Now would be a really good time for cis allies to start wearing trans pride badges and make it even more impossible for the toilet police to determine who is and isn’t trans

I found some fantastic books while out thrifting earlier today. Two about y2k fashion from the actual y2k era, plus one about a Swedish 19th century travel artist

I and the rest of the Re: Dracula team are adapting Frankenstein next year, and we want to cast entirely Trans VAs! All roles are paid $35/hour of recording time. We're using this call to form a roster to cast specific characters from.

Upon this response, JK burst into a million shards and a great wind scattered her unhappy soul beneath the arc of a newly formed rainbow.

A pile of colorful superwash yarns in plastic bags

I stumbled across. Charity shop selling mark&kattens safir for like €0.5 per skein, nwt, a week or two ago. Couldn't resist grabbing everything I could find.

A stash of colorful yarns in a sofa, seen from above. Some of the yarns are in ziploc bags, others are not. Next to the sofa is a fabric storage box full of more bagged yarns.

Trying to organise some of the yarn stash today. Yarn gauge classification is such a fake science though, like how on earth is Drops Karisma a DK and Svarta Fåret Soft Llama a worsted?? If anything, soft llama knits up -finer- fabric.

A hand knit mitten on top of a gray blanket. The mitten is black, gray, and burgundy. It has a lattice pattern on the palm side and a flower on the thumb.

Almost finished with these mittens, only got the thumb left on the other one. Made with various yarns from my stash, mostly fingering held double.

manlethotline To anyone wondering if it's worth it to tear down fascist posters or whatever. I spent a few months last year engaged in silent battle with another student at my school who was putting anti trans stickers up everywhere. I had it down to a system where every night I would walk the five block radius they went up in, and tear down all the ones I could reach, and use a stick to put duct tape over the others. Like, within hours of the stickers going up, I would have already purged the whole zone. I knew the basic schedule of whoever put them up based on when and where the stickers appeared. I probably could have found them in person if I'd wanted to. And I told all my classmates and friends what the stickers looked like and got them to rip them down too. And after a few months of this, the stickers slowed, and then stopped forever. My point is, a lot of this fashy or right wing stuff is one local weirdo. And if you pay attention, and do a little light organizing with your friends, you can basically make their efforts into a giant sisyphisean exercise in misery. You control your streets! THE alleecatblues SHITPOSTING ROBOT Remember: It costs money to keep printing those stickers, but ripping them down is free.

Can confirm. I had an ongoing turf war with some Info wars asshole who kept plastering shit around here. Everytime I saw one I'd take it down, they tried getting creative & putting it 9+ feet up but I'd find a way

Thanks to a handy knife & some patience removed every single one. Give em no quarter

Cottagecore mittens pattern by Mika Hallor These mittens are currently offered as a freebie up until midnight (central European time) on February 11th with the code BTRLATE. This is because they have not been tested by other knitters than me, ...

My second knitting pattern is available for free for another 23 hours and 30 minutes. It's a pair of mittens, and it has horses!

Major breaking trans news: The ACLU has launched a lawsuit on behalf of 7 transgender people affected by Trump’s passport ban.

Incredible filing. The Trump admin is now swarmed with lawsuits over discriminatory and illegal executive orders.

The pattern for the Cottagecore mittens is available for free for another four days. I updated the files yesterday to include a chart for the mirrored position of the thumb for the left mitt for those who struggled with that. It's really fun to see the started- and FO starting to come in ❤️

Skolan hade alltså komvux och SFI-undervisning.

Ändå ställs ingen fråga från media om hur nyanlända och personer med utländsk bakgrund ska våga gå till sin SFI-undervisning, sina jobb, skola eller annan sysselsättning imorgon.

The book "Cool S" by Die Booth sits on a table. The book is plain without writing on the cover, showing only a photo of a wall with graffiti, primarily a black stylized S. Under the book are several magazines, a guidebook, a zine, a film canister, a cassette tape, and a ribbon.

Sooooo Yellowjackets is coming back next week, and in honor of 90s nostalgia and eldritch horror, I have to rec the book "Cool S" by @diebooth.bsky.social! If given the chance to return what was once lost, what would you ask, and what losses would you accept in return? 👀 diebooth.wordpress.com

Jag tycker inte att man borde göra allt könsneutralt hela tiden. Det är till exempel bra att prata om mäns våld mot kvinnor och att beskriva abort som i första hand en fråga om kvinnors reproduktiva hälsa.

Men lagar borde vara könsneutrala. Transmän kan bli gravida och förtjänar god vård.

Det har kommit en superbra utredning som föreslår lättare hemabort och stärker tillgången till abort. Den föreslår också ett könsneutralt språk i lagen.

Abortmotståndare kommer att använda moralpaniken mot transpersoner för att försöka sänka hela förslaget.

Kallduschen: Utsläppen chockökar - igen - Klimatgranskaren

Ännu ett kvartal och ännu en gång chockökar de svenska utsläppen, enligt nya SCB-siffror. Skälet till den stora ökningen är den politik som regeringen drivit igenom.

Bookshop.org launches new e-book platform that exclusively supports local bookstores Indie bookstores miss out on millions of e-book sales to big companies like Amazon. Bookshop.org's new platform could help them turn a new page.

Holocaust Memorial Day Trust | 6 May 1933: Looting of the Institute of Sexology On 6 May 1933, the Institute of Sexology, an academic foundation devoted to sexological research and the advocacy of homosexual rights, was broken into and occupied by Nazi-supporting youth. Several d...

For those unaware, in 1933, the first major Nazi book burning was of the first 30 years of research into trans and queer people, far before the concentration camps.

Now, Trump has digitally burned the government's research on the same.

Will help others set up similar things for their own needs if asked 👌

I'm quite pleased with how I figured out how to make a feed that keeps track of people tagging my knitting patterns (all two of them) or links to them on Ravelry.

If you're into horror, you should get Die's books. And I'm not just saying that because I made the cover for one of them 👀

A dove page spread of illustrations of "the female body", showing organs, muscles, circulatory system etc. The illustrations are from the mid 1950s

I am saving any interesting illustrations from the books that i am gutting. They feel like they would be great for collage art. Not that I'm into that myself, but still feels wasteful to throw this away.

The spines of several leather bound books, on the floor, next to a pair of scissors.

It feels like I'm committing a crime
