Day 155!! A shell painted in oils, from an old college sketchbook. Think it was the first time I’d ever used oils and I had no idea what I was doing!

Abood has autism, an intellectual disability and severe epileptic seizures. Without his medicine, he suffers immensely. Treatments in Gaza are too expensive & his family can't afford it. Any small donation can save his health. Please don't leave him in pain. chuffed.org/project/1844...

That's gorgeous - this is the other poem about chatGPT that sat with me: For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper by Joseph Fasano

If you use genAI for anything I just think so much less of you.

awoooo🐺 #deadlock

Hello, I'm Marwan from Gaza. ⬇️ Look at this dilapidated wheelchair amidst the sand and tents. Our goal is to live with dignity. We appeal to you for help and urgent assistance so we can secure the most basic necessities and medical treatment for my grandfather. chuffed.org/project/019d...

We are in our final moments with illness inside the tents. Tragedy surrounds us. I suffer from heart disease & my husband has severe injuries. Now rats & mice scratch & bite my kids inside the tent. Hunger is consuming our bodies. I need £200 to rent a room & save kids: chuffed.org/project/1839...

*clears throat* ahem, the nyquil said this was a good idea to post: finished off this whole box of tissues in 24hrs who wants me?

You do know this is so going to be used to stop LGBTQ badges and lanyards as well.

Persepolis is incredible! I love it! But I deeply respect that she could be like “okay, that’s enough of mining my deeply personal trauma and presenting it to the world, I want to make a movie where a comedian talks to severed heads he keeps in his refrigerator”

Something I appreciate about Marjane Satrapi is that she didn’t let them pigeonhole her into a career of nothing but autobio comics. She did so many things that were like “Really??? The Persepolis artist???” She directed a a serial killer horror comedy starring Ryan Reynolds!

At 56?? Fuck. Fuck, she was such a goddamn talent. If you're never read Persepolis, absolutely do.

So sad to hear that Iranian cartoonist Marjane Satrapi (author of PERSEPOLIS and other works) has passed away (at just 56). 😢😢😢 www.lemonde.fr/disparitions... #booksky #cartoon #graphicnovel #comics

NO!!!

@sineadthefae.bsky.social I gotta work right now but I will return to this when I can and I get a break! I'm having fun!

NOIR DETECTIVE SIMULATOR Your best friend's gone all to pieces; you clean your revolver on Thursday evenings. Your second best friend is your third double bourbon. You miss the lady. But now's not the time for that. 🚪 Answer a knock 💃🏾 Review the lady's case 🍸 Socialize with some other chums

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

Sama'a's young girls go to bed hungry and wake up in fear to the sound of bombs falling on their neighborhood. Please give what you can. chuffed.org/project/1575...

quote with 4 random facts about yourself: • traveled a bit, but mostly to places that surprise folks • used to be a pretty good violinist but can’t really play anymore because my tits got too big • oldest cousin on both sides of my family • the psych hospital didn’t give me grippy socks, still mad.

The WHOLE thread! Fascism wants to take everything from us and give us backbreaking poverty and endless toil in return. This is just classic authoritarianism. You owe your body to the state! and it has no other purpose, how dare you think you have a right to art or pleasure

note that sexual blackmail only wirks if you (and your society) hold sex as a shameful secret that must be kept at all costs. you can't blackmail somekne over sonething they (or their society) don't see as wrong. imagine blackmailing achilles about how much he moans as patroclus fucks him silly

Day 154!! We’re still in the Archives because I STILL can’t sit in comfort to do any drawing, so we’re getting close to not having a lot left to post, so today’s item is one of the pads I use for my oil paintings, in the middle of a painting.

I read this like a Disco Elysium post

btw, this strategy works for other countries, too (the UK is in dire straits right now which is why the thread is about that. stand beside your trans neighbors and maybe other countries won't come to that point)

If you're cis, trans people are your coalmine canary for a collection of civil liberties. BODILY AUTONOMY: does your body belong to you, or to your parents/husband/state? PRIVACY: do you owe everyone you meet a full medical history? EXPRESSION: to what extent is your clothing a legal matter?

I use canary deliberately here because this stuff kills canaries first, but it kills miners just as surely. If you can see trans people around you thriving, that is an inevitable consequence of these liberties! If you stop seeing trans people, get to clean air as fast as possible

Also it's a canary because of this: a Sieve Gorman & co. ltd. Canary rescuscitator, from the Science and Industry museum in Manchester in the UK. A little device to revive a canary after it passed out in the mine. The miners cared about the canary, and I hope cis people care about us, too.

me with the. When she. When her. When the she her me

One of the fundamental reasons policing doesn't work is because the police are dangerous to victims of crime.

"What is [small org] doing to help and support trans people?" Bitch I ain't posting that on the internet where GB News can see it! Are you stupid??? The local community knows, the people who need help are getting it, that's all that matters. Get off the internet and find somewhere you can help too

This also applies to some workplaces… …because it’s more efficient to do the work and protect people, when that’s what we need *first*. It’s still not over until everyone is free.

Fuck the economist.

eavesdropping on a couple of english lit academics in st. john, i overheard confirmation of what is surely going to be the biggest literary news story of the year

hate to be that bitch but trans people have been BEGGING libs and Dems to get muscular in the trans debate and we were universally demeaned, discounted, and attacked in response.

Why does @moderation.bsky.app say its intolerant to talk about the genocide of trans people? What message is @bsky.app sending its users?

I like to use "lesbian" as a describer of identity and "sapphic" as a describer of a particular relationship

We are in our final moments with illness inside the tents.Tragedy surrounds us — I suffer from heart disease &my husband has severe injuries.Now rats&mice are scratching&biting my kids inside the tent,&hunger is consuming our bodies.I need £200 to rent a room&to save kids chuffed.org/project/1839...

Hammam is a volunteer nurse in gaza, giving his all daily without pay to save lives. But now, his own family needs our help. They lost everything and are homeless, and his epileptic brother urgently needs medical treatment. Let's support them. Every donation counts: chuffed.org/project/1580...

If you give a damn about trans lives, STOP PRAISING THE POPE AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HIERARCHY. They're literally a key part of trans genocide. Right now. Today. Actively and aggressively. You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to them.

*stares at the “intolerance” label on this post* Won’t someone think of the poor oppressed Catholics? 🙄

It's Pride month! Consider printing out some chaff project zines or flyers to hand out with or without trans flag pins, buttons or badges. The more cis people who do it, the more it helps, and cis queers are our strongest allies! Let them know how they can be heroic!

Israel is still bombing babies. You can help little Ghazal survive a shrapnel injury from an airstrike that fractured her tiny foot. Her family desperately needs help getting her the surgery & care she needs under siege. She also has a respiratory infection. Share and donate:

In Gaza fear has become a part of their daily lives and even the simplest needs are a distant dream.Samaa's children live amidst anxiety and shortages of food & medicine & with each passing day, their suffering intensifies Your donation however small,would make them happy chuffed.org/project/1575...

If transition is 'assimilationist', why do we have to work so hard to access it? If it's treating trans subjects as a "niche for-profit market" why do we need to secure our own supply lines, community resources, or fucking make the stuff ourselves? In defiance of all institutional gatekeeping?

hi hi any help on this 👇 for #internationalsexworkersday would be great. im at a critical moment and starting on my back paw financially ily 💖 i appreciate you :3 💕💕💕

NOT JUST IN THE UK. EVERYWHERE.

okay i was gonna nap and then i got distracted making another one of these the color scheme of the genderqueer pride flag is just too good not to play around with 💜🤍💚.

Chaff Project now available in two new forms! Foldable zine and A5 flyers. Foldable zine: drive.google.com/file/d/1haFd... A5 flyers: drive.google.com/file/d/1jJr2...

THE CHAFF PROJECT Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great! How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public. Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.
