As a therapist I cannot impress upon you how bad this is. 8-1 is fucking unsalvageable. The powers that be in the United States endorse the torture of children for the purpose of forcing them into sexual and gender roles. Conversion therapy maims and kills. It has 0 therapeutic merit or value.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! I'm here I'm Non-conforming And having tits and ass don't make me cis. Support and drop coins for all the Trans Baddies! And Protect Trans People Every day. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵 💛🤍💜🖤

OMG HE RESENT THE EMAIL! The artist is a young teen named Milo and he enjoyed The Intersection. While there he got consent took a picture, and did some art of me. It's so cute. I love the art style.

So a queer kid that hung out in the Intersection during the con made art of me because he felt safe. It was so sweet and I'm so sad the email didn't send. But it was super cute and made us all cry. The impact of spaces like The Intersection are real.

And PAX East 2026 is done. This was such a mixed bag. I'll need some time to process. But we did it. We made the best of a mess and still turned up the most welcoming dope place at the con. I am proud of the experience we created and the hope and joy we were able to help people find. #Priceless

FINAL DAY OF #PAXEast The Intersection is open until 6pm! Come check out our orgs, games, game library, and generally immaculate vibes!

What the fuck github

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

The @officialpax.bsky.social Intersection at #PAXEast saw about 1255 people today alone! It is so amazing to hear so many people find a supportive space and find new friends. I am so proud to be part of the team that intentionally builds and maintains this space & programs con after con.

Chicagoooo 🚫👑

As a Black Queer person with disabilities, it's wild to spend months working on a program as a contractor just to get onsite only to find out that a white person in corporate decided to change their mind and not staff the diversity space programs because you identified needing to train people more.

This is just plainly evil.

.... It is only Tuesday.. And I'm already furious.

Seeing a lot of coughing and such with very few masks so #PaxEast & #SpringBreak Illness prevention thread. One update is that MaskLab has shut down their US operations unfortunately.

Small note. Mass layoffs like these are also a tactic to devalue the work because workers become more desperate while companies create false scarcity. Do not, ever, forget your worth. Don’t let them win. You make this industry exist. They don’t.

I have so many questions raised by Epic making one of the most popular games in the world, having massive IP partnerships, and still apparently having to save $500 million

This is so true *and* they were extremely strategic about timing. Nat Turner waited for an eclipse; many slave rebellions were planned around holidays + solar events to better utilize rootwork etc. I know most of us feel what we need to do, and thats prepare. Its coming soon.

Cassie's so great at making simple interactions feel *chilling*. I miss WCN!!! 😭💙

Update The first 13 airports where ICE has been deployed: Chicago-O’Hare International Airport Cleveland Hopkins International Airport Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport John F. Kennedy International Airport (New York) 1/3

OUT NOW Windy City Nihilism Ep 22 www.buzzsprout.com/1211549/epis... It's a bright sunny day and you find yourself outside of a coffee shop...

Me tomorrow:

I am realizing how much easier packing for PAX is when I'm not going to be on stage trying to walk the line of sexy villain host yet event appropriate. Lol.

It’s always small notes like this that please me so.

Tomorrow begins my favorite arch of Windy City Nihilism. We dive head first into wrestling with various forms of betrayal. What happens when your friends get swallowed by systems they tried to change from the inside? How do you maintain integrity while not hardening your heart? Find Out Tomorrow.

🚨HEADS UP FOR EVERYONE FLYING TO PAX EAST (or anywhere) THIS WEEK! Supposedly ICE agents may be sent to help staff Airports starting Monday. We don't know if or how this will actually look because the feds don't. But make a plan and stay safe. youtu.be/EWtkg6Di2Ac?...

yall remember the “this is your brain on drugs” commercials? we need a version of that campaign for AI usage

I am realizing that playing at tables which are excited and happy to play toxic relationships dynamics with me gives me SO MUCH life. I feel so good about this little infected martyr queer. When this show releases y'all are going to be so upset (/positive)

With a little more borrowed time, we can do this!

In Columbia Heights, we just held a mutual aid craft show that raised $15k. Handknit hats made by grandmas and original art created far from the front lines made $ to help ppl pay rents. Our tactics continue to diversify and art is a big player.

Soon CBS, CNN, & TikTok will all be owned by Trump-megadonor Larry Ellison.   Trump's billionaire buddies are buying up more of our media & jeopardizing our independent press.   State Attorneys General have the power to stop this merger, they must act. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This cruelty is being done in our name. Shame on this administration. Shame. 13,000 third country deportees so far. Many were ordered deported decades or even generations earlier, but no admin previously would have considered something as inhumane as this as a means of carrying out a removal.

The new thing is landlords using ai photos for their property listings. Totally legal. Total scam. The whole economy is oil and scams.

There were more scattered kidnappings and sightings across the near suburbs today.

And of course, Sensitivity and Cultural Consulting Experts @kobanya.bsky.social @helenargh.bsky.social @theleonamaple.bsky.social & @intersectionscch.blacksky.app ran a fantastic panel addressing when, how, and who to engage for consulting to level up your game and the benefits they can bring.

Men reacting to the Manosphere documentary are suddenly realizing how dangerous red pill content is because a man is showing them it is and it's not the thousands of women who have been pointing it out for a decade.

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.

lol any way 💅

Being a good neighbor while Black:

And generally just know that all this digital/AI health tracking, is GREAT for cops because companies give them data all the time. Your health tracker is another arm of the surveillance system like ring doorbells. 5/5

A bunch of White People, predominantly Men, put a Black Woman in court while she was in active labor, because they felt so entitled to cut her body based on a 2% chance. Vile.

A major failing of restorative justice when it's taken out of its original context (which is as an alternative to carceral systems) is that abusers often have way more energy to spend on staying in communities that enable them than victims have for staying in communities where they're not safe.
