Something exciting today—a preview of my sketch of 19th century Welsh lesbians for 'We've Always Been Here', a queer history zine by @taplingzines.bsky.social! I'm excited to render this.

Ancient Greek historian Diodorus Siculus' (60-30 BC) account is the first we have of queerness in Wales. ⬇️

Some of you may be aware, but one of our beloved W4G comrades has been doxxed, fed jacketed, and harassed for months. This has had severe personal consequences. In addition, sign-ups for workshops and donations for Palestinians have decreased dramatically during this time. (1/6)

One point that may have been lost: I’ve never seen this ad before.

It’s only when I searched for Mexican folk music tonight that YouTube started running it.

Google’s surveillance technology has enabled the government to selectively terrorize specific groups in service of white supremacy.
Listening to Mexican folk music on Youtube and they're running this horrible ad urging people to self-deport.

Fuck you Kristi Noem, and fuck you Google for taking her money.

GALAXY: THE PRETTIEST STAR is a slow-burn superhero origin story told as teen romance. Its about how being trans is beautiful and how queer love is transformative. There's also a hilarious talking dog. I made it with @deuxdel.bsky.social and @airy.bsky.social.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
