Rolling into summer with a few snapshots of Trans Rolling into summer with a few snapshots of Trans Pride. I'm overjoyed that I get to share this space and time with my loves @tamjguy and @squiddished and my dearest friend Jordan. We danced, we collaged, we ate boxed lunches and talked loudly about kink with random new friends in the library. I had the immense pleasure of teaching my "Get Your Flirt On" class for the first time in many years. All of it was amazing. So grateful to be part of this community, to call DC my home, to call the trans community my community, and to call these beautiful people MINE. ❤️
Now is not the time to shy away from bold, innovat Now is not the time to shy away from bold, innovative tax policy to address a shrinking budget due to Congressional interference. With significant cuts looming to this year’s budget and a potential delay in tax collections, we must explore options that the Mayor and Council have been unwilling to try, including revenue raisers and raising taxes for DC’s wealthiest, so that we can restore progressive tax policies like the Child Tax Credit. Mayor Bowser/Chairman Mendelson: Support FBC's Fair Taxes & Public Deals recommendations to ensure DC has an equitable and fair approach to taxes that serves to reverse racial inequities.

Despite 2024 being a political clusterfuck, it was Despite 2024 being a political clusterfuck, it was full of absolutely beautiful moments for me personally.

The latest research on hormone replacement therapy The latest research on hormone replacement therapy for people in perimenopause and menopause is truly LIFE CHANGING. Significant protection against multiple types of cancer demonstrated, as well as major quality of life improvements.

I have been asking a lot of people lately if they I have been asking a lot of people lately if they identify as disabled. People who clearly recognize the ways in which normative society is not built for them, in which they have created coping mechanism or found community that better embraces their needs. Most of them say they are not disabled. For a lot of people this comes down to not utilizing accommodations. People seem to believe they are not disabled and cannot be part of this community if they don't seek access services or accommodations. For this I have a lot of thoughts: 1. Accomodations are a limited tool which do not encompass or respond to all of the needs we have as disabled people. If you've ever thought, "I would do so much better on tests if someone stopped me before turning them in and said, 'did you double check your answers?' If you've ever wished you had a job where the working hours were 7p-2a when you're at your sharpest? Those are accomodations. Just not ones society is able to give us in its current structure. 2. Just because you get by in the system as it's built today, doesn't mean you couldn't benefit from accommodations. 3. You do not need a traditional accommodation to be disabled. Disability reflects a significant impairment in a person's ability to carry out a task(s) of daily living. If your depression sometimes makes it hard to convince yourself to brush your teeth, that's affecting a task of daily living. If you're ADHD means that your food rots in the fridge because you forget that it's there, that's affecting a task of daily living. You may not be planning on doing anything about these impairments. You may not find them to be a "big deal." You still experience disability. I think some people consider identifying as disabled when they are not "struggling" as a kind of stolen valor. Like they're taking up space in a community where they don't belong. I'd like to reframe this conversation into one where disabled identity brings you into coalition for political goals, rather than competition for scarce resources. Does this change anything about how you see yourself?
