Not being able to get a job yet has put us in a spot. If you can help, please do.

Nic and I really hate to have to do this, but we are at a point where we're going to need some help with covering some of the costs of our move that we thought were covered but we turned out to have underestimated our initial needs because of how long it took to get us both out of the States.

Today has been about 75% shit and I'm really upset about it. Just adding to the overall sense of panic.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Transsexualism is bourgeois, which is why most of the Western girls I know are crowdfunding their healthcare costs to get it overseas

Valerie @vibingvalerie.bsky.social · 1d

Are women bourgeois?

Ari: WELL I AM

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

I have no clue who Ari Drennen is but Marxist transsexual here. Trans women are some of the most violently lumpenproletarianized people on the planet. Trans women do not own the means of production which is what would make us bourgeois. We are violently barred from the traditional job market.

When a trans woman dies of natural causes, at an age greater than 75, having lived more than half her life as herself, that is cause for celebration, not mourning.

Thank you, Miss Major.

I follow masc lesbians comedians (who are all trans inclusive) and fitness girls - I hate that it's somehow pigeonholing me over to the dark side for some reason.

Nic @icklesofnickles.bsky.social · 2d

I've not had the detrans grifters, but I've been getting a lot of masc lesbians saying it's not transphobic to not wanna date trans women. I've been hitting "not interested" on them but the topics to flag are very vague. I hope that will stop them eventually.

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

Similar to my post about "liberation means even for that annoying guy you hate" - weird art includes art you personally don't get, don't like, wouldn't spend money on, find unsettling. Games you wouldn't play. Books you wouldn't read. Decommercialise your preconceptions of what art deserves to exist

shaydh 🩸FLEDGLING MANOR OUT NOW🩸 @shaydh.bsky.social · Jan 16

Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.

*gets on my soap box* this idea that cis and trans women (in general) and especially cis and trans lesbians don’t have massive amounts of overlapping experiences and anxieties is a function of our oppression as women—as queer women—and is vital to resist
