The bullet hole in my wall is directly opposite where my head would have been if I'd been at my computer. I had laid down 30 minutes earlier for a nap after a fatigue wave.

I was seriously just almost shot. There was a shooting on our street. Our house took a stray bullet. There's a bullet hole in my wall two feet from where I was. There's a fucking bullet hole in my wall. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Sometimes I hate being Trans. I was majorly harassed again last night and the guy who harassed me threatened to follow me when I left. All because I walked into a gas station to get a snack.

"You can't let yourself fall into despair."

Yeah I realize you all think you're being inspiring when you say stuff like that but you always tend to say it to people who are suffering worse than you are. That's victim blaming and proof that many of you do not actually care about the suffering.

Yeah, I do. Ska is simultaneously fun music that is also pretty socially conscious. What's there not to like?

Hi. Ask me anything, you all. I wanna connect with people. Please.

Trump's armed forces are being told the war in Iran is being set up to usher in the Second Coming and Armageddon. What the actual fuck? Impeach our mad president now!

Again, I will not be participating in Trans Day of Visibility this year. The risk for all of us is too great. Now is the time to protect our communities. Visibility has not made any of us safer, and indeed, we are at far greater risk than we were five years ago. Or even a year ago.

The amount of victim blaming I'm seeing against particularly Trans women on social media right now is infuriating. The fact that most of all of you don't really see us as people worth saving is apparent.

fuck so many things including mercury retrograde, ICE, the US government starting wars again, the State of Kansas, TERFs, fascists, bigots, anti-Trans panic, and all the other things that make life so needlessly difficult.

Ugh I'm sorry you're dealing with that. I hate that med

us should be enough reason to fight back against the Right. But it's not. Never has been. It sucks to have been screaming for help for years and to continually be ignored, and at best, be seen as a stepping stone to the Right taking more rights away.

We are the easiest target, yeah, not only because of the moral panic the Right has created about us, but also because the Left largely ignores us. We have always been seen as an acceptable casualty. Even if the Right weren't planning to strip more rights from more people, the fact it's happening to

Trans women are targeted by legislation far more often than other Trans people, and we get shouted down when we point that out.

While you're not entirely wrong, the law in question is directed at specifically Trans women. Other Trans and nonbinary individuals will be caught up in it, but it is made to specifically hurt Trans women. Calling it a "test run" isn't inaccurate, but it kind of ignores whom it's designed to hurt.

Fuck the State of Kansas. Kansas invented a fake problem and then decided to punish a minority group for it.

I think we should bring back "Okay, Boomer" but say it to conservative Gen Z males.

This is your periodic reminder that cops suck and all cops are bastards, always.

Exactly.

I loathe when someone says "Do you really think governmental programs help people?" As a former recipient of Medicare, yeah, that helped me quite a bit. Your nihilistic attitude toward all forms of government is your own delusional thinking.

So the Right is astroturfed by both agitators in other countries AND the White House itself? I'm shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

When they say how we'd all be better off without it. No, not all of us would. Losing social media reach is akin to losing employment for many of us. It was for me.

income for things like food, doctor visits, clothes, and other basic necessities. I gave up on my transition care years ago at this point. That's right. I've not been on HRT in two years.

So I get frustrated when I see multiple people in a single day talking about how social media doesn't matter.

someone in my position can do to generate income at all. My previous social media reach is the only reason I'm not currently unhoused or dead at this point. I'm fortunate enough to live in a situation now where I'm no longer constantly worried about housing, but the fact is, I now have very little

So obviously I've lamented about losing my reach on Twitter and then losing access to Threads entirely. I want to explain why reach is so important for someone like me. When you're totally disabled, as I pretty much am with my CFS, income is sparse and sporadic. Social media is often the only thing

Yeah, they disabled my account again. The AI flagged me as a bot. Irony.

So now I'm cut off from a large portion of the community, again, through no fault of my own.

I really wish this app were more active and not as stagnant as it is. I just got flagged as a bot on Threads, again, for being too good at their platform. I didn't do anything against TOS, but I got flagged anyway for being "suspicious" because I'm interesting enough to get 100 followers in a day.

So I'm deciding to try again on Threads. You can find me over there at threads.com/@hyper.drive.mona.lisa
