Reading back through this, it's really depressing seeing how many things I earmarked as 'probably not gonna happen' in November are already happening in March.

CALL YOUR FUCKING CONGRESS PEOPLE RIGHT NOW. IT'S A SATURDAY. YOU GET TO JUST LEAVE A MESSAGE. SCRIPT I'M USING IS BELOW:

this is one of my hottest takes. masculine men, butches: you should NOT be letting your girl touch anything gross. dirty toilet? soggy food on dishes? get yer ass workin!

When people who feel helpless or who don't know where to start see others doing something, they get emboldened to take action themselves. Also, at protests, we talk! We educate *each other* & tell each other about future actions. We leave with new talking points, new information, & new plans!

Last bunch of these 💭

the thing about the Democrats' "go find moderates, woo back the moderates" program, and I hope at least one of the tMG fans who are 100% zero-doubt inside the machine hears this: the moderates don't exist. income disparity has taken care of that. there was a guy who predicted this he had a big beard

Nothing to add here, @hiphopprez.bsky.social.

congrats to all the liberals calling the attacks on trans people in the U.S. "tragic but inconsequential since there aren't all that many of them" for finally finding out what they'd have done in 1930s germany

Pedro Pascal responding to transphobia on social media: “I can’t think of anything more vile and small and pathetic than terrorizing the smallest, most vulnerable community of people who want nothing from you, except the right to exist.” (via @charliejane.bsky.social) [capitalfm.com]

PSA. Stay away from these "alt gov" accounts. they did this in 2017 on twitter & a bunch of them were actual fucking far-right ops

Bizarre art was a later art phenomena, but it's a passion of mine that inspired VENUS! That said, there's a lot of interesting imagery from the 1920s and 30s proper that demonstrate that kink subcultures have been around for a loooong time.

Leopards Eating People's Faces Party! 🕺🌈🐆 [ cw: gore / hate symbols ]

Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights. These silent "allies" without a shred of shame or self-awareness, fully expect Black voters to make sacrifices to save them at midterms

Bay Area friends: do you want to see this piece? Come out next Friday to Queer AF gallery in the Castro, it's going to be on display in their March show, the opening is 5pm - 8pm :)))

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time. S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped *monday.* short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️🧵 legiscan.com/US/bill/SB9/...

Please help if you can, I know money is tight but disabled trans people need you

REMEMBER KIDS when flooding a snitch form, DON’T use obvious troll responses that can be filtered out with a query Use PLAUSIBLE FAKE data that will take TIME and EFFORT to run down. This poisons the entire data pool and makes it useless

There is only two days left for me to come up with the remaining $922 for housing!! This is beyond urgent at this point. My full menu is available and tips are more then appreciated, anything helps. Thank you everyone! ♥️ CA AND PP: $/transboyy

slow-boiling a frog. but also showing him headlines every 20 min that are like “frog medicare outlawed. lilypad taxes raised. frog rapists welcomed back into country.” this idiot’s still just sitting there lol

That queer flash fiction piece you like in that online journal? Print it out. That flaming hot trans love poem in that online journal? Print it out. That coming-out CNF piece you read online last week? Print it out. Here's the drill: convert to PDF, download, save on dedicated external drive, print.

Please look up the influenza epidemic of 1918-19 to understand that the CDC not selecting strains for next year’s vaccines sets the stage for a public health calamity that will, without doubt and at bare minimum, catastrophically and directly impact people you know. This is a five alarm fire.

Darkly funny that vaccines have worked so well for so long that folks have straight forgotten what it means to catch a real disease that could kill you instead of mildly inconvenience you.

Evergreen reminder

Please help Alejandro!

Pony Express Update 5.15!! 🏃‍♀️💨🩸☠️⛪ #wastelandponyexpress www.patreon.com/posts/pony-e...

btw one thing I learned at the training i went to this weekend is that bc ICE isn't allowed anywhere in a business that a customer wouldn't be allowed, an employees only sign on a door is enough to cause them to need a warrant. "closed for a private event" guarantees the same

After aimlessly scrolling social media and reading how "nobody wants to live in a commune anymore" I made a comic. My mother was an organizer and so am I. Hosting parties doesn't need to be hard. Pick a park, invite 30 people you barely know, maybe 10 show up. But you have 10 people in a party!

History is repeating itself. There were more LGBTQ people removed from government during the lavender scare than were suspected communists during the red scare. They only really taught the latter in history classes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavende...

i mean, fuck

Gotta get weirder with it

you have to make your art with a specific psycho vision otherwise by the time you release it whatever its doing aesthetically will already be played out... but psycho freak shit is forever

I wish more people knew about the 1920s Klan because they—perhaps more than European fascists—are the model for Trumpism. This is a good summary and a nice reminder that they do a lot of damage, but in the end, fascists always lose.

A reminder (from the slides I'm working on at 9:30 on a Sunday night) that there's no non-eugenicist origin story for the concept of IQ.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

Kwame Ture put it far better than I ever could.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.
