WHAT DAY IS IT

Be mindful of corporations who only show up in June. Be patient in conversations so allies remain allied. Be caring in the face of suppression. Be kind even when safety is stripped from you. Be careful in actions affecting our community. And, most of all: Be unapologetic in who you are.

We, at Queer Vox, wish all our members and the LGBTQIA+ community a most-happy Pride Month! From its humble origins as the Christopher Street Day protest, to the many who have laid their lives down for self-expression and love, please be safe and mindful when celebrating.

“Normal” is an illusion born of fear🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 You are exactly who you were meant to be. One day, we won’t need pride flags or categories, for every love and identity will simply be accepted as human. Until then, I’ll keep sending this: Your heart is precious. Your soul is beautiful beyond any label

Harris County runoff voting is today, so a handy reminder that WE'RE the boss of our elected officials. We pay their salaries and we tell them the interests they're supposed to carry out. And we've gotten way too comfortable just letting them not do their jobs and answer to money instead of us.

Not to dogpile, I'll make my position on Lex Lang brief - I don't accept your apology; it wasn't genuine - Nothing was taken out of context; you're upset and don't understand authenticity and label it as "washing" - If you hate seeing diverse and queer themes, just say that; don't hide your bigotry

Canadians, tell your MPs to vote NO on bill C22. There's a one-click option to do so in the thread!

The world is becoming harsher for transgender people right now. Darkness stretches before and behind them, and the pain is growing. Their wish remains simple — to love who they love and live true to themselves🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 This is why we must join hands and change the world with compassion.

Last night members of our QueerVox Verified program had the pleasure of being instructed by the wonderful Darren Dunstan! Darren is an award-winning voice & casting director with over 20 years of experience in animation, animated feature-length films, & video games. Thank you for a fantastic class!

And for the love of god and all that is holy, fund investigative journalism if you can afford it. It requires multiple levels of fact checking and a legal team and is much more reliable than red circles on photos being passed around Twitter.

CUTE DATE SUGGESTION FOR THE OVER BURDENED TRANS WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE: cuddle with her while making no expectations of her for 12 hours. better yet? make it 24.

Wow... no. That's... no. Absolutely not. Get your eugenics, self-hating, pick-me, leopard-meets-face-loving ass out of here.

"'It’s hot coffee.' sayeth Lloyd. He bequeathed unto Colette one coffee. 'Hot, isn't it?' say he. 'Yeah, really hot" doth she reply. 'It's actually iced coffee' he added. 'I had Genis make it cold.' 'Oh, yeah, of course it's cold' Colette replies. And, upon so, Lloyd sayeth 'I lied'" 1 Sylva 20:2-3

Hell yeah, we doin this. I stand for judgment and cross-examination.

BLOWING PEOPLE UP IS BAD NO MATTER WHO YOU BLOW UP!!! And civilians - especially CHILDREN - aren't their governments!! War is a disease that strips us of humanity.

Remember to give yourself some grace. The world is hard enough on us as it is. We don't need to add to that by being unkind to ourselves as well.

Just because the fight will never stop- and trust me it won't, even if we get global luxury utopian socialism, it doesn't mean the fight isn't worth it. Just because evil will always exist doesn't mean you shouldn't fight against it, or it will overwhelm us.

Last month Kotaku.com reported that Arc Raiders has started replacing AI voices with human ones after fans expressed disappointment in AI generated voice lines in the game. (1/3)

Something I need to keep reminding new talent is that when you audition for something, don't solely focus on getting cast as one of the roles offered. Put your name into the hat knowing that someone will hear you regardless of result. You may open a door even if you're not chosen for a role.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! We live every day as vibrant proof that hatred can never suppress the human spirit. 💜🏳️‍⚧️ Cis friends, as oppression against us escalates — especially against trans people of color and disabled trans people — please give direct monetary aid to a trans person if you can!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility everyone. We see you, we support you, and we love you!

Today, on this day of Trans Visibility, take today to challenge your current perceptions of trans and gnc people, how they ought look or sound or act like, and more. We are not a fad or a trend. This is who we are. There should be no debate on whether we deserve equal rights. Hire trans people.

The world will continue to nurture trans people regardless of the efforts of those foolish enough to think they can do otherwise. & so each of us is presented w/ a choice: Either you can join your FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS in creating a better future for ALL Or you can be left to rot in your bigotry.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility, but even after it is over trans individuals will continue to exist and be seen in practically every aspect of your life. They will not “return” to being invisible; they shouldn’t be expected to, and removing them would make life worse in ways that affect all of us.

Actors "going method" to the detriment of themselves + others is not a boon, nor is it an intended effect of the Stanislavsky System. Stanislavsky eventually moved away from the original-recipe System/big-M Method, toward what he called the Method of Physical Action[s]—created with Michael Chekhov.

No seriously, do it You deserve to take up space You deserve to love yourself

If you don't know, the Catholic Church owns many, many hospitals and clinics throughout our country- the only hospital in my home town is catholic. This is extremely discriminatory, endangering, and in many instances tantamount to refusal of care causing death. Something needs done.

📣 BREAKING INDUSTRY NEWS 📣 Epic Games has announced layoffs that have affected over 1000 employees. The company cites a downturn in Fortnite engagement and current economics as the cause of these cuts. (1/3)

and you know what? the second you start finding how you best contribute to a larger group, you will actually start to feel better. excited even, at what is possible. and relieved to know you're not alone. you'll have a team. comrades. organizing is the cure to alienation.

If you're worried about conventions and guest appearances during this TSA-funding/ICE-implementation crisis, please try and understand if cancellations start happening. ICE has killed/harmed citizens and now they'll be pushed into airports to intimidate travelers. We have to prioritize our safety.

You can give all your love to another even when loving yourself seems impossible. That doesn't lessen your heart's truth. But starting to care for yourself doubles the love —you give more to them, and beautifully back to you. Your soul is worthy of gentleness. Nurture it. You're enough🏳️‍⚧️🌈

Made a video discussing the anniversary and the house situation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLd4...

even if the policy environment for trans people never gets better, you have to live and you have to fight it things might not get better if we resist, but they will not get better if we don't

BASED CHII-TAN!

Never dim your light just to make others comfortable. Being trans and unapologetically you is powerful🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Shine as brightly as you were meant to 🌈

Persuing Punk Heyyyy y'all! Back at it again with the comic dubs! Thank you to @willpowerengel.bsky.social erengel for playing Bridget and @florencewilder.com for playing Poison!! Please check these amazing voice actors out 🙏 #yuri #comic #dub #guiltygear #streetfighter

KEEP OUR RESOURCES SECRET AND SAFE. Vet people asking, share via signal or other encrypted means, don't expose us and our suppliers to risk.

If you have trans pals who work in fields where conventions/out-of-state conferences/etc. are common—this is yet another reason why we often can't do those. This is esp. true for immunocompromised folks…some of us have elevated hospitalization risk should we get sick *at all*, let alone mid-travel.

A reminder to all voice actors: there is only one thing that will 100% protect your voice from being fed into AI against your will: working union. An AI rider on a non-union project protects you legally, but only if you have the money to lawyer up to fight it (so multiples of what they pay you)

That's our @erikaishii.bsky.social!
