Here’s the thing Francisco doesn’t get:

I’m not TRYING to be manly. And (perhaps unlike him?) I’m not insulted by -not- seeming manly, if I don’t. In fact, I LIKE women. I WANTED to be a woman. I TRIED for -decades- to be one. But it’s not about what I want; I just am who I am. Image If you’re cis & you’re pretty comfortable in who you are, do you believe you could, if you wanted to, just -decide- to be a different gender tomorrow? Like, if you’re a man, do you think u could just wake up a as woman if you felt like it? Or vice versa?

Well, I couldn’t either.

The new witness tampering is not an accident. It was done brazenly yet AGAIN while people are watching.

Not complying with subpoenas, not complying with mask rules or weapons regs or or or...

These leaders are training their base by example NOT TO COMPLY.

They are preparing. Go ahead: Coerce kids into participating in Christian prayers in public schools. Refuse to fill vital medications. Disrupt LGBTQ+ events. Don't worry; the court will back you. We'll show you how it's done...

I didn’t have GET IN A STREETFIGHT ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE FARM STORE on my 2021 bingo card, but here we are. So let’s back up to the part where I decide I’m sick of eating my own cooking and it’s time to get some fckin ribs.

I’m being cheeky/sarcastic here but I also think the REAL story of these “protect our kids” transphobic bills betrays a deep deep American problem: this idea that activity is professionalized, even for kids, and increasingly what we value is winning, not participation. That in itself is threatening to Americans bc it marginalizes those who “aren’t competitive” in whatever endeavor. But realistically, 99% of kids aren’t going to grow up and be pro in their sport. We justify sports funding on the (true!) idea that participation is salubrious...

I haven’t talked about #qditarod because it just hasn’t been the time for me. But when I arrived in UNK in heat of day, supporters said, “keep going, or they’ll withdraw you.” I couldnt. I promised the dogs rest, and it didn’t feel right. Our trust means more than any race judge. Now I am crying you guys. I’m literally crying even typing about #qditarod. Because those dogs are amazing. Every single step of the way, they were confident and present and trusting. I wanted to travel with them forever. It has been one of the greatest joys of my life.

Happy birthday to my undergrad philosophy prof, @HarryBrighouse1. My understanding of kids, families, education, & justice comes from studying with him; & it’s changed how I live & how I see others. I’ll never forget when he noticed my dog who’d been attending seminar for months. Baruch was a Very Good Dog.

(here he is in his older age with BFF Alli, who raised him with me.)

Hi friends! I want to introduce you to some other friends of mine. I think you’ll like each other very much. As you know, I’ve had the opportunity to train in Alaska with the legendary Raymie Redington and his dogs. I can’t wait to go on an adventure with them.

People wonder why I'd want to appear--especially appear naked--on an unscripted documentary series (aka "Reality TV"), when #trans people have had so many negative experiences in the media, our stories given shallow treatments and exploited for dramatic effect. 1/? But if I'm honest, I wasn't drawn to appearing on @NakedAndAfraid despite the nudity requirement--it was an alluring feature.

I felt, as a trans guy, that stripping down would be a relief, a way to get it over with & just finally say the unsayable, widely and publicly.

You guys, do not eat Starbucks Via powder straight from the packet. Simply bc you're in a pinch and don't want to mix it with blue Gatorade.

Shoutout to the children in soap operas for being so earnest and deep, and speaking in turn, in complete sentences. You seem to love nothing more than heart-to-hearts where you encourage your single parents to pursue their love interests. May you ever be your best selves. The soap kids are so pure. They were so worried about not having a trinket to leave in the geocache box, and the girl gave her beloved necklace she needed to let go of for Reasons, and the boy understood the importance. I am totally shipping this blended family.
