it's hard not to take this shit as a personal betrayal or face-spit sometimes

What I hate about COVID downplayers is… you won okay. In the aftermath of humanity coming together to develop the most crucial vaccines of our lifetime & collectively sacrificing to save lives, we are now less safe, less vaccinated & less empathetic than ever. You won ok. Lay down your swords.

don't spread COVID et al. at SDCC, wear a mask please

Reminder that it's never too late to start or resume wearing a mask in public spaces. Community health is community safety.

Please donate, our attempt at home remedy did not go as planned

This is a very thorough statement and I support the artists collective. I truly hope there can be a positive resolution. I want there to be a thriving space for interesting, political, and queer comics, but that also needs to come with fair treatment to the artists who make those books.

"the gender ideology movement is a house of cards .... [trans athletes] will be the card that makes all of it crumble" -Riley Gaines in the NYT, August 2025 www.them.us/story/riley-...

Swimmer Riley Gaines Admits She's Just Using Sports to Make Trans Rights "Crumble"

Gaines notably tied with Lia Thomas, a trans swimmer, for fifth place at the NCAA championships three years ago.

Jay Willis@jaywillis.net · 3w ago

I found this quote from Riley Gaines to be really striking. Straight-up conceding that the purpose of trans sports bans is to normalize transphobia, and to give "ordinary" people "more cover" expressing it in public. ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/anti-trans...

Amelia is right. I do not have words. I didn't do a fundraiser when I was going through pancreatic cancer treatment and I certainly didn't want to have to do this one. But I am very fortunate to have friends who bully with love. And never forget the fact I need this at all is a systemic failure!

Amelia Emberwing@thatwitchmia.bsky.social · 3w ago

Our buddy @bjcolangelo.bsky.social needs a little help from her friends (and I'm a bully). BJ needs what is, essentially, a full mouth replacement thanks to cancer radiation. We can't eliminate the dental trauma, but we can help with the life-altering debt. www.gofundme.com/f/bj-needs-a...

Missouri governor openly bragging that his state's onerous age-verification bill caused Pornhub to stop being accessible in the state. Censorship was always more important than safety.

compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission, ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite; all of which are American dreams.

millions of fireworks will go off in the next 48 hours. the protest at the center of the Prairieland case last July 4th — a year ago tomorrow — was a noise demo setting off fireworks for the detainees inside the ICE facility. did you know the federal government categorized fireworks as explosives?

The myth underlying this is that trans people (trans women specifically) were ever "invisible." We were objects of fascination, scorn, mockery, and fetishizing long before 2014 (for about the entire history of mass media really). What really broke a lot of brains was the idea we deserved dignity

GIMP crashed when I was almost done drawing this, but tech failures only make it *easier* to make a terrible comic #makeaterriblecomicday

this is the worst outcome for a URL that should, by all rights, simply be hosting pornography of some manner

Pump.Fun started out as a platform where people could launch and hype their own memecoins. But as that particular boom began to fade, it announced a new feature that allows users to "pay anyone to do anything." The result is a chilling glimpse into global inequality and exploitation.

- elliot page comments on healthy vs. unhealthy expressions of masculinity - matt taibbi falls over himself to vice signal about how actually the only real kind of masculinity is unhealthy - this somehow proves transness is fake really incredible stuff coming from the cisgender brain trust of late

friends, Carta is an incredible artist and has given so much to her trans and queer community, can we get some momentum going to restore her mobility out in nature? disabled folks deserve nature too, friends, we all deserve nature.
