Hey folks. My family and I are struggling due to an extended hospital stay for my mother in law who my spouse takes care of.

My spouse is a commission artist who’s got a new price and ref sheet out. We would appreciate any aid you can give us at this time.

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.

I think a lot of their base does because that’s all they hear about all cities.

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

They really are biting the hand while telling on themselves. Trans folks built Bluesky‘s user base. I think they’re mad that Al their tech fascist friends stayed on twitter and they’re taking it out on us.

Different things are different. Nobody bats an eye if my dad is talking about his favorite breeds of tomato but no one wants to hear by uncle talk about his favorite breeds of people. Main issue I have who bigotry terms for AI is that accepts the premise that AI is intelligent when it ain't.

Nothing like keeping antique rules designed to make character creation something you can lose to keep your game down.

I mean, you could just ban Jesse Singal and conservative bigots from your site. Like normal non capitulating to right wing bigot businesses would.

also, The Federalist posted an article about Bluesky and you banned everyone in that article, so you’re lying.

Republicans don’t believe in laws, the rule of law, or the constitution. It’s just a religious street gang now.

morganv.bsky.social @morganv.bsky.social · 18d

As far as American cultural norms go, that republicans are equal parts stupid and evil is a state of nature that is expected and does not need comment. it’s a crock of shit, but the GOP being equal parts inept and monstrous is treated as normal.

A script you can use if you’re not good at speaking on the spot.

I'm calling to demand that Senator Schumer not allow Donald Trump to take away access to transgender health care for anyone, let alone people with federal or state health insurance.
Trans healthcare is lifesaving medicine. It is not cosmetic or frivolous; it is miraculous and it is vital.
It is not something trans people can just go without.
[You can add a personal anecdote here-how it has helped you or someone you love, how long you've been receiving trans healthcare, etc.J Trans people are also over twice as likely to live in poverty, which means they are often receiving this care through government-funded programs. They simply cannot afford it otherwise. If this care is lost, trans American lives will be lost too. This is the truth.
If none of this stirs the Senator's compassion, please understand that trans people are, as a group, politically active, and they are rarely Republicans. The Senator should understand that if he caves and allows Trump to do this to us, it would be a betrayal of his constituents at an unforgivable level. If he caves, I will never vote for a Democrat again. I will not vote for a Democrat for president, for senator, for dogcatcher. This is a promise.

California! Set a reminder in your phone to call the gov’s office to tell Newsom to sign these five bills.

The guy’s mercenary as hell so if he thinks the wind is shifting in favor of trans rights (it never shifted! Trans rights are human rights!) we could flip him. Info below.
