Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.
Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

No words. The timing here is unimaginably cruel. It's not just dumping salt on the wound, it's dumping acid on it.

The hotline is still available for the next few weeks. We will find ways to keep our community safe, even without the permission of those trying to kill our kids.
Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Isn’t this what Pride is, peppered with anecdote and journey, exploration and finding newness again and again
This year, in the absence of any media outlet or corporation asking me to write about Pride, I challenged myself to write a Pride essay I’d actually want to read. This is what I wrote. open.substack.com/pub/johnpaul...

I want there to be an abundance of queer content from various perspectives and lived experiences so that we all don’t hang up our hopes and dreams for representation on whatever one piece of queer media actually gets greenlit.

I think what "AI artists" don't understand is that when people uplift artists, it's not because of the final product, it's a recognition of the work and thought that went into it.

That's the soul of art, not some pretty picture slop.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.
Federal prisons prep to move trans inmates as early as next week

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide

if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported

this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order

it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist
