By the time winter comes, many plants lose their leaves and flowers, but there are still evergreen or winter flowering plants that can cause problems for your pet.

There's obviously bigger issues with the way trans women are depicted in media, but a pet peeve of mine is how many of them barely change their name. Like, okay, sure, maybe a newly out girl who is trying to be as inconspicuous as possible would go from, like, Jeff -> Jess or Victor -> Victoria.
But a girl who radically changed her whole look and personality in defiance of the world around her wouldn't change two letters in her name, the writers for the show are just lazy.
Have the name change make sense for the character, c'mon.
Trans women in the UK, you are so loved. You are so, so loved. This may be a huge blow, but we'll recover, we have to. Don't give up, don't ever give up. I love you.
I'm lacking the energy to fill in between bullet points so this is going to be a bare bones kind of thing. I'm thinking about strikes. I'm thinking about sustaining them. I'm thinking about how there's already an established logistical model for food distribution outside of the capitalist framework (in the form of operations like Food Not Bombs, as the first example that comes to mind) but I'm not aware of anything like that for food production. I'm thinking about how my time in the infantry taught me that supply lines are worthless without supplies.
1. A strike is far more likely to succeed if it's backed up by a strike fund.
2. A general strike will not have that critical component available if carried out in our current social order.
3. A federation of mutual aid networks can function as a de facto strike fund.
Therefore 4. I need to radicalize and organize with other "small farmers" in my area to lay a foundation for what we called "sustainment of force" operations when I was a grunt.
There's a lot more to it that I hope to be able to add to this but for now this is a placeholder.
Nader, age 17, can’t go to school right now because he has to survive a genocide instead. He's running this campaign for himself and his brother Abd Al Salam and the rest of their family. Can you donate $10 to help him, or share his campaign? He's #4 on the gazavetters list.

I am writing to you and asking for help in any way to restore what the occupation has destroyed since October 7, 2023, so that my family and I can survive the war and save what remains of our lives because Gaza has become unlivable. There is no longer a suitable place to live. There is no solution other than evacuation to survive. Unfortunately, the price of evacuation from Gaza is very expensive!! We cannot bear these costs. There is no solution but to help you by donating, sharing our story, or praying for us.
I am talking to you, and after thinking for a long time before taking this step, but I realized that there is nothing left for us in Gaza after the occupation destroyed all our possessions, possessions, dreams and future... Therefore, I came to you and I am full of hope from you that your donations will cover the cost of survival and Evacuation to a better life..
The occupation destroyed our home and our dreams and moved me and my family to live in tents after ordering and forcing us to evacuate from northern Gaza.
We currently live in a camp in the Al-Zawaida area, and this is the thirteenth displacement since October 7, 2023, and we struggle daily to obtain clean water, food, and the rest of the necessities of life, despite the high prices that make us struggle more to obtain them..
i think it's so awesome watching my art grow epicly
“there are femboys who are cis men” there are femboys who say they are cis men girl 😭 don’t be dense you know the difference. did you have male privilege when you were trapped in the closet? or is there some magic soul difference between you and all the “cis men” who haven’t come out as trans yet? be for real. stop appealing to magic soul gender. gender analysis has to be material: crossdressers are TMA. crossdressers crossdress for “sex” or for “performance” or for “fetish” or a million different other reasons because it is socially unacceptable to express it in their public lives, even partially, even if they don’t come out as trans women. do you think Eddie Izzard was immune to transmisogyny before a few years ago? Do you think that didn’t affect job opportunities etc?
whether you want to classify these people as victims or perpetrators (or somewhere in between) the fact is that there is a very real social and legal incentive for sissies and crossdressers and femboys and drag queens to draw a line and say "i am still a cis man, i am not one of those trans women" in not so many words. And they benefit from that and sell it and tme people celebrate it in a way they do not when that line is crossed.
this isn't some "magic soul difference" or whatever bad faith argument you're assuming of me; this is just the clear and simple statement that people view and treat feminine AMAB people differently once they say "i am not a man", once we demand to be respected as women.
