Mamdani promises to deploy *hundreds* if lawyers to fight for trans rights, create a new office of LGBTQ affairs, and allocate millions of dollars to fund housing and healthcare for trans kids and adults

This is what fighting back looks like--elevating activists to materually support trans people.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

just being straight up 100% serious that if you are cis you should have to either pass an oral exam on whipping girl or secure the signatures of 40 trans people, one of whom is julia serano, before being allowed to shove trans shit into your tv shit

Julia Serano @juliaserano.bsky.social · 1d

apparently the new Netflix show Monster: The Ed Gein Story invented an "autogynephilia" backstory for their serial killer (because of course they did!). so time to re-up my collection of writings on this pseudoscientific zombie theory...

Why do I feel like there was a Halo AI that had this exact gimmick?

Was doing ok today until unprovoked the thought popped into my head of “oh, I bet our other cat is really sad and confused and has no idea where his friend is” and now I feel like I’m back at square one 💀

Time for a new pinned post because I'm working writer and I need to remember that.

I write about vampires and werewolves doing violent things to eugenicists and fascists, and also about lesbians either being monsters or dealing with monsters (however you might define “monster”).

One of my things about @bitterkarella.bsky.social ‘s Moonflow is how well it captures the feeling that the only thing keeping you going through hellish situations is knowing you have to take care of your stupid helpless cat.

Colin has always excelled at being chill and low-key one of the most talented ones to come out of the band, not to mention he looks like a fucking saint in comparison recently.

I hope someone at NYCC is going to ask pointed questions to Jim Lee and other DC execs about how they fucked over @scumbelievable.bsky.social to please the fascists.
