Transmission line on my car broke and this is basically going to eat up a whole pay check. My commissions are open and I'd love to recover the cost, my shop on ko-fi is also open as always. It'd be a big help to spread this around. #commissions #artistsonbsky #comicoop

BREAKING: Israel’s government just approved the first phase of the ceasefire deal and a ceasefire is supposed to go into effect immediately.

Israel killed at least 29 Palestinians today, according to Al Jazeera.
CNN headline: Israeli government approves Gaza ceasefire resolution CNN article screenshot reads: Where things stand • JUST IN: Israel's government has approved the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire and hostage release resolution, according to the prime minister's office. Officials have said the ceasefire will take effect immediately. • US presence: The United States is sending 200 troops to be on the ground to monitor the plan's implementation, a senior US official said. "No US troops are intended to go into Gaza," another official said. Al Jazeera update reads: Four killed al-Sabra attack, bringing day's death toll to 29: Wafa The Palestinian news agency has reported that four people have been killed in the Israeli attack we've been reporting in the Sabra neighbourhood in Gaza City. That brings the day's death toll in Gaza to 29, according to the news agency, despite the ceasefire breakthroughs.

BRAINWYRMS X DISAPPOINT ME

An act of kindness. An act of catharsis. An act of sacrifice. That's what a TERF cult asks of a young detransitioner, but they will soon realise the fleeting promise of safety comes at the cost of their humanity.

It starts with an intrusive thought. With forced detransition. With someone complaining her wife coming out as trans ruined her family. With a monthly TERF paint and sip. But when does it end and how many will die, if you never speak up?

When the camps were liberated after WWII, trans people were left behind or reincarcerated. Exactly 80 years later, we're seeing new facilities built to detain them.

BURN EVERYTHING BUT THIS interrogates what we forgot after promising we never would.

🧠 Intrusive thoughts keeping you up at night
💊 That last dose of HRT you'll never take
🍷A fortnightly TERF paint & sip night
💬 A cishet ex you can't get over
💍A messy divorce everyone talks about
🩸And, of course, the corpse you've found

Written by one of the leading trans voices in the UK, with a background in war and human rights, BURN EVERYTHING BUT THIS explores the trans genocide happening in the US and the UK, how they're linked, and what's coming if we don't stop it.
