The threat was loud and clear: Report your so-called “DEI” employees or else. What exactly “DEIA or similar ideologies” means is up in the air, but the message was out there. And so was the email address of the DEIA snitching hotline. Fake emails quickly started to roll in. ‘I don’t care, fuck these McCarthyite bastards,” one BlueSky user said, with an screenshot attached of an email to the hotline where he ironically reported Donald Trump and JD Vance for being “put in their positions solely because of their race and/or gender despite the fact that they are wholly unqualified for their jobs and, in some cases, have criminal records.” “Anyone have a script to fire off a billion e-mails an hour??” another user asked in the replies. “Anyone can email anything of any size even if it crashes the site,” one X user noted. The scope and effectiveness of this latest phase of Trump’s anti-DEI crusade remains to be seen.
Everyone told me testosterone would make me angrier. My family has a habit of attributing any anger I feel these days to the testosterone. I didn't feel any angrier, but my mother would still tell me that no, I am angrier now, and testosterone did make me angrier and *she* could tell.
A week or two ago, I got my proof to the contrary. I'd been having a difficult day, woke up late, and had to rush out the door, ran into minor inconvenience after minor inconvenience, and then the straw broke the camel's back.
I wrote out the kind of angry vindictive seething text message I used to write constantly. I didn't send it, of course, I copied it out and pasted it in the folder of my notes where I put all my rage venting.
And then I thought.
Huh, it's been a little while since I did that. And I checked the time and dates on my previous notes. The last one was a few days before I started testosterone.
And scrolling back, I noticed that they were *constant* at least one a week for *years* I used to get so angry that I would get the serious urge to say cruel hurtful things to or about people I cared about on a near-daily basis. I didn't realize how big of a problem it was until all of a sudden I hadn't gotten that angry in Eleven Months. Nearly a YEAR.
And then I realized in my rush to get out the door in the morning, I hadn't taken my T shot. My testosterone was the lowest it's been since August.
All of a sudden, I had demonstrable proof that testosterone really did make me less angry. That all that "you may not think you're any angrier but you are" was bullshit.
I feel like I should be angrier about this than I am. I know how angry I used to get. About everything. I just felt it again for the first time in a while. For once, it would feel justified to be that angry. But I'm not. I'm not mad. I'm just... disappointed, I guess.
Do we think "Israel" brazenly bragging about not allowing humanitarian aid through the border will be enough for people to stop scolding Gazans for making individual/family fundraisers because "it's better to donate to trusted orgs instead" or are they never going to get it?
tiktok stunt haha funny. please talk about the ice raids
Hey I remembered that y'all had asked about DIY HRT and Lily Alexandre posted a video just yesterday with a pseudo guide to how to do it safely.
https://youtu.be/o2Ggwe2j0Gc?si=b2PWkNHvpvZE-g65
Please if you check out this video, download it and rip it as well. Who knows how long we'll have access to it.
holy shit this is awesome, thank you so much!!!!!!
this is the ONLY way certain people can access HRT and i want to make sure those individuals stay as safe as possible. while it's best to try to get it through a medical provider when and where you can, not everyone has this option. thank you so much.
as suggested, download this video. i have downloaded a copy. if the video does go down, i will be happy to find ways to get it to people who need it. preserve this information. nobody deserves to go without lifesaving hormones.
@save-hasan needs our help! Hassan and his family have been forced to flee their home in Gaza countless times due to bombings and attacks from the IOF, and they are now living in a makeshift tent in Rafah. Hassan is extremely sick and cannot walk; he needs medical treatment now! They need about $100 per day to pay for hospital treatment, and the surgery costs $5,000. He needs this surgery in a week, but their campaign is only at £280, and they've received no new donations in the last 24 hours! Please, please donate whatever you can to help Hassan get this operation. If you cannot donate, share their campaign as much as possible and make your own posts about their story!

Section 230 is a law passed in the 90s that gave birth to the modern internet. Without it, the internet as we know it quite literally would not exist.
Gutting part of Section 230 is why there was a tumblr purge in 2018 which led to a domino effect of making the internet worse. This was written in SESTA/FOSTA.
Senators Dick Durbin (D) and Lindsey Graham (R) are introducing a bill that would “sunset” Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Section 230 is known as the “26 words that created the Internet.” It essentially allows websites to host users’ speech and engage in good faith moderation without being held legally liable for every post users make. Without it, platforms would have to choose between ducking lawsuits by pre-censoring "controversial" content or abandoning moderation altogether. Smaller, decentralized platforms like Bluesky, Mastodon, Signal, and Reddit would likely be tanked by lawsuits, while Big Tech companies like Meta, Google, and X would survive, solidifying their monopolies
There would be no more organizing protests like Tesla Takedown online, no more posting about abortion resources or trans healthcare, and no more independent media. With the Trump admin escalating attacks on immigrants, students, journalists, and protestors, we can’t afford to lose online organizing spaces and access to information. Tell lawmakers: hands off Section 230! (link below contains petition and more details on the law)
(I know it seems like pressuring congress doesn't work, but this is how KOSA was defeated 2 sessions in a row. IT WORKS.)
i hate this fucking "i'm just a girl" brand of feminism bc it is so easy for young women in their 20s who are afraid of big changes and personal growth to revert to depending on their gender and the associated fragility of it so that they can make it through life when really they're just trapping themselves in a position where they cannot and will not grow out of that fear.
T Journey Journal #8
Days since start: 97
God it’s been almost 100 days since I’ve started T. I can hardly belive it half the time if I’m being honest, but it’s gotten to the part where everyone can hear my voice getting lower and my happy trail is visible in low light and there’s hair on my upper legs and arms and I have a little puberty stache and- I could cry man I actually look like Sean now, I look like myself. I’m so unbelievably happy and my T dosege was upped last week so I’m doing two pumps of T instead of one and I cannot wait to see what happens. Guys I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy about my body, or my voice or anything.
Speaking of being happy, things are just going good I general:D A friend of mine and I got an apartment and we’ve had it for about two almost three weeks now:D If you’ve read my past entries you know living with Mamá was A Struggle (TM) but I’m ok now!! And like!! I can hang out with friends!! And lovers!! Whenever I want to (and we can bc work and schedules)!!! Like damn this is nice, stuffs going pretty nice, I like this:))
I’ll try to be more consistent with blogging now that I’m moved and all that jazz, and maybe even start posting photos along with these journals:D I know for a FACT I want my happy trail on the internet, it just needs to be seen by as many people as possible (can you tell I’m proud of it?:))))) But until then, stay safe, stay queer:DD
