Hey so, I still do art and original posting, just not as much anymore-- I've been doing a lot more stuff that hasn't been posted on here and I never left tumblr tbh. That's been my main.

Terrible news in South Carolina. An appropriations bill forced Medical University of South Carolina to shut down its gender clinic for trans youth.
States are going after hospital funding to close clinics nationally.
Today 5 community activists were arrested for protesting Atlanta's new "Cop City" with tree sits, forest blockades, and allegedly throwing rocks at police.
They're being charged with domestic terrorism.
Here's why all activists need to be paying attention:
Peruvian artist Flora Meneses has painted the indigenous woman in Andahuaylas, Peru, that faced down a military helicopter with a slingshot.
Peru's new coup regime killed 3 protesters that day in her town.
This is probably gonna get flattened in the already tiring AI discourse going on but I think it’s worth focusing on what Miyazaki actually took offense with here—not the technology, but the intent behind it. It’s further compounded by the silence that followed Suzuki’s question
New NORC survey shows people SUPPORT transgender rights by a large margin!
People oppose LGBQT+ discrimination at +56%
People oppose conversion therapy at +25%
People support the right to gender affirming care for trans youth at +21% (!!!)
STOP care bans for trans people!
One of the worst trans bills I've ever seen just dropped.
South Carolina proposes ADULT trans ban (up to 21yo), END to informed consent HRT, RETURN to the old gatekeeper model with psychiatrists for ALL trans adults.

No other word for this than a targeted attack on the most vulnerable in society. paired with the recent push to try and kill disabled people, hard not to see the turn towards genocide canada has been making
Cambria Harris speaks to media in Ottawa this morn-she’s daughter of Morgan Harris, taken by the serial killer in Winnipeg who murdered 4 Indigenous women.
‘Police have failed us time & time again…your government started this genocide. Now it’s your turn 2 help us end it’
At the request of elders we will now refer to the unidentified Indigenous woman murdered by the serial killer in Winnipeg as ‘Buffalo Woman’ instead of unidentified woman. Until her name is found, we honour her.

This is what’s up, the reality in America today. And we desperately need a mobilization of civil society against this rapid spread of reactionary violence and fascistic aggression against LGBTQ people, against some of the country’s most vulnerable groups. We need it fast.
A bill has been prefiled in South Carolina, S243, which will medically detransition all trans youth in the state. Full legislation language is pending, but those in South Carolina must organize now to prepare for the fight for trans youth.
TW MMIW: I need folks to understand even a fraction of how terrifying it is to be an Indigenous woman today. We are targeted CONSTANTLY. The first time I was sexually harassed, I was a child. I hadn’t yet hit double digits. We are at risk literally every day we leave our homes.
Minneapolis has signed a safe haven bill protecting trans refugees. It also protects citizens of Minneapolis if the state ever passes a gender affirming care ban. It protects the rights of Minneapolis trans people to obtain their healthcare without fear of imprisonment.
