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.
@PhoenixSerenity I can believe that
good for you, suffering no cops
a lot of this stuff only serves to make us stronger ✊🏻
@normjess I've put the files into my "Misogynistic Missile Fails" folder 😼
This was during the time I was obsessed with Storm, from the X-Men Marvel series.
@PhoenixSerenity so pretty!
