Hi. I'm a 22 year old unemployed autistic trans woman stuck in an emotionally abusive home. I've been applying for jobs for several months, but have been unsuccessful finding work. I live in a small town outside of Philadelphia, I'm socially isolated in this area and my only friends are online. I...
Please share my fundraiser! Iād really appreciate it. Thank you!

Donate to the anti-fascists/anti-racists who put their lives on the line to stand up against white supremacy.
Support our troops! Donate to the Anti-Fascists who stood up to the KKK in Anaheim!
Donate to the anti-fascists/anti-racists who put their lives on the line to stand up against white supremacy.
On February 27, a courageous group of anti-fascists gathered to counter protest the KKK rally in Anaheim, CA. When the pigs came, they ended up targeting and arresting the counter protesters, many of them Black and Brown people, and not the racists who instigated the confrontation/violence in the first place. Not surprising.
The anti-fascist comrades who got arrested are in urgent need of some real solidarity! Thatās why we need to raise BIG MONEY for them. Your donations will go towards any medical or legal costs associated with their injuries and arrests from that day.
Copwatch Santa Ana and the Los Angeles Anarchist Black Cross will work together with other local anti-fascist/anti-racist groups to divide the money appropriately to the arrestees.
All donations, however big or small, are greatly appreciated.
Local folks are also organizing benefit shows and other actions to support the arrestees. Check out āCopwatch Santa Anaā on Facebook and Instagram for updates.
An injury to one is an injury to all. Support our troops!
donate to these brave ppl!

Hi everyone, my name is Morgan Robyn Collado! I am a fat trans Latina activist and poet living in Austin TX.I am reaching out to my community for support. For the past month I have been dealing with a really aggressive neighbor, a white woman who broke my girlfriendās car windshield twice and...
Hey y'all! Thank you so much for boosting my recent call for help. And thank you so so much to those who have already donated. I really appreciate it. I have been able to find a place for me and Noreen to stay until my lease ends. But I am still needing support getting to safe home and basic survival needs. I have to pay rent for two places this month and there a bunch of moving fees and utility deposit that I have to cover. On top of that, I am trying to find ways to continue to pay for electrolysis, which is a life saving procedure for me. Please signal boost this and donate what you can.
Okay, iām gonna sleep now before sunrise happens and it becomes impossible to sleep.
sunās rising here :p Ā <3

āwe are not sex fiends, we are internet fiendsā
all i can think about isā¦well, mostly iāve been thinking about a lot of normal shit lately (which is much better than only being able to think about where to sleep and how to eat): how are my meds doing, my job sucks but it sucks just enough to be tolerable, iām probably not gonna be on the street this winter, etc. Ā of course iām always thinking about *some* bullshit: obsessively thinking about how noone does the dishes in my house besides me and my girlfriend, how iām so very much more rrighteous than every person i have a resentment against, how drinking booze and smoking pot are totally getting me by right now.
i mean if i were to say iām always thinking about all this stuff and to not say iām always thinking about gender, actually would be a crock of shit. Ā iām pretty much always thinking about my gender, whether itās who can tell iām trans, who doesnāt care that iām trans, why am i trans, but lately iām thinking about what it is to be a person who experiences transmisogyny and an artist. Ā like what does it mean for me to be writing this right now. Ā
iāve been thinking so much about what my gender is, what it is about being someone who experiences transmisogyny, is womanhood something i can/want to/should bother wanting to experience, and what is the reason i have to have such a complicated relationship to gender. Ā ifuckinge if i could have just been whatever weird girl kinda genderless thing from the beginning, there would be no questions about it, right? Ā so why are we here, where there have to be all these questions? Ā iām thinking about gender and transition and what does it mean to be an artist and a healer these days and why talk about this stuff.
because of fucks like harry benjamin and cis voyeurism. Ā because of the literature written about us and no one will publish our own. Ā
unless of course we are cis passing, normie good little trannies who will tell you how itās totally not weird or cool or anything to have tits, who will tell you how theyāre all good and happy and just like the cis now and they almost never think about being trans.
the whole idea of transitioning is terrible and terrifying and murderous and bloody and yet itās the only framework we have. Ā transition. Ā from one to the other. Ā transition is defined in the oxford dictionary asĀ ātransitioning from one gender to *the other*ā Ā from one to the other, for fucks sake. Ā not from one to none, from one to any possible other.
the fact that iām supposed to set about on this path to go from male (proposing i ever was a male) to female is to mute the existence of trans people. Ā quite literally, the way harry benjamin would decide if we were Really & Truly Trans, the same way publishing companies only support the hegemonic myth of transition.
transitioning is a myth. Ā no one goes through that story book bullshit. Ā except for rich, white, straight, neurotypical women. Ā mean while a weird girlish agender thing who is crazy af and has a felony like me, can hardly afford hir hormones, is not always sure sie wants a vag and can hardly think about anything besides gender, my story only comes through lately in little and in bits and pieces of a broken transmission.
we must destroy the myth of transition. Ā we must destroy the idea that there is anything to transition from or to. Ā transition is something finite. Ā i am not finite. Ā i am infinite. Ā
stories of the infinite are not what sell. Ā it is up to our own infinite selves to displace the myth of transition. Ā through publishing and curation, collaboration, loud voices screaming, and new infrastructure by us for us. Ā and of course, this demands new language. Ā we need the spaces in which to loudly be speaking these new words and uncovering our new language.
we are not finite. Ā the myth of transition is a tool to desecrate and maintain our power. Ā we are healers, witches, cavants, and seers. Ā we see the infinite and we see beyond a future of retelling the same stories. Ā we see the destruction of transition and with the destruction of transition, we find trans liberation.
we will write, we will create, we will publish and promote, we will love and support each other and we will be free.
i should mention that the title of the post is a quote from Imogen Binnieās Nevada. Ā also hereās a comment i wrote: Ā
transition is idealized in nostalgia or as something in the past. we are expected to complete transition and look back on our "pre-transition," selves with pity and pangs of transmisogyny and remind ourselves how great it is that we're Really Truly Trans and that the trans part is behind and now we're just regular genders. well guess what, i don't want to stop being trans. there is no place for me, there is no where to go to, nothing to transition towards other than authenticity; i transitioned the moment i decided to take some fucking control of my life. and now i'm going to tell you about it, not because i deserve to have any amount of space but because there are people who've never heard someone speak like them and they deserve to know they're not alone.
I think any poem, and any writer, is always breaking open the questions beneath the poem, or the writing. Youāre always trying to figure out: what gives me the right to say x or y? What does that mean? When I say this, what does it mean?ā¦Circling questions is really what writing is. That constant investigating of any statement, any word, any question mark, any punctuationā¦you know, all of those things. Thatās writing.

selfies save lives
i got a grindr and am like actively using it
am not sure of my motivations rn but i think it involves sex
okay i saw you say something about this and so i got one and i feel the same but i do know iāve already gotten multiple dick pics and that is regrettable
from āAutobiography of Redā by Anne Carson
X. SEX QUESTION Is it a question? - I better be getting home. Okay. They continued to sit. They were parked way out on the highway. Cold night smell coming in the windows. New moon floating white as a rib at the edge of the sky. I guess Iām someone who will never be satisfied, said Herakles. Geryon felt all nerves in him move to the surface of his body. What do you mean satisfied? Justāsatisfied. I donāt know. From far down the freeway came a sound of fishhooks scraping the bottom of the world. You know. Satisfied. Geryon was thinking hard. Fires twisted through him. He picked his way carefully toward the sex question. Why is it a question? He understood that people need acts of attention from one another, does it really matter which acts? He was fourteen. Sex is a way of getting to know someone, Herakles had said. He was sixteen. Hot unsorted parts of the question were licking up from every crack in Geryon, he beat at them as a nervous laugh escaped him. Herakles looked. Suddenly quiet. Itās okay, said Herakles. His voice washed Geryon open. Tell me, said Geryon and he intended to ask him, Do people who like sex have a question about it too? but the words came out wrongāIs it true you think about sex every day? Heraklesā body stiffened. That isnāt a question itās an accusation. Something black and heavy dropped between like a smell of velvet. Herakles switched on the ignition and they jumped forward onto the back of the night. Not touching but joined in astonishment as two cuts lie parallel in the same flesh.

what is recovery
i am thinking so much about recovery lately. Ā i thought that i was recovered at one point, because thatās what i learned in a 12 step program. Ā but then when that program stopped helping me, after about 4 years of being sober and my mental health getting worse and worse, i started to ask a lot of questions about recovery. Ā the model of recovery i learned is indicated by whiteness, financial privelege and above all, neurotypicality. Ā i was in aa for years and was still homeless and struggling with increasingly worsening mental health issues. Ā i had a sponsor, i had sponsees, i went to conventions, i did service at every level, i did everything. Ā things werenāt changing for me. Ā i had been thinking about psychedelics as a way to break up stagnation in my thought patterns. Ā not because i wanted to get high but because i knew i needed a big jolt to help me keep growing. Ā eventually, i started having really intense bipolar cycles every month with terrible mixed episodes. Ā i started smoking pot eventually and have cycled once since, which was only about half as bad. Ā iāve been having increasingly serious psychotic symptoms. Ā i decided to drink alcohol again and it feels really great. Ā iām not ready to completely throw my life away or sacrifice everything for booze again like aa taught me. Ā iām in a better place than iāve ever been. Ā aa helped me get here but only so much. Ā i just keep thinking about what does recovery mean for me? Ā bipolar isnāt going away. Ā schizophrenic stuff isnāt gonna go away. Ā autism wonāt go away. Ā i still have an active eating disorder. Ā can i ever beĀ ārecovered?ā Ā is this a relapse? what is a relapse? i donāt want to focus so much on aa, more on the nature of recovery for people with chronic problems other than alcohol. Ā i wonder too, am i an alcoholic? Ā i canāt say that the first night i drank, i wasnāt thinking wow how much i missed booze, how safe this makes me feel. Ā i definitely think iām kind of flirting with the void, but when arenāt i? Ā my entire life has been in and out of and through and into and becoming the void. Ā what is recovery?
