the poster that this incredible illustration is based on is extremely striking. but while searching for it, I also found earlier posters for conveying this message along with a corresponding one for summer, and I fucking love them. absolutely lovely graphic design work. (both are from 1924, artist is Austin Cooper)

the one I was looking for originally also has a summer variant. (artist is Frederick Charles Herrick: 'it is warmer below' is from 1927, 'it is cooler below' is 1926)

Longtime readers may be aware of how much I relish an excuse to bully a company, so I'm sharing the wealth;

Clothing company Patagonia is currently sueing drag queen Pattie Gonia for "irreparable” harm to their brand.

To be clear; Pattie named herself after the region in South America.

So Pattie is asking people to politely ask Patagonia to drop the lawsuit.

I'm extending the invitation to all of you, because sueing a drag queen for 'infringement' in the current political cultural landscape is vile. Especially a drag queen who has raised millions of dollars for non-profits, uses her platform to raise awareness for climate activism, and fully aligns with Patagonia's apparent climate-conscious mission statement.

They're claiming they're sueing for $1. They're actually asking her to stop using her name, and pay over $1 million in legal fees. They're straight up harassing her.

In contrast, drag queen Jan Sport has a Jansport bag line. It's that easy to just... work with a queen.

Anyway. Be respectful(ish), but feel free to be annoying on Patagnoia's socials, asking them to 'DROP THE LAWSUIT'

I think they have a twitter and tiktok too!

Crazy thing about #healing #recovery Small Victories is when you'll have some shit going on that's like, saying this would involve admitting how you used to be doing. You know? Like hey guys good news I'm gonna change my bedsheets this year

That's the thing about Doing Really Bad you kinda keep it to yourself. And then you start doing a little better & when you try to tell people this the vibe is like "what do you mean you were living in the sewer this whole time are you good?" while you're standing there like Yeah that's not the important part never mind that. I'm literally out of the sewer

I had a dream about Columbo at a drag show. This is what came from it.

I'm waiting for him to explain to me how his newfound love of drag allowed him to prove I killed my business partner

everyone loves to hate terfs until they realise that it actually entails rejecting bioessentialism entirely and then suddenly you’re “taking things too seriously” and you “don’t have a sense of humour” like i’m sorry but saying protect the dolls doesn’t make you immune to terfism it has seeped into every corner of mainstream feminism and unless you’re actively searching it out and checking your own biases you will always be at risk of sharing a space with terfs

this-is-trans-joy

“Only women can—” nope. “But all men—” nah. “The divine femininity of—” gonna stop you right there. “Everyone born ama—” if you finish that sentence I’ll kill you. “Men don’t experience—” you’re wrong. “Gender isn’t real but sex is imm—” *loud incorrect buzzer*

It also goes without saying that bioessentialism inherently can’t be trans inclusive no matter how hard you try. “All men including trans men—” probably not. “This is only a woman’s issue—” is it really? “Afabs only—” why? “All trans men are like—” what? what are they like? finish the sentence i dare you.

Happy Jewish American Heritage Month! ✡︎ 🪬 I made one of these a few years ago, and it was well loved, and I felt it was a good time to make another. In the past year or so I’ve watched the rapid decline of the success of openly Jewish stories and authors in the publishing world. And I understand that it’s because of the rise of Zionism, which has made people (unfortunately) more cautious and more openly hateful towards Jews, and has made Judaism less “trendy” in the market. and as an anti-Zionist Jew myself, I know it makes it all the more important to loudly love Jewish stories and voices, especially as Zionism relies so heavily on antisemitism. To create safe and loving spaces for Jews IS to combat Zionism. So here are some books by (anti-Zionist or non-Zionist) Jewish authors to loudly and proudly love this month and always. things to note: 1. Despite it being Jewish AMERICAN Heritage Month, not all of these authors are American. As a Jewish American living in the UK and seeing the treatment of Jews on both sides the pond, I’ve decided to include authors regardless of location. 2. This is NOT a complete list. I tried to prioritize books that I’ve read or come highly recommended and are on my TBR. I read primarily SFF and horror, so those genres are more represented here. There are also some authors who have to be cautious with stating their opinions publicly for personal safety reasons who I have left off here. Rest assured, I will never knowingly promote a Zionist author on my page. That being said, please leave more recommendations in the comments!!!! Or make your own post and share the love! 3. Not all of the authors have explicitly called themselves “anti-Zionist” but have at least expressed sentiments that make their stance against Zionist ideology clear and may consider themselves non-Zionist or otherwise. 4. If the author had multiple books, I chose their most Jewish one!! all of the books on the first page are explicitly Jewish fantasy, and much of the books throughout are Jewish as well.
