I spent the evening outside the Whipple federal building in Minneapolis, where the feds have been releasing people they detained — often for no discernible reason — into the freezing cold... wearing whatever little clothing they had on at the time they were taken.

Just a reminder that there is zero evidence of sex self-ID being abused in New Zealand after two and half years of it.
Nor any evidence of any attacks by trans women on cis women in women’s spaces in NZ, ever.
Stop trying to create solutions for problems that don’t exist.

It's my birthday coming up in a few weeks but all I really want is for Marin's surgery to go smoothly and be able to take care of them after without worry - if any of you can help out, we'd really appreciate it
Work knows, I can be public about it!
I am scheduled for bottom surgery on 2/4. I do not qualify for Short Term Disability, so I need help staying afloat while I'm down. I'm working double shifts in tech support/writing dub scripts until 2/3, anything is DEEPLY appreciated!

It's a weird time to be trying to release a book in the US for the first time, but I guess we all need some medieval werewolves and queer yearning amidst The Horrors? Anyway, it's only a week until THE WOLF AND HIS KING comes out in North America, and the NA edition is VERY pretty:

Some advice for protesting while autistic
1. Prepare in advance
Watch footage you find so you get an idea of what's going on and things you might have to deal with. Learn who the organizers are & what the goals are. Learn what the strategies are. Talk them through with your buddy. Prepare mentally.

There are a lot of things I wish people from other states knew, and here's one: most of the churches here are VERY MUCH part of the resistance to the occupation.
The reality Im seeing in MN is that most of the mainline churches, even moderately conservative ones, are taking love thy neighbor very seriously.
Our annual meeting at the cathedral on Sunday ended with parishioners discussing what to do under this occupation to care for our community. 🕯

If Miller wants to stop the recruitment and training of domestic opposition, he's going to have to start shutting down ELCA parishes.

The 'confused autistic girls' narrative is a toxic mix of ableism and misogyny that's very much predicated on the idea that our bodies don't belong to us, they belong to our parents, or our hypothetical husbands, and that we have no right to 'mutilate' ourselves out of being breeding stock.
