Pride Month Pinned Post

Hey yall, Im Ash, trans man and general nuisance. I do art sometimes when im not too stressed to function (most of the time). I live with my girlfriend (also trans), our dog and 3 cats.

Gf has been struggling with unemployment for about a year now in no small part due to her transness and weve been relying on crowdfunding and family (support from both have been dwindling because this isnt a sustainable way to live) and I havent been able to follow through with any of my plans for my art business because im constantly busy managing crises and the house crowdfunding/PR bullshit and as of recently, trying to get back on my medicines and benefits after falling out of touch with my psych clinic.

In better times, i used to keep my patreon updated for free once a week every thursday. I also use bsky sometimes, as well as pillowfort and ko fi. Its been a struggle to keep up with these because we dont have real internet and gfs hot spot is hard throttled and takes several minutes to load any webpage. (its taken me like an hour to get all these links compiled. Ko fi straight up wouldnt load but im ash anyperson over there too)

We have $1200usd of monthly bills so if youd like to help us we have two payment methods and a wishlist:

CA: $AshTheAutistic

As always, nobody is obligated to share or donate. Thank you in advance if you do, though.

Online Age Verification Law Could Kill Whistleblowing

The KIDS Act, ostensibly aimed at protecting children, will raise the risk for journalists, dissidents, and whistleblowers.

"Democrats and Republicans in Congress have struck a deal on a bill they say will help keep children and teens safe online. The KIDS Act could pass on the House floor as soon as next week; if enacted, it would fundamentally change the way everyone — not just kids — accesses the internet.

At stake is your ability to use many social media platforms without revealing your identity. 

That’s because the KIDS Act at least strongly incentivizes — and, for some services, outright requires — age verification. Many platforms will turn to age verification to avoid potential liability under the law. Companies like X, video-sharing services like Vimeo, and others with a history of users’ populating social feeds with edgy content may be required to verify users’ ages because they host a certain amount of content deemed “sexual material harmful to minors,” a term that the KIDS Act defines broadly. 

That’s a big problem for people who need to be able to use the internet anonymously, since, as Taylor Lorenz has previously written about in The Intercept, “there’s no way to reliably verify someone’s age without verifying who they are.” 

Threats to online anonymity harm everyone, but one group is often overlooked: journalists and the sources who talk to them. Age verification requirements will help the Trump administration carry out its vendetta against the press by creating new avenues to identify journalists’ confidential sources. [...]

Mandating age verification effectively hands Big Tech and the government a skeleton key to the identities of every whistleblower, dissident, and investigative reporter who uses online platforms, not to mention everyone else, including children. This kind of surveillance on steroids that surrenders our right to speak, report, and read the news anonymously won’t make anyone safer."

KOSA again, with a different name… and they’re trying to sneak it past you before July 4th. CALL YOUR REPS!

The KIDS Act Would Require Age Checks To Get Online

Buried inside the KIDS Act are provisions that will push online services to verify all users’ ages, require government-directed moderation p

Like the man said…the shadow takes another form and ruses again. Time to make some calls and let them know we’re watching.

they're still terming random transfems as i type this i see which does make quite a statement doing this today specifically

[puppetstuffing]

[puppetedlove]

[tamamowand]

QUITE the statement to be nuking transfems at the current accelerated pace right at the start of pride month like this, isn't it

[quinnception]

This post is no more than two days old as of June 3rd, 2026. All of these blogs were nuked in two days or less.

Grammar check is over here keeping me from accidentally revealing that I'm Jewish in my fanfiction

Apparently, "tell over" as in "to tell over the story of" is a Jewish English construction (according to google, which I consulted after grammar check gave me a blue squiggly line - the first result is a dictionary for the Jewish English lexicon)

And to think that earlier today I was thinking about how I nearly exclusively write in "Standard American English" (whatever that is), and barely write in Jewish American English, even though I almost always speak it. It seems I was quite wrong

[magnetothemagnificent]

I found out a few months ago that "hold by" as in "I hold by Rav X" or "I don't hold by this ruling" is in Jewish English and not standard English lmfao

Enough about maid arthur where the fuck is my maid loid?!?!?

[cock-holliday]

"everyone not like me is my enemy" "my identity is a curse that causes my suffering" "but my suffering is noble and proves i deserve compassion unlike those who haven't suffered like me" "my biggest purpose is to sacrifice myself to those who suffered worse than me and any joy and pride is a distraction from my noble suffering"

this isn't theory, this is a suicide note. let's start you off with some basic self-respect and go from there

[genderkoolaid]

"ohhh i just don't understand how people can be racist it makes no sense!!! transphobia is just so strange and foreign to me i can't possibly understand why it happens!!" that's not something you should be proud of. it's really not that hard to understand the underlying motivations of bigotry. it is not noble or virtuous to act like bigotry is some mystical evil that none of us Good People™ can possibly fathom. your ignorance is not a sign of moral purity, it's just plain old dangerous ignorance.

[genderkoolaid]

frank bidart be upon ye

"how could people possibly justify xyz act of bigotry???" very easily. especially when its part of an ideology that is deeply ingrained in their society. this is a basic element of being human.

[natalieironside]

The Democratic Party pivoted from "Independent political formations are unrealistic and will never get anywhere, we're the only game in town" to "The socialists are a major threat to us and we have to do everything we can to stop them" basically overnight. Like I knew it was coming but I didn't know it'd be that quick.

[dovesndecay]

I was kinda hoping to skip a dedicated begpost this month but such is life.

(and if you don't know me, hi I'm reyah and I'm a disabled queer in florida and I make art over on ⤿patreon⤾ when the spoons allow)

For June, I still have $400 in bills to clear before I'm pushing the rock back up the same hill in August. More than half of that is for medical care -- prescriptions are coming back around to need renewal, and I need to see my doctor for updates on medication changes.

Urgently, however, I need to come up with $40 to renew my car's registration which is now officially expired.

direct donations are incredibly appreciated, but only if you can, only if you’re willing <3

PayPal | (link) Venmo | (dovesndecay) Cashapp | ($dovesndecay)

[dovesndecay]

$60/$400

The registration has been renewed, thanks to y'all, and that is a relief cuz that was stressing me tf out. *phew*

Please continue to send this around; I very much do still need more help. <3 Thank you all so much.

Periodic rent-lowering-gunshots:

Fiction is not reality.

You can enjoy things in fiction that would be awful in the real world. Like playing a murderhobo in a game! In the real world, being or supporting a murderer-thief would be pretty damn awful, while in the game it's just good fun. Same with anything else you choose to do with the pixels on the screen, like kinks that don't affect anyone real, so they're okay in fiction, but would be pretty damn bad in real life.

No one else is responsible for your online experience. They are required not to harass you, but they are not and never will be obligated to not post about ships, kinks, or tropes you dislike just to avoid you seeing them. It's up to you to blacklist words or phrases, block tags, or even block users as needed to avoid seeing content that upsets you.

No one can force you to read anything against your consent. Any content you don't like seeing can be instantly avoided by closing out of the offending post/fic.

You are not owed an online experience free of discomfort.

Nothing that happens in your imagination can ever make you a bad person. Words you write or read about fictional characters will never make you a bad person.

The claim that media consumption influences real-life behavior is intellectually dishonest and serves only to excuse the behavior of real offenders.

Fiction is a safe way to explore horrifying or confusing concepts. Therapists agree that fiction, even (or especially) about taboo topics is a good coping mechanism, especially, but not exclusively, for trauma survivors. Fiction is to adults what play therapy is to children. This doesn't stop being true if the work in question is of a sexual nature.

Sex isn't an inherently worse or better motivation than anything else. A work written to create feelings of arousal isn't dirty, shameful, or in any way less pure than works written to entertain, provoke moral questions, or for other reasons. And worth noting is that multiple purposes can exist in the same story, especially fanfiction.

You aren't entitled to an explanation for why someone reads, writes, or otherwise enjoys certain works, kinks, tropes, ships, etc.

[radioactive-earthshine]

It's always funny to me when people give their blorbos all the same "correct" far left political views which while I understand the urge to make these blorbos as progressive as possible as political commentary, there are some characters that I feel in my bones are 100% centrist, pro-ai, pro-capitalism or absolutely refuse to vote and its supported by the source material. As a narrative tool these features are still great for being political commentary, even if the character never changes.

[radioactive-earthshine]

"These are all my blorbos and they all have the same opinions as me and are perfect people and have absolutely no 'icky' or sketchy opinions that would make me label them as evil irl!"

[radioactive-earthshine]

No for real, headcanon your blorbos having an opinion you vehemently disagree with or find rancid, particularly if you catch yourself doing the above constantly.

Exploding in the kiln on purpose for attention

[iggyfing]

absolutely flabbergasting to see people who have so enthusiastically succumbed to despair. like okay denethor, but some of us are gonna actually face the armies of mordor in battle nonetheless.

[figtreeandvine]

The thing about Denethor is that he not only succumbed to despair, he wanted to ensure that Faramir succumbed with him. Similarly, a lot of people now are not only succumbing to despair, they're actively proselytizing despair, trying to convince others to join them in their hopelessness. Despair is apparently lonely and they want company in their self-immolation.

[knives-in-the-dishwater]

btw denethor succumbed to despair bc he was doomscrolling on the palantir. Sauron tweaked his algorithm so he only saw bad news, and he fell into the trap of thinking the world couldn't be saved.

[paradoxspaceheater]

THE devotionshipping trope is "are they loyal to me or to my title" and the answer HAS to be that they genuinely don't differentiate between the two and are confused and slightly alarmed by the question
