In 2016, I had dyed white hair with purple streaks for a few months. I got it done very cheaply, at local hairdressing school.
@Shanmonster Thanks! It was a huge hair makeover.
@PhoenixSerenity you're fabulous in a thousand looks, Q B
@normjess And I hate fascists with every single one of my looks ✊️
@PhoenixSerenity you are a fascist hating machine
and far more importantly, you do shit about it ✊🏻 xx
@normjess Which is also why I think it's bad hilarious when anyone accuses me of helping any fascists. Ignorant fuckeronis.
@normjess My parents supported me because they didn't create an apathetic bystander.
@PhoenixSerenity my parents didn't support me. they didn't understand me
I'm this in spite of them
@normjess I'm grateful that you made spite your friend, to deal with being misunderstood ✌️❤️✊️
@PhoenixSerenity I'm not half the epic warrior you are
I'm a reclusive trans woman, writing words on a screen
I'd be more harm to the resistance than help. I'm problematic as fuck. I'm helping them by not helping them
@normjess I actually really appreciate folks who know themselves very well & avoid hard frontlines. It's better to know yourself well & contribute in other ways - there's so many other ways to help out. I had to send more than a couple people home because they're not suitable for hard frontlines work & we don't have capacity/energy to babysit newbies. We can't have anyone who will break down in less than a month of heavy direct actions. It's better that they do other resistance work.
@PhoenixSerenity oh, I'm a fighter. I've been that for a very long time. you have to be if you're trans and poor
I just have a checkered past and a lot of enemies
the fascists are always looking for ways to discredit movements. they'd use me
@normjess I understand. I'm on government watch lists & have been for decades. I'm older & stopped giving a fuck because no matter what I do or don't do - the target is never removed from my back. I just can't do hard frontlines at the moment because of my family caregiving responsibilities.
@normjess Cops showed up at our house last year because a wankerbutternoodle(Chad) in Edmonton swatted me. He lied to cops & entire Fediverse about not being involved & a lot of folks here believed him. He told local cops that I was planning to burn their PD to the ground - a total lie. I'm unfortunately used to privileged white guys trying to swat/bully & I don't tolerate it. I told the cops off. They left as fast as they arrived. The swatting failed to shut me up. It worked with making me get even louder.
This was during the time I was obsessed with Storm, from the X-Men Marvel series.
@PhoenixSerenity so pretty!
