“I ain’t black and I speak more black than some black folk”

Time 4 hard talk

We all love manga but we are absolutely not the art of the system that produces manga. Stop thinking that drawing sixty-plus pages of comics per month is normal, or even that it would be good or even achievable

Ayaka: I was born a man. Im sorry, im sure this is really shocking to hear. Kiryu: No, not at all. Everyone has obstacles they've got to deal with. Yours are just a bit bigger than everyone else's, Ayaka.

Toshihiro Nagoshi, director of most of the Yakuza Franchise, with trans activist Ayana Tsubaki

Happy Trans Day Of Visibility! A reminder that Yakuza 3 had a deeply sympathetic trans substory IN 2009.

She was based on a real woman the director of the franchise met in real life.

And then they cut it from Kiwami 3.

They're trying to erase history. Dont let them. Trans folk were always here.

Lambda Legal Condemns Supreme Court Ruling Greenlighting Ineffective and Harmful “Conversion Therapy” Practices “LGBTQ+ youth do not need to be changed.  Rather, like all youth, they need to be supported and celebrated for the unique and important people they are becoming.”  The U.S. Supreme Court today struck ...

BREAKING NEWS: Today SCOTUS ruled 8–1 in Chiles v. Salazar to strike down Colorado’s ban on licensed mental health professionals’ use of “conversion therapy” on minors.

We condemn this ruling and all practices that purport to “change” the sexual orientation or gender identity of LGBTQ+ people.

Quote from Lambda Legal Counsel Carl Charles that reads, "I know firsthand the long-lasting harms of conversion therapy, having been subjected to it when I was 15 years old. This practice did not change my sexual orientation or gender identity. Instead, it destroyed important relationships and created shame and fear that took time and effort to undo. For many survivors, it is a reverberating life-long harm."

Quote from Lambda Legal Counsel Carl Charles that reads, "I am fortunate to have been able to transcend the trauma of that experience, to celebrate my identity as a transgender man, and to nurture a loving relationship with my husband. But so many young people do not have the familial or community support to withstand the impact of this unethical practice. LGBTQ+ youth do not need to be changed."

“I know firsthand the long-lasting harms of conversion therapy, having been subjected to it when I was 15 years old. LGBTQ+ youth do not need to be changed.” – @carlscharles.bsky.social, Lambda Legal’s Elayne Cassidy Nicholas Memorial Counsel for Trans and Nonbinary Rights

I think most people like Taylor Swift almost as much as they like corn.

The context for this owns so hard. She thought she had killed Kamen Rider because she had to rat him out or see her little brother killed (or something to that effect) and, of course, Rider manages to survive in a way only a hero can. He then tells her that she unequivocally did the right thing.

remember when a huge idiot on here was debating the usefulness of “abolish ICE” as a slogan?

just want to repeat: that person is a fucking useless moron. I don’t want to see that stupid shit ever again.

Okay. So. My knee is deeply fucked up but everyone else in this house is asleep & there was just a delivery & my ice cream is in the basement freezer.

Everybody leave me pictures of your pets so that I have something to bribe myself with upon getting back upstairs & taking my knee brace back off.

this is cool!

Sad part is that this probably is his hobby.

The Trump Administration is Testing Conversion Therapy By Medically Experimenting on Trans People in Prisons The Bureau of Prisons is subjecting trans people to conversion therapy and denying them care with the goal of helping them "recover." It's trying to prove dangerous conversion practices can work.

Under a new policy released Thursday, the Trump Administration will test conversion therapy on trans people in prisons. It explicitly states that it aims to help trans people “recover,” all the while forcibly detransitioning them both medically and socially.

@roomy.space Hey! I recently started migrating the iglunix project to roomy.

@chiitan.love Hi! Have you thought about switching to Wafrn? It can act as both your fediverse and bsky presences at the same time!

Howdy from my new pds!

A friend sent this to me, saying someone plagiarized me. I dunno if they saw my art first, but who cares? It's not that original of a joke. I got it from the Simpsons.

Why Transgender People Are Not Feeling Gavin Newsom We have seen this song and dance before.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.

I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.

There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

Thank you! I forgot to add another rule, (1 track per artist) and to clarify the vibe, i mean like “Cocky and Brash”

@vaspider.gay idk why I’m tagging you but I feel like you would have some good suggestions.

It rules. - YouTube Music about being unapologetically yourself.

I need more tracks for my playlist. I have 2 rules. They must be tracks about unapologetically and unrepentantly being themselves and the tracks must fit into the vibe. youtube.com/playlist?lis...
