No, I’m picking a fight with China.

Taiwan is a country.

Yeah, there’s enough content on Lemmy to see everything in a half hour and then get on with the day. I like that.

The algorithm is set to “here’s everything except what you blocked.”

It’s quite good. A tight cast of exactly three characters who also play the instruments needed for the songs. Very queer, overt trans themes, and it was quite relatable to me!

I saw Lizard Boy at Portland Center Stage a couple times last week. Once with a friend who saw six showings in a row, and once with her and my wife soon after. Was quite good.

Two people hit it with a downvote.

I have no idea what the downvotes are trying to communicate.

• ”that’s right, tranny, we’re coming for you”
• ”this content doesn’t improve Lemmy“
• ”trans people aren’t discriminated against”

Or something else entirely that I can’t articulate.

Whatever the reasons for the downvotes people have left, my feelings are true and I feel them.

Being murdered for being trans while living in Oregon. It shouldn’t happen, but it’s not impossible.

Not impossible though. Two in January, two in November.

Thanks!

If I enjoy a creator, I want to see more of their work.

With people like you, I would have no idea who Neil Kohney even is.

Fuck you in particular.

Bravery doesn’t mean much when I just wanna exist without the federal government throwing its full weight against me, while riling up lone wolves and poisoning any sort of discussion and thought process among the public.

Honestly, as a trans woman that doesn’t pass, there’s fewer than ten states where I feel comfortable existing.

Buddy, I get that you’re a cis hetero white guy, and that all the time is your time to weigh in and tell people how bad stuff is,

but would you not? Please?

My wife spent a large portion of the morning crying because ICE seized her passport a while back, she paid the replacement fee, and it came back with an M on it.

You’re prolly well meaning, but goddammit now is not the time considering that trans people are being specifically targeted.

Don’t reply.

We have the best shitposts because we’ve been horribly traumatized at large and we’re not okay.
