Sometimes I get paid to draw. Sometimes I don't, but I draw anyways. If you don't know why you're following me, read my comic in my pinned bloot (I think the posts here should be called bloots). 🏳️‍⚧️

Florida folks: If you have O- blood and are of African or African American descent, OneBlood is searching for donors who have a rare antigen that matches with a teenager with sickle cell disease who needs 50 units of blood so she can have a bone marrow transplant.

"Trans people will always exist." Cool. "They can't kill us all." Comforting. Yeah, transness will survive, but *I* want to survive, too, y'know? But also, survival and existence aren't enough for me anymore, and they shouldn't be enough for allies either. I want to see my trans friends thrive.

Do not speak to me of "barriers to entry". Every act of creation is slicing out a thin sliver of light from the existential darkness of the human condition. You not being able to pick up a fucking pencil and risk failing does not even register.

Los Angeles area friendos! ICE is lurking around the Van Nuys courthouse this morning. If you're in the area, keep an eye out for them abducting people who are actually following the law and attending court hearings. Stay alert, and keep your neighbors safe.

The late great Bob McKnight's artwork is at risk of being seized and destroyed if something isn't done about it. His dearest friend and mentee Rob Griggs has set up a GoFundMe to help save his property, including his extensive art archives. Bob LOVED animation and it's history, help preserve it!

I hit a milestone last week & almost forgot to acknowledge it - I had my 1st professional credit under my new name. I did some storyboards for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, & they didn't use much of my stuff (I think all that was left of my work was the ice cream gag), but I'm in there. As Heather.

Los Angeles Bluesky, I need your help. I just learned that on Saturday at the protest at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, a friend’s 18-year-old son was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by DHS, permanently blinding him. He needs justice. If you were there and saw anything, please… 1/5

About an hour left in this year’s Transgender Day of Visibility - I think the way it works is if you’re cisgender and you haven’t seen a transgender person before midnight rolls around, it means you were secretly the transgender person this whole time. Happy TDOV!

hi, cis folks in NY state! was today a protest day for you? feel recharged? want to take 5-10 minutes & do another achievable thing? the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care in violation of state & city law as an act of overcompliance to trump. tap into the thread to help. ⬇️

hi, cis folks! it’s been a little over a month since the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care. some folks thought this was resolved with a judge’s ruling or a letter from the NYAG. care has *not* resumed! there’s a simple ask ⬇️ for you, if you’re willing to fight with us. 🧵

I'd like to speak with trans adults (18+) whose access to transition care has changed due to state and/or federal policy changes. DM, email Jo.Yurcaba@nbcuni.com or Signal joyurcaba.91

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”

ICE does not need more training. They’re doing exactly what they’re trained to do. Democrats cannot vote for a single cent to ICE.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told: DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big) CBP stays at border warrants for arrests IDs, bodycams ICE out of churches, schools "That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2057...
