Glad to see this decision out of the EU, and I hope to god it improves the lives of some of the people in the EU nations that have recently cracked down on transgender people. www.them.us/story/europe...

I need an FFS surgeon recommendation for someone who will respect the shape of my nose instead of trying to give me a white person button nose.

The thing I really liked about this movie was how much time and space it gave to just letting the characters talk and be people, a thing that had really been missing from the last several ensemble Marvel movies.

Contempt for others leads to immolation of the self

God I fucking hate Pete the Cat

If you've ever wondered how Hitler could have invaded Russia, now you know.

When I say I love the art of non-artists, they look at me like "you mean you think it's FUNNY." and I'm not denying that a lot of it IS funny but I genuinely love to see the decisions that people make who are not part of the art world, who don't have all our hang-ups. It leads to unique choices!!

Update: I sat on Larry

Two maintenance guys are looking at our shower, which currently doesn't have hot water; and kiddo is running back and forth in the hall outside, doing what they inform me is "the fixing dance." @teaberryblue.net

The kiddo has “planted” two sticks in some gravel near our apartment and refers to them as their “little buddies.” @teaberryblue.net

Update: I have found Larry and removed him from the bed

There are few phrases in our household that carry so much horror as "Larry is in the bed."

The #comics community is much stronger here. In the short time it’s been around my profile here has far outgrown my profile anywhere else even after a decade

I keep typing and deleting things about Netanyahu directly getting the Michigan shul attacked by literally killing a dude's family, and then turning around and saying it's exactly the same as attacks on Israel, but the truth is I can't figure out what to say that will not immediately get me banned

Every indie comic memoir about the author’s queer sexual awakening at 16 is under attack but a child rapist gets to start wars for fun and torment immigrants and trans people. Cool country we’ve got here.

Remember when people used to be all “hard times creates great art” because no actually it’s just this.

Baby Garfield’s up to mischief in a paw-sitively cute new issue! Here’s your first look at BABY GARFIELD ISSUE 2! Featuring "tails" from writers @hellocookie.bsky.social & Brittney Williams! Final pre-orders are next Monday, 3/23. Available Wednesday, 4/20! boomstud.io/BabyGarf2FL

. @teaberryblue.net: You're leaning to do so many things! KIDDO: I want to be an armadillo.

The willingness of racists to sabotage their own lives just for the chance to hurt someone else continues to be the most perplexing part for me. I don't hate anyone more than I love myself.

Hey Tea! Thanks for reaching out. I am 100% supportive of the trans community. I’ve spoken out about it before & I will again (x.com/chuckforquee...). I’d love to meet you Saturday or any time in the coming months to learn how we can work together and fight for positive change.

If any news outlets are covering this and want to talk to a trans Genomics PhD who specialized in human genetics and the evolution of sex, please reach out to me This is complete nonsense scientifically. It's fascist eugenics, not biology Setting a horrifying precedent for genocide

Every time this question comes around I need to remind people that I met the love of my life on social media and now we are married and have a kid, a coyote skull, and a great story about the time @edidin.bsky.social baked me a nude Alf cake.

Another day, another class action to join

These "Jewish" orgs represent elderly donors, fascist or fascist-friendly Jews, and Israelis, NOT the vast population of Jewish New Yorkers who support Mahmoud Khalil and despise his kidnapping and imprisonment by the Nazi pigs in our government.

This is now my second child

I don't think grammarly should just get to do "sorry deleting now" after ventriloquizing living and dead people without their consent to make money

Sorting people into immutable roles based on the configuration of their genitals is like demanding people perform a certain way in society based on whether their earlobes are detached or which direction their bellybutton goes.

All of this It is heavily demoralizing that this isn't happening

It shouldn't fall to trans people to explain to cis people why creating laws that effectively amount to "If you have or ever had a penis, you must behave this way; If you have, or ever had a vagina, you must behave this other way" is horrifically dangerous for everyone's rights.

being nonbinary is cool :)

Pretty furious that Gillibrand has NEVER had a competitive primary in her three re-election campaigns for US Senator. Next time she's up is 2030. Ugh.

Hey @chuckforqueens.bsky.social we really want to come to your launch event this weekend but it’s been a week and we haven’t seen you say TRANS RIGHTS! Given that a federal court just said state trans healthcare bans are legal this would be a great time for you to vocally support trans New Yorkers!

The New York Times coverage of trans issues has repeatedly resulted in experts and others complaining that their words were twisted and misrepresented... but only those quoted from on trans supportive side have that complaint. Coincidence or eliminationism? @billiejsweeney.bsky.social dives in.

Drone strikes in Haiti. Drone strikes. In Haiti. By private contractors. They’re killing Haitians for private profit & the world barely pays attention. The story of Haiti is the story America likes to tell about itself. Except there, it’s true. And the west has never stopped punishing Haiti for it

Your month, your bird friend!!

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

googling, there's not a whole lot of big outlets covering the NH legislative flip. It doesn't seem to be in the NYT. googling doesn't come up with much.

"The Kansas Supreme Court determined ... that the state's constitution protects abortion because it protects a woman's right to personal autonomy."

"Contrary to what folks on the outside might assume, there are people in prison who use the word 'prisoner' as a form of self-empowerment. For them, and myself, this term is more accurate because it connotes being held against one’s will."

KIDDO: I know all the days, Onesday, Twosday, Threesday, Foursday, Fivesday, Sixday…and…Sevensday!

I don’t think people who aren’t regularly covering the reproductive rights beat realize how common it is for women to be incarcerated for miscarriages.

When it comes to indie comics, your peers aren’t your competition. Wishing failure on them won’t make it easier for you to succeed, and it will just make you miserable, which then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and poisons you.

The thing that got me over most my professional jealousy issues is when I realized just how random success can be. Comics are hard and everybody has to figure out their own way to do it, and every success story is a triumph that proves it CAN be done.

My parents, who ~were~ the type of family one would expect to see on a sitcom, both worked for the vast majority of my life. My dad had a full-time job at a bank, my mom worked as a law clerk part time until around the time my brother was born when I was 2, then again starting when I was 5.

Stop 👏 having 👏 unrealistic 👏 body 👏 standards 👏 for 👏 camels 👏

AMAZING

We urgently need to address the fact that queer media has been decimated over the last year. Them has been sold. NBC Out dissolved. INTO shuttered. At a time when they are needed most, most queer and trans journalists have no platform or income.
