  • Like I know that what you and your community goes through is just as bad as any other oppression in the world, but at the same time it is kind of funny that transphobes are so afraid of you because they might want to have sex with you.

    It’s the craziest shit, and if it weren’t so dangerous and sad and fucked up it would be so empowering.








  • On my 18th birthday I was homeless and living in a truck.

    But it was okay cuz I was out of a terribly abusive situation and my mental health was improving.

    And I went to my friend’s house only to find out that they had all been arrested for robbing a McDonald’s.

    Truth is, I had known about the robbery after the fact, they had told me about it two days before my birthday.

    I had cautioned my friends that they should not go out and spend the money they had stolen right away, if their activities change and it made them look suspicious, it increased their chances of getting caught.

    This was a small time deal, they each got like $600.

    They went out the very next day and blew it all.

    They were arrested that night after the detective that McDonald’s had hired to follow them kept track of all of their purchases and showed up at their door with the police in tow.

    It’s so pathetic it still makes me cringe.

    So anyway I spent my birthday alone in my truck. It made me sad because you know that was the day I officially became an adult and all these years later I’m kind of still alone so I guess maybe it set a bad precedent that I could not overcome.



  • I bought a massively oversized NASA t-shirt the last time I had to go to JCPenney’s and it’s so fucking comfortable that I’ve literally worn holes into it.

    My ex-girlfriend complained that so many of the pictures that we had taken together had me in this shirt. It was just a comfy shirt and I still have it but it’s probably time for me to find a new one.

    My mom has this belief that there is a high comedy in taking two unrelated things and putting them into the same sentence.

    Shitty example: “She Ichabod my Crane until I jack-o’-lantern”

    The humor of the sentence comes from the person who is listening to you attempting to connect the two parts, and you getting to watch them draw the line.

    This happens because people notice patterns and in a conversation it is the listener’s job to understand what the speaker is saying.

    And this is well and good for the most part but because we have that tendency it’s easy to make horrible mistakes that we have a very difficult time disbelieving because we came to the conclusions ourselves.

    Best case you end up like the no soap radio joke. Worst case, you end up in some sort of like weird Armageddon apocalypse right-wing conspiracy nut group talking about your weird imaginations with other people who also do not have a reality filter on their own imaginations.





  • Actually, if those automatic sensors on doors and paper towel dispensers and sinks have anything to do with it, the darker your skin the more likely you are to be completely ignored by them.

    I’m native American with tan skin and sometimes I’ll stand in front of those fucking sinks waving my hands like a fucking idiot for three full seconds before I can get the water to turn on whereas my pasty ass coworker can walk in front of the God damn things and they just start spraying like 14 year olds at an R Kelly concert.
