Limiting access to a source of income for people only ever serves to increase violence. Prohibition just pushes already marginalized workers into more precarious and dangerous situations that they can't seek out help for.

Mutual aid request. I'm over drafted on my debit card. And my disability got denied so I have to appeal it. If I can let $50 to get me out of the red, that'd be appreciated. Cashapp: $Amadawr

This person is absolutely lovely! I've had the privilege of knowing her in person before her polycule fled the state.

This is what is fucked up, everything is already public knowledge. There isn't going to be a Watergate style scandal that will end the regime. We have to save ourselves because the system is falling apart around us, and there is nothing we can do to change that.

A LOT of queer people do some form of sex work. We respect sex workers in this house.

🚨PSA🚨 Sex work and trafficking are about as similar as bartending and bootlegging—except no one’s out here confusing a mixologist with a hostage. One is a consensual job, the other is a human rights violation. The fact that people still lump them together in 2025 is peak willful ignorance.

Can we please stop with the creepy obsessive #resist #voteblue 🔵💙🌊🌊🌊 shit already? The answer to a creepy red Republican cult is NOT a creepy blue Democrat cult FFS. 🤦‍♂️ Quit tying your personality to politicians/parties.

Trans allyship means fighting for us, not just affirming us. Yes, telling trans people we’re valid can sometimes be comforting. But real support means calling out transphobia, pushing for legal protections and ensuring trans people have access to healthcare, housing and safety.

Someone on Facebook asked advice for a coverup tattoo for a Gaiman quote (and fair enough!) and a tattoo artist got chatting and said they do so many HP coverups these days too. That made me very happy. Then they said: "I donate the money from hp coverups to trans advocacy groups" and I got happier.

when trans & queer people are 🤏 this close to being deemed “pornographic” by the government AND a bill was just introduced to ban all porn and their workers via Project 2025… if you’re anti-porn, you’re anti-queer. I do not trust you.

This is entirely my experience too, and why I don't want an "ally", I want a "comrade" A comrade has a personal stake in the fight, they will put themselves into the struggle and push back against oppression Allies will stand at the back of the crowd, shouting the slogans, but not take any risks

Instead of sending fundraising emails out to people, why not forward the resign by Feb 6 email that Musk sent to Federal workers to your list and alert them that the richest man in the World who is UNELECTED is firing Federal workers????????????? Perhaps voters would be interested in this?

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.

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights. they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones

I hate that we've gotta constantly be like "after trans people they'll come for you, you know" to get cis people to care like ... after trans people after we're what

it’s going to be awesome when some milquetoast democrat nabs the presidency back and they put the word “diversity” back on all those accent walls, but nothing else changes because re-implementing seventy years of minor, inadequate reforms would piss off cable news and like five newspapers

If you’re a straight, cis person who has ever posted some version of a rainbow with “you’re safe with me” or similar, it’s time to back up the words with action— contact your reps and ask them what they’re going to do to protect trans people from this administration, particularly trans kids.

HEADS UP: A "producer" for the Alex Stein Show is asking trans women to debate Lia Thomas Penn teammate about trans women in sport. Its a blazeTV (Glen beck) production and is a set up to humiliate and trap a trans woman into looking bad on TV. Do not interact!

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

1. Yesterday, Trump's executive order crossed a new line. No longer are the NYT Op-eds, thin veneers of pseudoscience, and false claims about trans people needed to justify discrimination. We enter an era where our humanity itself is officially questioned. Subscribe to support my journalism.

There’s a particularly evil strain of liberal/progressivism that is rooting for things to get worse in Gaza simply so they can do an “I told you so.” At any point in time Biden could’ve actually flexed US muscle and said knock it the fuck off but he just kept adding fuel to the fire. Own it.

Really hard to find hope in humanity when so many are so openly cruel yet they are cheered on for it. The devil's work of dehumanizing our fellow humans to normalize mass death and suffering has been wildly successful. The world we inhabit today is one that is intolerable for those with empathy.

We really need to get over this narrative that Conservatives are being duped by Trump. They aren't. As @msolurin.bsky.social has pointed out numerous times: we need to stop taking agency away from the people who support this man. They voted for him because he promised to hurt the people they hate.

I believe if you remember #HolocaustMemorialDay (& yes we all should & learn) +openly say in public it must never happen again but also openly say or imply disabled people are burdens, to expensive to keep or useless you not only didn’t learn & a poor ‘historian’ but worst sort of hypocrite possible

That’s the thing. Porn addiction isn’t real. Sex addiction isn’t real. Compulsive behavior is real, but the moment you call it that, it forces ppl to think of motivations in their life for the behaviors they choose — instead of describing porn as uniquely addictive physiologically (it’s not at all)
