Sci-fi setting: "this alien race are all men" Me: "then why bother gendering them at all? Why enforce a human concept of sex on what's meant to be a totally alien species that evolved totally independently of us?" Sci-fi setting: "this alien race are all women" Me: "hell yeah dude"

All I want for my birthday is to pay for my bills in March while I keep looking for work and to pull two teeth that my dentist looked at and said “well that’s sideways” that are causing me an insane amount of pain. gofund.me/48bbe5132

Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

sorry i missed the virtual meeting on discord, liz. i got hit with the id verification that happens when the app detects youre young

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

I'm doing charity fundraising for National Black Trans Advocacy Coalition. We need to support both the Black community & the Trans community and I'm putting my money where my mouth is: I set a $2000 goal. If we hit the goal? I'm cutting my hair and donating the hair too. tiltify.com/@anoriand-th...

I'm sorry to be sharing this again but ongoing illness has made things extremely difficult for me financially. I'm drowning in everything right now and struggling a lot to even make rent. Please, anything helps, even if it's just a repost. Thank you 💜

Hey yall. As you've seen here - unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:

fuck ‘em

Don't be quiet because they're all black. Don't be quiet because they're all black. Don't be quiet because they're all black. Don't be quiet because they're all black.

A friend reached out to me to ask if I could help bring attention to the plight of queer and trans refugees in South Sudan and her gofundme for her and her friends whose need for #mutualaid is incredibly urgent. Please share this post and donate to the campaign. Sophie & her friends need your help.

Every Damn Time...

I actually think it's pretty easy to explain. Younger people didn't buy into an older neoliberal elite's prejudices, the older neoliberal elite absolutely lost their shit at the notion that they might be called on to change, and fascists exploited that reactionary moment

America has slaughtered literally tens of millions of not just my people, but Black Americans and other Indigenous people too. It has been sacrificing children. Women. Everything. All animals. Bison. Water. Life. All of it. Maybe... just maybe... it needs to fall.

I'm gonna say it again: America and Americans have been propping up a genocidal, slave-based system here the last 250 years. It is the most successful long-term fascist campaign in history. It puts Nazis to shame. Cause Nazis were inspired by it, but failed.

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Honestly cannot fix this for my family by myself, which is why I’m asking for help. It’s super important for them to fully pay the rent because the longer the delay, the higher the chance of eviction. Housing security is necessary for any kind of stability.

When someone tells you “their eyes softened,” this is what they mean.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

In these coming days, check your people and hold them accountable for what they say and how they say it. How they move and how they navigate this situation. A lot is about to be revealed.

It should not have taken an innocent 37 year old woman getting shot point blank for people to finally denounce 🧊 and their crimes. Please know that Renee Good did not deserve to die in the way that she did absolutely nobody does.

Can you accept - even w/o agreeing with all our positions - that Black people know profound truths about this country that are not on Schoolhouse Rock? Now that the tactics they’ve used in our communities are becoming national policy, are you ready to concede that you need our “expertise” as well?

I posted this on all the shortforms but Im putting it here for anyone who needs to hear it, especially during this time of year. Just remember: You matter, and you are loved.

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with the bank, and to get my car back, I need to pay the entire remaining balance, which is a little over $5K. I feel awful asking for any more after how overwhelmingly powerful the response has been so far(!), but unfortunately we aren't quite out of the woods yet.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30. Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50. I’m 58 now. HIV treatment works. Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex. Ensure HIV treatment for all. End HIV stigma. #WorldAIDSDay

Happy Indigenous People's Day! Hope you got the day off and that you're spending it doing something fulfilling, relaxing, and/or whatever you need!

my friend just shared this with me

Burger Becky, a trans elder in game development, was recently diagnosed with cancer. When she sets up the inevitable fundraiser to help pay for treatment i hope people will consider giving.

She is one of our true elders and there are so few left. She deserves the best healthcare available, but this is America. Full story: www.advocate.com/news/stonewa...
