I hate the odeal of being oberved when I look so much like my grandmother in photos, but this is me and my mother, in a situation where we can't really afford to stay, but we can't afford on our own to move, either.

A cartoon of Sephy, a white trans-masc. In the image they are saying: "With respect; I hear you, and despite these clashes would like to negotiate a reasonable and accommodating compromise we can all be happy and comfortable with-". At the same time, they are holding back an enormous, monstrous, disembodied angry red face with fangs, which is screaming "YOU BIGOT C*NT".

I spent a couple of hours this morning in an excruciating conversation with a transphobe I am on a group project with, trying to educate in a gentle manner and be A Good Tran, because she's bigoted and naive and I feel the burden of community representation.

Anyway Alex drew a comic about it.

To my Canadian friends, an acquaintance started a petition to allow US transgender citizens to claim refugee status here.

Graphic announcing the start of Daylight Saving Time at 2 a.m. Sunday, March 8. Two clocks with an arrow illustrate “spring forward.” The graphic encourages preparedness while changing clocks: do a fire drill at home, replace the batteries in a NOAA Weather Radio, and replace the batteries in smoke detectors. NOAA logo appears in the corner.

Daylight Saving Time begins at 2am tonight for those of you that applies to, so turn clocks ahead one hour before bed if they don't do it on their own, in addition to doing a few other things you can do to keep your family safe this season.

Ah shit! We let pedophiles decide our beauty standards. Post the release of the harrowing Epstein files, and the powerful men in media and fashion, considered possible accomplices, it feels fair to say this with more gusto!

One of the most powerful things I've read in years, and a real dropping of the scales moment for something vile that has been insidiously poisoning everything for decades

I rode it once! It was definitely less safe than a ride at a traveling fair! It’s a little tunnel with multicolored led lights. There’s no emergency exits! Truly believe that if there’s a fire, anyone trapped inside would die!

I 100% get and think it’s reasonable to feel defeated and beaten down, but I am choosing (especially as someone with a large platform) to take the position that none of this is inevitable. I also have made so many great friendships through my work and see that as a power in itself

reminder when you're doing your taxes, the number patreon is putting on your 1099 is the gross and they DO NOT exclude all the money they took from you in fees. you need to deduct that yourself as business expenses. an easy ("easy") way to do that is to download your earnings by month

How to Dismantle a Concentration Camp Trump’s drive to build a network of detention centers is being met with some robust public resistance.

You should hammer all these reps who voted yes on the KIDS Act.

The obvious wisdom and effectiveness of Housing First is obscured by the fact we've made "a tiny, no-frills apartment" an expensive status symbol in huge swathes of the country by creating an artificial housing shortage

Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.

Chicago-based construction firm Clayco launches solar energy business The construction firm will add nearly 1,000 employees nationwide by 2027 to its new unit, called Clayco Power and Energy.

Donald Trump may have gutted federal support for solar energy, but it's getting time to shine in Illinois.

With our Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act, we're incentivizing renewable energy with results like the launch of Clayco Power and Energy.

A reminder to all voice actors: there is only one thing that will 100% protect your voice from being fed into AI against your will: working union.

An AI rider on a non-union project protects you legally, but only if you have the money to lawyer up to fight it (so multiples of what they pay you)
