her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

It may sound woo woo but it’s an important skill capitalism and hyper individualism have robbed us of as human beings.

Learn to process your emotions. It will improve your mental health and quality of life. Emotions serve a biological purpose, they aren’t just things that happen for no reason.

1. Pause and notice you’re having a big feeling or reaching for a distraction to maybe avoid a feeling. Notice what triggered the feeling or need for a distraction without judgement. Just note that it’s there. Don’t label it as good or bad.

2. Find it in your body. Where do you feel it? Your chest? Your head? Your stomach? Does it feel like a weight everywhere? Does it feel like you’re vibrating? Does it feel like you’re numb all over?

3. Name the feeling. Look up an emotion chart if you need to. Find the feeling that resonates the most with what you’re feeling. Is it disappointment? Heartbreak? Anxiety? Anger? Humiliation?

4. Validate the feeling. Sometimes feelings misfire or are disproportionately big, but they’re still valid. You don’t have to justify what you’re feeling, it’s just valid. Tell yourself “yeah it makes sense that you feel that right now.” Or something as simple as “I hear you.” For example: If I get really big feelings of humiliation when I lose at a game of chess, the feeling may not be necessary, but it is valid and makes sense if I grew up with parents who berated me every time I did something wrong. So I could say “Yeah I understand why we are feeling that way given how we were treated growing up. That’s valid.”

5. Do something with your body that’s not a mental distraction from the feeling. Something where you can still think. Go on a walk. Do something with your hands like art or crochet or baking. Journal. Clean a room. Figure out what works best for you.

I would love to be a physicist, but I genuinely struggle so much in Phys 1, I think I’d die having it as a profession :,)

(Love anthropology and sociology and psychology and teaching too tho, so 🤷)

We got fall & an artist(the best thing going for me)!

to draw this was a very impulsive decision

All white trans people are privileged. All trans adults are privileged. All trans people living in the imperial core are privileged. All trans capitalists are privileged. All trans neutypical people are privileged. And yes, all transmasculine people are privileged.

Despite my lack of privilege in income and property, I still hold privilege in whiteness, and that has in the past been a life or death privilege to hold.

Exposure kills. I know I got under a roof before winter. There are many women who I cannot say did. I don't know if they survived.

Theres a sociology concept called intersectionality where your identity and social status are determined by multiple areas of socialization (basically things like family, media, education, community and anything that you are exposed to)

Because of this, someone who is a trans, white, and neurotypical adult is more privileged than a neurodivergent, trans child of color.

There will always be people above, below, and to the side of you on the social hierarchy--even those you share one or more social identities with. No matter how high or how low you get. There is always someone with more opportunities and less opportunities.

Now, im not saying that this is right, nor to accept this reality. We need to end of prejudice and discrimination in all its forms. But, it is still something that exists, even if you dont always immediately see or think about it. Pushing this fact aside or even outright refusing it is extremely damaging and dismissive to the struggles of those lower and horizontal to where you stand socially.
