Stock of Spotify over last month showing sharp decline, from near $700 in value to $615.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

"her first fruit in two years" made me sad in an incomprehensible way. She's just a baby, all she has known in her life is the tragedy around her. How have we let it come to this point?
Please help this family provide Alma as many peaches and tomatoes as she wants 😭

we seek an interior that glows

a line drawing of two heads in profile, maybe the same person or in conversation - they are speaking in symbols

a line drawing of a bear wearing a little cami & strappy heels, while looking a bit sheepish. shy teddy ‘felt cute, might delete later’

a comic panel line drawing of two figures facing one another, both weeping as an ant soul ascends from its body. lots of rubber stamped ants surround the panel, the stamps are so close together that where the legs and antenna meet they form a border pattern

a huffing (farting?) creature wearing a pair of knickers strides along a comic panel. there’s more ants but no proof these have entered the aforementioned pants

If you love trans people, if you love sex workers, if you think we deserve to have families... please donate. The amount of money my friend needs to raise for court costs is shocking. Please donate.

Page 5. To revel in the open wound, to take them from the outside world to inside of myself, make them answerable to me and me alone. What better way is there, really, to do this than thru comics? Last panel is my reflection in the mirror as I draw on my tablet. My hair is long and I'm sat on my bed in my boxers, focused.

(2/2) Thanks for reading :)

title: nauma in "I can't draw this!" for noah's ark IV Narration: It was really hard for me to think of what to draw for this theme because I'm at a place in my career where I'll draw anything for a biscuit. Panel shows a hand holding a biscuit emerging from a curtain saying "6 nipples, 21 toes, 14 cocks, 7 heads..." I impatiently draw at a tablet saying "YA just leave the money on the table!!!" Narration: But when I really think about what I'm embarrassed to show anyone... I guess... it's like... pretty... girls... in dresses... Panel shows a girl tucking her hair behind her ear. I'm starting to blush. Narration: and they get fucked??? (usually by men...) I... Panel shows a beautiful girl with curly hair in lingerie tied in ropes while a hand burns her thighs with a cigarette. I look dismayed.

Page 2. Narration: I... isn't this so HETERONORMATIVE and BORING? I used to be so smug about my niche tastes, and now I'm nothing special!!! But it was a big deal for me to get here. Flashback to a few years ago where I'm sobbing in front of a mirror, my hair short. I think "GOD I really treat myself like SHIT! I don't treat myself like a person let alone a girl. I just treat myself like some THING! (I was so cute with short hair tho.) I had received plenty of this growing up, but now as an adult I found myself alone holding the whip. (Where did everyone go?) And I wanted out. In images of beautiful girls I saw a personhood not afforded to me. I hated them, but I wanted to be them. Like Prometheus, I wanted to poach that divine flame. Panels show grainy classical images of girls with long hair, pretty dresses, skinny limbs, etc.

Page 3. So I made new stories. I drew up these women that didn't exist outside of me. They existed because of me. Drawing is kinda based in this way. From your hand to the line and back into your brain, it becomes possible to craft a new relationship with yourself. (drawing porn especially is really good for this)

Page 4. To be clear, it would be wrong to say I uncovered some primal truth or became emancipated from the social order and history which stripped me of my personhood in the first place. Any wounds I've endured are alive and well within me. And I want to ask: why heal at all? (And heal into what?) Panel shows Botticelli's venus with a gash in her stomach. Ultimately what I did was decide to show an interest in myself. To become instrumental in my pleasure as well as my misery. Panel shows me walking home on my street.

(1/2) my autobio comic for noah's ark IV "I'm not allowed to draw this!"

My "dead people can't consent" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

been thinking a lot about how consent language got twisted into a knife against trans people. it's like the "social contagion" propaganda fully metastized into our personhoods being a transmissible (sexual) disease

Craps sake, I just clicked through, and of course it’s all about trans healthcare!
😭😭😭
They’ve got a whole bloody section on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones — the ONLY medication specifically mentioned in this survey.
Why can’t they just leave trans people alone??

this trans woman was taken into ICE custody tonight over a 3-year old weed charge. she faces torture in men’s detention centers or self-deportation and leaving behind everything she knows (if she can afford that option). please support if you’re able

We are very much in an era where silence is complicity.

Sama'a's husband was injured by Israeli soldiers while trying to reach an aid station, and the due date of her pregnancy is approaching fast. Even a small donation makes a difference.

The strange thing about Gaza is that we resemble its sea in patience we stand firm for so long against the towering waves, and then, all at once, everything collapses, as if the very crown that held us high has broken under the weight of an unbearable loss. Who will bring us

“He was asking what he had done wrong […] and if the teachers don’t like him,” said his mother Anne, 45. Jake said he was planning to avoid using the toilet at school by limiting the amount he drinks, and was even worrying about how much liquid was in his yoghurt at breakfast”

Outdoor scene. Trees in the background. A metal outdoor table, with a citronella candle housed in a rainbow woven basket. In the foreground there’s a hand holding Gretchen Felker-Martin’s latest release, “Black Flame”. The title is a chalky turquoise blue to white ombré on a black background that fades to gray toward the bottom; smoke rising from the bottom, with the caption: “Do you want it?” in all-caps, italicized font. The character on the front is a creepy one. Despite missing its eyeballs, black tears still flow from their sockets, which are lit up with a glowing yellow hue. White pale skin, crusty lips outlined in black, strips of photo negative film pours from their mouth and wraps around their neck.

"It will also make clear that it will not be deemed as discrimination to exclude trans people from those facilities and that services will be allowed to request birth certificates to ensure single-sex services are protected."

It includes care homes.

Fucking care homes.

Item #6 in my latest "Linkfest" newsletter: buttondown.com/clivethompso...

like Thomas' nervous hand thrusting, shaking, into the wound of the Saviour, spread so that he may know Christ from within— and Jesus saith unto him, blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Wouldn't Thomas and his apostle friends want for more, not just touch but taste the gash, taste flesh and more, drink from Him before He became wine in the chalice?

at any point did Prometheus, waiting between nightfall and the eagle's return, feel more whole? was the cavity ever of greater comfort than its filling?
