1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature.
It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money.
The House is voting on it today.

Arts are severely undervalued & underfunded, especially today.
Art programs across nations are getting axed, leaving artists with fewer options to pursue a formal education. Income opportunities for artists are severely dwindling.
We are collectively getting robbed of any and all creative expression
