how to be okay when I see my deadname

sapphic-giraffic

real talk tho, i actually have a strategy for this. it was my wife’s idea. the key is to change your default association with the name. that way, instead of automatically thinking of it as your deadname, you think of it as something else’s name, ideally something you like.

what I did was start a new game on Pokémon Omega Ruby and give my starter, mudkip, my deadname. after many hours of play time, whenever i hear or see my deadname, i think of my beloved mudkip, now grown into a handsome, strong swampert.

if pokémon isn’t ur thing, i think the same strategy could be adapted to a pet or a stuffed animal. just a thought.

‘People Are Greedy’: The Absurd Electric Bills Slamming Texans

Texans should file a class action suit against ERCOT, all the power companies, the governor & every member of their state House & Senate. All of them should pay these astronomical electric/gas bills.

DON’T PUNISH THE VICTIMS. PUNISH THE PERPETRATORS.

Thank god this isn’t twitter so I can say I unequivocally support murdering the people responsible. Don’t worry they probably weren’t smart enough to give cops lower rates no one will stop you.

Look at the absolute evilness

When I first saw this going around my dash I skimmed through it and thought people were having problems because they were using too much power as a result of the weather (to heat the house, keep the pipes from freezing and so on). Now I read they’re using minimal power but somehow the fucking law of supply and demand applies to electricity??? It isn’t a public utility, subjected to caps and regulatory price control? And no one is at least signing an executive order (like the governor or something) prohibiting the electric companies from increasing prices? There’s capitalism and there’s whatever the US practices.

For those who have trouble reading that:

Imagine being a black, gay drag queen in the 1800s after being born into enslavement AND having the style and cachè to throw soirées that the girls had to come to! That’s why I don’t want to hear this “we’re not our ancestors stuff.” You’re right!

From The Very Black Project Page- William Dorsey Swann was a gay liberation activist. Born into slavery in 1858, he was the first person in the United States to lead a queer resistance group and the first known person to self-identify as a “queen of drag”. Imagine the queenery of this icon.

He was a slave in Hancock, Maryland and was freed by Union soldiers after the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect. During the 1880s and 1890s, he organized a series of balls in Washington, D.C. He called himself the “queen of drag”. Most of the attendees his gatherings were men who were former slaves, and were gathering to dance in their satin and silk dresses. William was arrested in police raids numerous times,including in the first documented case of arrests for female impersonation in the United States, on April 12, 1888. In 1896, he was falsely convicted and sentenced to 10 months in jail for “keeping a disorderly house” (running a brothel). After his sentencing, he requested a pardon from President Grover Cleveland. This request was denied, but but he was the first American on record who pursued legal and political action to defend the LGBTQ community’s right to gather.

He was known to have been close with Pierce Lafayette and Felix Hall, two men who had also both been slaves and who formed the first known male same-sex relationship between enslaved Americans.

When William stopped organizing and participating in drag events, his brother continued to make costumes for the drag community. Two of his brothers had also been active participants in his drag balls.

Imagine how intelligent and ambitious this man had to be to come up with drag balls in the 1800s! Imagine how many terrible concepts he had to unlearn by himself to be a confident gay black man who does drag in the 1800s! Imagine how courageous he had to be to fight for lgbt people as a former slave in America in the 1800s!

William Dorsey Swann is the original queen, the original drag mother, the original activist. Tell his story!

The voice was so spot on it took me seconds to realize what he said.

If you're celebrating Biden's win, consider celebrating by donating to a bail fund, planned parenthood, or the Navajo Water project.

Your action to help the marginalized shouldnt end at presidential candidates and voting.
