If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

Gonna start sharing some of the books that have been getting me through the bs this year. #1 “A Last Supper of Queer Apostles” HIGHLY recommend this collection of essays by Chilean queer author and activist Pedro Lemebel.

Over the last month, 206 authors, critics, editors, and diehard readers came together to vote on the best transfeminine literature of 2024. This is the inaugural TFR Reader’s Choice Awards! 🥳

This needs saying.

Within living memory it was literally illegal to be trans in public. Within living memory queer communities faced a horrific genocide. Within my lifetime anti-queer violence was far, far more widespread. People fought anyway.

Do not assume all is lost. We do not have the luxury.

The world is a shitshow, so I’m just gonna start posting some of my silly lil art. here’s a sketch I did in class practicing shading.
