And while you’re at it, maybe get on the wait list for @transrights.northsky.social. Bluesky’s rapidly forgetting its foundations in marginalised community.

Disabled, queer and Trans+ people are routinely denied recognition of our support needs. On top of that, many of us are unshakeably tired. But instead of surrendering to shame, @willofwands.bsky.social is choosing to rebel www.wearequeeraf.com/unshakeably-...

This was a deeply, personally important piece for me to write, about my fibromyalgia and resistance against ableist capitalism. But it’s also for all of you fatigued warriors out there - I honour you. With thanks as ever to @wearequeeraf.com for the space to write about the under-platformed.

Eight Palestine Action activists are being left to die in prison – all without even facing trial. We must force the government to act, before it’s too late ⬇️ https://goodlaw.social/3e3320

hey hi i got $255 due by the 30th $1210 by the fifth do your thing baby do your thing linktr.ee/tichatnwa 🖤

Reminiscent of the story of James Barry. “Against his explicit wishes to be buried quickly without being undressed, his clothes were removed by an unknown woman who attended to his body. Barry’s servant Sophia Bishop confirmed the body was ‘female’, with stretchmarks suggestive of childbearing.”

In segue, I posted my PIP review form, with evidence, the whole advised *10 DAYS* ahead of deadline date. It was hard, and stressful, I don’t know how I did it, but thank fuck it’s done. Anyone else frying their brains for the benefit system, I send my recovered reserves of resilience to you 💞

Will I ever get bored of seeing my face associated with this event? Odds are unlikely. Landing and developing a pitch for Trans+ History Week is a wonderful experience. But being an alumnus who can pay it forward, I think, is even better. In other words, go get it you beautiful history nerds 💖

It’s a happy day in hard times when I can listen to new music from @pupilslicer.bsky.social. And remember forging an alliance between Slicer and @thenation.com. I’m sick, tired and tackling a benefits review, but having ‘Fleshwork’ and tangible reminders of my best work makes such a difference.

Though today is Ada Lovelace Day, my thoughts also turn to another incredible woman and scientist. Her name is Lynn Conway - a trans woman who first designed the microchip allowing me to find Trans+ community online, and from there, do the work I do as a journalist. #ALD25

Don't let activism blink out of sight! Ofcom wants all social posts to be scanned for 'illegal' content before they appear in our feeds. And the AI doing it will go OTT. Posts about protest could get removed or suppressed. Say no to more censorship ⬇️ action.openrightsgroup.org/online-safet...

Four days left to pick up 24 great non-binary books for $30!

Please help, if you have anything at all. I don't. I wish I did. I am so poor and it upsets me every day that Heba and Mohammed couldn't have made friends with someone wealthier who could do more for them. They need $150 USD per day, their campaign is in CAD so $206 in donations gofund.me/861ba393

It didn't used to be this way. Blue sky used to be alt text everywhere and non alt text images got no traction. But then the influx began and the newbies failed to learn the rules. Alt text peeps. It's not that hard And improves reach, is inclusive and adds context.

My 1920s fantasy A DESIGNER MAGICK is included in the Nonbinary Character for Nonbinary Awareness Week. 24 books featuring NB MCs for $30! 💛🤍💜🖤 There's books here by @danifinnwrites.bsky.social, @ardenpowell.bsky.social, @franklynnewt.bsky.social & more itch.io/b/3153/nonbi... 🌈🚀💫 #Booksky 💙📚

[Adding alt text for the image in the original post] Don't be in any doubt that trans+ book bans eventually = much wider bans on any books that don't benefit cishet white abled privilege.

Ireland has had "sELf iD" for 10 years now and not one single issue that the media, government and anti-trans movement predicted has come to pass. Not one. If it works in Ireland why would it not work here? No one who opposes it can give a good answer, because the real answer is transphobia

Fadi needs help ❤️

😭😭😭😭😭 We were forced to flee again under heavy bombing, leaving everything behind💔 All the aid we received went into evacuation costs. Today, we barely ate anything — the hunger is as painful as the war itself. Please don’t ignore our hunger. Any help means life. 🙏🏻 tiny.cc/hbcuzz gofund.me/54db81e4

This didn’t get as much traction as I hoped. But my other hope is that this will contribute to more awareness that silent back-pedalling isn’t good allyship. We need loud displays that cisgender people won’t stand for transphobia, in any space. Hope everyone who was at the fest had a blast! 🤘💕

It's Pride Month!🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🎉 Please help a disabled trans couple escape Alabama, as it's becoming more dangerous all the time to stay here. gofund.me/de3bbb42

Anyone wanna save me from losing help and being behind on my car payment before my anxiety gets me bad 😅

Happy Juneteenth! I'm a disabled black artist who needs help with rent and medical bills. I do commissions and have paintings, prints, and pouches for sale. I also do tarot. www.etsy.com/shop/TheGala... Dono links: Simplynovology.carrd.co/#CashLinks

Happy 3.5 years on T to me (as of last weekend - forever tired and playing catch up, but looking cute for good balance)

Last day of Download. Still just silence. Anyone with me for a last push to get a proper statement, in support of Trans+ rights? Doesn’t matter who you are, would love it if you helped out by sharing 🤘🏳️‍⚧️➕

Saving this one forever Everyone go take a read of this amazingly well written article by @willofwands.bsky.social featuring yours truly

Day 2 and still suspiciously silent. Though Download fest’s portaloo segregation thankfully got pulled, quietly reversing this decision isn’t enough. True allyship needs to be loud and proud. How about it @downloadfest.bsky.social? Get your Pride spirit on!

Thanks so much to @kiteincolours.art, whose emails to Download first went viral, for speaking to me for this article. Help us share this as far and wide as possible. Would appreciate any boosts!

Why still so quiet on the toilet controversy @downloadfest.bsky.social? Trans+ people who support your festival deserve more than a vague apology. How about starting the weekend with an end to your silence? Speak up for our freedom and safety, and against the EHRC's 'guidance' to segregate us.
