🍉🏳️‍⚧️ Otto Octavius is trans 🏳️‍⚧️🍉

Just in case I don't make it I called my doctor and said would there be another appointment for the provider for testosterone prescriptions. She said tomorrow would be the closest because the doctor won't be back in another 4 months or next year and I cried on phone because what the heck.

So I need enough to make a trip there tomorrow!!! I need my testosterone!! I'm in withdrawal and it's really taking a toll on my body and mental state.

So please help me make enough to get to my trip tomorrow so I can get my Testosterone or else I have to wait next year for it 😭

So first, let's clear a common misconception: no, President Abraham Lincoln did not love Black people nor see them as human equals. At best he was centrist about it (though, even his implication that 'exceptional' Black men ought to vote got him assassinated).

"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do, it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union...I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free."

The "freeing of slaves" after the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 was meant to kneecap the economic and military powers of the seceded South. Lettuce stop making a white savior figure out of Lincoln, or thinking that my people's shackles were unchained via anything other than desperate war strategy and extreme violence. Think on that, for a moment.

That being said!

But not everyone in Confederate territory would immediately be free. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.

Cops don’t belong at pride events. Cops are historically and presently the enemy of LGBTQ people. Cops are historically and presently the enemy of black women, men, and children. Cops are historically and presently the enemy of black trans women. Cops are historically and presently the enemy of black lesbians. Inviting cops to your pride events is inviting violence to your pride events. Allowing cops to be present at your pride events is allowing violence to be present at your pride events. The presence of cops at pride events is a message to people historically and presently targeted by cops that they are not welcome at pride events.

This is not an issue of “a few bad apples.” This is not about needing better training, or more sensitivity seminars, or better outreach to communities. There are no good cops. If good cops existed, they would be the leaders of these protests. If good cops existed it would be easy to root out the bad cops, because those good cops would be telling the world about the abhorrent acts that those bad cops commit. If good cops were meant to exist, there wouldn’t be so many examples of cops who’ve been fired because they named the abuse and violence committed by their coworkers. There is no way to be a “good cop” and to remain a cop. That picture you’re about to link of cops kneeling in “solidarity” with protesters is meaningless propaganda. I know from seeing this locally in my own city and from seeing verified accounts of this in countless other cities across the U.S.: the cops in that picture are about to teargas, beat, and arrest protestors without any provocation. If cops actually wanted to act in solidarity, they would put down their weapons, remove their riot gear, and walk away. If cops actually wanted to act in solidarity, they would stop being cops, in the same way that you or I would stop working for any company or employer who allowed and encouraged violence and racism.

Cops don’t belong at pride events.

I don’t care if your brother, your father, your mother, your best friend, or whoever else is a cop. I don’t care if your girlfriend is a cop. There are no good cops. If this statement makes you angry, if it makes you want to defend your cop friends and cop family, I’d like to encourage you to step outside of your hurt feelings, look around you, and consider what it means that your loved one is willing to be a part of this. If you’re getting geared up to write a comment that includes the words “not all cops,” “all lives matter,” or anything referencing looting, please know that, if it were up to me, you wouldn’t be allowed at pride events either. 

You matter and always will be loved, never forget this. 

and like. do we have to keep gently phrasing things to protect naturally-thin people's feelings. in my life it has never been fashionable to be fat. "fat" is still a bad word. there has never been institutional power pushing people to gain weight; no trillion-dollar industry to "fix" skinny people. a larger body type has never been over-represented in models, influencers, celebrities. sure, people might say "i'm worried for your health," but they do it with respect and gentleness, like they're talking to a scared deer.

every single fucking time i talk about this, i have to be so careful with what i say, in case i offend even one skinny person. it is just true that skinny people have social capital across many cultures. there is a reason you almost never hear someone say "i wish i was fat," but you will constantly see people say "I wish i was thin." and yet inevitably some skinny person will tell me: i thought you wanted body positivity. it is the same fucking attitude as when a cis man says "when you say men have power, well, i've been bullied for being a man. i thought you believe in mental health awareness. don't you know men have a higher suicide rate?"

two things can be true at once: your experience being bullied for being thin was terrible. and people with larger bodies probably have it worse.

i have been big and small. i know many other people who have been big and small. trust what i'm about to tell you: being small is much easier. the world is kinder to you. people treat you better. honestly, this pattern occurs pretty much regardless of gender - my guy friends have confided that they'd rather be bullied for being thin than be bullied for being fat. if you're skinny, the pressure might be to gain weight, sure, but it's often to do so in a way that keeps you skinny - to gain muscle, specifically.

thinness is seen as innate and natural, genetic. whereas carrying any fat - that is a moral failing. it is assumed to be related to your character, your personality. i have seen people equate it to discipline, to hygiene. that bias is why we need to talk about this.

If you've been considering buying my prints, subscribing to my Patreon, or just supporting me with a cup of coffee - I'd be very, very grateful! I'm facing major dental work, including a root canal, so I'd like to raise some funds for that!

There will be new designs for sale soon and I'm also planning to open commissions in early July! I'll post all info about them asap! Thank you all so much 💛
