but!

if you’ve been a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, you can enroll into the address confidentiality program (free of cost!) and be registered to vote as an absentee voter and your name and address will not be made available for the public

it is super easy to get enrolled - the application takes like 5 minutes, but it has to be with someone who is certified to do it (most likely an advocate! try going to a family justice center in your area or calling the Attorney Generals office in your area!!!!)

Palestine TV correspondent Salman Al-Bashir throws his press vest and helmet to the ground live on air moments after his colleague Mohammad Abu Hatab was martyred in an IOF airstrike on his home in Khan Younis.

"These are simply symbolic items we wear. They don't protect any journalist. None of this does. We are simply victims live on air, sacrificing our souls one after the other. We go as martyrs only. It is only a matter of time.

Our colleague Mohammed Abu Hattab was here just half an hour ago before he was martyred with many of his family members."

"A favorite section was the arrival of the 'mail man,' which always triggered intense barking and ferocious 'attacks' from the pups."

@commodore-64 This is a display at the Leather Archives and Museum in Chicago! This was not my first time there, but between this visit and the last they've really expanded their display on pups. It's a very wholesome and interactive place--that particular room had chalk and encouraged visitors to draw on the walls, hence the cute little nude figure in the picture.

They even had some gear to try on in that room!

They also have a library with tables full of sketchbooks and coloring pages.

Even the bathrooms were a joy. Here we have a poll which granted a landslide victory to bush--the pussy not the president.

At the gift shop they were selling vintage comics, porn and erotica. I think that selection was temporary, but I was able to pick up a book of comics that includes Tumblr's darling, Gerard Donelan! Also this little plush piggy.

And someone at the front desk was able to tell me all about a leather bar in my hometown that closed before my time. The museum and archives have a star-studded board, including Billy Lane, the first openly trans International Mr Leather contestant, and Gayle Rubin, an acclaimed pro-sex feminist scholar and activist. Both have displays about them. This place has workshops, film screenings, classes... I could just go on and on. If you're ever in Chicago, visit this place, the 64Ten shop and Jackhammer in the same neighborhood.

Really? Trans women face dealing with how taking testosterone changes their uterus and menstrual cycle? Cis women face being told they can't get a pap smear because their driver's license says M?

No. They don't. Those are uniquely transmasc experiences. And that's just two that I came up with off the top of my head!!

TRANS MASC PEOPLE FACE UNIQUE MEDICAL CHALLENGES NOT SHARED BY TRANS WOMEN OR CIS WOMEN.

Testosterone is a controlled substance, estrogen isn't. The challenges faced by transmascs going on T is unique to transmascs, period.

My own endocrinologist "warned" me "Testosterone is going to take everything you think is pretty about yourself and make it ugly".

MY LITERAL TRANS-POSITIVE DOCTOR WHO WAS PRESCRIBING ME THE TESTOSTERONE. TOLD ME IT WOULD MAKE ME UGLY.
