Happy #makeaterriblecomicday
A drawing of a pensive stuffed hedgehog, surrounded by the words, “What if I wanna be a perfectionist who never finishes anything” There is no question mark, the lettering is very inconsistent and gets very wobbly and trails off toward the end. Only the prickly part of the hedgehog is colored in. At the very bottom, it reads “pinecone and poutine - 2026 - make a terrible comic day”

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively. Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar.  She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK
Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards.
Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'.

Nova would like you to know: 1. You are inherently worthy of care. 2. You will be better suited to caring for your community after you’ve met your basic needs. 3. Cuddling with stuffed animals never hurts. She miiiiight share her friend Bruin with you.
A white husky snuggles on the couch with a stuffed brown bear that’s bigger than she is. You can see a hint of her toasted marshmallow-colored ears, and her light blue eyes are very clear. Half of her face is kind of smushed into her bear, so one eye looks way bigger than the other, and it’s pretty goofy, but very cute.

The background is a gray fabric couch with red and black plaid fleeces covering the cushions, a teal blue throw pillow, and a messy kitchen that we can just collectively ignore, thank you.

Some of you
(11) General Interference with Organizations and Production

(a) Organizations and Conferences (1) Insist on doing everything through “channels.” Never permit short-cuts to be taken in order to expedite decisions.

(2) Make “speeches.” Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your “points” by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make a few appropriate “patriotic” comments.

(3) When possible, refer all matters to committees, for “further study and consideration.” Attempt to make the committees as large as possible—never less than five.

(4) Bring up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible.

(5) Haggle over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions.

(6) Refer back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to re-open the question of the advisability of that decision.

(7) Advocate “caution.” Be “reasonable” and urge your fellow-conferees to be “reasonable” and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later on.

(8) Be worried about the propriety of any decision—raise the question of whether such action as is contemplated lies within the jurisdiction of the group or whether it might conflict with the policy of some higher echelon.

Happy to set up time to body double with anyone that needs to get this done! If you are cis and have money to spare, perhaps check in with the trans people you know to see if they need help paying the fees for new licenses, etc. This is a horrifying time to be trans, but also an expensive one.

Feeling a lot of things, obviously, and needed a break. Aiming for a different emotion feels unrealistic, so I went for a physical sensation - took Nova out on her last business trip in short sleeves. It helped, a little. Are there tools or skills you forget to use, or that have been helping you?

The Chilling Line Trump Just Crossed On Transgender People
With the latest trans military executive order, the administration has given up all pretense of "evidence-based care," and has moved to the kind of dehumanization meant to justify atrocity.

Section 3: This section rescinds policies that rely on WPATH guidance. This section has NO age limit, so this could also apply to adults and could have big impacts on adult care nationwide. It also tells the HHS sec to publish a junk science review that will call trans people "identity-confused"

Everyone should be aware of the line that has been crossed in the Trump trans military EO. No longer is this about "evidence," "science" or "protecting kids." Now, explicitly, black and white, it's about trans people being "liars," "dishonorable," "false." It's a big step towards very bad things.

Also, be aware there will be some people who might be upset that you're not fighting the fight they want you to fight, or fighting it they way they want you to fight it. Be aware that is a "them" problem and not a "you" problem. You know where you can be best useful. Be useful there.

Four new cross stitch FOs: a wolf, a hedgehog mushroom, Nova (my dog), and a nonbinary planet. I don’t know what I’m doing to do with them, but they’re cute! Patterns are from @mathysphere.bsky.social @laselvadesign.bsky.social and WhiteProteaArt, all on Etsy!
A small cross stitch of a gray wolf howling, with a dark blue sky and clouds in the background, stitched on a laser cut wooden circle.A small cross stitch of a red and white spotted mushroom cap on a hedgehog, with a solid color light blue and yellow green background for a sky/grass vibe, stitched on a laser cut wooden circle.A small cross stitch of a dog’s face, originally a pattern for a white German shepherd, but I’ve changed the coloring a bit and added some golden brown around the ears, and added a solid teal background, stitched on a laser cut wooden circle.A small cross stitch of a little planet, with yellow, white, purple, and black stripes to represent the nonbinary pride flag. The background is a dark blue, and the colors of the planet are also scattered around as little single-stitch faraway stars. There’s a faint line of gray backstitching along the bottom outline of the planet, where it was blending into the background. Stitched on a laser cut wooden circle.

The scandal of the Cass Report is that the only harm was the speculation that an affirmed trans child might develop into a healthy trans adult. These medications are safe in all other patients because we know there are no physical ill effects. Being trans at all is what they see as harm.
