i just feel like if half of the great britain WBC team is already from the bahamas they should just get to be the bahamas team instead but leave it to GB to colonize their subjects twice
and yes they got it on 4k live tv in the dream, smh
had a dream that it finally happened and woke up so devastated
Announcing the first large event happening at Crow's Nest Comic: TRANS/IT JOY! We'll be running a mini art market featuring local trans artists and raising funds for local trans nonprofits and celebrating the opening of the Judkins Park Link Light Rail station (2 block south of us) on Sunday 3/29!
This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

very sentimental about that bridge, it's the one we always had to cross to get to my grandmother's house <3
ah i love these! is that last one bridge of the gods?
Been working with EnergyTrust of Oregon on a multiyear project about bridges from different parts of the state. The siren song of landscape painting has started to allure me, and i’ve been enjoying the change of pace playing with gouache textures.
In the midst of a retaliatory layoff, ceo Everette Taylor gave a self congratulatory interview to the ny times about the impact of his leadership on kickstarter
If you’re not at kickstart for the right reasons, I don’t want you here he says of his employees who he ran a retaliatory layoffs against after 42 days of striking
Missing the irony entirely, Everette spoke to supporting smaller creators in a difficult economy saying
You get laid off again and again and then you can’t find a job. What else are you going to do to do? I want kickstarter to be a place where we welcome those people
DOO DOO DO DO DO DO DOO DO DOOO DOOO HONK HONK
Absolute clown behavior from Kickstarter leadership.
But you can totally tell him what’s up and that you support Kickstarter United and their efforts by emailing him at e@kickstarter DOT com
This Is some art I’ve made for Decomposer, a graphic novel written by Mason McDonald. The book is well on it’s way to being finished but we’ve set up a Kickstarter to help us complete it. I’d really appreciate if you’d have a look at the page (link below) and consider helping us out. Thanks!

pink text over the image of a beautiful cloudy sunset in the southern US, a line of birds flying over the horizon: introducing my first original graphic novel: GO BACK & GET IT
illustrations of two mixed race sisters, as well as extended family around the text: it's a queer southern black and indigenous soilpunk story about two sisters & their people's relationship with the atlantic and other ancestral bodies of water.
blue text atop another image of a sunset reads: if I had to compare, it's a bit like if all these films had a baby: below: movie posters of DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST, PAPRIKA, AYA OF YOP CITY, SMOKE SIGNALS, and SPIRITED AWAY it's a funny, intense, historical, and fantastical. it's a look at the fight to belong and heal on stolen land, and how to heal the land itself.
a doodle of the artist laid out in exhaustion below thumbnails of 300 pages of completed pencil pages, their hand a smoking a white hot iron the text reads: most of you are here becuase of my lil' humor comics, my political posters, plant / garden work, or my cookbook... this story is where all these passions come together. next up... inks!
before black history (& futures) month ends... here is an intro to what’s been keeping me so busy - my book w @randomhousekids.bsky.social !

"democratizing" a place is just code for "taking over so we can make money"
The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime.
You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.
death to america and israel
I don't say this to scare anyone, I'm saying this because some of you still refuse to acknowledge the world you are fucking living in.
if you are not already distracted by the daily challenges of surviving the US' thirst for blood and profit then congrats you are in the minority
they're already getting away with murder in broad daylight. why on earth would they need distractions to evade justice that our systems refuse to deploy in any timely fashion?
"it's a distraction" = "i don't feel personally affected by this". also we're all one medical emergency away from living on the streets if we aren't already there so who the fuck is even needing more 'distractions' at this point. they aren't distracting you they just want to kill everybody
this song just entered my all-time favorite mitski songs at #1
Do not forget the people of Lebanon either, who have been suffering the "preemptive" bombardment of Israel for well over a year and a half and are suffering it intensified tenfold today
we have a lot of songs about parasocial followers/stalkers these days but this might be the best one
"dead women" by mitski is best songwriting of the year i think
I’m transgender, I live in Kansas, if you want to help rn donate to either the ACLU of Kansas or the ACE foundation in Wichita - the ACE foundation especially is the organization that will help people with money for groceries, rent, etc. More orgs also included in attached img
acefoundationict.org
as long as folks are enthusiastically donating to state level trans orgs today, figured I'd reup this list the @them.us team and I put together a few years back: www.them.us/story/orgs-f...
(some info may be outdated, but use this as a jumping-off point!)
Trans people please read Discourse on Colonialism. Trans existence has always been attacked. Patriarchy, colonialism, and capitalism means we can never exist in a world without trans genocide. It's either destroy capitalism or die, and I don't want to die.
