I had the honor of editing this and was consistently impressed by @queerarmorer.bsky.social's depth of knowledge, ability to detail a very real threat without exaggeration or panic and timely reminders of the necessity of queer and trans gun rights. Worth a read, y'all.

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

It's probably bad that every hundred years or so in this country, the government decides to pay reparations to white supremacists, but reparations to Black and Indigenous people are consistently deemed a nonstarter or too hard.

Anyway I don’t know how you interpret handing out $1.8 billion in slush funds to the president’s brownshirts as anything other than “they’re definitely going to steal the midterms by force if necessary, and we’ve already had our last free election”.

go and let your freak out 🥀 #meme

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

Being told your gender identity is a threat to children/society is violence. Being condemned by a church that has more political power than you is violence. Having your civil rights challenged/ignored is violence. Violence against the marginalized isnt just physical. www.advocate.com/opinion/amer...

i am incapable of being human i am incapable of being inhuman

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

Not a metaphor or an exaggeration, this is literally true

STOP posting AI images. I don't give a shit what your reasoning is for making them. I don't give a shit if you are only using it "for personal reasons." I don't give a shit if you "don't intend to use it in the book itself." If you're posting it here on Blue Sky, you are subjecting my eyes to it

every time some guy squeals about "declining birthrates" as a "crisis for humanity," remember that one of the biggest contributing factors is the decline in teenage pregnancies caused by adult men. that's what they're whining about and that's what they want to bring back.

a quick Sylphrena

again,

from her vigil i learned that Juniper Blessing lived a full life. she should have gotten to live more of it

(whispers) you can be anti-censorship and still enforce personal boundaries if I write something that makes you uncomfortable, you cannot tell me that I can't write it, but also I cannot tell you that you can't block/unfollow/mute me/etc

completely forgot yesterday about updating my bio to 28 now

“If other people support a rapist why can’t I” is insane

If humanity ends because of a reduction in rape and an increase in women's autonomy then let it fucking choke in the dirt for all I care.

Joining the bandwagon. If I notice you posting genAI images, you're more likely to catch a block over a mute from me. It's not cute. It's nearly mid-2026. If you don't know why it's a such a huge issue now, that's a you problem.

Please share this one.

Step 1: find a trans person of the opposite gender. Step 2: both go to the Texas detransition clinic and ask for hormones of your assigned sex at birth to undo the damage of gender ideology. Step 3: swap your free hormones with your trans homie. Step 4: transition.

hands you a pile of shrews

I absolutely want to see this? We've never a screen treatment of proper bronze age gear. Much less a big budget one. Seeing this in a film would be absolutely awesome.

This is a painting titled “Moonrise” created in 1884 by Polish realist artist Stanisław Masłowski (1853–1926), who was known for his realistic style, and this piece is considered a nocturne landscape.

There's a term, "malgendering," which means gendering a trans person correctly, but only if it can be used to hurt them. Like, you're a "guy" when it makes you seem less vulnerable, you're showing "male aggression" when you stand up for yourself, you're a soft crybaby girl on all other occasions.

who’s that diva

Deskilling is real. This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service. Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

Mifepristone is still widely available but if you don't have access to it, safe medical abortion is possible with just Misoprostol! Excerpt from Abortion Pill Zine by myself, @isabellarotman.bsky.social & @marniegalloway.bsky.social on miso. Full zine here: www.silversprocket.net/2024/09/17/a...

Lucas Knapp, a trans man, was murdered on April 18th. Juniper Blessing, a trans woman, was murdered a mere 22 days later. It is fucking ridiculous that the world at large continues to accept that this is simply a consequence, perhaps even a punishment, for the audacity of being trans.

I cannot stress it enough, but if you pledge even to the smallest tier of artists' Patreon/Ko-Fi/whatever subscription service they are using, you are already doing a lot. If you are regularly sharing art with others, reposting or sending links their way, you are already showing support and care.
