This. This is what overthrew the elite enslavers in the 1859s and the robber barons in the 1890s. We need these new papers everywhere.

So when it comes to "grow community locally" stuff, here's something non-Disabled folks especially have to figure out how to counter. There is a long-standing pattern where chronically ill people, even those who previously had extensive support networks and community, are abandoned and isolated.

Leftists who don’t care about the war on porn should look closer. Obscenity laws are the first step in banning ALL “degenerate” art. They are already saying that drag queens and trans people are sex predators. That queer books are porn. They are priming the people to lump it all together!!

I get that the people saying not to talk about feeling helpless and hopeless probably don't mean to direct that at me and people like me. They'd probably even say, "I don't mean you." But that doesn't actually make it better or more fair that they don't say that to start with.
