Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.

@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

It's extremely confusing to have sports at the same time as fascism. I don't know what the posts mean.

The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Text has been altered from original. It reads
Fiftieth Anniversary
Frog and Toad Are Antifa
by Arnold Lobel

Apparently people have been getting their needs fully met from that thread I started as well as the multiple other threads inspired by Link.

If this doesn’t demonstrate Link’s impact and the value of BlueSky as a mutual aid network, I don’t know what can.

Keep it up y’all.

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Like, there are power users here who don't believe sincere moral convictions exist, because they need to hate everyone who was right about The Horrors before they were. There are people here who are so overloaded with negativity that they turn it into a group sport, and lash out when someone notices

I mean, bit of both? Boris Johnson and Trump are buffoons but Steven Miller and Alice Weidel aren't.

Trump rolled out fortress Europe along the southern border during his first term, complete with pushbacks and all.

In '21 we begin to see the expansion of Frontex and a switch to a "detain and deport" model.

Now Stephen Miller is doing the UK's failed "Rawanda Plan".

I think fascism is best understood as (in part) a transatlantic phenomenon with Europe borrowing ideas from the US and the US borrowing ideas from Europe throughout its history (including now.)

When I see this, I wonder if people realize that Jim Crow racism in the American south was a type home-grown fascism. It was not (just) a superficially genteel system of social deference. Refusing to defer was often met with incredible violence designed to terrorize the entire Black community.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

For anyone needing a boost today- check out the kind folks of Nashville coming together to build 100 everything-but-the-meds HRT kits for trans people in their community 💜

That’s a year’s worth of harm reduction supplies for 100 people. Thank you Nashville, with more to come!

The revolution will be powered by spreadsheets. 😤

Phoenix Calida @phoenixcalida.bsky.social · 1d

My spicy take for this moment-

Too many of you do not understand the concept of infrastructure. How systems are built, how systems are maintained.

You want big bold action but haven't committed to the planning and the boring mundane tasks needed to make said action possible.
