I wish this was unbelievable but given who runs the defense department this is 100% believable.

If you'd like to donate to Trans Lifeline in honor of the Trans Day of Remembrance, you can do so here: give.translifeline.org/campaign/746...
Also, do some shopping via trans owned/operated small businesses, especially if you'd just be buying stuff for the sake of it during Black Friday week. 🏳️⚧️

I just want trans people the world over to be able to live in peace, and I don't think that should be an unreasonable ask or expectation.

You need to say it with me: These are snitch boxes, I will not snitch in these boxes.
Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

I will die.
I cannot repeat this often enough. I require dialysis to live. It costs $1000 per treatment. I need treatment three times per week. Without Medicaid, I can't afford it. Without my treatment, I will die.
Republicans are trying to kill me.

Another name for this would be "pre-existing conditions," a way used to exclude disabled people from health care for decades in the US.
Understand, when you hear people talk about "rewarding the healthy" - these are policies that have a body count.

Please understand that "reward people for being healthy", in health insurance, also translates to "punish people for being disabled."
The people who are most vulnerable, most in need, will be asked to bear higher costs, in many cases, pricing them out of accessing health care, into early graves.

psst, no one is struggling with this - we are trying to create singular things that resonate with a huge audience or resonate hugely with a specific audience. We "struggle" with how tech and VC funding has broken almost every creative economy we have. So thanks but no thanks

which is to say: this is most likely what a result skewed _against_ unionization looks like right now

Zita Johann in a publicity shot for "The Mummy" (1932) 3rd in the classic Universal Monsters cycle of horror films.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

When I'm not illustrating Gwelf I like to delve into the world of Faeries, Sprites witches and Woodland Nudes. NSFW but still pretty harmless. If you're curious about this other side of my art you can check it here - www.instagram.com/longbottomle...
