Wrote about the surprisingly complex things Pluribus is doing with queer identity

its interesting how every bad Pluribus take is just “straight person invents reasons to hate lesbian media and not examine that impulse” because we’re all used to that kind of dynamic from the queer cartoon wars of the 2010s but this is all your appletv-owning parents’ first rodeo.

Saw an argument saying the hive mind in pluribus is a queer lifestyle Girl, being an individual is a queer lifestyle. Being in the ultimate grouping of conformity is not

I'm thinking Pluribus hits ALOT differently for those in the LGBTQIA+ community than it does for those of you who've never fought off or had to worry about fighting the evil that is conversion therapy. As a trans woman, who's been fending off your entire cisnormative society all my life... Yeah.

never forget the true meaning of Christmas is trying to convince Santa's pikemen to stop present delivery so that the evil centipedes put into gifts by the yokai won't cause belief in Santa to plummet

It never ceases to blow my mind that so many tech, sci-fi, futurism backers ended up swinging so far right. Did they entirely miss the point of the sci-fi novels? That identity, self, personal exploration is something we can nurture and grow? It's like instead they said, "no we like the dystopia."

I was expecting this to happen this week, but I figured it’d be after Christmas. Thank you states attorneys general!

You don't need to think about what is "normal." You are you. One day, the world will come where there is no need to categorize people as LGBT🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Until that day arrives, I will continue to send out this message. Your soul is beautiful.

soooooon. soooooooooooooooon

If you do not support trans people - by actively dedicating your time and money (if you have it) and voice to their cause - you are a failure of morality and humanity and you are not just a bystander but a culpable participant in one of the most violent attempts at eugenics of our time.

I feel like I'm going to get a lot of use out of this Pluribus screencap

I love that the show makes its politics clear in small and seamless ways that don't feel obtrusive. The pronoun jokes, the conversation therapy trauma, Manousos trying to cross the Darien in a desperate attempt to reach the US border. They trust the viewer to grasp what they trying to say.

I LOVED this line.

"Check on your trans frie-" No. Give them money. Hire them. Buy them a video game.

It doesn't have to be like this, is the thing We don't have to be ruled by wealthy child rapists We don't have to let them divide us, to keep us weak and afraid, to argue over which group is small and weak enough to sacrifice this time We can just get rid of them and live our lives

Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

Think about this. Did you hear trans panic headlines in the 2000s? No. Conservatives weren’t “worried” about trans people until the day they lost on Marriage Equality. Once they realized most of us are just fine with gay marriage, they needed a new wedge issue and started attacking trans people.

I can *100% assure you* that if this report found that trans people & "wokeness" tanked the Harris campaign, the DNC would release it in a heartbeat

Notice how Trump and Republicans were having the worst couple weeks in the administration's history and they decided to pivot to hardcore attacking trans people?

For the first time in what feels like forever, I made some art! It's fanart of @magicariot.com's delightful queer magical girl series Magica Riot, in the style of that one cute eyecatch from Sailor Moon R

I put out the first sequel to my trans magical girl novel this year 🥹 if folks ever loved Sailor Moon but want it with more Portland queer rock band energy, this series is for them! magicariot.com

AAAAA THIS IS SO GOOD 🥹 my girls! my beloved girls!

The best sailor moon eyecatch!!! Only for the best!

I have hope that we're going to get through this, but when we do, we're not going to forget the alleged allies who folded like wet paper

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣

man, the collective grief from older trans people at the violent death of the world we briefly hoped was coming, a world in which trans children would be recognised, loved, and helped... yeah.

Truth!

If you’re a trans woman you have to actually go outside and meet other trans women. All too many times I see self hating girls put themselves down online for not being traditionally feminine and damnit you HAVE to go outside to the club or any social gathering with other trans women.

There are TONS of other types of bodies out there, you only see the women who appear traditionally feminine because that’s who society pushes upwards the most, because society is shallow as all fuck. Cis women literally experience the same thing.

But if you’re not feeling like you fit in YOU HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE!!!! You have to carve out and work for your space. I promise there are more girls like you out there and you’ll find love in others and love for yourself.

It's a bit late, haven't checked in a few days, anyhoo... Congrats to @tillybridges.bsky.social and @susanlbridges.bsky.social This is an amazing short film and if you ever get an opportunity to see it, Do it! remember to bring tissues for the tears.

Congrats to @tillybridges.bsky.social and @susanlbridges.bsky.social , this is well deserved! If any of you get a chance to see this powerful little film, please do so, it's wonderful 💗

“let trans kids suffer and die or go to jail for ten years” is state-enforced murder CALL YOUR REPS TRANS KIDS DESERVE TO LIVE THEY NEED YOU 🩷

"people with renaissance-level art skills don't exist anymore" yes they do their username is something like 03748218_ and they spend all their time drawing pornography so deranged it'd kill hugh hefner a second time

none of the ai slop commercials these companies churn out will have even one-tenth of the cultural impact as the folgers incest commercial and i think that's beautiful
