Having some thoughts about the nature of my fears as a Canadian that I want to try to express in deep solidarity with everyone in Minnesota and elsewhere fighting our common enemy. This thread will not be in the "Canadian asshole" genre. (The opposite, I hope). Still, mute if you want.

With alt-text now.
Bulleted list: -AUP Enforcement: PayPayl strictly prohibits the sale of sexually oriented digital content. The word "commission" can trigger manual or automated account reviews to ensure the content being "commissioned" isn't NSFW. -Shadow Bans & Holds: Many artists report being banned or having funds held for 180 days with no specific explanation often attributed to "high-risk activity" detected by bots. -Potential Fines: Violating the AUP can lead to permanent account deactivation and, in some cases, fines of up to $2,500 per violation deducted from your balance. drowzistatic IMPORTANT PAYPAL PSA FOR ARTISTS & CLIENTS Hey, please read this because a LOT of people don't know until it's already too late. PayPal actively scans payment notes, and accounts are getting flagged, limited, or permanently banned over certain keywords. When that happens, they can freeze your money for 180+ days. For clients / commissioners: DO NOT put these in the payment note: "Commission" "NSFW" <- PAYPAL IS STRICTLY AGAINST ANY SORT NSFW CONTENT AS IT VIOLATES THEIR TOS. "Tip" or "Donation" (if you're paying for a service) AS MUCH AS US ARTISTS APPRECIATES OUR CLIENTS SUPPORT, PLEASE NEVER SPECIFY A TIP. PayPal uses bots /AI that look for these words (especially anything tied to adult content) to enforce their AUP. (Acceptable use policy) For artists: -ALWAYS use vague, SFW descriptions "Digital Illustration: "Artwork Services" "Creative Services"

Recently, I've been writing a great deal about Nationalism as a lens through which we can synthesize our understandings of racism, misogyny, and queer misogyny as interlinked mechanisms that advance a state's reproductive agenda, in the pursuit of reproducing its hierarchies.

We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times.

Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.
Editors' Note, 1/4/26: A spokesperson from The New York Times emailed Trans News Network the Sunday after publication, disputing various parts of the interview. We reject their disputes as unsubstantiated, nitpicking or willful misreads. We have added minor clarifications at two points in the interview alongside the transcript, which remains as published. We stand by our reporting of the interview with Sweeney, former editor and 11-year veteran of the Times. The Times also provided TNN a statement responding to the interview, which we have declined to publish due to its inclusion of overt transphobia (such as framing the existence of trans people as “fiercely contested medical and legal debates”). Even in their PR, it seems that the Times can't stop denigrating our lives and communities. We do not have an obligation to publish damage control on the behalf of a news outlet undergoing a legitimacy crisis because of their own actions.

The Next One Here's what's going to happen next. Somewhere, right now, a trans person is teaching a class, or coaching a team, or working at a library, or providing healthcare. They're doing their job. They're probably good at it. And at some point, someone is going to have a problem with them. Maybe a parent, maybe a student, maybe a coworker. The problem won't really be about job performance. The problem will be that they're trans. That person, or someone connected to them, will take their grievance to social media. If they're lucky, Libs of TikTok will pick it up. Or Turning Point. Or one of the other accounts that have built massive followings by turning trans people into content. The post will frame the trans person as a predator, or a groomer, or a bully, or a tyrant. It won't matter what actually happened. The framing is the point. Then the calls will start. To the school board, to the administration, to the HR department. Local news will cover the "controversy." A state legislator will demand an investigation. The institution, desperate to make the problem go away, will put the trans person on leave. Maybe they'll be fired outright. Maybe they'll resign because the harassment makes it impossible to do their job. Either way they're gone. And then the person who started it all will go on Fox News. They'll get a GoFundMe. Maybe a speaking gig at a conservative conference. If the story is big enough, if it goes viral enough, they might get something more. A podcast. A book deal. A center with their name on it. This is not a guess. This is a pattern. We've watched it happen over and over again, and we will keep watching it happen until the institutions that capitulate to these campaigns start recognizing them for what they are: coordinated attempts to purge trans people from public life, dressed up as individual controversies.
