the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Truly believe that riding the subway or bus and being forced to see many other people living their lives differently than you or finding kinship in random strangers is Good For You, even if I know it’s corny lol

Thanks for reading. Please consider a one time tip if you enjoy the comics. No worries if you can’t 🙏 I’m starting a gofundme soon called “be my supportive surrogate spouse with a tech job” ko-fi.com/derekmballard

Hot take but the thing that digital comics needs is an agreed-upon epub standard that supports high quality images & a consistent reading experience, and that is easy for all publishers and vendors to adopt and support. Competing closed platforms only work for large pubs w/ captive audiences.

putting together a thread of Black trans mutual aid funds / orgs since it’s Juneteenth and also the government is going all in on trying to drive trans people out of existence and Black trans people, specifically Black trans women, are at the heart of queer and trans organizing in the US:

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

vance has got to be the most cucked vp of all time. absolutely no power, completely subservient to a sundowning blowhard and an unelected nazi sleaze, so bored of waiting around for grandpa to give him something to do that he’s organizing forum raids like goons dropping in on habbo hotel

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

theres all sorts of problems with trans and trans allies alike arguing against transphobia, growing casual transphobia, harmful legislature, etc, namely that we focus on the facts and on research, which is like.. i mean our opinion should be based in that, but not our rhetoric. facts don't convince.

Something the Skrmetti decision drives home: "Puberty blockers" should be abandoned as a goal; the goal should be HRT for any minor that wants it; puberty blockers should be a tool for minors who choose themselves they need more time to decide and nothing else. Compromising achieved nothing, here

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.
