We've reached the 'people are being disappeared' stage, folks...

please think of the disabled people of gaza. please think of the diabetic people of gaza. please think of the neurodivergent people of gaza. please think of those whose lives are relying on medicine that has either stopped coming in due to the blockade, or is available in such scarcity that its price has skyrocketed.

we're approaching winter. on top of the challenge of securing waterproof tents and sufficiently warm clothing, some diabetic people in gaza have stopped taking their insulin as they can no longer afford it. those who are able to acquire it for now know every shot may be their last.

Now the ceasefire has been breached and there are a large number of martyrs and wounded. Blood is everywhere.

a critique i don't understand people giving to books/shows exploring themes of gender-based violence:

"but if [characters] are killing/sacrificing so many women, wouldn't there be hella population issues?"

and/or "if women are scarce in [society/community] wouldn't they be prized instead? who would be so willing to give up their daughters if they're so rare?"

like...y'all, there are thousands of communities all over the world where women are murdered at high rates every single day. There are communities in real life that are struggling with maintaining their populations due to a much smaller number of women compared to men; and women are still disenfranchised and treated like shit. Especially women who are further disenfranchised due to racial/ethnoreligious/caste labels, who are transgender, who are gender-nonconforming, who are queer, who are disabled, who don't speak the dominant language or hold citizenship, etc. etc. etc.

Part of what is being analyzed in the work is often the very concept of dehumanizing a particular group, even when it comes at the entire society's expense, to prop up a rotting, unsustainable power fantasy. Oftentimes, the resulting issues (low marriage/birth rates, murder and injury at the hands of families/partners, intimate partner violence, etc.) are blamed on the women themselves for existing as they are in a society that does not value them.

Because that is exactly what exists in real life.

The character of the day is Beth Higgins from Maggie Hale’s Corner

Shakespeare's romances are amazing because in his plays marriage is an act of liberation from tyranny and a union of equals, rather than being simply moving from one patriarch to the next in this essay i will

Okay, so I try hard to cover global queer history, and this isn't marking a stop to that, but I am aware that most of my audience is American, and I want to address them very directly right now.

Google Removed Pride Month From Its Calendar App, and Stonewall National Monument's "LGBTQ" status was changed to "LGB" on the government website. This is the beginning of the erasure of queer history, not the end. I don't know what the future of the United States looks like, as someone who studies queer history and has done so for many years, I want to share some tools with you.

Now is a good time to prioritize local queer history, Making Gay History is a great project, so is the Digital Transgender Archive, but also check your city and see what resources there are.

Read and buy books about queer history. I have an affiliate list with some of the books I personally recommend.

If you use Google Calendar, repopulate that resource with so much queer history with a free queer history calendar plug-in, it has names from queer history that you can also learn more about for free when they come up. As the author of these articles, feel free to save them, print them off, whatever makes them freely accessible as suppression get's worse.

Use your local library. Email the board about book bans, request banned books, request queer books, and make your voice heard.

Make queer art. Share queer art. Protect queer art. Here is some public-domain queer art to use as you wish.

Keep up with queer news, THEM and Pink News are both great resources.

All of these tools are currently freely accessible with an internet connection. Queer history is a community responsibility, do your part.

With Captain America: Brave New World releasing tomorrow, we at comicedit wanted to remind everyone of the ongoing boycott against this film for the character Ruth, aka Sabra's inclusion, which despite numerous reshoots hasn't been removed from the film.

For more information on Sabra's history as a Zionist propaganda character, @imperiuswrecked has written a guide here.

Instead of buying a movie ticket, we urge you to instead donate to the Gaza Soup Kitchen, which is trying to give survivors of the genocide warm food, and to donate to one of the many fundraisers that still need help rebuilding their homes. Gazafunds chooses a random vetted fundraiser if you need help choosing one.

And as a reminder, every actor's decision to be in this film is a choice they made. You do not need and should not be justifying their decision to work with a woman who actively chose to join the IDF despite being exempt. A boycott does not mean "pirate but create fan material as usual", it means no engagement. It is important that this film exist in zero conversations that aren't about its Zionism.

Free Palestine.

Queer K-Drama Rec

*WAVES* It's been a while since I've made a web drama rec but I just finished a cute and short little lesbian k-drama I think you should watch!

Lonely Girls (gl, lesbian romance, web drama) 4 Episodes (8 minutes each, on youtube)

Plot: Two girls meet on tinder and just absolutely fall head over heals for one another. These are happy gays people! and one of them has the cutest dimples ever! Mostly each episode is them working out little disagreements and then making up. It's CUTE and if you don't like it you wasted 10 minutes ;-)

The main flaw is that it's SUPER short (as most korean gls are highly underfunded compared to bls--yes I'm mad about this. Why can't we have both?) which means the plots are very underdeveloped and not super deep. But if you're looking to support queer content and watch something super light and fluffy, head on over to youtube!

This is the first episode of a web series I've been producing, directing, acting in, editing, location scouting, etc, for about 2 years with some of my favorite people in the world. I hope you enjoy!

I find myself in the surreal position of being a victim of the Eaton Fire. It's certainly not my favorite experience, but I have been deeply touched by all the "helpers," as Mr. Rogers taught us. Any help would be much appreciated, including just boosting this post. Thank you 🙏

if you're subscribed to Microsoft word, you probably received an email recently saying they're upping their prices. Like, a lot. ($9.99/month instead of $6.99)

guess what though? you can log into your account, click Cancel Subscription, and get the option to continue your subscription at the same price WITHOUT their bullshit AI.

That's right, the new, higher price is actually a different subscription that includes AI that everyone is being opted into by force! What a cool and fun product that clearly everyone wants.

you can also choose to buy Word 2024 without AI for a single lump sum that will be yours in perpetuity, with no updates, for one computer.

Check your subscription if you need Word for work! Don't get duped into paying for something you might not even want
