Thank you to the Cap Times for a powerful conversation about our campaign, the importance of representation, and the need for transformative, progressive leadership to meet this moment.

This is something that cannot be stressed enough. The reason it might sometimes look like the political left is rife with disagreement is specifically because it allows for diversity and disagreement to exist. There isn't a one-size-fits-all. Ongoing discussion is part of the package, it's healthy.

"purity tests" "circular firing squad" "the left eat their own" are such bullshit phrases.

people disagree on politics! that's how it works.

deal with it instead of whining about marginalized people correctly pointing out that certain "compromises" only strengthens fascism

Shirt is from the awesome design of @sweatermuppet.bsky.social but unfortunately, the gender affirming long hair and large rack kinda make it hard to see. Tis this dope graphic:

I know you've probably seen this a billion times and I'm preaching to the choir, but that psychic self mutilation, even for small things, hurts less than having your 'bros' do it for you

Quote from bell hooks: "The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. If an individual is not successful in emotionally crippling himself, he can count on patriarchal men to enact rituals of power that will assault his self-esteem."

The power of the people is stronger than the people in power. #NoKings ✊🚫👑

Proud to stand with neighbors from across Madison today to send a loud and clear message to this authoritarian administration. No kings. No fascism. No compromise on human rights.

when you write off a red state, you write off my nieces.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.

what did she call us | patreon.com/lubchansky

PANEL 1: MATTIE and one other person are handcuffed on a platform over a big cylindrical vat full of glowing liquid. Behind them, TWO ARMED TROOPERS stand. One is shouting, next to a big lever.
TROOPER: You have all been charged with sexual deviance under the new statutes!
TROOPER: You are hereby sentenced…

PANEL 2: Closer in on MATTIE and the person next to her.
TROOPER (VO): …To being dropped into a big vat of acid, thus dissolving your perverted bodies!
MATTIE: I sure did prefer life before we were overrun by fascist stormtroopers.

PANEL 3: The TROOPERS look at each other.
TROOPER 2: Sorry…What did she-he call us?
TROOPER 1: NOT Cool…

PANEL 4: The other TROOPER from panel 3. He's crying, and pulls the lever. Some acid splashes into the frame.
TROOPER: STOP BULLYING ME!
SFX: CLUNK
SFX: SPLASH

"oh you want to do that thing? You should just talk to your loved ones about wanting to do the thing then"

I've heard rumors of two different "poly coaches" lately and I've decided that this should be my new career pivot. I have zero relevant professional training and my primary advice will likely be either "have you tried being normal about it" or "sounds like you actually want to do monogamy"

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

It’s not radical to want more for the working class. It’s not radical to fight for higher wages, healthcare for all, and housing as a human right.

It’s not radical to care for one another.

I think he keeps saying this as a sort of Freudian slip type deal. Guy just wants you to listen and think he's important, that's all!

I can never parse that word properly the first time in any context. Right up there with gridlock.

I brought @scumbelievable.bsky.social newest book to read while getting my tattoo, and getting stabbed while reading it seemed to be on par with the general tone of the book. But for real, holy fucking shit, some of those mental images will definitely linger

The book Black Flame lays in the user's lap while they're sitting for a forearm tattoo

Throwing a biiiig last-minute transsexual event of any kind is always a great idea, in my not very humble personal opinion.
