I wish I could remember the exact phrasing and who said it, but years ago I recall someone describing being a furry as something to the effect of "the tactile euphoria of embodying the inhuman," and I love when furry art makes me revisit that sentiment.
I really like this piece, is my point.

If you're the parent of a trans kid, it is now your responsibility to find out how to obtain HRT for your child. You didn't sign up to be a criminal, but when the state criminalizes your child, it's your job to stand up and put yourself on the line for them

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.
Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

Hi all!
I'm casting my paid mockumentary about YouTube drama culture ($500 CAD, about 3-4 minutes of dialogue, self-tape from home). Looking for a trans woman to play JENNA, an indie TTRPG creator whose Kickstarter blows up and then falls apart. Details + sides:

what with the "shrug, eugenics isn't inherently bad" guy and the "accommodations have gone too far" defenders, it really feels like a rough week (or rougher week than usual) for disabled people, and I would politely ask the universe to KNOCK IT OFF

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

It feels a bit cruel that ever since I began transitioning, I started craving more casual physical affection and I live with a family that doesn’t really do any of that.

The fact that the global trans panic is helmed by conservatives who believe in the subjugation of women being a natural consequence of biology should have maybe been a clue
“That is what makes it so morally bewildering to me that these culture war clowns are supposed to be a bastion of women’s rights. While they try to strip the dignity from a marginalised minority, frontline women’s services are on the verge of collapse.”

Ask not what rights you're ready for trans people to lose so that the left wins. Ask yourself what rights you're ready to lose, yourself, so that the left wins. And if the answer is "I don't see how me losing rights is necessary for the left to win?", go take a long walk on a short pier.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

Mel is less than 200 days away from bottom surgery, after being stuck on a waitlist for over 1200 days
Recently, North Carolina passed a law that banned her state health insurance from covering bottom surgery, something she needs to stay alive
If you're able to donate I would greatly appreciate it

we must frame tonight as a resounding victory — an electoral landslide, a mandate from the universe itself
and as a repudiation of MAGA, of Trump, and of vichy democrats
we must be relentless, we must not shut up
