A digital drawing of me, Siwen Shan (ๅฑฑๆฏๆ) in a "chibi" art style. This chibi style of me has light tan skin, large olive-green eyes, and dark hair tied in a topknot with long green ribbons. They wear a traditional olive-green wrap robe decorated with dark golden colored fan-shaped ginkgo leaf embroidery. The background resembles aged paper with faded silhouettes of ginkgo trees. Vertical Chinese characters are written in a warm olive color on the right side, from the top right, the "title" of the illustration, which reads ใ้ถๆๆๅฃซโขๅฑฑๆฏๆใ, translates to "The Scholar of the Ginkgo, Siwen Shan". On the bottom right is my name seal in the same warm olive color as the title of the illustration.
Three fan-shaped ginkgo leaves in shades of olive and moss green are centered on a square, cream-colored canvas with a subtle paper texture. To the right, five vertical Chinese characters are written in a warm olive-colored ink, reading ใ้้ๆ็ซๅฎคใ, which translates to Verdant Ginkgo Studio. In the bottom right corner, a small square seal contains the characters for "Siwen Shan" (ๅฑฑๆฏๆ), the same warm olive color as the title of the art.
A cluster of three fan-shaped, olive-green ginkgo leaves sits in the foreground. The background features a textured, aged-paper look with the soft silhouette of a large ginkgo tree and falling leaves. In the upper right, large calligraphy characters are rendered in a moss-green ink. A small moss green square seal containing the characters for "Siwen Shan" (ๅฑฑๆฏๆ) is located in the bottom right corner.

It's disheartening how little community care and safety is discussed in the Trans community on social media. There are always calls to be loud and defiant, not even loud and proud, but never discussion of safety until the unthinkable happens to someone, yet again.

I read something on social media recently where essentially the post said that there's always that call for community and organization, but when it comes to the actual logistics of it, everyone shrugs it off. Being loud, defiant & proud w/o considering safety in all facets makes it all for naught.

Abolish ICE.
Thereโs no reforming it.
Thereโs no compromise.
Thereโs only one way to rein in ICEโs terror campaign. Abolish it.

An unfortunate truth. I just held hope that because it's Palestinian-owned and partnered, it would be better. Time will tell if these things get better for these platforms, but I understand anyone who remains off these platforms.

Heads up for anyone planning to move to Upscrolled, there are reports of Trans women in particular being banned there en masse. I won't be over there at all.

Hi everyone! Currently going through some changes... More will be teased/ released as time goes on.
Because of such, and with ๅฐ็บขไนฆ, RedNote's, "1 username change for life" rule, I'll create a new RedNote account once the change is official.
Stay tuned!

Meta has been cracking down especially hard on anti-ICE sentiment. They've always placed a shadowban on anti-Genocide and pro-Palestinian content, but with everything that ICE has done, major platforms like Meta and even Tiktok have cracked down extra hard. I'm sorry they banned you :/

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

This is not law enforcement. This is murder.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.

The campaign against โantifaโ is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as โterrorists.โ
