Apparently it's #givingtuesday

I'm a trans freelance journalist. Contributions from my readers and followers have totally ... shifted my outlook this year in terms of whether my career's even sustainable.

I'd really appreciate anyone willing to help me out ... buymeacoffee.com/sandyallen

i always forget to tell people i have a threadless store. but i do actually, and they're having some hott sales rn; you can get a shirt for $12!
sheerspite.threadless.com

(i'm especially thrilled about the one featuring the Zine Creature my friend Veronika drew for Making Friends With Zines)
An image of 4 t-shirts, one reading "I heart zines and gay sex", with 2 pairs of scissors scissoring, one with a weird zine creature surrounded by strawberry leaves, one that says "sheer spite" with chains above and below it, and one with the sheer spite logo of a coiled snake. text reads "there is shirts btw" a closeup of the shirt design with a weird zine creature surrounded by strawberry leaves. it's sort of a hieronymous bosch type guy, small, hairy, with a prominent nude butt. it is reading a zine titled "LOVE" with hearts all over it, and sitting on an envelope sealed with a heart.

On #WorldAIDSDay we remember the incredible activism that turned the tide on this deadly epidemic in the past

I’m sad that funding cuts by G7 nations are making such activism necessary yet again

Meanwhile, teaching is being undermined and devlaued at our institutions in a frankly historically dangerous way, and as an underpaid contract instructor, having to spend more time and emotional energy finding ways to get through to my students for the same low pay is not sustainable. /8

Great thread

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

i am not immune to the lure of a Hot Deal but the fact is, i do not build a huge margin into the prices, and already sell things on sliding scale, so i can't really do sales. however zines remain available for purchase.

Nothing is on sale :) everything is already cheap and priced on sliding scale already. why not just buy a zine regardless tho sheerspite.ca sheerspite.bigcartel.com the text is surrounded by a border of images of colourful zines sold by sheer spite, and a logo of a coiled snake.

The thing about the Thomas King news is that even based on his existing bio it seemed pretty obvious his claims to being Indigenous were pretty tenuous, especially once you learn more about community and citizenship beyond DNA

A relentless desire to keep dreaming
4 frame comic. in the first frame, we see a candle; in the second, a trans flag ; in the third, birds flying off a tree near a house; in the fourth, someone blowing on a fire. text reads : november 20th is trans day of remembrance, during which we remember trans people who died in the past year due to transphobic violence. When I was younger, t.d.o.r. always galvanized me into working even harder towards dignity and justice for trans people. may each of the 281 names on this year's list - and the many more names that we don't know - ignite in our heart a relentless desire to keep dreaming.
