics project. abortion is being restricted. vaccines are becoming more expensive. insurance companies are denying more treatments to disabled people. anti-fatness is surging. ableism is surging. there are active campaigns to get people to mistrust the very idea of healthcare in favor of "wellness" grifts. no one wears N-95 masks. this is the trend. it's been the trend.

I don't know how to communicate that we are not at an early step in a progressive trajectory, we are mid-stage in a eugenic order. please understand what I'm saying.

Help our daughter not pee blood for her birthday?

Last post got long

We've been struggling to get our basic needs covered, we have no water, our daughter got her hair mutilated by her grandpa, we had to flee to a hotel 2 times during last month because he's been a danger for us, i lost my healthcare and im still in the paperwork to get it back and a couple days ago our trans daughter started peeing blood, is in pain and has shown signs of infection.

She already got checked by a Dr but he recommended an urologist very urgently. She already underwent surgery last year, there is a chance it was badly done or a new issue.

So, can we get help for her? Her birthday will be soon

We need $125 for the appointment with a trans friendly urologist, then we will have a diagnosis.

We were able to pay rent and fill our water tank, we hope the shortage ends and we don't have to get bottled water daily. We'll keep you posted.

I've been offering spanish conversation classes online, just taking time off until I can make sure my father-in-law won't sabotage those with his shouting.

A friend and mutual is offering commissions to help us if you're interested.

Also check our throne, we have some urgent lists of needs for our chronic pain/illnesses if someone can help us with that too.

THIS IS URGENT PLEASE!!!!

[chingaderita]

UPDATE JULY 10TH

Finally got the prescriptions scanned, forgot the 3rd one with the labs but this should be better than nothing, we debated a lot on how much information should be censored so i hope you understand we covered all we thought could put our daughter in danger.

We could agree on sharing the uncensored one through dm´s but only to trusted mutuals so they can corroborate its legit, we need to get her the surgery as urgently as possible cause the pain from the balanitis is hindering her ability to go to the bathroom or even just exist.

of course they are in spanish tho, we voted against translating them for accuracy´s sake.

The total cost of surgery through the only trans friendly clinic we could find goes over $52,000 pesos, which is over $3,100 usd, not even taking into account if she needs to stay overnight under their care.

She wouldn't have to go through another surgery if the previous dr had identified the symptoms better, we cant put her through another transphobic clinic, she was miserable and shouldn´t have gone through all that.

If it helps at all it's going to be her birthday on July 14, it would be great if she didn't have to be in pain and going to the bathroom meant a crying session and a constant infection.

We also had hoped the phones would have arrived by now but we got an email saying there was a problem but we hope to get a positive reply by july 11th, we´ll keep you posted.

so yeah, we need so much help not even considering that grandpa is still a danger, we will need food by saturday and i hurt myself handwashing the clothes we needed most urgently.

help please

$230/$3,500

Please, anything helps!!!! 🙇

so I looked up the article to make sure it wasn’t taken out of context and it’s even better than I could’ve thought:

Holland said this allowed him to “lay down the law” on the “Spider-Man” set “and say, ‘We are not going to come to set and figure it out. We need to know why we are making this movie beyond the fact that it’s ‘Spider-Man 4’ and they make loads of money and we’re going to just have a big summer. Why are we making this movie?’ And Destin was super instrumental in that, but it was just really great to constantly be calling up the studio and [producers] Amy [Pascal] and Rachel [O’Connor], who I love, and be like, ‘Well, Chris is doing it this way. This is how I think we should be doing it.’ ”

Apparently Sony allowed Holland to postpone Spider-Man production due to how reliable Christopher Nolan is to actually wrapping up on time. Holland said this ended up beneficial because it allowed them to hire Destin Daniel Cretton (director of Shang-Chi) and give him a proper six months for further script development.

Holland also says The Odyssey was “the best experience I’ve had on the film set,” and that “I feel like I have a new perspective on where I want to exist in Hollywood.”
