I know it's more nuanced than this but I think having a hard policy of thinking anyone who genuinely hates one group of queer people for their identity might as well hate all of us and thus I should block any queerphobic queer person I see can do a lot to save you from believing anything exclusionists say.

"bomb that kills all-" "I just don't get bi women bringing their-" "pansexuality isn't a real thing-" "all lesbians-" "trans men really are men bcs they're all misogynistic predators-" "theyfabs-" "pfft aroace people are cringe-" "nonbinary people are actually all-" Instant block. Goodbye. Not listening. It's for both solidarity with your fellow queers AND to protect yourself, because once a person is convinced to hate one group for their immutable traits they can be convinced fairly easily to hate another too, and thus I do not trust them.

Just block these people the second they pop up, they aren't your allies and nothing they have to say is worth listening to.

Been enjoying decorating things we have in our apartment lately, and one of those were these two coasters featuring Nea and Yui, both in their default outfits and in a favourite outfit combo of mine :)

what the hell is going on

[penny-anna]

i believe in you Binface. you can do it. this could be your moment.

[penny-anna]

Please god it would be so funny

[penny-anna]

there is no downside to voting for Count Binface. its not taking away from other candidates bcos they aren't any and the more votes he gets the stupider Farage looks.

[penny-anna]

for people out of the loop:

Nigel Farage is the leader of Reform UK, a far right party who are currently in the process of a serious bid to become the UK government. they are just straight up evil.

Count Binface is an intergalactic space warrior with a bin on his head. he likes to run as a novelty candidate in general and mayoral elections. a big thing he likes to do is run as a candidate against the incumbent prime minister:

(Also pictured: Boris Johnson, Elmo)

Anyway, in brief:

Nigel Farage is currently in the midst of a big scandal about his finances

He has decided to deal with this by 1) making a show of nobly resigning from parliament and then 2) immediately running in the resulting by-election

He has stated that he is letting 'the people' judge his actions and implied that if he wins that will prove that he has been exonerated in the court of public opinion

His goal was presumably to get a big resounding win over the other parties, proving that The People still love him.

the other parties have thus far decided that this is a 'vanity election' and, well, there is one very easy way to ensure that he will not beat any of them, and that is simply not to play.

and as a result the only person who has so far confirmed they are running against him is Count Binface. no matter the outcome this makes Nigel Farage look like, u know, a fucking clown.

[butterflyslinky]

So what happens if Count Binface actually wins? Does he join Parliament? Does he have to take the bin off his face?

[penny-anna]

I've seen some people saying he would have to give up his title but it would seem that is no longer the case as of 1999; so, no, he can keep his ceremonial bin if he wishes.

Important to note also that Count Binface is the alter ego of comedian & political satirist Jon Harvey who seems to be an intelligent individual with reasonable politics. As I said no real downside.

‘Get Rid Of The Only Eyewitnesses’: Critics Are Sounding The Alarm Of A ‘Cover-Up’ After Fatal ICE Shooting

DHS has a track record of lying about the people ICE officers shoot.

Matt Shuham at HuffPost:

Witnesses to an ICE officer’s fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston on Tuesday are currently in ICE custody and being pressured to “self-deport,” according to a representative of their families, raising concerns about a potential “cover-up” related to the incident. The men — Víctor Hugo Salgado Araujo, the deceased’s brother, as well as Daniel Tirado Pantoja and José Trinidad Rojas Pliego — were in the same work vehicle as Salgado Araujo when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer opened fire Tuesday and killed him, said Juan Proaño, CEO of the League of United Latin American Citizens, or LULAC, to HuffPost on Thursday. Proaño was speaking for the families of the three men. The Department of Homeland Security has claimed — so far without any evidence — that the shooting was in “self-defense.” “We’ve been in contact with the families of the men” who were in the vehicle at the time of the shooting, Proaño said. “We know specifically that they have been pressured to sign self-deportation orders.”

Worryingly, the men do not yet have legal representation and seem inclined to sign the voluntary departure orders, Proaño said. “We’re working really, really hard to see if we can find representation for them — and to make sure that we can get their witness statements, their accounts of what actually happened,” he said. [...]

“What we fear is that this is another effort from ICE to cover up something that they did very, very wrong,” said Cesar Espinosa, co-founder and executive director of the civil rights organization FIEL Houston, to Democracy Now. It is unclear whether Espinosa had spoken directly to the family members of the detained men or was relaying others’ reports. At a press conference Wednesday, Salgado Araujo’s family and community advocates called for full transparency from the Trump administration, as well as an independent investigation of the shooting.

Salgado Araujo’s eldest son, Ronaldo Salgado, said that his father had been prepared for the possibility of being stopped by ICE personnel given recent immigration enforcement activity in the area. Salgado said his family, including his father, had “so many conversations” about what to do if approached by immigration officers: He would not sign anything, and would instead work from detention with family and lawyers to secure his legal release.

[...] In the Department of Homeland Security’s telling, ICE officers on Tuesday “attempted to conduct a vehicle stop” of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who then “attempted to evade arrest.”

Citing “information we are receiving,” the department’s statement then said that Salgado Araujo “rammed an ICE law enforcement vehicle” and “weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer resulting in our officer firing his weapon in self-defense.” The statement also said the DHS inspector general’s office was leading an investigation into the “agent-involved shooting,” and that “FBI Houston is leading an investigation into the potential assault on a federal law enforcement officer.”

Witnesses to the ICE shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo are currently under ICE custody and are being pressured to “self-deport.”

with so much mislabeling like, trans guys and intersex people as terfs, you occasionally stumble on someone flagged who is like

Femxle Wombyn, 24. Girl. Pink. My pronouns are Adult Woman.

And I'm like oh! There you are. You'd think with the bullshit that trans radfems spew that yall had been hunted to extinction but alas, you cunts are still alive and kickin, huh?

[modwyr]

the problem with liking video games is that the gaming industry is genuinely so evil and needs to be wiped out

[streetkit]

it does suck that the government defunded PBS but it's also so fucking funny that now that they don't take uncle sam's slavery dollars they're running videos like "How america's foundation was built on genocide"

no more being polite about it fuck the USA

[hemipenal-system]

it is kind of surreal to watch someone who is not transfem be like “well because they were raised as men, trans women did get the chance to learn to take up space and the like” and then every trans woman you talk to is a broken beaten shell of a thing who’s too traumatized to raise her voice or sit with her legs apart, i will say

[hemipenal-system]

transmed son or radfem daughter no you can't disown them

[pingintech]

there is a lot of exclusionary and divisive trans discourse on this website these days in the midst of it all it can be hard for some people to remember we are all one community so im taking some time out today to make a shout out specifically to drag royalty

✨drag culture positivity✨

but first!!!

lets talk about the history of drag!!! drag is fundamentally trans

long before the term transgender was coined and even before the term transsexual was coined the term transvestite was coined and the trans community slowly grew over time from the 20-80s it was explicitly a community for transvestites and transsexuals (transsexual was coined in the 60s) but it was HEAVILY segregated across social class and racial lines

the people who got official diagnoses could afford hormones and surgery and were accepted into trans mags were overwhelmingly white upper class trans people and poc were gatekept from using terms to identify themselves like transvestite transsexual or transgenderist

so ballroom culture grew as an underground queer counter culture explicitly for black and latinx trans people instead of trans women they were drag queens at drag balls instead of transvestites there were stage queens instead of transsexuals/transgenderists there were street queens

the queer community we have today with pride parades and pride month is because of marsha p johnson a black trans woman and sylvia rivera a latina sex worker trans woman we owe our community to trans people of color and the drag community

in the 2010s there was a pretty important schism in the trans community trans as an umbrella term used to be for transsexuals transvestites transgender people drag royalty crossdressers nonbinary people and intersex people and trans with an asterisk was often used to denote that trans describes many labels under our umbrella there are good and bad reasons why it is no longer used but in modern times people often treat trans as if it means only and exclusively (binary) transgender people and i think its important we remember the asterisk

✨drag is trans*✨

transcending binary gender expression and performance expressing the constraints of rigid binary gender is a fundamentally queer expression of gender and it is no coincidence that when conservatives go after trans people they loop drag queens in that as well because a lot of the issues drag royalty experience are also trans issues and drag is still predominantly populated by trans people of color to this day

"All drugs are drugs" = a surprisingly radical position that will upset people right across the political spectrum

This means:

If you draw a hard line between "drug" and "medicine" based on current legality where you live (or any other criteria) you've gone wrong somewhere,

If you think legality and/or prescription status tells you all you need about a substance's capacity to do massive harm to someone's body, mind or well-being you've gone wrong somewhere,

If you think legality and/or prescription status tells you all you need about a substance's capacity to contribute meaningfully to someone's healing, function or happiness you've gone wrong somewhere,

If you think certain substances should be excluded from informed consent (either withheld or forcibly administered) you've gone wrong somewhere.

Never not thinking about the trans woman I met in a gay bar in a town I'll never go back to who said "gender roles are like chains, fun to use in bondage scenarios but largely irrelevant in daily life"
