I wish it didn’t feel so unusual and inspiring to see a leader treating everyone like they matter and saying that we have a responsibility to help each other
Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

Everyone should read Gendertrash from Hell!
(And buying it from porter sq books is a *great* choice)
If you're hyping a book on social media, include a link to a specific store. If you just say "Everyone should read Gendertrash from Hell," it'll go into the ether & you know who is going to get that sale. But if you add this to your post well, that's different: portersquarebooks.com/book/9781964...
Gendertrash from Hell: The First Print Collection of the Zine That Changed Everything
A long-lost zine reveals the secret history of contemporary transgender culture "A breathtaking archive of our community ... An absolute vital work for a precipitous time." --Lilly Wachowski, co-director of The Matrix "Searing, witty, critical and defiant ... It feels just as pressing now as it did in the early 1990s. ... The pages of Gendertrash are filled with poems, essays, rants, fictions, speeches, surveys, interviews, resource lists and personal ads--largely for and by trans people, against the straight establishment, as well as the cis gay and lesbian movement, who were only too happy to throw trans people under the bus in order to gain rights for themselves. Sound familiar?" --Xtra In 1993, Mirha Soleil-Ross and Xanthra Phillippa MacKay, fed up with a gay scene that rejected trans people and a trans scene that saw no alternative to going "stealth," began to publish the zine Gendertrash From Hell. Over four issues, they interviewed sex workers and prisoners; they printed collages, soap operas and polemics; they ran regular sections with titles like "Trannies Speak Out" and "Hooker of the Month". They redefined transsexual culture forever, and their explosive ideas resonate deeply today. Remastered from the original layouts, this foundational work is now available in book form for the first time, including previously-unseen drafts from the unfinished fifth issue and essays by Trish Salah and Leah Tigers. Irreverent, furious, reckless, sexy, hilarious and incisive, Gendertrash from Hell is here to set all your presuppositions on fire.

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

A quite large oil on canvas portrait of Lorna from 1991. This one is stored away rolled up with other canvases but I just spotted a photo of it on my camera rolll. She was a frequent and very patient sitter for portraits when she lived nearby and has several of them (more available!)

lrt: npc dialogue is not only a "fun part" but there's something about it where it's one of the places you can see the idiosynchracies of the writer. toby fox, tim schafer etc, write NPC dialogue that you feel like only they could write

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Steam intentionally killing an old, respected, and beloved decade old indie game studio through bullshit policy is fucking wild
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...
