Eight thousand iterations of this discourse later, there is no political utility in calling fascists fat. All you're doing is propping up the brutal hierarchy which lets people like them work up from deniable social torture to state violence.

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners

so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok

don’t worry everyone, Microsoft and Xbox Game Studios are still very much so on the Palestinian BDS boycott list, so you can continue not giving them your money.

So the end of the month kind of snuck up on me when I wasn’t looking, & now I need to come up with my remainder of rent / bills in, like, the next 48 fucking hours. :(

As always, I am DEEPLY grateful for any/all help, even if it’s just $10 or w/e.

This is really hard to read. And the thing that is sitting with me the most about it is that it has always legal and possible to do this for decades. The only thing preventing this from having been the norm was a sense of humanity.

This is why we need structural reform. Not just a change in admin.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

One of the unexpected things I've learned from my advocacy for trans people is how malignant parts of the State can be, how it can misuse data for positively evil purposes. It's taught me people can't be safe with a digital ID card and so I've signed this. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards

We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

Today is my birthday! Read my dark fantasy / erotic horror comic about two transgender freaks fighting a monster and fucking like hell

Arden Ripley @arden.rip · May 26

Oska and Lalo are not people. They are only weapons to be wielded. The Arcana Imperii has pointed them at a divine beast, and yet they still find ways to make each other bleed instead.

THE VOW is a 300 page graphic novel, available now. For mature audiences only. 🩸⚔️

physical // digital

Cover of the graphic novel The Vow, written by Arden Ripley and illustrated by Julian Cormac. Two people are locked in an embrace, with a sword running through both of their bodies, connecting them together. A string of blood connects their mouths. One has fair skin, messy red hair, and Lichtenberg figure scars covering the right side of their face. They're gripping the short blonde hair of the other person, who is shorter and has dark olive skin.
