If you're no longer allowed to burn a US flag, then whatever last scrap of "freedom" that flag may have represented is null and void. A national flag you're not allowed to burn is a flag that must surely be burned.

This is a very useful thread!
I've been just barely keeping myself from drowning in despair lately. Here are some actions that can keep you and others afloat. ❤️🩹

Everyone can contribute something to the fight, but because certain actions tend to get all the coverage, it can be easy to feel shut out. So here's a thread of ways to help that do NOT include:
Going anywhere
Calling anyone

The leftists point out that the emperor has no clothes, and the liberals say that of course he's wearing clothes, it would be crazy for him to be naked, but even if he is naked it would be impolite to point it out.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.

to clarify: TERF = Trans exclusionary radical feminist
SWERF = Sex Worker exclusionary radical feminist
= I do not wish to associate with either type of so-called "feminist" & I have no patience for their harmful ways, especially in burlesque spaces.

I would feel safer with any random trans woman in a public restroom vs. any TERF.
I'd rather wash my hands next to a trans woman, than put up with those "gender critical" bigots who claim to care about our rights/safety, but are just looking for a chance to point fingers and villainize other women.

Drawing this comic feels amazing. It's reminding me that I am actually a professional at making comics and I'm in love with comics again. This is smashing through my burnout. I'm flying through these first pages. Holy shit.
Coming in 2025, my new webcomic, Magical Women! 20 years ago, a team of magical girls failed to save the world. Now that they're all middle aged, is it too late to give it another try and get the gang back together? It'll be on my Patreon here: patreon.com/Rosalarian

If your vote truly did not count, they wouldn't try so hard to keep *certain* people from voting.
No, voting is not the only action we must take, politicians are not our saviors. BUT ALSO we should still fight back against voter suppression & disenfranchisement. Don't give up.

Cannot believe I'm even wasting my breath saying this but every single disenfranchised voter that is technically capable of voting is counted as a "non-voter," so maybe keep that in mind as you make your cute tweets that ignore the partial destruction of the Voting Rights Act of 1965

If we really wanted to promote meritocracy we would level the playing field. I'm talking universal basic income, free education, salary and inheritance limits. Then we would really see who has merit. Anything else is just letting those with advantage gain more advantage.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

I'm begging my fellow cis women to understand this: If you care about women's rights, we must care about ALL women. (Yes, even the ones outside your social circle)
Trans women aren't the enemy.
We will NOT benefit from aligning ourselves with the oppressors.

Remember, it was illegal to wear clothes "not befitting one's sex." It was illegal to be in any type of homosexual relationship. These people were not hurting anybody, but they were still deemed "criminals" and "perverts" by the real abusers--people in power. And yet, they persisted.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.
They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.
Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.
I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Some of the first cave paintings were porn. As long as there have been humans, there has been art of human sexuality.
Reminder that sexual expression in the arts is absolutely normal and human across time and all cultures. Sex is how we all got here, and the arts are how we express our living experiences. There is nothing immoral about it, and it should never be criminalized.
seeing a lot of folks talking about how conservative "pornography" bans are a pretense/prelude to targeting any & all queer or trans art, which is absolutely true
also: banning & criminalizing actual honest-to-god porn is fascist in itself. say that too!
