starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

So I went to an Opeth concert and saw a dude wearing a Knotfest shirt and I know Knotfest is the music festival that Slipknot organises, but I know enough furries that I can’t take it seriously anymore.

Restricting the availability of puberty blockers to trans kids but allowing them for cis kids is a blatant violation of NZBORA (1990) and the Human Rights Act (1993).
This will undoubtedly end up in court - very quickly as the subject of a Judicial Review.

Black trans women are paid dust by cis people and trans people. 21 is too young for a trans girl to die. It's not fucking fair. But per the course, Girlalala will be lost in a sea of stories of trans women of color who aren't as loved or as protected as we should be.
May she rest in peace.

Her memoir, Year of the Tiger, is a fantastic and delightful read that is very Alice to its core, and flagrantly ignores literary convention in service to a good story. It is a story, a scrapbook, a manifesto, a call to arms, a tender and personal narrative.
