the government should not be able to smash into your home and drag you into the street for no reason. it's kind of a core civil right, perhaps THE core civil right.

Fiancé packed me some berries and cream as a treat today 🥹

Question: how comfortable are you reading someone else’s handwriting in cursive? I think my cursive can be pretty clean to read, and then I find all the weird shortcuts I took and wonder if anyone would be able to enjoy a letter I penned 😂

And now for today's good news ... a wonderful librarian now has a full time job getting people excited about books. All kinds of books. Even the diverse ones that the government doesn't want you to read.

Republicans are shutting down the government because they don’t want to fix the health care crisis they created. They’re holding the entire government hostage so they can raise health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throw millions off their health care. NO.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

The stopgap measure being voted on today to try to avoid govt shutdown includes a provision that could strip ALL federal funding from any institution/facility providing access to any form of gender-affirming care, for anyone of any age. Call. We will grow old together.

If you're cis, trans people are your coalmine canary for a collection of civil liberties. BODILY AUTONOMY: does your body belong to you, or to your parents/husband/state? PRIVACY: do you owe everyone you meet a full medical history? EXPRESSION: to what extent is your clothing a legal matter?

At that really sucky stage of writing where you look at all your shit and think “damn I’ll never have an idea that lasts longer than a page ever again”

I drew porn for fun now I'm drawing it for fun and spite

statistically a tornado has probably sucked up a ghost

im so so serious: be a pervert. get your freak on

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color Every queer press org should be picking up this story

I absolutely love this, but did you know you - yes you! - can also donate directly to the Transgender Film Center via their website here? And if you are short of cash, don't worry - maybe just sign up to their newsletter instead! Help spread the word: transfilmcenter.org

Never doubt my skill to procrastinate, I found myself scrolling through surfing tips for 30 mins and I’ve never been on a board.

Sick as a dog these past few days. After 48 hours of crackers and water, my first coffee tastes like the most decadent treat.

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

Autism is a natural divergence from neurotypicality. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be. Transness is a natural divergence from cisnormativity. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be. Just deal with people being different than you.

so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!

Can’t stop looking at this.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

“They’re playing in our face.” Jess Keefe on AI “art” in Regular Mag

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

"Porn bans" ALWAYS lead to trans bans Michigan bill seeks to lock up trans people for posting selfies.

News orgs HAVE to stop calling these porn bans. Yes, #HB4938, does also criminalize porn — also terrible — it goes far beyond that. LGBTQ+ sites, social media sites, community forums, Shakespeare, drag, a review of Mrs. Doubtfire, all punishable by jail $500K fine and twenty years in jail.

A lot of my followers and general sphere understands this but it's really important we recognize that even if we don't like some art for personal moral reasons, we need to defend its right to exist. We went from no rape to no cat ears in less than two months. Everyone who warned about this was right

happy fiber optic friday

Just woke up from a social media pause and the first thing I see is an incredible footage of a sperm whale casually cruising with a giant squid in its mouth ?? 🦑 🌊 🌿

bc this is getting circulated, i feel like i should add that manga as harmless as laid-back camp (a slice of life camping series) are being moved to the adult section and cannot be checked out by minors bc of "inappropriate content." the specific inappropriate content being them visiting hot springs

a lil comic i did ages ago for the @cartoonist.coop Oops All Comics! mini comics zine last year and forgot to post lol

Give this a watch if you want to see what I’ve been working on the last 6 months! It was been a real pleasure to compose for this soundtrack. Had a real fun time breaking down how we approached a lot of stuff in this OST.

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

damn that's so crazy. picture unrelated

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

*walking up with a towel over my shoulder to a huge cauldron marked REDDIT where a bunch of people are collaboratively boiling themselves into soup* wow you guys seem pissed lol

“why are liberals cutting off their conservative family members?” Probably because nobody wants to have dinner with somebody who absolutely wants them dead

"So it turned out she was a vampire, wich in retrospect was much worse than just being a cannibal."

Some of you guys act like you’re too good to read bad comics. You dudes are missing out on some quality mid
