Therapist: What do we say to people to let them know we’re welcoming them into our lives? Me: What good is it to me that you're here now? Where where you twenty years ago, ten years ago? How dare you, how dare you come to me now, when I am this? Therapist: No.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

When ordered by Nazis to give lists of disabled people by disability severity, some doctors sent back exaggerated data to protect patients from forced work They didn't know that the "most disabled" were to be killed first The moral here isn't to tell the truth It's to never co-operate with Nazis

Gonna need more non-disabled people to see stuff like this and understand that ableism is also one of the integral -isms the right is devoted to, so it should be jettisoned whenever and in whomever you encounter it

Not sure why we’re assuming that gutting disability programs is an accident but I guarantee you this wasn’t a whoopsie of language use, it was a very intentional attack on the disabled.

exhausting as liberal democracy is, I feel it is vital for us queer and trans people to fight for its survival because it is also the system of government that tends to be least interested in killing us by a very wide margin

keep in mind that they didn't just say fuck disabled people (which should be enough, but). they also said fuck rural communities. shout it to the rooftops, folks

Living in a more rural area with a lower cost of living means I can do comics and art full-time. It also means I'm very reliant on the post office to receive stuff I can't purchase locally. Not only would Trump's plans make it untenable to live here, it would also kill MY business - Patreon, etc.

Between the "don't complain about money if you choose to be an artist, get a real job instead" people and the "you sold your soul in trying to make art into a career, selling art is the downfall of all creativity" people I swear artists can't win

And we got finger-wagged by a New England journo "expert" for not staying in our lane and sticking to our knitting (his words) and leaving hard stuff to (paywalled) NYT and Wapo. So we were right, and we did the right thing, and we didn't need anyone's permission to make our own news decisions.

This is not normal. (Please do not jump in my mentions saying that nothing is normal now--work your focus muscles.) My point is that the sign is culturally abnormal. Normal people look at it and think, "Cringe."

I'm not reblogging this for a pile-on because I'm sure you have the best intentions, but I need for everyone to understand something very important. The lives of transpeople are worth fighting for with sledgehammers.

Queer Palestinian singer Bashar Murad for Vogue Japan. He wears an "Intifada Obi", which includes embroideries made by Gazan refugee women, supported by a collective that preserve Palestinian embroidery in kimono designs. My favorite songs from him are "Mashkara" and "Antenne". 📷: Hiroshi Asakura

I know we're all just thinking aloud here, going through it, feeling our feelings, but every fourth or fifth post used amount to "leave [state] before you die" and now it's "flee the country before you die," and it's like People live here 🙂 They can't leave 🙂 They have no money 🙂 Is that news?

If you are a cis person please take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

Today is the #DayOfRemembrance commemorating Executive Order 9066 and the government's mass incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII. Eight years ago, I wrote about visiting Manzanar, what life was like in the camp, and how the National Park Service plays a role in teaching civil rights.

There’s an active fascist takeover going on. Let’s check in with the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary committee to see how they’re resisting it. Oh… oh I see. They’re trying to blow up Section 230 and open the floodgates for Trump to censor the Internet. Inspiring!

"Stop romanticizing toxic tropes in fiction" Bro literally never heard of 'Romanticism' (1790 - c. 1850) and how it's a deliberate rejection of order, harmony, balance, and rationality and celebrates the irrational, personal, emotional, weird, occult, and monstrous by design, how embarrassing 😞

The reason villains are typically more interesting than heroes in fiction is very simple. Heroes in most mainstream American art obey the law and uphold the status quo. If you want more interesting good guys, you need to start writing heroes who blow up pipelines and kill ICE agents.

I strongly encourage readers of indie queer and especially trans books to start using itchio as more of us authors move away from Amazon. Authors get a bigger cut, you can tip, and, most importantly, you will actually own your ebooks instead of just licensing them from Amazon.
