I know there's folks who've been following me a while who wonder why I go on about alt text amid the horrors but to me, it's all 1 thing. Whether it's masking, honoring trans people, providing government services to people who rely on them... it's all about empathy and community. It's all connected.

Haven't shared a fundraiser for a while. It's close to payday for many, so if you can't give now, share, and maybe pick a fundraiser come payday to pass a little on to.

This IS "Gender Critical" ideology. This is everything they've been building to. For them sex is just a magical essence and the reality of your body is meaningless

The memorial for #RobertLouisStevenson in #PrincesStreetGardens is very plain and humble in comparison to some of the other monuments around the city honouring other authors and poets. It simply reads: A Man of Letters, RLS, 1850-1895. But sometimes there's true beauty in simplicity. It does 1/3

From my recent experience, the police took me to the local city jail (credit to HBPD, they were polite and professional the entire time), where they searched me and put me in a cell. Then I had to wait while they figured out what I was getting charged with (disrupting an assembly)

I got an email this morning from a couple named Eric and Joanna Reuter who found a snake in their basement. They used one of my comics to help determine that it was a North American Racer and not a more common ratsnake. The photos are so, so cute

It appears that Afghans who fought side by side with U.K. special forces have been blanket vetoed for immigration to the UK - because they could probably then be called as witnesses to British war crimes. In case you were still under the illusion that the U.K. are automatically the good guys.

Today's #AuctionHouseArtefact is the WW1 medals of Neil Shaw Mackinnon from Leith. His wartime career was brief but eventful, hallmarked by bravery and a run of luck ending in tragedy; less than 3 weeks after he received his DSC 🎖️ he would disappear with his ship into the Irish Sea. A thread 🧵▶️

Okay, so at the request of the lovely @trance.bsky.social , I'm going to tell a story about what happens when a shitty person is "just joking", and then discovers there are consequences. AKA That Time Kat Started An Antifascist Hallway Riot In The Third Grade. Grab your beverage of choice.

Not true. I'll give you some examples of when styles crossed over from womenswear to menswear, and how men have worn straight-up womenswear or just feminine styles in cool ways. 🧵

Backlash is a myth made up by reactionary bigots to explain why they’re doing what they’ve always wanted to do anyway. The left in America has been on the back foot for…ever. Literally forever. The closest we got was the New Deal and even that was designed to keep us from going full socialist.

Bandcamp lets us keep 85% of revenue. That is the best rate of anybody out there. Over a period of about 15 years, I have taken home ~$3000. Every album is "pay what you want", so you all rock. If you bought an album for $5 then you gave me more than streaming the whole album ~300 times.

Targeting trans people, Black people, immigrants etc is not a “distraction” from fascism, it IS fascism. It lives in complementary relationship to destroying democracy, because democracy is inherently about participation of minorities.

Just a reminder that Germany was the center of scientific progress until the Nazis suppressed, drove away, or killed all the non-Nazi scientists.
