Underneath the text is an illustrated portrait of xena, a dark-skinned black trans woman with long locs, purple and green eyes, wearing golf hoop earrings and a purple top. Next to that is a kofi logo with xena’s head in a cartoon-illustrated style. Ko-fi.com/ItsLadyMonroe CROWDFUND: HELP XENA NO LONGER BE HOMELESS WITH DONATIONS & COMMISSIONS GOAL: 10K Heya, I am a disabled survival sex worker, I was made homeless 2 months ago. I am not on disability because they declined me even though due to my disability I cannot work a regular job. I am a illustrator, graphic designer, music producer and 3D sculpture. I do commissions for regular businesses as well as sex workers. Banners, posters, collectible card, sticker designs, illustrations, logos and more! you can check out my Ko-fi. I am trying to raise 10k to permanently end my homelessness. That will secure my permanent housing, give me grace whenever my disability has me bed ridden and it will keep me fed! I know it may seem like a but it will literally change my life forever. I grew up poor, I can make that stretch. if you able to donate, no matter how small I appreciate you! I love taking on commissions, so please feel free to contact me if you need work done.

post from @dirtsquirrel.bsky.social: “it's sweet that we can detach quotes on here. especially when someone decides to quote you with their replies and quotes turned off so you can't possibly respond? like tell me you want to say whatever you want without pushback without telling me”

The background image is of outer space full of stars and a pink nebula in the center. There are three black text boxes with pink, glowing letters. Textbox 1: SUPPORT THE #DorianCoreyProject!!! Textbox 2: They are a small Black trans run online collective dedicated to preserving Black LGBTQIA+ histories for future generations. They also help our community through mutual aid networks. Textbox 3: Please help them in supporting a Black trans woman in need of aid! spot.fund/15lnhtsc. Below the boxes are layered, glowing, cutout pictures of Dorian Corey, a light-skinned Black drag queen, and Pepper LaBeija, a brown-skinned Black drag queen. Dorian is blowing a kiss with her eyes closed and a sparkle in the center of her pink, glossy lips. Pepper is looking down at the camera with an open smile and a sparkle in the center of her right eye. At the bottom in yellow italics is Dorian’s quote: “Pay your dues and enjoy it. If you shoot an arrow and it goes real high, hooray for you”.

Hunter is quick to explain that he, like D, was raised in the Pentecostal church. "When I used to sing in the choir," Hunter says, "after the rehearsal, you go in to eat. I remembered seeing the preacher looking at a lady's skirt one week and then, the next Sunday, talking about how fornication is wrong." Such mid messages about the pleasures of the flesh were intertwined with the pleasures of the palate—part of the same sensual stew. "So I was like, 'Think of your grandmother's greens, how it smelled in the kitchen. What did the yams and fried chicken taste like? That's what I want you to express.' "

it’s true 😎

(luckily i took a photo before we ate) — it’s called the wonder mac after stevie wonder’s bday song!

gluten free, brown rice free & wheat free (these noodles are miraculously white rice elbow noodles)

if you need a low(er) spoons version of soul food mac, this hit the spot!

watching "portrait of jason" on kanopy, will probably cry lol
screenshot of the synopsis for the film "portrait of jason" next to the text is the movie poster which features a simple black and white picture of jason, a smiling black gay man with a short afro and round glasses. next to his head is "portrait of jason" in hot pink bold letters. the synopsis reads as follows: On December 2, 1966, director Shirley Clarke and a miniscule film crew gathered in her apartment at the Hotel Chelsea. Bestowed for twelve hours with the one-and-only Jason Holliday, Clarke confronted the iconic performer about his good times and bad behavior as a gay hustler, on-and-off houseboy and aspiring cabaret performer. As the cameras rolled and Holliday spun tales, sang songs and donned costumes through the night, a mesmerizing portrait formed of a remarkable man. Ingmar Bergman called it “the most extraordinary film I’ve seen in my life,” but audiences may know it better as PORTRAIT OF JASON, a funny, stinging and painful meditation on pride and prejudice through the eyes of a legendary figure.

in WHAT? ohhh 2020, yeah something important to our healths happened but i cant quite put my finger on it…/sarc

this article trend of research post-2020 finding some way to blame the individual or other factors besides covid is grating.
In 2020, a team of researchers found an in- creased incidence of autoimmune diseases in people with high levels of stress and depressive conditions. Two years later, a team of researchers from the University of Pittsburgh found that women of color who strongly agreed with statements like "I rarely express my anger to those close to me" were 70% more likely to experience in- creased carotid atherosclerosis, a cardiovascular plaque associated with higher risk of heart attack. Other studies have connected self-silencing to irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, and cancer among women.

it’s so weird that i can see my “real” face underneath this face, like there’s my real face but there’s a thin layer of “girl” face that covers it. that’s the best way i can describe face dysphoria

also the head of trust & safety here.
Screenshots of posts from a thread by Aaron Rodericks, posted on May 23, 2024. He was responding to backlash regarding Palestinians accounts being banned and labeled spam. Let's clarify things since my mentions are turning into a dumpster fire. I'm responsible for designing T&s policies, systems, and processes that scale. One of those areas is spam, since as the network grows, so does disruptive spam. That's why you can't mass spam people in mentions or replies. There are a number of mutual aid accounts that started up on the network, and as long as they keep it largely to their mutuals, that's totally permitted. When mutual aid accounts start to reply indiscriminately to anyone, they are given a warning, and asked to change their behaviour. Screenshots continued of the thread by Aaron: If they continue to ignore the warning and repeatedly spam users with their links and requests, and we continue to get spam complaints, then we issue them a spam label. This is not a content based decision, it's behavioural. Now, there are mutiple people arguing that an account is a real person, or that the cause in question is good. From a system design perspective how do you factor that in? Do you ignore their behaviour because their cause is justified? As the network grows, how do you choose who gets to ignore the rules? I don't have a good answer for that. Ideally I'd like to design a system where the rules apply equally to anyone, and my vouch wouldn't make a difference. Then your system becomes more rule by exception / rule by whim. Screenshots if the thread continued We've seen clear cases in other systems where 'the rules don't apply to my friends or things I believe in'. I don't want that here at Bluesky. Now what I do believe in is that the system is imperfect, and there's always room for improvement! Maybe this is a place that needs a carve out. The question is how to design carve outs in a way that justifies the system disruption and is truly a rare exception, or a 'break the glass' measure, rather than becoming the new norm for all accounts. /fin

book cover for “the faggots & their friends between revolutions”. text by larry mitchell and drawings by ned asta the cover is comprised of a red background with black, surrealist silhouettes drawings of two people facing each other. their arms and hands are abstractly drawn to connect and frame the top of the cover while the rest of their body frames the bottom half in abstract arches. the arches meet in the middle at the top and bottom and sort of resemble pump butts.
