This is a 5 alarm fire. They're going to pull down all publicly available data, studies, guidance, etc that involves LGBTQ people so when the worst happens to us, no one will know. They're actively trying to erase us.

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it.
It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.
Let’s surface our Trans+ history stories and the learnings from them. And let’s make sure every school has them.

the sin of empathy
Welp, there you have it. The "sin of empathy."
Don't know the original source but so very accurate.

A pair of slug plushies designed to look like spam masubi and tamago nigiri
A snail plushie with a white pumpkin print fabric and a patchwork pumpkin for its shell
As a transmasc living in Florida, the recent news has been kinda driving me batty, especially because I’ve had zero sales this month that could help me out in a year where I’ll prolly have to move at some point ;v; #plush #plushies #signalboost

I believe the general internet tradition on these kinds of things is well known.

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

If You Interact with ICE Agents at Work: Ask if you are free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk out. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you are a citizen, or how you entered the country. If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. Never provide fake documents. If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere.
If ICE Agents Show Up at Your Door You do not have to open the door. If you do, stay calm – you have rights. Ask what they are there for (and ask for an interpreter if you need one). If they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge and if so, ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door). If they do not have a warrant signed by a judge, you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door. If they force their way in, do not resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent. If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer.
Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Lugar de Trabajo Pregunte si puedes marcharse. De ser así, salga tranquilamente. Tú tienes derecho a no prestar consentimiento a una búsqueda. Diga en voz alta que no consientes a que registren tus pertenencias. Tú tienes derecho a guardar silencio. No tienes que discutir tu estatus migratorio con nadie, ni dónde naciste, ni si eres ciudadano, ni cómo entraste al país. Si tienes documentos de inmigración válidos, deberías mostrarlos. Nunca presente documentos falsos. Si eres arrestado, diga que quieres permanecer en silencio hasta que hables con un abogado. Tú tienes el derecho a grabar su interacción con los agentes de inmigración, siempre y cuando no interfiera.
Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Puerta No abras la puerta, pero mantén la calma. Tú tienes derechos. Pregunta para qué están ahí (y solicita un intérprete si necesitas uno). Si piden entrar a tu casa, pregúntales si tienen una orden firmada por un juez y si la tienen, diles que te la muestren (por la ventana o que la pasen por debajo de la puerta). Si ellos no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, puedes negarte dejarlos entrar. Pídeles que dejen cualquier información en tu puerta. Si entran a la fuerza, no te resistas. Dile a todos que estén en la casa que permanezcan en silencio. Si eres arrestado, permanece en silencio y no firmes nada hasta que hables con un abogado.
Regardless of your immigration status in the U.S., you have guaranteed rights under the Constitution. Know your rights and assert them.
Independientemente de su estatus migratorio en los Estados Unidos, usted tiene derechos garantizados por la Constitución. Conozca sus derechos y hágalos valer.

It’s starting to become clear to me that a lot of people who said “I wouldn’t have let the Holocaust happen” would have 100% let the Holocaust happen.
I was trying to upload some of my short animations, but the audio is so choppy it's unwatchable. This only happens on bsky. Anyone know why, or how I can fix it?
I know this sentiment is well shared, but every once in a while I think about how beautifully powerful and inspiring these paintings are.
If you happen to renew your passport successfully and manage to change your gender marker, please for the love of god don't post about it online.

You don't cozy up to power
You speak prophetic truth to those who have power when you have the mic
You use your voice and position to demand moral reckoning, safety, care, love, protection.
YOU. TAKE. RISKS.
It's your damn job.

I'm excited to paint a clay mushroom guy I made with my friend the other day! Waiting for it to dry. He's janky and perfectly bad, and he's going on my art desk when I reorganize
Remember to log off sometimes. You can't rage post for four years straight without losing your mind

I am not a man.
Evan Urquhart is not a woman.
No matter what Trump's government said.
So much of what Trump wants to do targeting trans people will depend on cisgender people to enforce his policies and police our bodies and spaces we exist in.
So much can be stopped by people refusing to do so.
In Texas there's a cow named Tornado
