We’re now over £500 raised. 🤩✊🥹

I’ll be posting out orders tomorrow and also calculating the accurate total so far and making a donation to the Sameer Project (as money is needed on the ground as soon as possible).

Buy before noon on Monday to make that postage run!

It’s the last day of Queeriosities at Copeland Park in Peckham and I’m raising money for The Sameer Project who are working on the ground in Gaza.

It would mean the world if you’d buy the print. Sales could mean up to £1,400 going to provide vital aid to Palestinians during this genocide.

Postage (for orders on our website) to the USA is suspended while processes for new tariffs are set up by Royal Mail.

Hopefully a resolution will be sorted, but it's likely to be pricier to send to the USA so we'll have to add those costs onto US customers as an additional Republican/Trump Tariff.

Gay men in the UK only have an equal age of consent because the gov was forced to by the European Court of Human Rights (implementing the European Convention on Human Rights).

They say they want to remove protections from people they deem as “other” but they want to remove human rights from us all.

21 August 1943 | The camp authorities carried out a selection at the women's camp in Birkenau. The SS selected 498 Jewish women, who they considered as unable to work. Before being deported to a gas chamber, they were placed in barrack 25 called the "waiting room to gas."

🧵 Polari latest | Controversial Irish author, & anti-trans activist, claims there is ‘no such thing as LGBTQ+ & that there are just individuals.

This is historically & factually incorrect. It leans into the false conspiracy that you can separate trans ppl from the rest of the Queer community [1]

For the record, I’d never knowingly publish a book by an author with transphobic views.

Polari—the queer language made necessary due to discrimination and criminalisation against us—holds an important place in our shared history, and it means a great deal to me personally.
