An enraging thread, but also revealing about how transphobia works in liberal states, with trans rights on paper but with a massive list of "terms and conditions" that leaves out many.
You have rights, sure, unless you're poor, a protester who angers conservatives, a prisoner, the list goes on...

Radaskiewicz-King was charged under hate crime statutes meant to deter violent symbolism such as nooses or swastikas--implying that a trans symbol is hateful or violent against Catholics. Those charges were dropped.
The judge denied her bail for 'public safety,' despite harming no human.

the horseshoe: an open cached sandwich with a slice of Texas toast, choice of meat (hamburger patty is the most popular, I like mine with breaded chicken) topped with fries and so much cheese sauce. The smaller version that most ppl get is naturally called a ponyshoe

I'm running low on this particular edition of Catgirl Hospital and So You Want to Get Trepanated so it's a good time to snag these. I'm still deciding what I want the new edition to look like since I have 2 color riso now.
I'm also free to take a few commissions! DM if interested

I had worked it out that I could attend saturday of MFF but I'll be so real I'm waiting to see how this situation with tactical gear works out before I buy my badge. in either case my neighborhood is easy to get to from the con center for anyone who wants to come into the city to hang

It's deeply saddening that @furfest.org and other cons still view this as not worthy of action
I love mff. There's cool staff working there, but guys you literally have a weird maga dumbass that both incites furries and attracts randos hating on furries while in tac gear ->

To sum up this thread, given recent events in the Chicagoland area due to ICE activity, for the safety of all attendees, especially international attendees, I am calling on @furfest.org to ban tactical gear & modern police/military costumes from the con space
That is the least I can ask from MFF

Furries, we need to talk about something very important. With Midwest FurFest just a month away, we need to address the elephant in the room
For the past few months, ICE, Border Patrol, & other federal agents have been storming throughout the Chicago area, where MFF is located (1/5)

the modern military gear at furry conventions is already tasteless but seriously Do Not Bring That Shit To Chicago. For the comfort and safety of others and yourself. Locals will not look on you kindly for wearing that, you will get whistles blown at you and video taken of whatever you are doing

i hate seeing people in these outfits at furry cons and mff should absolutely ban them in light of ice activity in chicagoland. pack it up special agent yiff
Last month, another furry convention, BLFC in Reno, banned tactical gear & other modern police/military costumes before the con. This came amid a mass shooting at their host venue this summer

I don't think I've come across a poem that taps into my ethos when it comes to navigating queer community within the context of a hostile world as much as "We Have Enough Dead Friends" by Lena Oleanderson.
I strive to make my home a sanctuary where other faggots feel safe and cared for.
