After watching "Allen v. Farrow", I started writing a long essay on my childhood rape, the fallout, the lack of justice, the anger, the suicidality, all of it.

It's still not finished, and I'm not sure I'll ever publish it. I just find myself filled with rage. Never goes away.
My rapist is in a box in the ground. An adult I should have trusted above anyone else. And there's nothing left after that. You can't argue with the ground.

Rage is exhausting. It's draining. And I try my best to navigate it. I honestly still don't know how.
I've written about 4,000 words, so far. And every time I think I might get it ready to publish, I just can't really bring myself to do it. I think my main problem is reconciling a need to seek justice through truth, which somehow costs a measure of dignity. That's a high price.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!

This is not to be confused with Trans Day of Remembrance (Nov. 20th), which memorializes trans and non-binary people whose murders were motivated by transphobia.

Instead, today is for celebration and visibility of our community!

#TDOV

(thread)
This day of celebration was founded by Rachel Crandall in 2008 and is now observed by trans folks and those who love them around the world.

How can you celebrate? The possibilities are endless, but here are a few options...
Stream a trans documentary. Some suggestions:

Paris is Burning (1990)
Southern Comfort (2001)
A Place in the Middle (2014)
Passing (2015)
The Pearl of Africa (2016)
The Trans List (2016)
TransMilitary (2018)
Disclosure (2020)
Transhood (2020)

Good morning! As we close out the final days of Women's History Month, I wanted to take a moment to honor a woman I greatly admire for many reasons, and if you're not aware of her, I think you're about to admire her, too.

(thread)
In the weeks after the murder of George Floyd by police in her city, Minneapolis City Council Vice President Andrea Jenkins emerged as a national voice on policy brutality + systemic racism, offering a powerful vision of what the future could be with compassion + intentionality.
She appeared everywhere in the news landscape, from MSNBC to Glamour, demonstrating a rare degree of leadership in the public square. But what makes this all the more interesting is the journey she took to get to this point.

Does any rational adult among us really believe that rank-and-file Trump supporters really view social media as anything other than a way to directly troll people they hate? Folks evangelizing for Parler spent far more time on here talking about Parler than being on Parler.
Also: remember “Trump TV” or whatever the hell that was going to be?
Listen: these people have no actual ideas to help the country. If they did, they’d be all-in on setting up independent platforms to sell those ideas.

This is all about outrage, and Trump supporters know that. They’re not looking for ideas. They’re looking for hate fuel.

"Lincoln" is a great movie adaptation, but I would watch the hell out of a miniseries adaptation for "Team of Rivals".
Like, I'm honestly surprised this hasn't been done?
I think they could even get away with making a compelling three or four seasons in adapting it.

Twitter changed the colors of the unfollow button to the color of what used to the be follow button, so I've now unfollowed people I like several times under the mistaken impression that I had somehow unfollowed them. What a weird design change.
I'm not kidding. I nearly just unfollowed @DawnPorter because I thought I wasn't already following her because of the color of the button. This is madness!
And it happens so fast. You see it, click it, and then you realize, and you're like: ah, dammit.
