I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

i think part of the reason both liberal allyship and queer politics are so often utterly useless in the face of the continuous onslaught of transphobic lawfare is that they believe that explicitly transmisogynistic efforts designed to isolate, underclass, and kill trans women+girls as the conduit to do these things to all other women and trans people can somehow be fought by doing anything else except supporting and fighting for the "icky" trans women and girls being targeted, or understanding the precarity of the social position from which this arises. just a series of endless gotchas and spelling mistake corrections and empty words

I released a zine: Looking at Writing Black Characters!

Rather than being a guide on Writing Black Characters, it's a reflection on those guides, popular media, discourse, and has some tips here and there.

Created Media Essay Zine Jam. Thanks for hosting!

with Black Friday being this Friday the 28th, this is the time to maximize the impact we can have via call campaigns

If you plan to participate in this call campaign, imo you should heavily prioritize calling Visa/MC as heavily as possible between the 27th and the 1st of dec

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

@sumiaou.bsky.social

weird people fall in love with each other all the time

1st panel: A dismal, awkwardly warmly lit hotel / convention center panel room like what you would see in the 90s or 2000s. A pink rabbit fursuiter holding a build-a-bear wolf, having waited in the corner, waves to an approaching blueberry wolf fursuiter. They both call out their usernames, "Blueberry Bella" and "KidfurKiki87"

2nd panel: Out of suit, the two are cuddled together on the couch in quilts and blankets. The build-a-bear wolf is resting against the build-a-bear bunny. Bella is holding Kiki, their fursuit heads on the dresser in the background. Behind the fursuit head, a "Days until Kiki's home: 0!" Lanyards of past conventions and their years are on a corkboard.

---

Original art piece idea by @mIdrux on Twitter, but I and others were disappointed they drew it with mean-spirited intentions.. even calling the kidfur character a "diddyblud" (yes. verbatim) and getting wrapped up in "proship discourse." I thought the message was too human to let it be diluted + overshadowed by typical online whataboutisms and wanted to redo + reclaim it with more touches of the furry fandom, esp being a furry myself. It's love. For some, the love of your life is in the corner of a boring furcon panel room -- even if they don't have the same "interests," it's care that bridges the gap.
