The Point of it All

We (trans people; trans women) are more visible now than at any time in my life so far. The national, even global spotlight has turned on us. What will we do with this? It is horrifying, it is deadly, and I am convinced it is still an opportunity. To do what, I am not sure. I am still trying to figure that out. I am twenty-five years old, but for a second, just a second, please let me write like I am eighteen: There is something I am here to do, and if I do it right, the whole world will see. Everything will be different. I feel the weight of Duty. I move with Grace. I want something that is ours. So much of transness feels like a necessary reaction to cis society and the violence it inflicts on us. I have been told, repeatedly, that nothing exists outside of context. Very, very often I see the type of thinking that goes “I am a monster because this is what you made me out to be. I am reclaiming and finding power in this.” I think that’s great. It’s not what I’m doing. There is something internal, essential, and immune to their violence. It is something they cannot understand, because to understand it necessitates being something like us. It is ours, it is not in reaction, and it is what I talk about and think we can reach through Eyes. There’s a divinity in the world now, and its limbs are Eyes and Teeth. It's attractive to a certain type of freak, and it tells you that you’re divine, too. It’s a gathering point, a beacon – and if you come closer you’ll see that you’re not the only moth drawn to this particular flame. It doesn’t ask for blind obedience, but to take this body you’ve been given and use it – to see, create, rend and tear, cry, be broken and be whole. It asks you to open yourself to others, to let them echo within you. It tells you to ask for more, to be more, to change and be changed in turn. It says there are yet stranger shores beyond the horizon, and that we can go there, together. It asks for insight, and courage to act on that insight. It’s something you have to choose. The components have been there from before history began, from the first of us to ever exist. Now, they begin to coalesce into something larger, something still unfolding. If we didn’t find this, you or someone like you would’ve. It is inevitable; it is a choice. There is a role for you to play, if you come and take it. Will you join us? Are you scared yet? I’m scared, too.

MUTUAL AID REQUEST!!!

A few friends of mine in Brazil are in a super shit situation, literally being targeted by a police affiliated gang, and need help relocating ASAP

They need a new place to live, quickly. The sum is large, but it will give them enough to both finance an apartment thru a federal loan program, and to ensure they have an emergency fund to cover contingencies. Once they move, they will both be living away from their families of origin. They need every bit of this.

Chat does this go hard? Kill a fascist for tdov

kinda fucked up how doing "blood rituals" doesnt absolve you of "doing the dishes"

the blood ritual gives you strength for impossible tasks such as the mundane...
