An update from us here at PBS 💙

"People aren't posting as much" Yeah, well, the world is a nightmare right now & a lot of people don't feel qualified to post about specific topics -and/or- feel awkward posting happy things when everyone else is struggling -and/or- are in a creative rut due to how everything is terrible and bad

Too many people keep saying, “They're just trying to get a reaction out of us.” A fascist government is not your petty ex. They don't need a reaction out of you.

The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

I have too many games I want to play and not enough functional body to work with

Social Security Disability currently pays on average $1,700 a month. That is about 20,400 a year.

Also, bizarrely, that money may be taxed like income

Can we stop treating people on SSDI like they won some big prize and conned the system.

Fully able people struggle to survive on that income.

Got my first wheelchair 🥰 I’m in love! I can feel the freedom already

It’s really disheartening to see trans users having to step back from Bluesky because of the influx of transphobic harassment. Trans posters built the culture of this platform and it would behoove cis allies to advocate for their safety as Bluesky expands and they get targeted

As always JK Rowling is a TERF and if you're consuming/buying her content, you cannot say you are an ally to the trans community. Because being an ally to the trans community is supporting and advocating for us, she is the exact opposite
