This. I am done returning to the status quo of what got us here. I want universal healthcare. I want a maximum wage tied to the minimum wage. I want omnipresent, cheap public transit and walkable neighborhoods. I want Supreme Court and police reform, and I want the rich to pay their fair share.

Lrp I love Puzzmo very much, please give it a shot if you haven't already.

If you're trying to ditch NYT Games, which you should be since their games singlehandedly prop up the entire dogshit rag financially, you should switch to Puzzmo. An annual sub is 50% off today for a crazy $19 and as a bonus doesn't enable the genocides of Palestinians and trans people

There is only one possible ending to this story, and sports aren't the last chapter. I guarantee that if you haven't lost five decades of rights in two weeks, you have no idea what this feels like, so I'm begging you: protect trans kids right now with everything you've got.

As a queer author, thank you for buying our gay books in response to the challenges and bans and court decisions, but I implore you to go stand up for your public libraries and schools—they’re our greatest advocates, and they’re kind of the main target of this whole effort.

hi, cis folks! so senate’s king nerd struck the trans healthcare bans from the budget bill—that’s good! but the GOP may put it back in, meaning dems need to be ready to challenge it on the floor—that’s doable, but they need to know you want them to! today’s a great day to call senators: reps.fyi 🧵

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

The intersection of abortion rights and trans rights are essentially two main highways converging into an interstate. Bodily autonomy is at the core of both. It's not a coincidence that both abortion rights and trans rights have been attacked simultaneously.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

we desperately need fans to: A. know that AI localization will absolutely ruin their favorite manga, anime, games, and books B. fan outrage over AI use is one of the best and only ways we can fight back. most loc professionals are freelance. we're not union. we have no power. Fans must speak up.

The biggest mistake I see in discussions of trans people's healthcare is the idea that hormones and the like are some special service just for us when really all kinds of people access the same health care for all kinds of reasons but they are *withheld* from us because we are trans

hi again, cis folks! the comment period for the proposed rule to remove trans care from the ACA as an essential health benefit is open til april 11. context & guidance in the thread below. it doesn’t have to be hard; you can do it waiting for coffee. 13 days left, as of this post. please comment.

update: poopy water got into the furnace intake and ducts so remediation is gonna be like $3600. we're working with insurance but we don't have wiggle room on timing, it has to be handled immediately. so yeah that's $5200 out of pocket at least for now, so pls share if you can 🙏

They want to cut funding to health care facilities and FEMA while increasing funding to ICE. Use 5 Calls to tell your senator to vote against the Continuing Resolution. It will give you a script and make it super easy and painless I promise 5calls.org/issue/cr-con...

sometimes you get an idea in your head and you just can't you know leave it there

I’ve been searching for almost 5 months now, I’m more than ready to find my next crew!! Please let me know if you have any leads that I’d be a good fit for 🙏

It’s never too late to start masking. It doesn’t matter how many covid infections you’ve had, any infection delayed or prevented is a good thing. You’re also helping protect others when you mask up. You’re breaking chains of transmission. You’re saving lives.

Before the US election I said to my husband "I don't understand how the country that made Star Trek is in this situation." He said: "America didn't make Star Trek. People did." Anyway, I think about that a lot.

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time. S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped *monday.* short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️🧵 legiscan.com/US/bill/SB9/...
