If you're an American, or anyone else being smeared for speaking out against the Israelis engaging in a genocide against Palestine and Lebanon, I highly recommend engaging with this CSPAN video before it gets taken down. This comes from a former Mossad agent. www.c-span.org/program/publ...
Join us today, 1-4 PM EST, for a Substack Live Donate-athon for our friends Deevon "Wes" La Rue and Elizabeth Silleck La Rue, Esq., who are facing a medical crisis and need our solidarity. Donate, if you have the funds, and please share the funding link if you don’t have the means to contribute.
gender extremist (noun): the white nationalist man who wants to rob you of your bodily autonomy, track your periods, force you to give birth to your rapist’s child, and imprison you for a miscarriage; also rapes children
@repgreglandsman.bsky.social: You betrayed your constituents by supporting this illegal war. Resign!
"I kept thinkin-- 'I wish we’d been this organized when Columbus landed.'" This sentence, from Smoke Signals, carries medicine for us in this moment. Our jobs & govt think we're disposable. Cowardly men seek to annihilate, once more, through "colonization." We don't have to let them. Get together.
If you're horrified by what is happening in the United States, if you don't want to see your neighbors being disappeared and executed in the street, I highly recommend NOT voting conservative. Billionaire cons have stolen our wealth + now manipulate people's resentment toward the underclasses.
We are survivors of a generational curse, each one of us. And it is up to us to break it.
FWIW, the same King Herod "the Great," who ordered the deaths of all male children two years old and younger in Bethlehem and its surrounding districts, died in 4 BC of kidney disease-- with symptoms that included intense itching, intestinal pain, shortness of breath and gangrene of the genitalia.
i can't imagine a woman or gender-expansive person alive who, in the year of audre lorde 2025, thinks: “ah, yes. my appearance is a great shame, and the acceptability of my thoughts to strangers is my highest priority. i must quit writing and become a trad-wife.” abusers reveal their own weakness.
a letter to our dear leader, in acknowledgment of his royal request for fecal aid
if you're an under/graduate + you'd like to effectively pressure university admins into rediscovering their spines, hmu. i'm trans, tenured, and so tired of this bullshit. you deserve a right to a future without fascism. universities holding the line is essential to that future. i'm here to help.
The @brennancenter.org has an important call to action for each of us. The Election Assistance Commission is trying to pull shenanigans to take away our right to vote. We can stop them, and the Brennan Center walks you through how. Link to comment is below: www.regulations.gov/document/EAC...
the term "fascism" makes you think these people are larger than life. in reality, what's happening is domestic abuse at scale. once you see them for what they are, it is easier to act. need more info? peep this resource on the wheel of power and control. www.thehotline.org/identify-abu...
now that’s what i call truth in advertising. if you’re buying from besoz, you’re funding the abduction, torture, and indefinite imprisonment of your neighbors. boycott the brown box.
It's not hard to get students to genuinely engage with course material when your grading is based on radical consent and a refusal of petty pedagogical sanctions. Students turn to AI because they believe their own words don't matter & that they have nothing worth saying. Prove them wrong.
Wild how this country is ready to throw down for Kimmel but not... our neighbors being abducted off the streets by a fascist police force. I mean, whatever gets you there, I guess. But man. The moral compass in this country is for the birds. And I should know.
using the term “left" and “right” are empty terms that describe absolutely nothing about actual human beings; they’re used as shorthand to dismiss complexity + keep people divided. wanna know something about someone? ask what they’ve been worrying about lately that affects their daily lives.
when i feel overwhelmed by the enormous wealth, violence + brutality and wonder how regular people could ever make an impact under such circumstances, i remember: jesus of nazareth was a poor palestinian carpenter, under roman occupation, who changed the world with 12 friends + a bunch of outcasts
Just in case someone is curious those with Stage D heart failure have a typical life expectancy of less than a year.

If you feel stuck in doom-scrolling, like you can’t tear away from your screens, wondering what fresh hell is about to happen next, this is for you. open.substack.com/pub/muppetge...
Just here to point out that grown men rape children with such frequency that they invented a string of euphemisms to culturally cover for themselves. If you don’t use plain speech to describe the evil of someone raping kids: congratulations, you’re an apologist for people who rape kids.
this weirdo is feelin' delighted to have received their first ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review on apple podcasts-- which is pretty neato in my book, because (once more with feeling) it's just me talking to myself in the dark, in my friend's mom's basement bathroom... like a real professional.
if you find yourself feeling buffeted by bullshit these days, maybe this message is for you open.substack.com/pub/muppetge...
Fascists rely on you being stuck in fawn and freeze responses. This is why they're trying to scare you: so you can't help the regime's targets move to safety and so you and your neighbors don't get in formation an fight back with strategic nonviolence. muppetgender.substack.com/p/you-are-ex...
