"We don’t just reset onboarding—we delete their ... uploaded gifs"

I support several trans charities with my work, including donating all royalties from my book.

One of those organisations is Transgender Victoria.

If you donate to them through GiveOutDay between now and 16 October, funds will be matched.

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.

I don't know if other people walking past feed Horsie, but I'd spend the entire morning there just hanging out if I could.

I spend a LOT of my spare time feeding animals. Maybe I should start a hand-feeding animals blog.

"Leia’s death was a “direct consequence of a healthcare system designed to delay, obstruct, and ultimately deny necessary medical treatment to vulnerable trans youth.”"

"was preventable" == "was caused by the Labour government"

Horsie hears me coming from a while away, and walks down to the fence and waits for me. I'll usually spend 5 or 10 minutes just feeding him and patting his big schnozz. Horsies need friends.

He told me the story of his promotion 30 years ago, where he was asked by admin, “What rank do you want?” after teaching at the college for several years.

He replied “senior” and someone wrote it on a form and then he was a full professor and has been ever since (2). 😬

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

The axolotl is called the Relaxalotl and just in general I think I like the vibe of this place's website much more than the place I'm already going to.

Communication must be freed from clickbait and misguided thinking, head of Catholic church tells journalists The Pope has condemned clickbait as a “degrading” part of journalism, at a private audience with global newswires. Australian media representatives were among those to hear directly from Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican on Thursday with about 150 members of newswire alliance MINDS International. Continue reading...
