“maceration” in a black letter type at the top, with a caption of “‘recording in progress’” as the first line and “october 2025” below. the image itself shows a man in heavy lighting standing against a background. the “background” is the closeup of another person, but only their eyes and some hair framing them are shown.

when your unethical experiment has gone wrong but you're actually kinda into it
a digital illustration depicting two characters, Red and Sköll. Red is a dark skinned young woman wearing a lab coat and red pants. she is backed against the table with various lab equipment on it. she looks up at Sköll with a mix of fear and lust. Sköll is a light skinned person with bare chest and the head of a snarling wolf. there's light coming from the blinds, casting striped shadows on the characters.

The only truly irreversible thing a trans child is likely to do is take their own life. "What if they do something irreversible?" actually means "theyre not allowed to make a decision!"

You cant undo or reverse any decision you make, you can simply change your mind later and handle the consequences

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

So saddened by the news that we have lost Alice Wong. It was an honor to know her and learn from her. May the lessons she shared continue to guide us for years to come.
Photo of Alice Wong, an Asian American disabled woman in a power chair. She is wearing an orange and black tiger-striped sweater, black pants, a bold red lip color, and a trach at her neck. In the background is a gray cement wall with greenery. (Photo credit: Eddie Hernandez Photography) This is Alice’s friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice’s wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

the head of a vampire in the center of an ornate gold frame. his mouth is open, hair spread around his head, and two gold crosses hang from their ears. there's blood smeared on his teeth and lips. below his head is a pair of shriveled, mounted bat wings.

This vote has not happened yet. Call your Senators, especially your Democratic Senators, and tell them that a deal without protection NOW for health insurance tax credits is unacceptable.
