If you've seen this piece before, "The New American Gothic" by Criselda Vasquez, Then heartbreakingly, I have to inform you that—according to Vasquez's Instagram as of 4/03/26—Vasquez's father has been taken by ICE. GoFundMe below to help financially support their family.

BREAKING: WE DID IT!!! LUDOVIC IS COMING HOME!!! The judge, clearly moved by 20 people turning up in person alongside 20 online, ruled entirely in Lud’s favor with low bond. Update to come when he is home. The team is optimistic about his hearing in May. #FREELUD

hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context

Please make a terrible ruckus about this, if you live in Oregon

Very valuable list! Plenty of places to donate near you.

Despite how excellent the news may seem, do not get comfortable just yet One key word to take this away from; "Halted," which means, the Age Verification junk is very much alive and there's a possibility they'll be trying this again Keep the pressure going, do not let them get away with this

TFW you get mayonnaise for Easter

I got a call today and it's really concerning. Please read. I have been trying my hardest but I don't think I can handle it alone.

signed! reminder to canadians that official petitions through the commons website actually do have an impact

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

Calling is good but if you wanna send a message in the literal sense this will do it for you. Takes like ten seconds

I cannot make anybody stop playing games they have a lot of time and money sunk into. But if I, of All people, with 500+ skins, who used to play this Daily, can uninstall Fortnite and the Epic Games store, you can do it too.

woah ...

my friend Meraki is in danger and will soon be homeless. she's a disabled (POTS) trans woman who was abused by her parents, and is now being put into a life-or-death situation. all relevant info is in the image. donation info is in replies. if you know somewhere she can go, message me. please help.

i still dont know why he turned my ass into mario 64 boxart baby but i was helpless to stop him (u should give elliot your money btw)

birthday gift for my friend yay !!!

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

today is the day to do important male activities like alternating saying "THE GRID" in a jeff bridges voice and "THE BOUNCER" in a the bouncer voice as you slowly caramelize a pan of onions for 45 minutes

happy circulatory system walking through the kitchen day

good day

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again. Literally the least you can do!!

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.

hi, cis folks! if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now. the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. we need you to call senators: reps.fyi more info & script downthread.🧵

I simply cannot stress it enough. You cannot sit this out. They are coming for EVERYTHING. No media, no creators are safe under these policies. They want us poor, they want us criminalized, they want us disenfranchised. Call paypros. Call your reps. Do SOMETHING.

whats up ive been doing creative stuff besides drawing lately ! (a lot more physical stuff like sewing things and 3d printing) did make a new sona design tho.. wanna do some more stuff with them sometime soon hopefully!!

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

Incredibly grateful to @pcgamer.com for sharing about our Games for Palestine charity bundle. Thank you so much for the coverage!! ❤️ www.pcgamer.com/games/you-ca...

Call your Senators and let’s get this motherfucker impeached www.murray.senate.gov/senator-murr...

The man-made famine in Gaza is now officially recognised months after Israel’s deliberate starvation campaign was obvious. The most preventable famine in history, unfolding in plain sight and we won’t forget our government armed, funded and gave it cover.

fish who wants to kill you

Hey folks: Everyone's favorite lil internet scamp @BugsMaytrix just caught a fucking @bsky.app ban If you weren't following some of the others affected - this is the third high profile trans woman who's been banned recently after talking about a certain free-shitting Wizard Book Author #freethebugs

put me on your team

I'll say it again: if you are terminally-online & have a vast reservoir of pent-up angry energy from feeling powerless as the world around you gets worse and worse it is 1000% more productive to direct that energy towards Mastercard, Visa, Stripe, and Paypal than any other target #SaveSpeech

Sports Illustrated is covering it now. Time to pretend to be a normie shareholder who wants to know why the brand is damaging its own reputation.

It's like a virus. If they put out a statement at 2 weeks and we stop, then the next time they censor even more, we'll have to call 4 weeks to get them to even make a statement. The fight won't be easier to win a year from now. We just have to be relentless, we can't give them a recovery period.

my friends love to pay me to draw pokemon for them :3

I think it needs to be pointed out as well that Visa is clearly losing money off these calls clogging their systems and still thought it was worth the money to re-train their employees/contractors. They're not scared enough to drop the issue altogether, people need to keep calling and snail-mailing.

Hey, so, TOTALLY not suggesting that RFK Jr. BACKS DOWN when we PUSH BACK, BUT if you’d like to call… HHS Toll-Free: 1-877-696-6775 HHS Direct Line: 202-690-7000 PLEASE share and consider calling your senators and representatives as well. NONE of this is okay. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

refsheet of my new leafeon truesona!!!! He's Green and He's Real. (a commission from @mayorworthy.bsky.social. shower him in love and money NOW!)

NCOSE is an anti-porn, Christian morality group that used to be known as Morality in Media. They have campaigned against gay marriage and sex ed. They published an article called "Connecting the Dots: The Line Between Gay Marriage and Mass Murders". So yeah...anyway, KEEP CALLING PAYMENT PROCESSORS!

Protest movements that stop as soon as they start seeing results fail. Protest movements that keep going until your whole squad is across the finish line win.

I gave a couple quotes for this one! DON'T STOP CALLING!!!

Given the government has responded to the petition against the Online Safety Act and said "we refuse to repeal it", might I suggest to that we flood Ofcom with calls complaining about our loss of privacy, censorship and accessibility to the internet? They even have a freephone no. 0300 123 3333

Collective Shout, the group behind this censorship mess, is led by a person named Melinda Tankard Reist. She has a publicly available email address on her Instagram: [email protected] Do with this what you will for legal purposes.

Here's the Global Online Safety Regulators Network (GOSRN) Three-Year Strategic Plan for 2025 until 2027. Share it. Don't let these creeps hide in plain sight anymore.
