let's hear it for the nonbinary folks who:

don't present androgynously

use "binary" pronouns in any capacity

identify partially with a binary gender

have a "gendered" name

don't experience body dysmorphia

don't experience gender dysphoria

DO experience gender dysphoria/body dysmorphia but aren't sure what gender or body would suit them

just experience body/gender apathy instead

can't be open about their gender identity yet

you're all absolutely valid.

don't ever feel like you're "not nonbinary enough" because you absolutely are! 💖

I am always mesmerized by editors using a song for their edit that PERFECTLY matches a character's backstory. It's so satisfying.

Especially when I relate to the song, too. So then I relate to the character even more and AAAAAAAHHHHH-

Exhibit A, by one of my favorite TT editors:

How Chicago helped put the Queen of Grunge back on her throne - Chicago Reader

The writing of Jen B. Larson and a new reissue by Bric-a-Brac Records have burnished the legacy of Seattle band Bam Bam and their powerhouse front woman, Tina Bell.

Leor Galil of the Chicago Reader wrote an article highlighting the work a handful of us have done lifting up the legacy of Tina Bell. In it, he also unearths more information about Tina’s life and Bam Bam’s story. It’s a long, important, and celebratory ready!

It's amazing how different one can feel when coming home from a non-toxic workplace vs. a toxic one.

I feel so much lighter today, lighter and happier than I've felt for MONTHS at my other job.

Ah, the impacts of weaponized capitalism and outdated/ableist workplace policies...I could write an essay. Maybe I should.

You want to call your House rep now and tell them Trump needs to be impeached immediately for defying a Supreme Court order (re: Kilmar Abrego Garcia), which functionally voids our constitution and means no one in America has rights anymore.

I am not exaggerating.

As of now, anybody can be disappeared, no due process, no recourse. Trump is openly disregarding a Supreme Court order and says he’ll send US citizens to El Salvador.

This is not a drill.

Call your House rep and tell them they must impeach. Tell them if they cannot bring themselves to impeach, they must resign. A more open and shut case to impeach is not possible. Trump and his administration are saying openly, in public, that anybody can be kidnapped by ICE, even in error, and disappeared permanently.

Call your senators, too, and tell them to support impeachment (it goes to them once it passes a majority House vote).
