We can learn from our queer elders 🫶🏻

when my masc lesbian aunt died, women just kept coming, screaming, crying, and saying they were her wives. Eventually we just had to start telling them to join the others. They were all devastated to learn about each other. Except for one who came in, kissed her dead mouth and showed us all that they had matching tattoos. She actually won all the mourning wives over and they all agreed she was the wife. It was so weird.Did not expect more than a few people to see this but yes it really happened, yes it was insane

I wish these photos were just family memories. Instead, they show children growing up surrounded by uncertainty, hunger, and fear. A father holding his crying child, trying to comfort her while carrying worries of his own. Please help this family survive. chuffed.org/project/1781...

Can also personally attest that playing Taylor Swift or any other similarly aggressively litigious major label artist through a minirig works a treat.

Ok I need to actually write this full essay that I've had kicking around in my head for years now but: I am fucking sick of trans media and "influencers" only being capable of portraying us as helpless victims, especially at times where we do some solid selfliberatory work

my favorite thing about one of us getting suspended or chased off the internet is that no matter who it is and no matter what the circumstances someone will always show up to tell everyone why the trans woman deserved it and why they’re glad she’s gone all of us. every time. any of us.

bitchy rant about hardcore (queercore) scenes. I'm convinced they're fundamentally based on machismo and macho violence despite their claims to the contrary. Such a minor thing but every gig I go to I see less and less skirts being worn. Seems to be a progression of it in brum

She'd be impressed at how much music I have made and what I've done with it, She'd be disappointed and not understand why I can't be on frontlines of protests any more, or why I dropped out of uni. I was not very kind to myself at 20 and just wouldn't get how i could be as disabled as I am

I wish people who stop being covid cautious would just own the ways it’s a capitulation to ableist authoritarian power in exchange for re-entry into the mainstream. Instead they gotta turn to the few of us still holding the line and say shit like “asking people to mask is the real authoritarianism.”

Supporting DIY networks is something that needs to be done much more within trans circles, but genuinely what work is there we can do when they cancel and bar us from surgeries?

NoBlogs is already back -- not that we should be any less horrified and concerned by its temporary shutdown -- but just noting that zinelibrary.org is autonomous of NoBlogs, and open source from a git repo, so anyone can back it up and restore if it goes down.

WHY IS THE TERM NO LONGER USED BBC YOU EUGENICIST FUCKS
"By the early 1980s, researchers embraced the idea of an autism spectrum, arguing that autistic people could have average - or very high - intelligence.
This new category of autism was known as Asperger's Syndrome after a little-known paper dating back to Austria in the 1940s, but the term is no longer used.
In 2013, ASD became the official diagnosis for all autistic people. But some autism experts think this is too broad.
Dame Uta ignited this debate by arguing that the autistic spectrum has come to its collapse because people included in it have such different needs."

If you want to have interesting people in your social scene you *have* to defend furries. You just have to. Firstly, for their own sake. Secondly, furries are a fundamental part of a robust weirdo ecosystem. If they aren’t welcomed the other more skittish eccentrics will just go elsewhere.

One thing that sticks out to me in all this is how comfortable people are throwing around "nutcase" and "mentally ill" as supposedly discrediting. Like the implication seems to be that if somebody is mentally ill in a way that other people find unpalatable they should have no recourse or voice.
