in contrast to a tweet going around, I LIKE when cishet people use “partner” to describe their significant other because normalization of the term means I’m not automatically outing myself when I use it

"we can't wear masks forever" counterpoint: there is literally no reason that we can't. masks are a simple, very effective tool that protects everyone. you're bitching about a minor inconvenience that could save someone's life (and that someone could be you!).

I do think cis queer YA authors in particular need to be vigilant whenever making ANY statements, no matter how casual, about the body—particularly parts that tend to be gendered. if you’re openly queer trans teens will think your books are safe. it’s on you to make sure they are

To clarify: -this🧵is my experience, so yes, I’m fully vaxxed x3 -I’m NOT saying vaccines are pointless—I’m saying though many of us ARE fully vaxxed we still don’t know how protected we are -The ~500x is 485x exactly, compared to vaxxed ableds, pre dose 3 -If you can, get vaxxed

conservatives think universities "turn" students liberal because it turns out when you're exposed to a variety of people whose life experiences are different from yours and are encouraged to think critically, GOP talking points fall apart

@ADHDLaura to me, not giving her any more money is the most important part. what you do with the stuff you already have or how you feel about the series is totally up to you!

okay there's a lot of transphobia talk on my TL so I'm gonna say this: the worst part of being trans are the transphobes & dysphoria. (& I'd argue the latter is worsened by the former.) the best part is everything else. I love being trans.

hello good morning as we inevitably talk more about reproductive rights, here is yet another reminder this isn't just a "women's issue." nonbinary & trans people exist. your "men can't get pregnant" take is tired & throws trans people under the bus so you can get some sweet RTs
