elite centrist/lib transphobia is one of those classic contrarian things where they’ve built up a huge pile of facially convincing “evidence” that collapses immediately if you put it under serious scrutiny

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

Imagine cooking on this level

i am concerned for the reason that (among others) even content that bluesky has deemed acceptable will be flagged given that EVERY time i've posted an artwork including artistic nudity, it has been labeled as sexual content, and my attempts to appeal have been universally ignored #bskycensorship

there is no hyperbole in this

Feeling uncomfortable about something is not a morally superior stance. Disgust is not an inherently correct reaction to something, nor does it prove something's sinfulness. You can't consume your way into moral purity.

Also - noncon and dubcon are often (but not always) ways for survivors to process, cope, or educate about assault and its aftermath/effects. To show support for other survivors and give them examples of love and support. It certainly is for me. Blanketly silencing this art is *not* the way.

i'm reminded of this whenever i see people upset about nobody properly tagging. when we do properly tag, you get upset anyway because you saw the tag. but if we don't tag, you apparently don't even recognize it as upsetting. this is why you can't police consent in art.

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

It would appear that uncritically funding the people that hate us so much that they mint coins commemorating body counts instead of listening to the people who said that the institutional rot within the police is so deeply engrained that they represent a danger to us all has mysteriously backfired.

(Jonathan Frakes voice) None of my characters consent because they're imaginary. Theyre fake. Drawings. Not real.

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

The editors on that planned Sinclair documentary got through about 10 minutes of this sort of footage and went, ummm.

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

My 7th grade social studies teacher was a cool butch lesbian who kind of looked like Dennis Leary and she once told us "the more you know, the more jokes you get" and needless to say she really made an impression on me

I'll never miss an opportunity to show off the tattoo Jessica designed for me nearly ten years ago. Don't be distracted by the fish flops I need you to focus

opening one more tattoo for october. gimme something weird. gimme something fuckin crazy

Nice rhetorical question you got there. Shame if someone responded to it not only in earnest but also with an inscrutable attitude

Speaking as a reproductive health reporter who covered these referenda endlessly and talked to MANY voters in Kansas, Missouri, and Ohio: Abortion rights are MORE popular than Democrats. They MAKE Democrats popular. Why would Democrats run away from one of the few policies that works for them

hi, cis folks! trans people need your help! the FY26 budget gets a vote by 9/30. GOP wants a ban on funds for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. they're trying for other bans, too. we need you to call senators like chuck who don't get it: reps.fyi info & script in the🧵⬇️

I immediately got banned from tumblr back in the day for posting Courbet's L'origine du monde in response to the porn ban. Labeling art as degenerate is anti-intellectual and anti-human - fuck you for capitulating in advance, Capital dick suckers.

crazy how deepfake porn that uses faces of real people and ruins lives has never been a subject in the "protecting internet users" argument and instead all the recent censorship ended up being targeted at artists and sex workers just trying to make a living

I will never vote for a pro-life candidate and that is a promise. fuck you

Wanna post this again because I still see some people saying "they just want to ban rape, what's the big deal?" and this is an excellent explainer.

it is maddening that in posting a comic on a social media platform i have to be uncertain and paranoid about including content that could easily appear in an r-rated movie or a cable tv show.

As someone who rarely/does not post nsfw - this new bluesky TOS feels like a dubious slippery slope since LGBTQIA+ media has been caught up in itchio’s nsfw cull. The nsfw label system is great. Sure, if u want, it can be made better. ask for suggestions to improve it instead of this vague rule.

when bodies are treated as objects they are acceptable, however once the bodies have autonomy and find ways to express their own pleasure for themselves, it becomes unacceptable. the legality of sexuality in this country is dictated by who gets to enjoy it

"what is their obsession with trans people even about" cuz trans people are the free-est motherfuckers on earth! they don't want the rest of y'all getting any ideas about having control over your own fucking destiny!!

really not sure why it's so desperately important to insert consent (of all things) into an intangible nonreal space. fiction is already the fantasy. it's defined by its border. like actually grow up lol

Out of curiosity how do you get consent from a drawing. Like maybe you should worry less about whether or not a cartoon has rights and more about whether real life trans and Palestinian people do

Lord alive, they want fictional characters in fictional sexual situations to model consent for literal adults like a patronizing early 2020’s sitcom where the point of the writing is to convey that the writer’s been to therapy at some point

people can issue consent. things cannot. drawings & sculptures & fictional characters are things. they are property. they are NOT real people. requiring fictional characters to issue consent is an insult to real people w/real problems how does bsky expect to get consent from something like marble?

Abundantly stupid

Get ready for this across the country, as workers essential in fields like agriculture and home repairs are rounded up at work sites and put concentration camps. This country has chosen to sacrifice our economy on the altar of genocide

Forgot I drew this

Right-wingers are calling for my arrest. You know why? Because they know I’m the only candidate in my race who will actually stand up to ICE and Trump. And they’re right.

Posthumous uncanny AI of me speaking at my own funeral: You were all right, the pronouns were too hard and really annoying and I was rude when I corrected you. Chicken marinara. Seven plus three is twelve My parents: It's so nice to get closure, it really sounds just like her

just started having recency bias and i love it. easily the best bias

Republicans just pushed a resolution to "honor the life and legacy" of anti-LGBTQ+ rights leader and extremist Charlie Kirk. Half of the Democrats voted in favor, including transgender representative Sarah McBride.

Things are scary as fuck, but we’re still queers making art as the world falls down. Support my wife and I’s work over at Patreon.com/thewitchwolf or give the comic a read and a like over at thewitchwolf.org. It all means more than you could know.
