I created this film over five years ago but I'm still really proud of it and think it is still very relevant and worth sharing!

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

I had a gay male nurse during my early transition - old enough to have grey hair. He told me he thought us younger queer folks are wonderful and brave, and I had a surprise cry. I’d never been spoken to like that by an older queer person. The AIDS epidemic stole from all of us.
I’ll remember.

The problem with satirising Fascist propaganda is that Fascist propaganda is already so ridiculous that the only way to distinguish it from satire is to know the politics of the writer.

You can say what you want about the Victorians (and there is a lot to be said) but they did know how to make little whimsical paths through their gardens!

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.
No refugee underfunded a school.
No refugee closed a hospital.
No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.
We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Write, draw, be creative, take breaks, I don't know, do whatever the hell you've got to do to cope, bro. Keep the things that give you joy close and spread them around. Shit sucks right now. I have no idea when it won't suck so much. But whatever you're doing to get by right now is valid.

I put in a formal complaint about this and they did a classic NHS move: boilerplate reply with a “fact sheet” about what they’re doing
I replied like, “I already know the facts. I’m not requesting info, I’m saying what you’re doing is immoral.” And they ignored it lol

The NHS are forcibly detransitioning trans kids in Brighton and calling it “managed withdrawal.” Their own impact assessment acknowledges trans kids will be at increased risk of harm as a result, don’t want this, and are likely to just use DIY hormones instead

Fascists hate art because it allows people to experience the power of a fantasy: that things are not what they seem, that other people experience things the way you do, that a better world is possible. Imagination is a dangerous weapon when your main tactic is "because I said so"

20 years ago was a miracle to find a fantic in your language, including a ship you like.
Now is a free international buffet where you can eat until you die.
Fan created content saves lives, and it's free. Im serious.

Fanfic writers don’t get enough credit. I can’t say how many times I’ve been crashing out or just in such a deep depression and getting lost in a good fic has soothed me or managed to bring me out of it. Like your world you built with these characters helped someone irl. I think that’s beautiful.

Who needs comedy when you can listen to your parents tactfully point out all the ways you managed to misspell "costume" in the presentation you've been working on and asked their opinion on! 😂

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.
