So, for any cis people who have money, would like to say that if you feel lost about what to do regarding these trans EOs. Please direct yourself to my venmo (@ Zadja) or my cashapp ($ShomariK). Money is a great help in these trying times. 💗

“They were very racist people,” he said. “No one insulted them, neither me nor the other person they detained me with. It was their character, their racism toward us, for being immigrants.”

Returned to reading Veal yesterday. A solid thriller, but so far more interesting to me as a work of slice of life. One defined by changing weather, slippery romance, the trauma of growing up, and ejaculations of terrifying violence against women like yourself. And you keep on living.

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.

Gonna be honest, it did feel a bit like I had been going crazy, especially since even before any of these revelations, a lot of career transphobes were quite openly pedophilic, Germaine Greer self-described as a pederast "like all women of taste", and yet nobody seemed to see the red flags.
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

if i can make art despite having dysgraphia & horrible technique, then so can you

pick up a crayon, sketch a shitty meme, draw an ugly bird w/ a belly & a thick ass

art is supposed to be flawed, imperfections & quirks are the soul of self-expression. pick up a pencil & draw, it’s ok!
queer culture is proudly built from folks thriving despite poverty. ai is stealing the joy of creation from you; i promise you don’t need ai. create unprofessional art!
