I wanted to share some more of these, specifically trans women of color. The images I'm posting are from a project called To Survive On This Shore and it's an interview project. I am only posting a handful so it's so worth checking out!

This is Linda, 60

Alexis, 64

Helena, 63

Kendrah, 72 (!!)

Tasha, 65

It was deeply healing to me to discover this project. The site has selected photos and attached interviews and it's definitely worth your time. I didn't include any because the focus of this post imo is transfems but there are a lot of beautiful interviews with transmasc people too if you're interested! But that'll have to be another post 💖

There's a weird kind of power in being multiple wheelchair users out together. It's normally such an isolating experience and a lot of day to day ableism hinges on that isolation and it's a lot easier to ignore access problems when theres only one person who can't participate, so when theres suddenly TWO of you they don't know how to react.

I just hung out with another wheelchair user for the second time ever and it was a deeply healing experience, there really is power in it. It also makes inaccessibility very obvious but it’s nice to have someone to bitch to that gets it at least. If you thought people stared at you as a single wheelchair user just wait till they see you start multiplying lol people will literally run into walls bc they were too busy staring at you two. My number one goal is to gather a group of wheelchair users then stampede across town doing gods know what like a pack of wild dogs.

I use a very strong powerchair and the friend I went out with uses a manual chair, we figured out he can lean forward and grab my armrest by the "elbows" to hitch a ride as long as the terrain is reasonably smooth. The effect is something between a chariot and those skaters who go bumper hitching behind cars.

We went to a music festival that involved bar and venue hopping to see different acts that were blocks apart, and I'm pretty sure we formed a Core Memory for more than one set of tiny kids and got a whole bunch of cheers from drunk people. It was so much fun, we hope to have even more friends out next year.

Needed to get this off my chest to someone. But. I think someone should make Queen Elizabeth smoke a joint that's laced with weed so she dies. Literally foolproof

you want to give her a joint. laced. with weed. a joint. with weed in it. you want to give her a joint. and she looks at it and says. "oh a diet joint" and she goes to smoke it but then it's. it's weed. and she hates it? I think? and she dies. from the weed?

i know the way people talk about their pets now is probably how we’ve been doing it for all of history. a cat owner in ancient rome saw their cat lounging on the dining pillows and commented “he thinks himself to be the senator claudius 🤣”

I think if zoidberg moved into bikini bottom he wouldnt look out of place at all i wouldnt even notice him there

I like how polite he is because he isnt intruding but curious somewhat

staring at the dessert menu and twirling my hair and going "should I be baaaaddd" until the autistic girl I'm eating with says "there is nothing bad about eating dessert. it is a morally neutral action"

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

Freedom FROM religion is mandatory.

What is a cat if not a silly little guy that follows you around 24/7, making funny faces and shedding on your clean clothes?

there’s this term i coined in my friendgroup i call “the charizard effect” and it can apply to anything and everything, but it was born from me explaining my feelings about the pokemon charizard. the term is basically about how overexposure to something be it by corporate shilling or fandom prominence drives me away from really enjoying something bc i’m exposed to it so much against my will i become tired of it. it came to me bc i was ranting about how tpci does not, and cannot stop reinventing charizard, and how it is popular and obtusely included in almost every region, merch, etc in every way possible and it’s highly commodified.

i dont dislike the pokemon charizard, in fact i really like its X form, but i am exposed to so much charizard in my pokemon consumption that i cant be bothered to care for it in any more than in passing. this applies to a bunch of other stuff i’d otherwise be ok with, but i always just call this aversion phenomena “the charizard effect”

[blxnc]

making this term has done numbers for me being able to concisely express how i feel abt something. like. its not charizard’s fault i feel this way, im sure i’d feel normal abt it if it was stripped of all this over commodification, but i cannot. hence the name
