#BIPOC rights

If you had told me a year ago that we could end up living in a society where uterus-havers bodies belong to the government I would've asked you what kind of omegaverse smut fanfiction you were reading.

The timing on this is super urgent, they're deciding on what will be attached to the NDAA in the next couple days. FFTF set up a calling tool to put pressure on democratic leadership. Please take a few minutes to call and demand they stop this move. Script and more information are here:

Just want to take a moment to ensure that anyone following me knows that this is a safe place for people of any and all (or no!) genders, trans and non-binary folks, as well as all disabled and neurodivergent people.

I keep things pretty light on social media because the world is fucking terrible and this is where I come to post about my gay ships and the stories I make up for them. I’ve been in fandom online since I was 12 years old (damn. 13 years) and I know how toxic it can get, and I try to keep that kind of stuff off of my accounts. And I always think my stances go without saying, but that’s not always the case.

I have so many loved ones who are trans, disabled, autistic, ADHD, or a mix of some or all of the above, and I am also my own flavor of neurospicy. There is a lot of hatred in the world toward us and the people we love and I don’t want my online space to include any of that. I thankfully haven’t seen anything transphobic or ableist on my feed, but I just wanted to make this post so that anyone following me who doesn’t know me personally knows how important these topics are to me. 💜🏳️‍⚧️

It goes without saying: read the books they are trying to ban.

A question for all the leftists I see screaming about refusing to vote for Biden "on principle": what is your plan? I'm genuinely asking, because I have seen no actual ideas for what the course of action is if Trump gets elected again. It will not trigger a revolution like you think it will. 4 years of a pandemic with corporations making record profits while the general populace suffers and still almost no traction gained by labor movements should have made that clear to everyone. It will not cause the US to collapse like you think it will. The country will continue to function, however weakened, with a vengeful and sadistic dictator who is impune to the law and cannot be removed, as well as hundreds of millions of enslaved citizens, and millions more being murdered by the state for the crime of daring to exist. Countless others will likely be lost to suicide. And the ones who survive will remember those who refused "on principle" to do the bare minimum to attempt to keep them safe.

Please share. The situation in Italy is severe. What's happening? In these months our government became oppressive against students and protesters. Today police arrested a lot of people who were going to Rome to protest against the g3nocide in Palest*ne. They also started to attack LGBTQ+ people (especially trans/enby folks). They are attacking the scientific research. They are attacking our right to transition or get an ab*rtion. They are attacking our right to learn consent or discuss about queer topics. They ignore the vi0lence against women, BIPOC and queer folks. They are banning laws against discrimination because "it is an attack to free speech" but they are trying to attack everyone's right to exist. Before they start attacking the social medias, please share this.

I can't help but worry about the future now. This event will do two things for the election. One, it will galvanize Trump supporters and make him more sympathetic to moderates. Two, it will make liberals less likely to vote and moderates harder on liberal candidates.

I hope that we don't see Trump in office again, but I am now afraid in a way I wasn't several hours ago. If Trump gets re-elected the people who will be most hurt are going to be BIPOC, Queer, Immigrant, Religious Minorities, Disabled, and importantly both Ukranians and Palestinians.

If you are part of any of these groups I urge you to find support networks to help you survive, however that might look. If you aren't a US American, please encourage your political bodies to pressure the US government to maintain and improve on human rights and environmental protections, as well as being willing to get targeted groups and people ojt of the US if it becomes necessary.

If you are a US American please vote, and encourage everyone else to vote as well. Push your representatives to become more active in supporting protections for marginalized groups, the environment, and protection for Palestinians and Ukraine.

Importantly, don't lose hope. It is dark, I will not lie or obfuscate on that, but do not let your fear make you inactive. This will be a fight, it will be a fight for years,but it is one we can win and ot is one we must win.

I'm about to become the meanest most anarchist gnc trans man and tear down the system, screw the consequences, I won't live through the second stonewall quietly, who wants to join me?

I don't think enough people are aware that fervent support only exists to conteract opposition

"Why are so many people openly supporting trans people lately???" Because trans rights are under attack and it's important to drown the misinformation and bigotry

"Why "black lives matter"??? Why not ALL lives??" Because Black people in North America are being stripped off their rights to life and safety and it's important to scream louder than the racists

"Why are so many people SO damn sexual?? Why do people need to flaunt their sexuality and kinks???" Because fundamentalists are spreading propaganda and committing psy-ops to make the population at large believe sex, sex work, sexuality, and sex education are evil and it's important to flaunt our cock and balls and cock-and-ball tortures as much as we can to show the world that freaks and freakiness will not be prayed away

"Why are people making SO much horrid and freaky and weird media?? Why not write happy stories????" Because our right to explore our traumas, fetishes, fantasies, intrusive thoughts, or just curiosities are being slowly stripped away by a fascist government that hates art and it's important to create as much fucked up, weird, freaky, degenerate art as we possibly can so we can show the neo-nazis we are fucking ungovernable

Do you think we'd be this fucking loud if we weren't trying to fight back???

Don't you see?? Don't you fucking see??? They want you to be white, cisgender, straight, god-fearing and Christian, they want you to have little god-fearing children and live a white-picketted fence life, they want you to wear modest clothing and keep your head down when you are mentally unwell, when you are abused and assaulted. They want you to politely call the Police Officers and report your degenerate neighbour, your Black neighbour, your whore neighbour, your trans neighbour.

You're tired of people being cringe? Being weird? Being sexual? Being loud about their rights? Oh?? You're anmoyed?? You "don't get it"???

Can you imagine how exhausting it is for us to have to always do this? Half the shit i create is 30% self indulgence, and 70% some form of protest, of spite, a big loud "no, you can't assimilate me, I'd rather fucking die than be marketable, I'd rather go out screaming bloody murder than be demure in the face of numerous faceless figures sitting on hand-carved mahogany with fancy robes who never even knew that my DeviantArt OC was a fallen angel with lime green wings and red horns but speak of me like they know who I am. I'll show you who I fucking am, and you will fucking hate it, and you'll have to learn to live in a world where millions of others just like me exist, and I'll give you no other option"

I'm not gonna say names, cause a bunch of you are just friends with the epitome of toxicity out there and you got me freaking tired of your DMs and boring screenshots, and that fake-ass speech about "I'm not into this discussions and drama", except when this affects you.

But, finally yesterday I listened to someone talking about the political aspects of Witchcraft and how much we can do, not like your favorite white ones, who are all the time repeating that #Witchcraft is political and then keep a very convenient silence when something happens to not lose followers and readers, cause of course... Money is more important than actually putting your hands into action, right?

My constant reminder to all, that witchcraft is a path of empowerment historically carried over the shoulders of slaves, women, immigrants (Romanians, Ukranians, German, British, Africans, Caribbeans, etc...) And being pro-diversity is deeper than just highlighting a #blacklivesmatter in your profile to fake your support to the black community.

Also, if "what you do" in pro of diversity, is just to go around as a white hero repeating over and over how cool you are, and at the same time you're being paid for it, you're not doing it for diversity, you're just "supporting" a convenient cause for you.

Have a nice day, the good ones, and the toxic fake-ass ones too ☝🏻

PEN America and Penguin Random House are suing Florida over book bans.

Authors involved in the lawsuit are LGBTQIA writers such as George M. Johnson (All Boys Aren't Blue), Kyle Lukoff (Too Bright to See), and David Levithan (Two Boys Kissing) , as well as Ashley Hope Perez (Out of Darkness) whose historical YA is about a segregated town in Texas. Two parents from the district are also participating in the lawsuit.

There has been a concerted effort across America to ban books by queer and BIPOC authors by calling them "pornographic."

Das ist jetzt mehr oder weniger der richtige Anfang von dem Blog und der elfte und letzte Eintrag von dem Twitter Thread.

Auf dem Daumen is der Trans Pride Farbverlauf nicht so gelungen wie ich es wollte und sieht ein bisschen aus wie ein Osterei.

Am Zeigefinger hab ich die Intersex Pride Flag, da es einfach ein extrem schönes Design meiner Meinung nach ist.

Den Mittelfinger hab ich mit nem braunen Chromlack lackiert damit das mit dem kleinen Finger, auf dem ich nen Holographic Gradient auf schwarzem Lack gemacht hab zu Bipoc Pride wird.

Und auf dem Ringfinger hab ich ein Bleiglasfenster Design mit den Farben der Six Colored Pride Flag.

Merkt euch ihr solltet nicht nur im Juni sondern im ganzen Jahr auf euch Stolz sein und euch nicht schämen müssen!

Happy Pride Pride all year round!

I said it once and I’ll say it again.

I know we'd all like to pretend that trump was never reelected and that nothing bad is going to happen but now is not the time to go into hiding or stay silent. It's time to fight, harder than ever before, harder than the queers and women who came before us, harder than stonewall, harder than the civil rights movement, because the freedom our forebearers fought for is worth preserving, so don't you dare give up. Don't you dare give up on us 🏳‍⚧⚧🏳‍🌈🖤🤎
