Discworld QOTD, from Mort
The only thing known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Wheedle. He reasoned like this: you can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queons -- that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed.

See here's the thing cis people routinely forget about trans people: we have dignity, as a people, despite the regularity with which the world tries to strip it from us. If you spit on me I'm not going to thank you for not kicking me, too. I'm going to tell you to go to hell. It's that simple

translation: telling trans people 'enjoy the camps' is not an actionable form of harassment but multiple people yelling at that person for saying it constitutes harassment and they will be suspended. oh hey look at that, /accidentally/ you've created a ruling which says only the trannies get banned

For context here, a user was responding in a thread to other users (unrelated to the original post) when they used the phrase "Trans rights or Trans camps. You chose the camps and you're blaming Dems" followed by profanity. 

> is this user toxic? undeniably yes. 

Follow
Are they threatening trans users directly? No. Trans folks in the US have been targeted repeatedly. That's awful and you have my sympathy. 

Within the context of a single post we wouldn't consider it a direct threat or targeting a protected category. Ie send trans folks to concentration camps. 

More broadly, does repeatedly attacking someone in a thread count towards harassment? Yes. Harassment is brutally hard to moderate though. It's a combination of behaviour + content, and the second you publish the details of the rules, people change their behaviour to avoid enforcement.

The foot in the door
four frame comic. each frame has the text on top in white. first frame shows jk rowling. second frame shows trump and erdogan in suits doing thumbs up. third shows the istanbul landscape. fourth shows Talarico giving a speech in front of the podium. text reads:
"protecting the children"
has become the foot in the
door of fascism.
last weekend (sept. 12th-13th),
under the pretense of "protecting
the children," trump's turkish
bestie erdogan led a massive
anti-lgbtq crackdown.
in an extraordinary esca-
lation, legal proceedings were
announced against 160 people.
about 50 activists have been
arrested. associations and
homes have been ransacked
across the country.
so when we hear people who
are supposedly our allies use
the same language as erdogan,
we owe it to our turkish
siblings to call it out.

Table Top Transition #comic #transgender #dnd #lgbt #ocs
A voice offscreen says “Welcome to the table! So what kind of character did you make?” Adrian, blushing, replies “Oh, uhh I made a super cool sorcerer. But I made her a girl cause I thought it would be funny to be…er PLAY a girl.”

A more androgynous looking Adrian is poking their fingers together shyly. The offscreen voice says “Huh? You’re gonna play a girl again??” Adrian replies “Y-yeah! I just feel like I can relate more with girl characters! Still cis though…”

Adrian’s, now known as Rylie, friends are all shocked and simultaneously say “You’re gonna play a guy?!” She awkwardly says “Hehe, it’s true. I mean, when you think about it…”

Rylie, now beaming with a big smile says “ I don’t feel like I have to play as a girl, cause being a girl isn’t a fantasy anymore!”

Scottish Labour manifesto is out, don’t vote for them
• Delivering single-sex spaces on the basis of biological sex, in NHS wards, schools, sport and everyday life by upholding the Equality Act and delivering clear instructions to public services on how to comply with their legal obligations to women and to trans people.
• Keeping women's prisons for women, instructing the Scottish Prison Service to remove all biologically male prisoners from women's prisons within days of the election.
• Recommit the NHS to delivering single sex wards on the basis of biological sex, and ensuring patients can request same sex provision wherever possible.

I really can't put this more clearly. If you watch the new Harry Potter series, you are directly funding the genocide of trans people, because that's what Rowling gleefully spends HP revenue on. There's no "death of the author" here, no "there's lots of awful creators." You are funding genocide.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

“All right,” said Susan. “I’m not stupid. You’re saying humans need . . . fantasies to make life bearable.”

I don't think I've come across a poem that taps into my ethos when it comes to navigating queer community within the context of a hostile world as much as "We Have Enough Dead Friends" by Lena Oleanderson. I strive to make my home a sanctuary where other faggots feel safe and cared for.
We Have Enough Dead Friends
By Lena Oleanderson

Come over. The doors are open,
my flat's a mess and
so is my heart
but the doors are always open.
Come over. I will make soup,
probably from frozen but
the important thing is
we will both eat.

You don't have to be dying,
but if you are,
or you feel like you are,
or if living's been hard,
call me, and I will show up.
It doesn't have to be that bad,
it doesn't have to be bad at all,
but if it is, please call.

Do you want me to do the groceries?
Do you want me to mop the floors?
Do you need to be held;
you don't have to be dying to be held.
If you want me to be there, I want to.

I'm on the bathroom floor again,
and breathing is hard,
and eating's been hard, and sleeping,
the world is a laden thing
rolling around on my chest lately.
Just being alive is heavy tonight,
but we have enough dead friends.
Come over.
