Wake up, Dick! I want you to see droves of New Yorkers voting in a Muslim socialist as mayor!

Dick?

Congrats!!

26.07.2025. The Internationalist Queer Pride Berlin. Massive and diverse attendance at the alternative Pride Day demonstration in the capital of Germany. 1/3

Several people in suits reach towards a man with glasses sitting at a table, holding a microphone. The latter speaks into the microphone, while the former attempt to stop him.

Porn and art with sexual themes deserve to exist on their own merit, not because censoring them has knock-on effects for non-sexual content. Please stop expressing outrage by implying that censorship would be okay if it *just* affected sex workers and artists engaging with sexual themes.

Back together!
I'm also trying some new strings: a set of Pyramids. I had been using lighter gauge strings at the insistence of the guitar internet, but I wanted to go back to my preferred hybrid gauge setup. Thomann didn't have the Slinkies I wanted, but the .052 - .010 set is just what I wanted.

Thanks!

It will probably have to be a picture book 😂

I'm surprised the cops didn't storm this truck, seeing as it has the exact same symbol on it as my hat did. I wonder why so many queers "suddenly" use pink triangles 🙄

Somewhere between not understanding history, not carrying about history and just following orders, as always.

Germany: "You can't wear this symbol reminding people of the genocide we committed in the past, because it reminds people of the genocide we're supporting right now."

Yeah, not gonna happen. While medical masks are technically meant to be exempt from it, the "Vermummungsverbot" is one of their favorite reasons to go after us at protests. I test myself before leaving for these events but I'm not going to give them another reason to pull me out for the crowd.

Haha, hey! Nice to see you again!

I guess there are several layers to it. Just aesthetically, all the colors are a bit much for me, especially on clothing I'd want to wear in everyday life.

The Rosa Winkel hasn't been coopted by corporations & liberals the way the rainbow has.

It's less "yay, love" & more "fuck you for hurting us"

Me too 😅

Oh well, at least they can't deport me from here 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mich haben sie heute dafür gleich mitgenommen, die cap mit Rosa Winkel drauf konfisziert und mir einen Platzverweis erteilt.

Der Rosa Winkel als Hamas-Symbol.
Happy Pride, @polizeiberlin.bsky.social.

Oh, the underside is green. The triangle is very much pink, even if it's a somewhat dark pink.

Which is why I had approached them proactively to avoid this exact BS...

A reminder that when the Nazi regime was ended the western powers didn't free queer people imprisoned for eradication by the Nazis.

They kept them behind bars and left the anti-queer laws in place in the new Western German state.

Those laws lasted nearly 25 more years.

Thanks!

Thank you ❤️

I'm ok, I'm white & German enough to be somewhat protected 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh yeah, I used "marked homosexuals" in their understanding, this very much included us trannies and other deviants 🙃

I am, thanks! Really annoyed and a little amped up bit otherwise fine.

Keenly aware of how much worse this could have been if I didn't look/sound the way I do 🤷🏻‍♀️

They got white people spicy, I guess. They were polite enough, nobody hurt me and one of them even agreed with me that it looks pretty pink, now that she looked at it again 🙃

At least the cops didn't punch me this time 🙃

I've always thoroughly enjoyed SNW as a deeply silly but fun modern take on star trek but also didn't enjoy disc and only liked small bits of Picard...

Berlin today

Thousands of people gather at the Free Palestine demonstration to show solidarity with Palestine.

Just finished reading "Enemy Feminisms" by @reproutopia.bsky.social and my very first thought as I put down the e-reader was "oh nice, now I get to start again from the beginning!"

Now reading: TERFs, Policewomen, and Girlbosses against Liberation

Right?! A little dystopian when you look at who manufactures them, but I think I'm gonna pick my battles and just enjoy the absolute ridiculous derpyness of it all 😁

Major Indie Marketplace Itch.io Shadowbans NSFW Content, Trans Authors Impacted A dangerous escalation against free speech and literary preservation from a longtime haven for transfeminine literature.

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: In a dangerous evening escalation of the anti-porn war on the gaming industry, indie platform @itch.io has banned a number of NSFW titles and delisted thousands of others.

Trans authors are caught in the crossfire.

MasterCard, Visa, and anti-porn group Collective Shout drove the ban.

Image of the same mountain from what looks like almost the exact same spot as the image in the post this is a reply to. No people this time, darker greens and the trees in the foreground are taller.

19 years later, the trees had grown a bit but the snow fields looked almost the same 🥰 (07.25.24)

I hiked through so many areas that had burned since 2005 (like everything around Ollalie), I can't imagine how different the trail must have been back then.
