Madison Carstens, a transgender woman from Seattle, was attacked by six men in a transphobic hate crime on Sept 2. She suffered a ruptured eardrum - that may have permanently damaged her hearing - and a severe concussion that will keep her out of work for weeks or months. Do your thing, fam. (1/2)

for a moment brnine thought they’d finally done something right, but then they realize they’re still alive #friendsatthetable || (an extremely belated) #secretsamol for grace <3

very late pickman request from tumblr #fatt #friendsatthetable

there's always a John Waters quote, it seems

No #WeAre hashtag, no world leaders marching arm in arm to protest the massacre of 31 journalists in one attack. This is white supremacy in action www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

So now that you've symbolically recognised the Palestinians you're going to follow this up with robust & concrete action such as a complete suspension of arms sales to Israel, swingeing sanctions, & the expulsion of the ambassador, right?

This genocide campaign is not some news event that you can just shut our eyes to, but actual carnage and tragedy happening to real people living through the worst our world has to offer. We are so close to my goal and mu family deserves to live and prosper. Please - if you can - please help us.

if you are in a professional or personal situation where you cannot fully divest yourself from something being rightly boycotted, you've got an easy out: shut the fuck up. no one asked. you're free. i'm not your priest.

personally I care way more about this than jimmy kimmel but hopefully people who care about kimmel realize how it’s connected to mahmoud

donations to Abod and Aya's campaign have slowed down significantly. please help them prepare for the arrival of their second daughter! chuffed.org/project/help...

Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

the sheer fucking gall of Dem politicians who now – in September 2025, as the Trump admin is taking away trans ppl's healthcare & passports & baselessly labeling us as "terrorists" – express their "concerns" about trans ppl & sports. they are trying to eradicate us! maybe be "concerned" about that!

we should have never normalized filming strangers in public and posting them as content

This is a campaign organised by friend to help a family who lost a baby to famine, were able to escape Gaza City and are now struggling to pay for food and shelter. pay.collctiv.com/donate-here-...

Nedal moved his tent to a new plot, only to learn the person who rented the site to him did not have permission to do so 💔 He has a new spot but needs $450 to rent it. Nidal was devastated he lost this money and really needs our help. Verified by @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/nidal

Before the events of Sep 10th, KOSA was reported to be dead in the committee. Now they're using said events as an excuse to try to get the bill through. Just because the debate guy got killed for his free speech doesn't mean they should take away yours. Linking resources below

#SaveSpeech Germany has, unfortunately, reversed its position back to undecided. folks in the EU, but GERMANS ESPECIALLY, need to call your MEPs about Chat Control and urge them to oppose this proposal! find your MEP below and yell at them! www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/home

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Every week something like this comes out without the corollary “and this is what we are going to do about it” report

Watching a video about the Civil Rights Movement and the Freedom Summer and it noted how names of Black people trying to exercise their rights would be published in lists to institutionally punish them. Today’s methods of surveillance and political punishment have roots and not just in McCarthyism.

The thing to emphasize here is that this treatment is *utterly normal.* It's part of the system of detention which has existed for decades. Folkston has been like this for many, many years,

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

The Feds are lying about the poor guy they killed in Chicago. They lied about him being a criminal. They lied about his traffic violations. They lied about him threatening their lives. And they lied about an agent getting hurt. unraveledpress.com/what-happene...

my "old" fatt art isn't all that old but i'll repost a couple anyway! i think this hitchcock piece is one of my favorite things i've drawn in the past few years. #fattrewind

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

Happy anniversary FatT! Here’s an Aria Joie poster I made a while back (rip cohost) #fattrewind

Can we launch with such speed that we glide, graceful or imperfect, beyond war and pain? Or is the truth more damning than that: Might we carry our own gravity with us? #fattrewind

Despite crime in Memphis, including violent crime, having decreased since last year, Trump said he plans to send in the military. Memphis is one of the largest majority-Black cities in the country and is run by a Democratic Black mayor.
