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.

It feels crazy to say thank you to a politician for even acknowledging we exist, let alone expressing concrete goals to help us. But. Thank you Big Z

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.

GIRL MUSIC 012: THE WHITE STRIPES | MEG WHITE AND JACK WHITE | “HEY LITTLE APPLE BLOSSOM, COME AND TELL ME WHAT YOU’RE THINKING”
Girl Music

“With the White Stripes, we were trying to trick people into not realizing we were playing the blues.”

GIRL MUSIC is independent music journalism for anyone that loves pretty art and music.

“I got into blues in my late teens. I knew about Robert Johnson from the bands that covered him. And when I heard him, I thought it was OK. Then I heard Son House’s a cappella song “Grinning in Your Face” [from the 1965 Columbia album Father of Folk Blues]. That was a transformative moment. There’s nothing there, just that voice. And what he was singing made so much sense to me.”

— JACK WHITE, Rolling Stone, 2005

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

i think it is fair to request a statement from @jay.bsky.team on TRANS PEOPLE and where we fit in on @bsky.app.

i think as a transgender journalist, it's acceptable and makes sense for me to ask this

and so, the question, am i not a person as a trans girl and do i not deserve to feel safe here?

Let me take a minute to remind folks that Christopher Columbus did NOT discover new lands. These lands were already home to Indigenous peoples since time immemorial, they were never wild or in need of taming. We had language, culture and even a spiritual connection to Creator.

1. Anti-trans outrage is losing its bite.

Last week, Elon Musk led a mass boycott campaign to get trans characters removed from shows on the platform.

Major conservatives joined in.

Now, we have the result: the boycott was a fizzle, and Netflix stock is up.

Netflix Stock Up As Elon Musk's Anti-Trans Boycott Fails To Materialize

Last week, conservatives tried to cancel Netflix to force the carrier to remove transgender characters.

Drake sitting there reading about how good the judge thought the song was and how everyone really enjoyed it

The song contains lyrics explicitly accusing Drake of being a pedophile, set to a catchy beat and propulsive
bassline. "Not Like Us" went on to become a cultural sensation.

It's still International Lesbian Day for one hour here, it counts and colloquially so do these two.

Prompt #21, "Love of my life"

#OC-tober #scribbles #inamorata

Two women, one in black and one in white, lying on their backs in opposite directions, their heads turned to face each other, fingers loosely playing with one another's hair, noses just barely not touching. They gaze at one another, infatuated.

File this under that unique brand of cooperation framed as opposition that’s been so in vogue among elected officials this year.

broadview-il.gov/media/33thwv...

WHEREAS, DHS and ICE's reportedly poor treatment of those processed at the BPF has,
predictably, sparked protests; and
WHEREAS, due to the recent escalation of violence by ICE at the BPF, including, but not limited to, needlessly deploying tear gas, pepper spray, mace, and rubber bullets at individuals and reporters, thereby injuring Village residents, Village police officers, and Village firefighters (as well as damaging Village property in the process), I find that it is in the best interests of the Village and its residents to temporarily place time restrictions on protests at the BPF in order to protect the Village's well-being;
NOW, THEREFORE, by the powers vested in me as the President of the Village of Broadview, and pursuant to Title 1, Chapter 5 of the Village of Broadview Code of Ordinances ("the "Village Code") and any other approved ordinances or laws of the Village of Broadview and the State of Illinois, I hereby order the following:
SECTION 1: Effective immediately this 6' day of October, 2025, the Village is setting the hours that people can protest or gather at the ICE Processing Facility located at 1930 Beach Street, Broadview, Illinois and the designated protest area of 2000 South 25th Avenue, Broadview
Illinois as 9:00 am to 6:00 pm CST; however, said order may be rescinded should I deem the restriction no longer necessary in order to protect the health, welfare, and safety of the residents of the Village.
