So lets just be clear about all this 'free speech' shit from #meta

One of the stated goals of the incoming administration is to eradicate #trans people. https://www.vice.com/en/article/leaked-emails-reveal-an-anti-trans-holy-war/

Not 'protect the children' or 'maintain family values.' They want us GONE. And they've been saying this out loud, to cheering crows for YEARS.

zuck knows the wind is blowing due-fascism and that if he doesn't suck cheeto colored dick his little empire will go the way of tiktok within 6 months.

So while he can't endorse the eradication of #lgbtqia ppl (yet) he *can* start allowing other ppl to endorse it on his platforms.

Same way musky can just let nazis exist on his platform knowing they'll spread his dipshit ideology and chase off anyone left of center, effectively silencing us.

Because when someone says they want a space for all animals, yet they put cats and mice in the same cage you end up with only cats.

Next up is classifying #transgender people as inherently pornographic, meaning showing or talking about us will violate the TOS of any social media, and bar us from businesses, schools, or govt buildings on pain of being classified as a sex offender.

once arrested, all your healthcare comes from state funds, and multiple states already have new laws on the books banning the use of state funds for gender affirming care - which means as soon as you've been arrested you're forcibly detransitioned.

Since untreated dysphoria kills more than half of us the 'problem' of our existence will then take care of its self.

Before you think I'm exaggerating this is already active legal practice in florida. https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/florida-judge-allows-state-prison-officials-to-withhold-medical-care-for-transgender-incarcerated-people

As the fash tighten their fist on whats left of our failed state hrt and surgeries will stop being covered by insurance and eventually outright outlawed.

By then gay marriage, interracial marriage, and birth control of any kind will already be on the chopping block.

I have no idea how to stop any of this. There was a chance back in november to slow it but enough americans are black souled apathetic shitheads that they used what little power they still had to make sure this all happens even faster.

My family barely has enough funds to stay housed and alive right now, let alone to flee and start over in another country. And frankly, where tf could we go that isn't already on this path?

capitalism is just #fascism with more steps, and we're well past those extra steps.

Rocks on ice pedestals on the Castner Glacier, with the O'Brien Icefall visible in the background. The rocks insulate the ice beneath them, causing the surrounding ice to melt faster.

#Writever 2401.2 — Whiskers

How many years was it since I adopted this family of two-legged monsters? I'd trained them well to feed me on demand and provide me a warm bed and reliably clean litter. In return, I kept their house free of cockroaches and sometimes left a fresh bird on their doorstep.

It took me all this time to figure out the sounds they'd been babbling at me were actually a name! My mother had named me Flash Claws because no kitten was faster.

My monster family had named me, "Whiskers."

How much more demeaning could it be to be named for a body part that every cat had in common? Not much.

I. Was. Soooo. INSULTED.

I immediately took it out on the roll of paper the two-legs mounted for me to get my frustrations out, but the folds of white did nothing to ease my frustration. I walked by my scratching post and took it out on the sofa instead, but that wasn't enough.

Whiskers? REALLY?

The female monster with her kittens left the house, and I thought maybe I'd give her a scratch. I rushed out the cat door. I stopped quickly when she dropped her set of metal door openers. I snatched the keys and jumped back through the cat door.

The thumping on the door was gratifying, but then there was the male, who'd probably come up with the ridiculous name because he was just that stupid. He often sprawled on the sofa—the one I'd just scratched my frustration out on—containers of smelly liquid sometimes foaming all over him, watching his flicker box and farting when nobody was looking, right in front of me where I could smell it. Like an old dog. Many were the times he'd not let me sleep on his stomach. So uncouth.

I loped into the room with the bed and the clothes, selecting a nice white shirt. I dragged it to my litter box.

I peed on it, before trying to bury it.

Whiskers, though? REALLY?
