I wish people could understand that while libs have a more pallatable ideal for daily life and politics, in action they snitch, utilize law to kill, and ruin anyone who disagrees with them on the left for “threatening progressivism”

Liberal communities have again and again declared open war on me, my channel, my name. Falsely accused me and mine of crimes, mass reported my work (and succeded at getting it taken down on false pretenses at least twice!!)

They call me insane for saying things like “yes there is a trans genocide ongoing” and have at literally every turn made my life worse and helped fascists simply for disagreeing with them. Ive fought them only with words. never met them with equivalent force they bear out on me. but I will never forget how much they have punished me after inviting me to debate them in their “marketplace of ideas”

it's nice to look back at the art that was made for me and realize the ways in which me deciding to live honestly has shaped others and rippled out

people need to notice how much the right's media figures are scrambling around kanye's open anti-semitism. there are internal processes within the reaction occurring right now.

remember to check in with your queer, poc, and especially jewish friends soon. things are heating up and only we protect us. the state doesn't protect us.

Earlier today by chance online I came across a young trans person who was mocking me for being a public figure trans woman who “didn’t voice train” as if I had committed some sin by not presenting “correctly” as a public figure.

At first I couldnt help but laugh at the desperate cruelty of it. Obviously I voice trained like crazy for years. I warm up my voice for 40 minutes at the start of every stream. I just…consciously over time moved away from pushing myself to always be hyper femme. I did that diligently for years when I had to to survive, but its strenuous and not fully genuine to who I am.

Out of curiosity, I clicked their profile to discover endless borderline suicide posting, extensively going out of their way to post in the most negative and toxic trans spaces on the web.

I have recieved a lot of cruelty over the years from other trans people. Some of the cruelest shit imaginable. often from younger trans people. If it was anyone else treating me like that it would be nothing for me to laugh at their own misery they’re projecting onto me. But…I cant just laugh that off.

People like this could have at least had a shot at happiness and freedom from self hate if the world was just less than endlessly hostile towards trans people.

I remember my own self hate and some of the cruel thoughts I had in my own mind then. I can never imagine feeling motivated to post those publically about someone, but still. I know the pain self hate causes. the distortion.

Hatred and prejudice have cascading effects. It just cuts away at all of us. Cruelty begets even more cruelty. and the young trans ppl try to kill the “old” (by a few years lmao) ones to soothe their pain.

What a stupid and meaningless cycle. many of these hateful, putrid, toxic self hating racist chan culture trans ppl will die. self inflicted or otherwise. and there can be no peace found in that because they only became that way and twist the knife in their own because they were bludgeoned into self consuming self hatred.

but also why the fuck twist the knife in me?! because I happened to raise my voice at all? fucking meaningless.

Hi, I'm GayFesh, a #YouTube media reviewer! I do weekly reviews of #StarTrek, #StarWars, #MCU, and other such content.

I also have a #podcast called The Rest of Both Worlds where my cohost watches #StarTrekTNG for the first time.

I'm also a #queer leftist and talk a lot of #politics on social media.

I also write #music, both for my channel and for others. If you watch @DemonMama I wrote her main channel theme as well as "The Bathroom Song" among others.

Hey, I'm Stefanie and I make #neonoir #pixelart animations, short films and music videos.

it doesn't matter whether or not prisons "work" (and oh let's be careful never to define work as anything other than "criminals are stopped from committing more crimes")

It matters that today, our prisons, in our societies, are designed as part of a mega-machine of apparatuses with the goal of killing every way of life so life itself has no form. And in its formless, primeval muck, Labor becomes malleable, directable. It pumps us through its circuitry, to give it life.

We deserve to determine for ourselves the form of our lives.

Mt. Rainier casting a shadow upwards across the sky.

iberal democracies have tried their hardest to convince the public that any political act not done through their institutions is illegitimate.

the institutions of our society are built on structures which inherently exclude. because of this society produces its own resistance.

our history, as queer people, has been the history of demanding recognition against a society that wants to define us away, failing the "objective" criteria of the structures it claims as truth.
