Happy Lesbian Visibility Day!

just got kicked out of the best panhandling spot i've ever had by the mcdonalds management due to a customer complaint. all i got today so far is one dollar.

a dozen people are kind and generous to me every day, and it takes just one asshole to ruin the whole thing.

i'm so tired of moving around and avoiding the wave of stigma and hatred against homeless people. i'm just trying to survive out here, man. cops and other homeless people drove me out of the previous spot, and now i don't know where i'm gonna go.

i'm gonna have to spend the day driving around and finding a new spot to sleep and get my cash, but first i need some gas. the prices went up 10 cents recently too.

i'm sorry to ask again, but if you want to support me through this and are able to, please consider donating to my ko-fi. i would greatly appreciate it as it's all i have for today and until i find another option.

It's honestly crazy that discussion around testosterone HRT skews so much towards the beginning stages of it (to the point that you have dozens of guys thinking their transition is "failed" if they don't pass by like a year in lol) and what the initial changes of the first couple of months to years look like, like the classic laundry list of those early basic changes like bottom growth, voice drop, etc, when IMO literally none of that compares remotely to the depth and intensity of the long term total masculinization you start to experience like 3-5+ years in.

doctors have fucked up incredibly badly with HRT timelines and advice to trans people. actual endogenous human puberty takes almost 20 years

reblogging this again actually to share some of my specific experiences on the transfem side:

doctors say body fat and boobs and stuff happen mostly within the first 3 years. but i got major spurts of breast development at 7 years and 11-12 years. my hips have become significantly wider in the past couple of years - at like 13-14 years HRT.

you will keep changing forever.

i started testosterone when i was 17 and didn't grow chest hair until i was 29.

you will keep growing and changing forever.

pride juice (it makes you gay and transes your gender) 🧃🏳️‍🌈

the layers settle back into their original order due to difference in density & polarity

From artist Saif (@saif0_0ali) on Instagram + Tumblr

Written in arabic calligraphy over colors of 🏳️‍🌈 the pride flag and two men kissing.

Written above an image of a dark skin bearded person wearing hijab, make-up and a nostril piercing. Colors of the 🏳️‍⚧️  trans pride flag in the background. A slur for ‘Trans Woman’ written on their cheek. It can also be read to mean ‘Intersex’ or ‘Third Gender’. (In this context it could be a way of reclaiming this slur)

Written in arabic calligraphy with an image of a smiling trans masculine person with mastectomy scars that bleed the colors of 🏳️‍⚧️  trans pride flag.

Written in arabic calligraphy with the image of two women in hijab holding each other closely with colors of 🏳️‍🌈 the pride flag in the background.

The arabic transcript for the first, third, and fourth images :

1- الحب أقوى من كراهيتكم

3- فخر العبور

4- ألله لا يصنع أخطاء

THE BIRDCAGE (1996) dir. Mike Nichols

Nobody better ever fucking tell me the fight for rights is over.

Reminder this is where "no kink at pride" leads. You demand everything be family friendly you'll learn who's families are the standard

SUPPORT PALESTINIAN BUSINESSES

There's also Ma'moul Press, founded by comic artist Leila Abdulrazaq, which sells zines and other types of art. I'm not sure if everything they sell is specifically Palestinian though.

^found this via a collection of Palestinian owned businesses on IG earlier today. another company that sells olive oil

^this shop sells tatreez embroidery kits and books on the topic as well as some fabrics

Philz coffee was founded by a Palestinian man and his son but they no longer own the company. The new owners couldnt care less about Palestine

PALESTINIAN LITERATURE READING LIST

i stand with palestine 🇵🇸

​thank you @thedawner for the brushset ♡

i wake up thirsty and i think of palestine. i go to the doctor’s office and i think of palestine. a sign in the corner of the waiting room says ‘this is a place of healing, disruptive behavior will not be tolerated’ and i think of palestine. they probably weren’t thinking of bombs and snipers and mass graves in parking lots. i call my parents and i think of palestine. i drive to the grocery store and i think of palestine. i look at the clear blue sky and i think of palestine. i put the dishes away and i think of palestine. i feed my cat and i think of palestine. i listen to music and i think of palestine. i read poetry and i think of palestine. i text my friends and i think of palestine. i think of palestine and i think of palestine and i think of palestine

I know you have all probably seen the esims for gaza posts circulating. Some of you have probably looked at them and thought maybe you should help out, but have weighed up the daunting process of signing up for something you're unfamiliar with vs. the gut-wrenching scale of the things people are going through on the ground right now, and you've put it off or questioned whether it will make enough of a difference vs. some other future kind of activism you could put that $6+ towards. I'm not calling you out or scolding you, it is natural to feel conflicted and ambivalent about the multiple calls for aid that you are seeing on social media.

but consider this: what would you do if you suddenly had to leave your home? how would you cope? how would you begin to plan where to go next, or figure out what to do to take care of yourself? most likely you would reach reflexively for your phone.

telecoms access is not a petty luxury in 2024. a loaded esim means the ability to call family members and find out where they are and whether they're safe, and whether they need anything you can provide for them. it means access to maps and regular updates on the situation unfolding around you. it means you can look up whether it's safe to drink rain water, or how to tie a type of knot you've never had to think about before, or how to treat an injury without medical supplies. it means the ability to tell people outside the situation what you are seeing, what you are feeling, what you are thinking. it is an absolutely crucial resource. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.

many many people have observed that internet access is changing the way the world understands genocide. internet access is life or death, and it is shaping modern history in front of you. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.

please, please visit gazaesims.com and spend 5 minutes and $6 to change the way this plays out for everyone.
