Many alleged suicides of Black trans women are in fact modern-day lynchings, report finds Jill Collen Jefferson, the founder of JULIAN, explains what happens when a transgender woman’s death is ruled a suicide and a community calls it something else.

This is terrifying

UPDATE: Went INCREDIBLY well, basically replacing out a role thats been filled for 11 years, as she’s retiring. Dream role. I desperately want this now but I’m trying to temper expectations. I’ll hear back by Friday.

I don’t wanna tease too much where I’ll work for safety reasons but…good grief- 😉

Cosplay human Alastor without black facing challenge level impossible I GUESS–

I am so fucking tired guys. Stop doing this shit. I don’t care if you’re an international cosplayer. We’ve been talking about this for YEARS at this point. Racism has no place in this community. Knock it off. 🚬🫩

This is INCREDIBLY dissapointing. You have the privilage of taking that makeup off while black and brown cosplayers and people are harassed daily for it. Its incredibly disrespectful. Do not paint your skin brown for a cosplay.

I am so sick of seeing what is essentially blackface in the cosplay community. It’s 2026 and people should know better, I’m not giving anyone room for “oh they didn’t know it was offensive.” Come the fuck on.

I'm also opening myself up for freelancing contracts again on a VERY SHORT TERM BASIS.

Texas Democrats fell into the trap of voting for the candidate they thought could win (based on the candidate's own consultant-driven propaganda) instead of the candidate with the proven progressive record.

So now we're about to get a "look forward, not back" guy who appeals to Republicans.

If I found out that Trump, Mitch McConnell, Pete Hegseth, Kristi Noem, and Clarence Thomas all died in their sleep, I would dance with glee.

If I learned they were killed by Putin, Netanyahu, and Crown Prince MbS, I'd be worried.

It is possible to despise tyrants but also fear their killers.

Its 2026 and people are still acting like a child seeing two guys holding hands is going to leave them scarred for life

Having to fear for your life at school? Normal
But two men holding hands or even kissing? Irreparable mental damage

I'm so tired

Essential reading. And as bloody usual, Australia prototyped this nonsense. Just like we were one of the first to indefinitely detain asylum seekers.

Bad Internet Bills All of the bad internet bills. One website.

THREAD: Whenever imperialist governments go to war, they become more authoritarian at home.

That makes censorship bills like KOSA, ID checks, and attacks on Section 230 even more dangerous.

Online protest, documenting war crimes, even news articles could be suppressed.

Oligarchs Are Building The World's Biggest Propaganda Machine. Their Success Isn't Guaranteed. America's wealthiest, shittiest people are trying to hoover up the entirety of new and old media companies in a bid to pummel the plebs with propaganda. But what they want, and what they actually get,...

Over at the newsletter I wrote about the Paramount/Warner deal, how it's best viewed as a well-funded attack on informed consensus, and how we still have collective agency to determine whether or not it actually succeeds.

Yes. This is my exact point. Trans journalists, trans editors, we exist. We're just mostly being sidelined by our industry because our expertise, our lived experience, is counted against us (as "bias") by these cis-led organizations. This is actually bullshit.

Lyft steps in to offer rides after Kansas voids transgender residents’ driver’s licenses The rideshare company is helping trans Kansans get around after the Republican-controlled legislature immediately took their ability to drive away.

After Kansas law invalidates correct-sex drivers' licenses for trans residents, in one of the first corporate responses, Lyft invites them to use code TRANSJOY to get 50% off rides this week.

The world wants to ban children from social media, but there will be grave consequences for us all | Taylor Lorenz Age-verification systems require collecting sensitive data to support the biometric information. In no time, the internet will become a fully surveilled digital panopticon, says technology journalist ...

"Once built, this surveillance infrastructure will be abused, just as every prior expansion of government surveillance and censorship power has been. We must do everything in our power to stop these laws where we can and preserve a free and open internet."

My neck and head are seriously fucked up by this but this is really funny. So glad we weren’t hurt further.

Life is so funny because what do you mean the car accident I was in was featured and “sponsored” by Spindlehorse-

Thank you, Troops, for pushing the button that eliminated those terrible Iranian schoolgirls. The USA is safer already.

Need another reason to oppose AI data centers in your hometown?

If the company running them has DoD contracts, they are legitimate targets of war.

So is the local power and water infrastructure feeding them. So are the employees (defense contractors) working there and living in your neighborhood.

Funniest part of the horrific car accident yesterday we were in was pulling out GOBS of Stylist Occult merchandise from a completely crumpled trunk and it was completely okay. Hoping they jump on this marketing opportunity like the Stanley Cup folks did with that burned down car LOL–

When the people who paid for the photo op start openly talking about their dirty Alastor ship headcanons next to you and it’s only 10:29 am at the con on a Friday.

I think a lot of folks forget this project comes from humble beginnings of being YOUR personal OCs. I think about this a lot, and what all these characters must mean for you. The fact you share them with the world is so raw and vulnerable, and I wanna thank YOU for letting us into their space.

Florida just cut off HIV meds for 16,000 people.

Pretty shaken up!! I might have whiplash in my neck. Not my first accident but definately my most severe. I feel worse for my buddy and their car 😭

Thank you again, nilla 🥺🥺🥺

Was backseat of a friends car fully stopped, a huge truck hit us going 70-75 mph. Idk how we’re not more fucked up or dead.

I’m still in shock but man dude me too. My husband is extremely spooked but okay as well.

Guy doesn’t even have valid insurance who hit us and brushed off the entire thing 🫠

Whiplash from going from Gorillaz to near death experience say whaaaaaat.

LA Traffic is insane. Glad I didn’t die. Dear lord…
