for everyone else: buy trans literature & art NOW while you can.
there’s a non-zero chance that queer and *especially* trans voices wind up being temporarily silenced at some point over these next 4 years.
support trans people *now* while we can still ask for help & make incredible art in public.

Basic Issue Cis White Guys like me. Listen up.
No, this isn't an exaggeration in any way. Trans Erasure is going to be part of banning all porn (mentioning LGBTQ+ will be considered porn) and establishing a national firewall (information control).

Crimes (Countering Foreign Interference) Amendment Bill
Thought this week might be a bit of a breather but it seems there is another sneaky wee bill being snuck through our Parliament and legislative systems.

Voices for Freedom and others like them are working hard to get submissions in support of the bill, if most submissions are in support they'll be handed a propaganda victory, and claim that "most New Zealanders" are in support. Don't let them have it

Scraped my two and a half semi-functioning brain cells together to submit opposing the nonsense of the day. Even if you just manage a few words I think it's important to go on record opposing this abomination. Toitū Te Tiriti! ❤️🤍🖤

As someone on Medicare who relies on telehealth, I'm begging you to take a moment to sign this AND call your representatives.
Also, in case you weren't aware, you can always call more than once about a topic. They don't track who is calling, just the number of calls.

Unless Congress acts in the next three weeks, Medicare will stop covering telehealth.
For people too sick to leave home for months, including millions who have been disabled by Covid, this will mean losing all access to healthcare.
Please sign this petition urging your representatives to act

hmmmm remember when rahaeli, the co-founder of dreamwidth, did this exact thing to @stitch.bsky.social? because it was only like a year and a half ago and i SURE DO
Her insistence that I had, in fact, done something different and horribly wrong, something that was so bad that she could tell everyone I did it, but she couldn’t tell me what it was, was the single whitest, most racist thing in this whole shebang.

Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur to Palestine, said that Israeli and allegedly foreign soldiers were “perfidiously hiding in an aid truck” during the hostage rescue operation.
If true, and I imagine Albanese wouldn’t say this lightly, that’s absolutely perfidy - a serious war crime.

Again - we also have decades and decades of evidence to show that "watchful waiting" doesn't work, doesn't meaningfully reduce regret, and leads to horrible mental health outcomes - and death.
Can we just pause for a moment to think about the fact that trans people have been medically transitioning now for so many decades and none but a tiny segment of separatist radical feminists gave the slightest shit.
