Reeeaaaallly hope the anti-kink kids, especially the queer ones, finally understand what camp they are in (it's fascism), and how it's bad for everyone but the actual abusers.

defending art's right to exist, especially nsfw art, inherenetly involves you having to allow art you don't like or even think is abhorrent or reprehensible to exist. you do not have to pretend to like it or engage with it, but you need to let it exist. you give fascists an inch they take a mile.

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.
Lou Sullivan was a visionary gay trans activist, writer, speaker, and organizer who advocated for the recognition of gay trans people.

Hello! I am a trans journalist looking to speak with trans kids and parents of trans kids across the US who have been impacted by the clinic closures---please get in touch or share!
I deleted the thread on emotional crash outs because I can say it more succinctly like this:
Check on your emotionally reserved friends. A lot of us don't express distress openly and many people mistake that for invulnerability or hypercompetence. I find that especially true among trans people.
ah yes, the two genders

if you're not freaky you will die. you will die on the inside. your friends can be there all you want but their words and hugs will never truly reach you if you're hiding yourself inside of yourself all the time. if you have any respect for yourself, you have to stop treating yourself like that.
you should even get weirder about that one thing. yes. i'm not kidding. the world is going to shit. most of you are experiencing an active fascist takeover. the status quo won't save you. boxing yourself in for clout and clicks won't save you. brutal honesty will save you. your friends will save you
