anyway here's the email I sent to jim bankoff last week. i'm still heartbroken. I have been insanely, destructively angry for weeks, and I think I will be for a long time.

what a lovely night it was 💛

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog!

Today may be scary, but now it's up to us to be the heroes we need to see in our communities.

Our institutions and elected leaders have failed to prevent this moment, but if we work together to stand up for our friends and neighbors we can make a big difference.

probably worth remembering that most of Trump's executive orders will be symbolic, not-legally-enforceable bullshit and you should:

- follow non-sensationalist sources for analysis
- wait to panic until things shake out a bit

It remains to be said.

every trans author I know is currently unclear on whether their books will be banned in the next four years or not, buy trans books NOW, in paper

For 2025, I propose we just eat the billionaires alive

Do one thing every day that scares your psychiatrist

How many things like this will it take before people realize you can’t change a party owned by capital from the inside

I'm tired of the framing of trans suicides as an entirely internal struggle detached from the realities of a deeply hostile culture hell-bent on denying us care, dignity, and autonomy.

Every trans suicide is a social murder, because you cannot ignore a society actively trying to eradicate us.

Raw milk is cool if you want to do something dangerous with absolutely no benefit. All risk, no reward. Like trying to eat a campfire.

Decivilization May Already Be Under Way The brazen murder of a CEO in Midtown Manhattan—and the cheering reaction to his execution—amounts to a blinking-and-blaring warning signal for a society that has become already too inured to bloodshe...

The warning about "decivilization" didn't come after any one of a number of school shootings. It didn't come after January 6. It was after a health insurance company CEO's shooting wasn't received with national mourning:

"There was no crossfire. There was nothing. It’s just a coward with a sophisticated weapon who wanted to kill a father of seven"

as always, direct action gets the goods

in order to get a 22 yo on the front of a magazine next to copy that says “she’s 13,” a lot of people in the highest roles of that magazine have to agree they’re good with straight up lying to readers.

Trans people were among the Nazis' first victims in Germany. This isn't speculation, it's documented history.

Labour has embraced fascism in its persecution of trans people, demonization of migrants, complicity in genocide. Anyone, any member of the party believing otherwise is deluded.

Tucked into the Cass Report, deep in the appendices, you'll find that they reviewed thousands of patient records and found no one who'd been harmed by puberty blockers and fewer than 10 detransitions.

ah yes, nothing's more comforting than a cavernous Soviet-era bathroom that reminds me of my high school

Can we talk people out of donating to Salvation Army entirely, please!

They force their charity recipients to attend religious conversion sessions as part of receiving assistance.

AND they're wildly transphobic and homophobic!

Fund better charities!

Until the Stars Collapse you owe it to yourself to quit being the apology. to hold your hand and sing your favorite song. to love another and see how far that will go. to love yourself and forget where you were headed in the first place. love is a funny story. it wakes up and builds a plot. it wakes up and shapes you into the kind of woman your mother studies. i am not perfect in it. i am not even remotely articulate. but it is big, this love. it is airborne and triumphant. i am no easy show. i hurt like the climb of my lineage. i hurt on purpose. i hurt to not be hurt. no, none of this is an excuse. just a blueprint. a map. come find me when the day is bronze and the sorrow is full. i am building my poem in this here heart. all of it is a working title. by Tonya Ingram

Thinking again about this Tonya Ingram poem.

Edited meme of the recent "that one friend that's too woke" meme featuring a Black woman looking at the camera with a skeptical stare. This one is heavily pasted with medieval art, photos of Renaissance Faire knights, and a gold halo around the woman's head. Text says "That one friend that's too into the medieval"

Guess who started playing Pentiment againtiment

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

itch.io says it was taken down by Funko ‘I hope you are all having a nice Sunday evening’
