I have no interest in cultivating a personal social media brand at this time, so I'd rather not put a real bio on here. Thanks for your understanding 🙏

Explicit policies of forcible detransition and mandated conversion therapy are beginning in the US.
The FL Department of Corrections is attempting to "reverse" the gender identity of transgender people in its custody, referring to trans identities as "short-term delusions" and withholding hormone therapy. Reviving psychiatric theories of the 1950s, they blame trans identities on "childhood trauma"

Yep. The goal of anti-porn laws isn't to stop people from seeing pornography. It's to create a class of speech that's legally suppressible, and then apply it to dissent.
We are so tired of being right
A Tennessee Board of Education has now banned Wicked, Beloved and 35 other books as "pornography."
Under a new TN law, any description of sexual activity is "harmful to minors." Another 150 books have already been flagged for removal.
Sex workers tried to warn you.

This week we’re covering something that plagues so many trans people for so long, and can be so incredibly painful:

As I've been saying: It's eugenics
This is genuinely great from Gessen if only because it takes something pretty basic about anti-trans politics (it's part of a broader reproductive regime akin to the eugenics of fascist cults) and explains it to an audience still convinced this has anything to do with fairness in women's sports

Yeah trans people should collectively be able to run months of constant ads telling the GOP to eat shit if Trump loses
I also firmly believe that we need to crush these people’s spirits into blood and earth, not be *nice* to the amoral supporters of an aspirational gore-soaked dictator

I will yell forever about the authoritarian inclination to flatten visual art away from context and provenance in order to reduce them to empty imagery, comforting and unchallenging to the basest of popular desire. Yes, it is manifestly theft, but it is also destroying visual literacy itself.
I hate how many AI art images are showing up in my visual reference searches. I'm not just looking for "images", I'm looking for art that was made at a historical moment to connect me to other human beings and their values and ideas! God damn it, art is more than an image, more than an artifact!
