sometimes when I am sad or melancholy I open the bear cam at brooks falls in katmai national park, and in another window I play brian eno's "the big ship" on repeat and you know what? it really helps.

@MForstater as a mom, my concern is your bigotry, your sexism, and your intense fixation on other people's genitals, not the cute little mascot who wants to share a love of reading.

@KatyMontgomerie most women are just fine sharing spaces with trans people, but it's easy for anti-trans activists to dismiss & ignore us, because we haven't made transphobia our main hobby & sole character trait.

@KatyMontgomerie this is like when gcs insist they know I'm not a woman, because I'm aggressively defending trans people, and "real" women don't act like that. as they repeatedly insist that I'm the misogynist in the exchange for believing in things like bodily autonomy & self-determination.
