Jessica: sorry cousin, I had a boy. We named him Pauli

Benny Gesserit: hey! I’m plottin’ here! 
 We fucked up, the internet was supposed to be a fun weird thing with hamsters dancing and now it’s a thing where you pay bills and your boss spies on you 
 If every trans person vanished tomorrow, every single transphobic troll mocking trans women online would just keep doing the exact same thing to cis women. 

We are just the easiest women to target. #trans 
 Here's a question that shouldn't be too controversial here: 

What Linux distribution should I install and why?

Please boost I'm super curious I'd love to learn what's out there now. 
 Oh hey it's me, the white trans woman with curly brown hair. As it turns out, I just lost my job, which sucks. I'm a mom of two young kids, and am paying some really high rent in the SF Bay Area. 

I'm really optimistic that I can bounce back from this soon, but in the mean time, things are going to be tight. If anyone has anything to offer, it would be a great kindness. Thank you. #mutualaid #trans

 Are you on Matsodon? Do you follow a bunch of trans folks even though you’re not trans? 

Here’s a tip: Spirit Halloweens have opened up and are well stocked with all kinds of wigs you can buy without anyone judging you. #trans 
 Bottom surgery, i.e. making an outdoor cat an indoor cat. 
 I want a city builder where you start with a super dense car-ridden city and you have the challenge to build in green spaces and public transit and stuff to increase the happiness of the residents. 
 My fall fashion advice for new trans femmes is to go jeans shopping. Try Levi’s, try Target, try Old Navy. Try a bunch of styles: high waisted, low, flare, straight. Make a day of it. 

There is potentially a pair out there that when you see yourself in them, it will be a life affirming experience and will forever change how you see your body. #trans 
 You can find incredible joy in some form of gender expression (or lack therof) and you fucking deserve to find and enjoy it. #trans 
 I'm going to add "took the first post-coming-out-as-trans photo of @9fd329bb" to my CV. 

I had no idea all those selfies weren't just celebrations of trans joy, they were TRAINING. 
 Ok but what if we just get doctors to stop assigning gender at birth 
 I’ve really wanted to get into crocheting but it was hard to and so I coughed up the dough for one of those “learn to crochet kits” and omg was it worth it

 There are so many ways to shit on terrible people without resorting to body shaming. 
 I don’t know who needs to hear it tonight but you can just be a girl
