No one has to wait for anyone to take action. If you have ideas, execute them. Don't act like an East German Figure Skating judge or a red pen Karen. EXECUTE YOUR IDEAS. That's the bottom line. Let 10 million flowers bloom. No one is gatekeeping you.

are cis people aware there are multiple instances of the state confiscating trans people’s passports in the process of updating them, along with other documentation required for updating passports? a de facto travel ban has already begun for us.

Guys, I know I’ve posted this article a lot in the last two weeks. But I’m so serious. They’re not fucking around, and major executive action aimed at trans literature could happen as soon as tomorrow. The time to take action to protect trans books and authors is now.

A very smart colleague just pointed out the grim truth that the U.S. leaving the WHO may ultimately be a win for the rest of the world. Why? Because without a vote, “the US can't block WHO actions like vaccine programs, disease surveillance, contraception, etc”. Man, that is daaaark, but accurate.

I was already sold on the idea of making a day to commemorate this yesterday, but last night’s miserably anxious night has convinced me it’s nothing short of a necessity rn. May 6th, 2025 will be Transliterary Preservation Day. Thank you @adaframe.bsky.social for sparking this.

Major news: Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth. It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle" I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades. Shameful.

I was on WIC when I left my abusive husband with a toddler in tow. I think it's super important to highlight that their are real people behind these acronyms. This will hurt so many families.

Hope all the researchers affected by the grant money freeze are preserving their work before they don’t have access to it anymore. Backups on hard drives? Share with international colleagues/servers? Print copies locked in a climate proof box and buried? Yes, please, and all other ways you think of.

Even if you do not create/consume/like NSFW media you must speak up for SWs and NSFW creators b/c the criminalizing and banning of it is just another step towards fascism. It will be used to target minority groups, LGBT, etc. and anything deemed "unsanitary" or "degenerate".

We need a lot more people helping people to plug into existing organizing, groups and mobilizations. Frontline organizers are understandably swamped and we lack the intermediaries and connectors who could support the entry of new people into what's already in motion.
