right! I have to put a description here don't I? I'm a queer trans artist on the autistic spectrum that deals with depression and anxiety. I used to be a librarian, might again one day. I curse if you don't like it fuck off.

The first article in a 3 part series — you can read the article here: murmurations.space/2026/08/05/a... This is such a good article. If you’ve ever wondered about the extent that mis/disinformation plays in anti-trans bias, Heath’s article addresses that very issue.

This horrific ruling in the UK went into effect today. Trans people can't use the right bathroom or be in the right hospital ward. Their bodily functions are being policed by people like JKR. Monsters. Stand with trans friends. They need all of us. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

@planetx.bsky.social @katelynburns.com @danacorn.bsky.social was hoping y'all might be able to help out violet's friend by sharing her post. I don't know them (at least that I know of) but I know violet and anyone that's friends with her has to be fucking amazing.

I forget how much I hate reading baseball sports blogs after the trade deadline. "weh! my team didn't make the moves I told them too! the GM clearly sucks because he didn't hit people over the head to make them do what he wanted!"...

It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

After acing her exams and sort-of convincing her traditional mother that it was a good idea for a woman to go to college, she looked forward to soaking up the ideas of Western Literature far from the drudgery she was promised at her family’s restaurant. But literature class would prove to be just the start of a massive turning point, still focused on reading but with life- or-death stakes she never could have imagined. This was during South Korea's Fifth Republic, a military regime that entrenched its power through censorship, torture, and the murder of protestors In this charged political climate, with Molotov cocktails flying and fellow students disappearing for hours and returning with bruises, Hyun Sook sought refuge in the comfort of books. When the handsome young editor of the school newspaper invited her to his reading group, she expected to pop into the cafeteria to talk about Moby Dick, Hamlet, and The Scarlet Letter. Instead she found herself hiding in a basement as the youngest member of an underground banned book club. And as Hyun Sook soon discovered, in a totalitarian regime, the delights of discovering great works of illicit literature are quickly overshadowed by fear and violence as the walls close in.

I may or may have threatened to find whichever fucking twit at youtube is showing me explicit trans hate ads that i'd find them and smacks them. YouTube/Google can fuck all the way off with these offense trans hate ads.

Iron Spike@ironspike.bsky.social · 5d ago

Thanks, gang. Appreciate it. I love it when you buy my comics, but if you’re not the comics-reading type and just wanna cover the groceries instead, I’m not gonna say no. :V Link’s still good, by the way!

BTW, gonna re-link this cuz it always seems like there's someone who's hearing about it for the 1st time: Weee! is a VERY fast, mail-order Asian grocery site. It can be ridiculously cheap (got 5 .lb of potatoes for $1.99 last go), I love it. Here's a referral code. www.sayweee.com/en/account/r...

I no longer feel safe in this country... or other parts of the world. so much hatred. we like to think we've grown so much since ancient Greece and rome... but we've grown so far backwards in many ways

INTO THE DROWNING DEEP by Mira Grant is only $2 in US eBook format today! That's less than half the cost of a cup of decent coffee for hours and hours of meticulous marine biology research leading you to the horrors of the deep!

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
