Genuinely Obsessed With The Grimace Milkshake Meme I Hope It's Got The McDonald's Marketing Team Locked

seeing transmisandry truthers try to paint transmisogyny discussion as the newest wave of exclusionism, as ppl saying transmascs don't experience transphobia and don't belong in the queer community, honestly makes my blood boil. how little do you have to care about other people, how thin-skinned do you have to be, to hear that when someone says "you have privilege, please examine how you behave around transfeminine people"

Sam Nordquist Is Not The Only Black Trans Person That Died This Month.

Do Only Some Black Trans Lives Matter to You?

there's no clever way of saying it. people in our community, in general, do not care about Black trans female sex workers or their lives.

117 original posts on tumblr about Sam Nordquist, multiple in the hundreds of notes, not even counting posts memorializing Lisa or Tahiry too. more needed, but comparatively a lot of coverage when you consider:

6 original posts about Tahiry Broom, a 29 year-old Black trans female sex worker that was killed five days earlier and reported on at the same time as Sam. two of those original posts are memorializing all trans people that have passed this year, and only one has more than 30 notes.

(link to more awful evidence on how ignored Tahiry's passing has been in comparison to Sam's and in general)

how can we be so cruel as to create and perpetuate a hierarchy when it comes to how worthy of care a Black trans death is? to validate the oppressive systems that ended her? this community's transmisogynoir and disregard for the lives of sex workers is sickening. and it's the exact reason her murderer called 33 Black female sex workers (including other trans women) and eventually Tahiry when he was looking to lure someone to her death. it's the exact reason this young woman died 12 days before her birthday.

Pay Attention by keeping up with News Outlets and Orgs that report on Black Trans Women and Sex Workers (like Blaque Out, pghlesbian, NBJC, etc.) by following their social medias and subscribing to their newsletters—

esp pghlesbian who works in tandem with Trans Doe Task Force and therefore is usually the first to report (btw, consider donating to her legal defense and blog expenses as she's too disabled to work and has been sued by transphobes)

[ID: A cropped screenshot of an online article by Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents. The article's title says "29 Year Old Black Trans Woman Tahiry Broom Killed in Detroit" with smaller text below it saying "February 14, 2025 by Sue". A photo below shows Tahiry, a young woman with a soft face and warm brown skin. She has a short, straight, sleek black bob. Her baby hairs are laid down. She has a filter that makes her thin eyes a grey-blue underneath her long false eyelashes. Her medium-to-wide nose turns up at the end, and her thick, glossy lips seem to be puckered for the photo. Her eyebrows are black and thinned out, and she seems to be wearing a black salon cape buttoned over her multicolored blouse. A chest tattoo of what seems to be a dark green vine peeks out from under the cape. She is beautiful. Below the photo, text reads "Tahiry 'Tokyo' Broom via family". End image description.]

Maybe this goes without saying, but DO NOT trust google’s AI results if you search something about bugs. Every single AI result I’ve seen about bugs so far has been wildly incorrect.

the way the ipad has undone literal decades of tech literacy is actually unforgiveable

this is getting dangerous, wouldn't you say?

Accidentally reblogged this without text

I've been offline a while but I did not move to Cohost because the way they've been holding up the site seems suspicious so I don't know how long it will last.

I've been on Twitter a lot more for the past few months

Thinking of moving to Cohost...

tbh i think it's just really important, now more than ever, that americans (and tbh, just ppl from the imperial core in general) start to actually reading up on south african history, laws and politics. there will absolutely be an uptake in anti-south african (especially anti BLACK south africans) propaganda both online and in american politics, even from so-called american leftist spaces, and i absolutely refuse to be the one who has to hold your hand and remind you that me and my people are human !

the yuri genre has contributed more to queer culture than hollywood ever will
