You might have heard about the recent puberty blocker ban in Aotearoa New Zealand. It's a cruel move against some of our most vulnerable rangatahi. Fortunately, The Professional Association for Transgender Health Aotearoa is taking legal action to try and reverse the ban before too much harm can be done.

A few ttrpg designers from Aotearoa have put together this bundle to support PATHA. $19.99 NZD gets you supplements for D&D, Pathfinder, MOTW and Stewpot, as well as a collection of stand alone games. All for a really important cause!

Rpgs not your thing? Don't have twenty bucks spare? You can also donate directly to PATHA here.

Reblogs are greatly appreciated to help get more eyes on this! We're grateful for help in whatever form it takes. <3

Something I’ve noticed recently

[manchestermauler]

commercial art for advertisements is in such a strange spot for me because i don't think that being An Advertisement stops something from counting as art and i think the specific challenges and objectives that arise from doing art for advertising are genuinely interesting. and i think a lot of commercial illustration that has been produced is cool and compelling to look at. but i also am just fundamentally disgusted by and feel deep hatred for advertising and i think the fact that so many artists have to do it is kind of a crime against humanity. and in a lot of ways i think that the fact that there Is legitimate art being made for advertising purposes can kind of stop people from wanting to or being willing to condemn advertising. it lets people get tricked into becoming unpaid guerilla marketers without even realizing that's what they're doing, because they want to engage with a piece of art on its own terms, and they don't realize that 'its own terms' are not the terms on which a piece of art used for advertising is being shown to them.

Their names are Qesser Zuhrah, Amu Gib, Heba Muraisi, Jon Cink, T Hoxha, Kamran Ahmed, and Muhammad Umer Khalid. An eighth prisoner, Lewie Chiaramello, who is diabetic, is also on a partial hunger strike, refusing food every other day at serious risk to his health. Today marks Day 40 without food for Qesser and Amu, who began the strike on November 2, the 108th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. Their bodies are weakening—five strikers have already been hospitalized—but their resolve is not: the strikers state that they will continue to refuse food until the British government fulfills their five demands. Several of these demands pertain to the strikers’ own cases: an end to censorship of their communications, immediate bail, and the release of documents relating to Israeli state and corporate influence in their cases to ensure a fair trial. They also embrace the wider Palestine solidarity movement: the strikers call for the de-proscription of Palestine Action, a direct action group that was categorized as a terrorist organization in July; since then, more than 2,350 people have been arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding signs indicating their ‘support’ for the group. The final demand extends beyond Britain’s borders: the strikers call for an end to the UK operations of Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, which produces 85% of the drone fleet being used to perpetrate genocide in Palestine. This is the largest coordinated prison hunger strike in UK history since the 1981 H-Block strike by Irish republican prisoners, protesting the British state’s refusal to recognize them as prisoners of war. Over the seven months of that strike, Thatcher’s government watched ten young men die before quietly granting almost all of their demands. The hollowing bodies of Bobby Sands and his comrades were witnessed and grieved around the world.

I live in the U.K. and I have heard nothing of this.

[sarcastically] I can't imagine why our media aren't reporting on it.

[i-suggest-becoming-a-guy]

Well folks, it’s happening. We need to fight for our sisters in New Hampshire so they may use the bathroom as they please. This is ridiculous!

I am pleading with any NH residents, please mail your local legislatures, get your, protest, something! This is an obvious overreach of government power and it will become more common if we do not shoot it down now!

New Hampshire Republicans Want to Keep Trans People Out of Restrooms in Private Businesses

If passed, the bill would be the farthest reaching anti-trans legislation.

[almonddespair]

If you're near New Hampshire do everything you can to help fight this, if you're not, PLEASE spread the word! The trans women there deserve your support and solidarity, not just thoughts and prayers! I know how scary it can be to call and mail your government officials and I know how disheartening the empty platitudes they often respond with if they respond at all can be, but your voice can and does make a difference, especially when it isn't alone, so I am begging you not to be a bystander here!

I'm really tired of binary trans people with conforming pronouns getting angry about being asked their pronouns in trans social groups.

This is not for you.

This is not to make you specifically feel a certain way.

This is for people whose pronouns (or gender) can't get deciphered from their presentation. This is for nonbinary people who look identical to you, or somehow else, but still can't nonverbally send a message about their identity, because there are no developed normative ways of presentation for types of nonbinary.

If you can put together a coherent outfit and set of mannerisms that unambiguously tells everyone familiar with norms of feminine and masculine how you want to be called, good for you, but many other people can't. It's not their fault that they can't. You didn't try better than them, you didn't suffer more than them, you didn't do anything to get validation on their expense in a place that's supposed to treat us all equally.

I'd rather you experience a momentary inconvenience of being asked and then we all are addressed the way we want, than you have all the satisfaction of being correctly sorted into he or she at a glance while your fellow trans people are being blatantly misgendered.

[cryptotheism]

Media from the early 2000s seem to conceptualize goths as some kind of disease that happens to sad people rather than a fashion and music subculture.

[cryptotheism]

Like they clearly want goth makeup to flag that a character is disturbed and socially dangerous rather than like, a person that enjoys the music of The Cure.

following that last reblog, something I think a lot of people don't realize is that when you make it impossible to safely discuss suicidal thoughts and suicidality in your communities, a lot of suicidal people are not just going to continue repressing those thoughts and urges indefinitely (and that repression itself is a problem too btw, but I digress). a lot of suicidal people are going to seek out new communities where they can be open and honest about their feelings. there are a lot of pro-suicide communities on the internet who are very welcoming to desperate lonely people like this. and I mean, can you blame people for going there? if their options are 1) "open up to my friend/therapist/family, get the cops called on me, get tied down and strip searched by a medic, be imprisoned and traumatized in a hospital for a few days, lose thousands of dollars, never be trusted around medicine or sharps again" or 2) "anonymously make a new friend online who'll listen to what you have to say without judgement". like yeah. obviously people are going to choose the latter option.

make yourself a safe space for your suicidal friends, or you suicidal friends will find their own "safe" space somewhere else.
