LAST DAY for public comments on anti-trans passport rules

Today (Monday) is the LAST DAY to public-commentc-protest Trump/Musk anti-trans passport rules.

You’ve got ’til 9PM CASCADIAN/PACIFIC or Midnight EASTERN time to make public comments against Musk and Trump’s hate.

There are THREE open public comment sections. If you use the ACLU’s site, it’ll cover all three. But if you want to do it directly, you can. Just do it all three places.

Here’s the ACLU’s comment relay site. It also links directly to the individual comments sections.

Go. Do.

I know better than to doom scroll on #Mastodon.

I'll disable the app on my #GrapheneOS phone and see how long I can go without using it. Sure, I could still doom scroll on my #Laptop or #Desktop running #Debian, but that's not the point.

Instead, I'm challenging myself to redirect my energy towards reading about Debian, Anarcho-syndicalism, and things that interest me.

Today was enough, and I'm taking control.

Let's see how this experiment goes.

Now leading Chloe’s chant: we’re here, we’re trans, and we’re not going anywhere!

“I don’t want the rest of these people to be treated the way I am on a daily basis.”

“I am transgender. I know we’re not all transgender here, but by the power invested in me by absolutely nobody, I declare all cisgender people here today to be honorary trans for the day.” — Chloe Schwenke

(Lots of cheers)

Yup, I'm in love with Debian, GrapheneOS, LGBTQIA+ rights, and Anarcho-syndicalism, and I frequently post about these topics.

Happy #Saturday everyone!

這一集真的笑中帶淚，金句連發～

我們那時的國民義務教育還沒有性平教育，婚姻相關的討論和思考也比較少，看朋友們走過的感情路和婚姻生活，鬼故事不少；也才明白家庭和社會的桎梏與情感的交相牽絆，多難。

現在這個時代相信多一點公開討論和交流，可以少走很多人生的皮肉痛。

還有，男同志面對慾望和感情的務實調整，值得好好學習啊～

Interview: “Imperialism & Totalitarianism Go Hand in Hand”

M. Gessen on Trump’s Policies at Home & Abroad

"Trump has entered his second term prepared to enact his radical Project 2025 agenda, including a crackdown on LGBTQ rights & dissent.

"While he was something of an accidental president in his first term, Trump has been transformed by power & is now increasingly imperialist & totalitarian.”
