This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

“The GOP are quietly concerned about all this—“ I don’t care. They’re not concerned enough to risk their own necks over it, so it matters not one bit. In a manner of speaking, fuck their feelings.

20 February, 1856 marked the end of over 500 years of chattel slavery of the Romani people in present-day Romania. Roma were also enslaved elsewhere, including the Americas and the Caribbean. The Romani are a global diaspora with our roots in what is now northern India. Opre Roma!

You ever find out your dad is a nazi sympathizer and then suddenly have to move out? Well that's how my day has gone! So, if you want to help me survive in the interim, please donate or share this fundraiser with a friend. All money will go towards staying fed and housed. gofund.me/3d597a0c

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.

If we can't sleep peacefully, they don't get to sleep peacefully. Don't call your republican reps because you think you can convince them. Call them because fuck them, they don't get a free pass on this shit.

This just came up so for anyone who doesn't know - .AI files are a vector file type, they are Adobe Illustrator's native file type. Files ending with .ai don't have anything to do with /that/ kind of AI 🫶 Pls don't call out an artist bc you see them working on an .ai file

This has been my frustration. He's already got access, he's got the info and data. It happened fast and our reps (besides AOC) haven't taken it seriously or urgently. It's not 1925, we don't have the luxury of waiting.

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

FOR THE TRANS AUTHORS and COMIC ILLUSTRATORS WHO ARE ON ITCHIO: Is anyone interested in joining a sale bundle in preparation for this year's trans rights readathon? All genres are welcome (but need to be adult/new adult). If you're interested let me know and I'll share more info privately!

Some good news to start the week. The anti trans-youth EO likely violates separation of powers, equal protection, and the Tenth Amendment. 👇

I think its fine to have art content you dont enjoy, approve of or want to see, and establishing a personal boundary is healthy But as anti-porn and anti-art fascism continues to ramp up i think you need to weigh how publicly calling people freaks, degens, weirdos etc is feeding these attitudes

Thinking again about the ways Havok spent the period of 2018-2024 basically being repeatedly being used and abused by every authority figure and institution in his life, getting imprisoned, maimed, tortured, killed, zombified, and mindfucked regularly, to no real net benefit for anyone.

Worried about "dems setting a precedent so the gop will do it too"? GUESS WHAT for the last few decades the gop has been doing stuff and blaming the dems for THINKING about setting a precedent, even when they don't (and they never do). So why not, just for funsies, once, actually DO a thing?

Miss Major Griffin-Gacy, one of the Black trans women who was at Stonewall on the night of the first riot - she fought back, got knocked out and spent the rest of the night in the Tombs - is still fighting for trans rights. She spoke with @samtlevin.bsky.social in 2023.

The CFPB has returned $21 BILLION to consumers. It’s the reason your overdraft fees aren’t 7x the amount. They go after the shitty customer service you love to complain about online and get you refunds. Killing the agency is taking money out of your pocket.

When you’re disabled, friends & family tell you to “try harder” They gaslight you & act like if you really wanted to get better, you could Just do yoga, eat better, touch grass! I worry RFK Jr will take the “try harder” approach & apply it nationwide. Catastrophe for those with disabilities

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.
