There's a petition to ban conversion practices (targeting LGBTQIA+ people) in the European Union. We need one million signatures, and we currently have 180,000+. If you live in Europe (even if you don't), spread the word ! 🌈🔥✊ eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#...

Urgent trans and nonbinary update: I called a passport office and got a sympathetic rep who told me officially any information about gender markers is posted online. Unofficially, they literally whispered, they have heard the same rumors about passports being confiscated.

The app Libby pairs with your local library, and you can read/listen to audio books in the app or send the books to your e-reader. Libraries are an amazing tool, and we should, as a collective society, patronize them obsessively during these 4 years because the alt-right is attacking education.

Trans artists, cover designers, editors, sensitivity readers, et al: Drop a link/info below so people can commission you. Cis authors, TTRPGers, et al: Show your solidarity the way it counts: hire someone from this thread to work on your next book or character art.

Decided that with everything going on right now, we deserved some pretty scenery. First time in a while I spent a few hours just hand painting a background. #Setthescene #landscapeart #escapism #wewontbackdown #forest

Very old advice—but if you are taking down Nazi, white supremacist, and and pro-genocide signs/papers—be sure to scrape them off with a tool because there is a good chance razor blades are taped in the back. You will cut get, and bleed pretty heavily; so use keys, pocketknives, and metal objects.

Okay, here’s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action. If you’re following me, it’s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.

Hi I don’t talk about my job but it seems there’s going to be a big deportation swipe going down tomorrow so this is important! Lush stores are safe havens. They are able to hold anyone seeking safety in their backroom if needed. We have signs telling us what to say/don’t say to ICE
