regulating how and when and in what tone and in what art and on what platforms and what feelings you're supposed to have about it when it comes to discussing sexual assault is just a tool to suppress discussion of it. It is another way to force sexual assault back into the realm of secrecy and shame

it’s really damn bleak right now & it’s hard to feel good about anything but some trans folks out there are 100% determined to make sure every trans person is exactly as panicked as they are in a way that’s not additive or informative & i’m not sure that’s helpful or what solidarity looks like.

"Is ethel cain problematic?" Can you resolve conflict in your real life? Do you know how to dice vegetables or cook raw meat? Are the people in your life ones who feel loved by you? Do you enjoy your own company? Not tolerate, but enjoy?

also give money to Emily Gwen, designer of the lesbian flag, in whatever way you can because she intentionally makes the flag design free-to-use but struggles financially while big corporations slap her work on cheap garbage and make millions

the "don't talk to me" theory of venture capital: silicon valley money flows into whatever business promises to remove any human interaction- a cab driver, a waiter, a delivery driver, now a personal secretary- whom a rich guy might be forced to acknowledge as a person

As everyone knows, the sewer rats are your friends. But just because it's a rat in a sewer, that doesn't mean it's a sewer rat. If it's just called "Rat", it may attack. Know the difference before it's too late.

if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead”

even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.

Internet! You know what to do!
So Utah, having passed a transphobic bathroom bill, has launched an online form for people to snitch on folks they think are in the "wrong" bathroom or locker room. Be a real shame if people on the Internet flooded it with fake reports: ut-sao-special-prod.web.app/sex_basis_co...
