Californians, let’s call (916) 445-2841 to tell Newsom’s office to sign the following pro LGBTQ+ rights bills before the deadline:

AB 82/SB 497
AB 1084/SB 59
SB 418
AB 554
AB 728
AB 678
SB 590
SB 450

He hasn't signed the other bills yet, but he still has days to do so
This headline is misleading for not mentioning that.

The gender education veto is bad, but far from the most important trans rights bill on his desk.

There's still time to contact Newsom for the rest!

Reminder to cis people that anti trans legislation can and will also hurt you, if you’re not already motivated to care about trans rights. We need stronger state level privacy laws around medical records in a post-Roe world for abortion rights, too.

Screenshot from the news article:

One bill expanded San Francisco state Sen. Scott Wiener's "State of Refuge" law, passed in 2022. The enhanced measure would prevent other states and private entities from subpoenaing private medical records.
At least four bills directly addressed trans protections, including Wiener's healthcare and patient confidentiality measure; streamlining legal name and gender changes, anu enhanced confidentiality requirements for court records; nondiscrimination protections for health insurance plans and an insurance company mandate to offer a
12-month supply of prescription hormones; and a requirement to ensure homelessness programs remain inclusive and nondiscriminatory, combatting federal efforts to force homeless shelters to ban trans people.

I'm super close to 4.7k, I'm tryin' to hit 5k before the end of the year so I can do a giant raffle or something

If you enjoy beachy, colorful, often monster girl art please take a peek and maybe repost 😔🙏

BLAKE 🏝 @aerifiretruck.bsky.social · 23d

the beach ☀️
the reef 🐚
the sea 🌊
the depths ☠️

Sunni (the artist's siren oc, or original character) poses on the beach in a landscape digital art image. She is completely horizontal with the ocean and a bright blue sky behind her. She has water arms, legs, and neck, and wears a cream bikini. She also has tan skin and green eyes. The art is in a pinup style and would look great as a desktop wallpaper!

Two mermaids are displayed from a camera angle at their thighs, accentuating their boobs and hourglass figures from below.

The left mermaid has pink hair and scales, with a baby blue bikini top and gold cuffs. She has a mischievous expression and webbed ears.

The right mermaid is Sirena, aptly named for a Siren, and the artist's oc. She has blue to pink hair made of ocean waves, water covering her forearms and hands, and wears a blue seashell bikini top. Her tits are ginormous. Her tail is a periwinkle and she has various pearl and seafoam accessories.

Both women are underwater. Vivid corals, greens, blues, pinks are visible in the vegetation. The picture is colorful and bright.

Two women's full bodies are shown underwater. There is colorful purple, blue, pink, yellow, and black fish representing the palettes of each woman. Sirena is smiling at the camera and Diadema is staring emotionless into the distance. Seaweed, coral, ferns, and anemone (sorry I cannot spell to save my life that word) are pictured.

The left woman is Sirena. She has a wave skirt that falls to the floor and a shell top. Her hair is water itself and she is smiling.

The second woman is Diadema. She has a form fitting dress and a bone capelet corset thing. Her earrings are spiked shells and her ears are spiked as well. She wears a crown on her head.

Descriptions of both women are below.
Sirena, with sunset-colored water hair and white seafoam fringe. Her top and necklace are fastened with white seafoam as well. She is very Ariel-inspired.

Diadema, a new character & the queen of this oc species. She wears a long, form-fitting black dress with cleavage and hip cutouts, a white crown, and white bone-like shawl, earrings, and corset-inspired boning. She is vision impaired and disabled.

An illustration of Marina, a woman with brown skin, and teal ocean arms and legs. She wears a dark turquoise wraparound two piece with oceanic inspired accessories, such as ropes, shells, sand dollars, and fishing hooks.

The environment is underwater, and she is posing on a rock. There are shells, starfish, seaweed, fish, crabs, ferns, plants, coral, all sorts of undersea life dotted about the picture. The tone is a dark blue-ish gray that washes over the picture.

Kinda hard to focus on art when the site is turning actively hostile the minorities that make up the majority of the artistic community that I engage with. What happens when they are driven off the site? Where do we go where they aren’t welcome? Where can I share my art if I can’t post a fish boob?
