(tell me to draw)

“What options do I have besides suicide?”

this is NOT an “alternatives to suicide/coping methods” post. it’s “what do we do now?”

1. have hope and keep trying to do good

do what you gotta do to make it through this week

be brave and be kind; we are still here

survive for the people who have survived before, and to spite the people who want you to despair

call a hotline

when you are miserable, make something; it will change the world

2. it might not be over yet

check whether your ballot was counted, you’re allowed a few days to fix errors

it might just be a signature mismatch

fix your ballot if someone made you vote for someone you didn’t want to

good things happened in this election too

more positive ballot measures passed

3. the way out will always be community

bond and organise with your community

engage in community activism

the way forward is together; anarchism starts in the now

you’re still allowed to stay/get sober, and you’re allowed to take precautions if you’re not sober

do your own trans healthcare

GOALEEEEEEE

Felt like doing some edits of our beautiful girl Bagi, in all her glory. She's slaying too hard for Rusty's liking, I understand where the envy comes from.

Still wild that people got mad at a woman for punching another woman in a "who can punch" harder contest. Goes to show how much the world is against female athletes.

It's still insane to me how Rusty was capable of writing a real world scenario in which a black butch woman (or just a black woman period) would be targeted by transvestigation just for being butch and black, and yet somebow Rusty thought it was completely realistic and truthful to life that it's trans allies who transvestigate, not transphobes

Ah yes

Somebody who supports trans people is 100% more likely to transvestigate somebody and invalidate their identity even if they're a cisgender woman, totally not the group of people who had a brown woman in the Olympics under a internet firing squad because she dared to be too good at boxing, and therein it meant she had to secretly be a man because how dare she hurt the little feeble white princess she was put up against.

have u ever heard of ddt pro-wrestling :o

Im guessing this was brought on by my ttc posting but no I don't pls tell me more im twiddling my thumbs

yknow brainwashing is a huge part of cults and people always like to claim trans people are brainwashed...

Why would they be brainwashed 😭

All I see about trans people is that they're ""dangerous predators"" and are oftentimes victims of horrific violence, bullying, and abuse. Brainwashing doesn't work like that, bro. I don't look at stories of trans people being brutalised and think "Oh, transness sounds exciting!"

In fact, it makes me feel that the people who oppose trans people are brainwashed. Some of the leaps you have to make are insane. Men won't go through years of HRT and surgery to get into women's bathrooms- I don't know if you know this, but society treats abusive men better than trans women. And the "cult pamphlet compared to the trans pamphlet" really takes the cake.

I'm cis, I'm planning on remaining cis. This is just bullshit. Being transgender is not at all equal to a gender essentialist cult that believes in stifling women's roles. And it's crazy that you'd even come to that conclusion.

You haven't been in trans spaces. You've only heard of trans people- and those words come out of the mouths who want to pull the wool over your eyes. Like rusty!

I'm not gonna speculate on why people turn transphobic- I don't think it can be done in one text post by my dumbass, but can yall grow tf up😭

Some coda appreciation because they're @codabound (go read their works!!)

Some Jasper appreciation for @theboogierat!
