A small diagram showing how to turn a swastika drawn in pixels into a small pixel among us crewmate, to be used to cover over griefing on wplace

in honor of wplace returning to us, here's a little tip in case you find some loser trying to be edgy or griefing places with a certain symbol, takes less pixels than just erasing it :)

Just stop

The “Gender Binary Model” is, Without Exaggeration, White Supremacist Propaganda A primer on the history of the acceptance of the “gender binary model”, from a transgender scientist and scientific/gender/queer historian.

Under the current systems of capitalist categorization, all children must be sorted, too.

Not for their own good, but for the system to better keep them in order. They are sorted "boy" or "girl", "pink" or "blue".

A simple binary.

I have discussed before at length how this is white supremacism.

Not great!

Admitting openly that "no, we also flagged you NSFW because you used tags we think are often used to mean porn, even if you're not" just recalculated the entire risk assessment in my head: what else is 'commonly associated with adult content' according to itch's system?

Art of a crow with a wine glass and a cake with the caption "The contents of this week require the Big Treat" 😭

Relatable.

Cis people:

Take your phones into the restroom. Aggressively confront the person demanding to see the private parts of strangers. State your location if you're comfortable so the genitalia inspectors fear retribution from local communities.

I wish I was kidding.

Made some progress turning my sketches into a model. Will look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow.

twice today, when pressured, Stripe operators have said, plainly, that i cannot use stripe for the purchase of LGBTQ content. not just adult content, but explicitly LGBTQ.

Yvette Cooper: Some 'don't know the full nature' of Palestine Action Defending the group's proscription under terror law, she said the organisation was "not a non-violent organisation".

It is inherently absurd to proscribe a group as terrorists based on acts the public doesn't know about. Terrorism *by definition* involves violence intended to intimidate a civilian population. How can the target population be terrorised by acts they know nothing about?

The cow tools comic but the tools are tiny and the cow is a mouse, the caption says “mouse tools”

thank you @valkyri-anna.bsky.social for the idea hehe

I hate to ask, but I'm a bit skint this week until my pay comes in - Every bit helps!

I said worse ‘assault’ ie a removal of rights. We have now been returned to the legal situation of the 90s, under a Labour government who are gleefully reversing over 20 years of progress.

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch

“Once you get troops on the streets, it’s only a matter of time before it goes bad. Some kid throws a stone, next minute there’s houses on fire and people getting killed.”

this is what I mean by “you’re either with us or against us” (us being trans people, or any other marginalized community)

this is a small excerpt from my book BEGIN TRANSMISSION: THE TRANS ALLEGORIES OF THE MATRIX

about the scene with Neo and Trinity wiping out security guards to save Morpheus

Wes Streeting is an ignorant religiously motivated bully and a child abuser interfering in private medical decisions with a whole life impact.

He's also made it so social services instead of protecting children against him will instead rat them out if they don't co-operate with an unethical study.

[noir jazz in the background] the name's yuri. dick yuri. i've been solving cases for 23 years and i've been a girl for 22 of 'em. one thing you learn real quick in the city of dykes is that everybody's packing something, and on most of my jobs, it's lead.

Marching to the bathroom like I should be singing "I've seen things, I've seen them with my eyes.."

Labour keeps telling us these people's concerns are legitimate.

The NHS are forcibly detransitioning trans kids in Brighton and calling it “managed withdrawal.” Their own impact assessment acknowledges trans kids will be at increased risk of harm as a result, don’t want this, and are likely to just use DIY hormones instead

Baltimore Mayor Scott response on Trump: I think it's very notable that each and every one of the cities called out by the President has a black mayor, and most of those cities are seeing historic lows in violent crime…

Looking through dead group chats, silent dms, old interactions. So much has changed in just a few years. Some I miss, some I don't. Mostly, I feel like I've struggled to create depth and intimacy in the ways I used to with new friends. And that weighs heavier with the ones I've lost along the way.

do you know how fucking dumb it is that you can buy my books from *Barnes and Noble* but not from itchio? It’s completely ridiculous.

not a single person has bought my books from Barnes and Noble mind you, but the option exists. Because these anti-porn groups only ever choose accessible targets

The UK is about to ban access to Wikipedia, just remember this bill was originally pitched as a means to protect kids from accessing porn.

*Plays Titanium by SayMaxwell on loop*

we need to teach the 1930s properly so that people know the Reichstag Fire was exactly this stupid

The image is a political compass divided into four quadrants: Authoritarian-Left, Authoritarian-Right, Libertarian-Left, and Libertarian-Right. The background colors correspond to these quadrants, with red for Authoritarian-Left, blue for Authoritarian-Right, green for Libertarian-Left, and purple for Libertarian-Right. At the top of the image is the question, "Why are trans people always so leftist?" The compass is overlaid with three curved lines, each representing a different situation for trans people: 1. Red line in the Authoritarian-Right quadrant labeled "Murdered." 2. Yellow line in the Authoritarian-Left and Libertarian-Right quadrants labeled "Illegal" and "On their own" respectively. 3. Green line in the Libertarian-Left quadrant labeled "Given rights & healthcare."

"Can you prove that?" - someone
"Look we all just know it's true." - repub

That's the thing about Republicans people don't catch. They believe you KNOW you are wrong, and since you are so evil, you're taking a wrong stance on purpose to cause harm.

They said this to me several times at my old job

Cool cool cool. I’ve lost my adjunct teaching job for pushing back on AI being adapted into the program.

The person replacing me doesn’t even have a working website.

My students love me & they’re PISSED.

Real cool of them to do this to a single mom with no notice. I had to figure it out myself!
