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.

Forgot the full name of the camera is a Kodak Vigilant Six-20

Callie @dragonstonekeep.net · Aug 13

Had a lot of issues, tried doing the modifying the 120 roll instead of doing a 620 spool and the camera kept jamming.

My reccomendation is definetly to just respool it, modding the 120 roll is really unreliable. It -might- work in some cameras but not really worth the risk of jamming.

Had a bit of fun and an old Kodak. They turned out really fun! #lomography #filmisnotdead

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning.

- <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT.
- The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia.

The latest from S. Baum.

Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia

“In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

Time to post it again.

A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.
