I have a new policy when @psotle is sat opposite me on a train.

See her
Say her
Smooch her.

Sorted.

Absolutely gutted for Cabo Verde... They deserved to go the distance and the penalties lottery.
The players should hold their heads high as this was the greatest game at this tournament.
This was the game of their lives and they deserved more.

I'm going up t'Morrisons (supermarket for non UKians).
Anyone want anything while I'm gone?

The Snuggle™ and The Struggle™ are Real.

I was having Big Snuggles with Her Maj today, stretched out on my hip, head down. Totally chillin'

The struggle was getting her to disengage.
The traditional butt tap didn't rouse her to movement.
The leg wiggle got her to get up, before sitting back on my leg in the upright position.

At this point I'm getting concerned I might miss my bus so had to actively shoo her off my leg and down the sofa.

That's hard work when you're still adjusting to wakefulness.

Still. I'm at work. On time.
Now vibing, grabbing the morning cold coffee and prepping for the day ahead.

Tomorrow, she can have All The Morning Snuggles, so I promise I'll make it up to her...

So yesterday was the last day of Pride... And look what showed up?

I’m Not Brave. I’m Alive.

#ThingsYouCantUnsay #trans #DangerousAir #AddressingCisFolks

I will never live in a world where I cannot be hunted by the state for being trans. I, personally, by name and face. My transition is a matter of public record, my name is in a government database. There’s no hiding.

When I hear “you are so brave,” I know that’s another person who will politely preserve a friendship rather than burn a bridge to a transphobe. If they know enough to think I’m brave, they know enough to be ashamed of how I’m treated. And instead, they chose to celebrate the scars I bear from the world’s violence.

I’m not brave. I’m alive. I survived the genocide of my people, for now. But I’ve already died of it.

“You are so resilient.” Why me? Why not my siblings who died in the closet, never hearing their own names? Why don’t they count? When cis people congratulate me on my survival, it reminds me of how many others died.

Genocide includes early deaths. I lost 37 years to the genocide of my people - I died in the genocide of trans people.

One day I’ll die, again. My martyrdom is a forgone conclusion - all oppressed people die martyrs. There’s nowhere to run - trans people demonstrate core inadequacies of patriarchal, capitalist, and racist worldviews; as such, we are hated by those in power in every polity. I could break ties with my community, hide who I am, and go back in the closet, but there are easier and less painful ways to murder myself.

“Not all cis people.” All cis people know trans people. How many of them protect those trans people? How many of them are even safe enough to *know* the trans people around them?

I hate being called brave. Resilient. Strong. For what? Insisting on being myself? The alternative was death. And to what end should I be brave, and strong, and resilient? So that someone else, some cis person, does not have to stand up to another cis person and insist that I should have extremely basic human rights?

Cis people, should I adjure you to be brave, resilient, and strong? Should I ask you to stand up to each other on behalf of trans people? To center our needs as an act of repair and solidarity?

Or would that be a waste of breath?

If you cannot do that, at least do me the courtesy of sparing me the applause for not yet having been murdered.

“You are so strong.” Because you chose not to be.

A few points of order:

1) if you have brainweasels/brainworms and if you can find me... (Try the Passenger Assist Lounge at Man Pic) Maybe you can hire... The Haj Team! * Cue inspirational music while me & Blåhaj whack brainweasels & other bad brain things*

2) it's still morning. Good morning lovely peoples! 👋

3) DE & NL out of the football thingy (wtf! 😯)

4) wouldn't you like a tasty, tasty crumpet with delicious topping of your choice?

5) I don't think I can think of a 5th thing so, um... Have a good day & Be Excellent to one another.

Alas I was not in a position to adopt today, but I could ensure they all were in prime cuddling position.
