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. 💗

For Love Week at The A.V. Club, I got a chance to write about the excellent VN Misericorde and how its queer hot mess disaster protagonist struggles against her own deeply entrenched religious beliefs.
In Misericorde, queer love and attraction are weighed down by the cross
Misericorde is a sharp visual novel about 15th century nuns that conveys the crushing weight of queer repression.

if you click on my ko-fi goal, there's a list of immediate needs that i need to cover & there's also a list of the medical debt that needs to be cleared ASAP.

What the last two centuries have taught us is that capitalism is a system which exists to create and maintain oligarchy, with an oligarch defined as one who steals/hoards resources on a grand scale while blatantly transgressing social norms in the most disgusting ways imaginable to prove their power

ICYMI: I introduced my Trans Bill of Rights with @markey.senate.gov — legislation to defend trans people across this country as Republicans continue to push anti-trans rhetoric and bills.

This elitist view that only rich/Ivy/private school kids should study/have access the liberal arts is so deeply ingrained in so many highly educated Democrats’ views (including tons who majored in the lib arts themselves) that they don’t even realize they hold it, let alone how ugly & elitist it is
(3) But the Democrat view is also bad: while it's fine for people at Princeton and Harvard to study Latin and Sanskrit, public higher education is about job training and $ ROI. There is no room for the idea that curiosity-driven inquiry is a good that should be supported by the public.

It’s so worth remembering that the movement against us is barely a decade old. This is new, and it’s not forever. We will win.
a stat i always cite is the number of anti-trans articles in the press went from 60 in a year, to 7,500

I need some real sicko lesbians to get to make more movies. I'm kind of over mainstream movies having their kink ve so uninteresting. "What if a man was...dominant? Teehee~" No! What if your aunt killed your parents, snipped your tendons, cut out your tongue, and then made you her daughter's pet?!

if not because of his transphobia and liberal fascism then we should at least acknowledge men who podcast should not only not be in power, they should probably all be in a cage together

At this point I think we can disqualify Newsom based on the fact that he is a known podcaster

It also sure is a choice to willingly take on (justified) criticism for making Heathcliff white only to cast Edward and Nelly, the functional "obstacles" to their romance, as Asian. We really put here blaming "devious Asians," especially Asian women, for struggling white love. Wiiiiiild...

But also I think it's beautiful this film dares to ask: "What if the real villain of Wuthering Heights are two straight girls who crave bdsm so much that they make a poor little meow meow go mad?"

Like, majority of my theater was lesbians who found all the overtly het bits incredibly funny (Heathcliff did consent check-ins! Lmao).

i feel sorry for everyone going all why is there no manga/anime with no trans chars when there exists accessible mediums like visual novels where that actually happens cause we can tell our own stories entirely independently without relying on billion dollar studios to fund and censor the projects
tbh if you're not plugged into the indie oelvn scene already what the hell're you doin!!! the scene is bursting at the seams with cool stuff and there are so many works that are criminally overlooked within it, play some real shit!

while us cultural hegemony has no doubt influenced the globe, i think a more internationalized multicultural world as opposed to intl. us cultural hegemony is probably going to be a more productive one in terms of artistic creation, including the art made in the us as well
people born in america probably don’t realize how cool america used to be. the death of US soft power is going to have long term consequences we are only beginning to see
