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.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

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.

‼️HEADS UP‼️

The scam that has been going around a lot lately has reached Tumblr. Be safe out there, y'all!!

A screenshot of a notification on Tumblr's dashboard. It reads: We are aware of scammed targeting Tumblr users by sending messages claiming to have reported the user's account, and asking them to join a Discord channel to submit an appeal. Tumblr will never contact you via another platform such as Discord. If you receive a message asking for your account information, report it to Tumblr Support.

Its almost like anti-porn laws are never actually about porn. 🤔

Mike Stabile @mikestabile.bsky.social · 2d

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs

Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

As Congress works to end the government shutdown, it’s crucial to remind your elected officials to pass clean spending bills.

The initial House bill, H.R. 4754, included harmful riders, including Section 128, which would remove protections for gray wolves in 44 states.

This is amazing. Every time I think I’m done crying someone does something kind like this and I’m in tears again. A weird mixture of happiness and gratitude and just missing him so bad.

Laura @barklaart.bsky.social · 2d

He looked so regal in that pic, I had to draw him! Hope that's OK. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. He looks a beautiful boy who probably purred really loud 🌸☘👑

A digital illustration of an incredibly fluffy cat, drawn in a watercolour-and-ink style. The colours are pastel with lots of yellow, aqua, and cool pink. The cat sits facing us, his bushy white chest contrasting with brown tabby colouring, giving the air of a wise white-bearded king. He has white paws and a white blaze on his face that covers his cheeks and nose. His long, bushy tail curves behind him, adding drama to the seated pose. A gold crown with red gems floats above his head like a halo, sending off radiant lines in the background. He sits on a fluffy white cloud. Around the image is a stylised frame, decorated with red clover (state flower of Vermont) and in the centre, the subject's name: FERGUS.

Someone just reminded me that Fergus was the subject of this tweet years ago that turned into a minorly viral meme. So if you do an image search for 'big strong man tiny potato boy' right now all the top results are Fergus. 🥹

Screenshot of a tweet by me dated 2022. There is a photo of my brown tuxedo. tabby Fergus and the text reads "Fraud alert: local woman makes conflicting statements about her cat, claiming he both a big strong man and a tiny potato boy"
