so many responses of “its nice that you’re privileged enough to be able to steal from Target willy nilly!” and that’s not at all what this is about. like, yeah, shoplifting and loitering and graffiti and breaking the rules is, obviously, part of “do crime”. but they’re not parts you have to do.

would you help someone get an abortion where it was illegal?

would you help a trans friend get healthcare that had been criminalized?

would you shelter someone fleeing persecution, even if the law said not to?

would you help a gay couple stay together when the state decided their relationship was unlawful?

instead, would you report someone else for breaking the law? will you snitch on your hungry neighbors for stealing food? on your homeless neighbors for sleeping where they’re able?

Their blog has been deactivated; this has been sitting in my drafts for years. GIS is not helping; I’m only getting secondary sources (pinterest and the like) which all just lead to the same deactivated account.

Japan has approved a plan to roll out LGBTQ+ education resources in schools, workplaces, universities and homes across the nation for the first time. The finer details of the plan are not yet public, but reports have suggested that schools will be given the tools to provide information to students about LGBTQ+ people, at the same time giving stronger access to social workers and counsellors for students to use at their discretion. Universities are also expected to revise their curricula to adopt teachings that offer healthcare students access to LGBTQ+ education.

One Highlight

There’s a challenge over on Bluesky called OneHighlight, and I thought it was a cool idea. You make a silhouette of the character and then do one cut of light to reveal some portion of the figure. Since it’s a light-themed challenge, I felt my golden boy Scott was perfect for it, so here he is! How do you like?

self-described queerdykefag: „Why are you defending rape/pedophilia/whatever? We need to bring lynchings back. Hopefully we‘ll eradicate all those transwom- I mean rapists/pedos/whatever soon“

Did I mean "rape and pedophilia are good" or did I mean "people will paint vulnerable minorities as things you dislike to get you to help in exterminating them"?

Did I mean "rapists and pedophiles shouldn't be held responsible for the harm they cause" or did I mean "we shouldn't immediately believe every accusation of rape or pedophila that is levied against vulnerable minorities"?

Did I mean "I hate transmascs" or did I mean "no one is immune to regressive rhetoric" and "transmascs constantly joining in on unsubstantiated harassment campaigns against transfem people is actively hurting the entire queer community"?
