@essjayjay This day, which surprises me each year as i never expect it [i'm completely apart from / outside of any sense of any "community", & events like this & Pride & Mardi Gras etc aren't even on my calendar so i never know they've happened til i read of them], always reinforces to me how very "other" i am. As a post-op transwoman who regards her transition as a failure [not coz i did it, only that it turned out so poorly], "visibility" is the thing most of all that is anathema to me. My entire objective & hope was for "invisibility". There's so much hype & razzmatazz around these days for being different including being visibly different [which i wanna emphasise is excellent & beautiful for all who derive succour & validation from that]. It makes me feel even more odd than already, knowing as i do how much i do not want nor enjoy being visibly different. 🤷‍♀️

Trump appointed #AlinaHabba #AttorneyGeneral for #NewJersey Like watching the #Wreckage in a #BadMarriage and #AbusiveRelationship: #Trump and the #GOP is the #AbusiveHusband and #SenSchumer and the #TheDemocrats is the #AbusedWife. #RedStates side with #Daddy #BlueStates side with #Mommy #ElonMusk is a #WeirdUncle and everyone is in #Denial. In this #Nihilism there WILL be #LotsOfDamage. The only positive can be that the #RedStates recieve more damage than the #BlueStates which subsidize them.

I used to think that a global nuclear war, or massive comet strike would be a terrible catastrophe. Now I'm like "meh"
We're a crude arrogant and lazy species and I really do appreciate a good comeuppance. Like watching the bull get the matador.
NOTE-
I am not suggesting or promoting any act of violence whatsoever. Violence is one of our most egregious faults.

Meanwhile, boomers.... Hope you weren't counting on your *earned* social security benefits!

Musk is coming for Social Security, and its prior head thinks the agency will crater within 90 days.... bye bye benefits.

(The #disinformation story line is that immigrants have been receiving benefits. Nope.)

Just saw him speak w/ Stephanie Ruhle. ⚠️

X (formerly Twitter)Martin O'Malley (@MartinOMalley) on XThis will cripple the agency that has already been paralyzed by President Musk and President Trump. Our seniors deserve so much better. https://t.co/O74nZ6I7v3

"He is surrounded by people who have grandiose plans and dreams beyond our planet. Vengeful nihilism is a big part of the #Maga project" ~ it's the psychic crisis at the root of all our troubles: fear & hatred of the feminine.

"This is the only planet in the universe to which we are adapted...a place that would sound like paradise to anyone removed from it. This is our heaven, and there can be no other."
