many LGBTQ stickers laid next to each other, most of them black and white. they read things like "aren't you glad to be a pansy?" and "i am gay and must create". there are zines among the stickers as well, one printed on blue paper. the zines are about poetry and hormone replacement therapy.

A very therapeutic afternoon spent cleaning up this old poster from the 1980s - original was A2 and very creased. Cleaned up nicely.

black and red poster, diagonally split - showing police armed with clubs and machine guns on one side and demonstrators on the other in red. Has the words: "Sticks and stones will only break bones but rubber bullets will kill you" and "Organise against an organised state"

they’re intenionally advertising to and recruiting far right loyalists. they post and reply to explicit groyper memes. they’re not super subtle about what this government is

seen this going around lately so i wanted to post it here

a black and white typography edit that reads "the homosexual and the transsexual must always seek to liberate the other for they fight the same fight!" to the right of the text is a dandelion with the roots exposed. the entire image is edited to look photocopied.

from under the Bear tooth head fungus (I wish that mushroom had a catchier name)

A large white fungus loosely resembling a droopy willow tree, with a trunk and thick white fleshy fronds flowing downwards. One of the branches has a swing attached upon which an isopod sits. The scene is garnished with various lichens and mosses.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement

An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.
