Mother of the Gwendal

I mean, if it makes you feel better, no one is owed that.

Doomforest.

Miss Rachel getting teary eyed and upset talking about Gaza on @democracynow.org was one way to break my cold dark heart this morning. I am feeling feelings.

Yes.

Queer Authors Withdraw From Writing Prize En Masse Over Inclusion of Self-Proclaimed TERF — Assigned A UK LGBTQ+ writing prize seems to be crumbling as the queer community protests the inclusion of an anti-trans writer on the long list. Trans prisoners in Georgia accuse the state of cruel and unusual...

Assigned Media tracked down every single queer author who withdrew from the Polari Prize after they longlisted a self-proclaimed TERF, and linked to all their books.

These authors showed solidarity and our story is blowing up with traffic from people who want to support them in return.

It's too early in the morning for one sentence to enrage me this much.

Twelve is one of the best ages for exploring. Hope you have fun!

It is just wild to me what other people's red lines are because if this is the first time you've publicly criticized one of this presidents nominees where have you been?

Every now and then I get reminded that the Pod Save bros are still in business and my left eye twitches.

Liberals and leftists during LGBTQ pride month: TRANS PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE, LOVE IS LOVE! TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

Liberals and leftists during disability pride month: fuck you, im not wearing a mask, eat shit, youre rude and dangerous! The pandemic doesn't exist!, why am i sick all the time?

So I guess covering up BLM square didn't win anything for DC, huh? Wild how that happens.

Chicago is number two. We try harder.

@mayorofchicago.bsky.social has continued the tradition of Rahm and Lightfoot and all the previous mayors by over-policing our communities.

A small group of us is planning a craft fair fundraiser for Gaza on September 7. Some of you have already generously reached out to offer a craft to us to sell at the fundraiser.

And people wonder why we love "eat the rich" memes.

I mean, at least he's being real about prioritizing his comfort and status over Palestinians (some live here!), immigrants, disabled people, and trans people.

Also, I did not owe Harris my vote some dude can remain comfortable while Democrats continue to harm my community.

Of all of the groups who don't use alt text media is really one of those that is like "you have writers on staff why can't you do this."

chicago is hands down the best place i’ve ever lived and people react to it like you said you lived in mordor. meanwhile there are people who willingly live in st. louis

Update: this proposal has been docketed by the Illinois Supreme Court Rules Committee as Proposal 25-05, PR000343. Please look it up and tell the Illinois Supreme Court to pass it!

I love this so much.

The Late Patty Berne Was a Visionary Leader in the Disability Justice Movement As disabled people face brutal cuts to Medicaid, we must draw on Berne’s insight to link with other fights for freedom.

Hey, political parties, I'm a decent human being who cares about other human beings. How about pandering to me for a bit?

Derrick Kardos died of complications of #LongCovid on July 18th. Let his words sink in.

Slightly less genocide is still genocide I hope this helps.

Also, if you fucking think for a moment that things would be different today for Gaza if Harris was president I have a bridge to sell you in Michigan.

Where Harris campaigned with Liz fucking Cheney.

What the fuck is even the point of releasing a statement if you forget alt text and someone like me has no fucking idea what you are saying

It is the year of the Undying King 2025 do better.

What a fucking thing to "but, actually".

I, a motherfucking disabled person do not need a lecture on the difference between Nazis and white supremacists. I need white moms to stop fucking saying they have no accountability for how their white sons are loving Andrew Tate and Charlie Kirk.

Who exactly do you think white supremacists are?

If you think you can't keep your kids from becoming white supremacists, by which I do mean Nazi thanks, then that seems like a you problem. I did it and of all the shit that comes with being a parent, it was pretty fucking not hard.

I am a white parent of white kiddos and it was absolutely my job to keep them from being Nazis and tbh it's not as hard as you think. Teaching and modeling community and accountability goes a long way.

Hey #DisabilityMutualAid there are some great trans organizers here at @netrootsnation.bsky.social who could use some help paying the very large service charge for renting a mobility device. I have donated $50. Who can match me? www.transprogram.org/donate

@netrootsnation.bsky.social doesn't start until disabled people get a chance to gather with allies and complain about the lack of accessibility involved.
