FYI to trans people:
HRT Cafe has apparently shut down after too much media attention.
Please, take advice from an old trans woman:
Take those discussions underground. All of them. Anything that discusses what we need to survive & where to get it. Word of mouth and private forums only!
it's good if even for the moment people are saying what is true and has always been true. but how grim that it had to be on the precipice of the total collapse of the art ecosystem. couldn't do it any sooner. no one could be brave, and anyone who tried ate the excommunication too.
weak shit.
great that folks are finally getting there but i'm not holding my breath. if we get to the other side of this and the internet is somehow still useable, it's right back to treating taboo subjects as grounds for social harassment campaigns.
i don't mean to balk at the solidarity, i'm just bitter.
with people just now figuring out that callout posts for "draws the wrong type of art" is fascist shit, i admit i feel a bit salty.
like... so we did basically two decades of that to people and now it's not okay. banished hundreds of generational talents from the fandom until it was inconvenient.
Hey, folks! I currently have found myself in a really bad spot. I was just the victim of a towing scam and it was a massive blow to us financially. The text below shows the story in full.
I'm holding a Goal on Ko F i in hopes of getting some help with this. (more below)
It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke.
This is not a joke.
We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.

Partner's parents are still refusing to grant any sort of visitation with my daughter on their property, so I may have to start hunting for legal aid.
I'm hoping I can do this at no cost, but I'd like to make sure, that if needed, I have other options.
Please help

I think about this a lot.
yessir this is the Disruptiano tactic and its ironically something even right wing libertarians get correct occasionally
big firm lobbies government to implement laws and regulations that are impossible for smaller competitors to comply with but trivial for the monopolist
We took her to another radiation treatment today.
The pathology report came back, it's non-small cell cancer.
Dr. said it responds better to immunotherapy than small cell, but it probably won't respond as well to chemotherapy as small cell.
These pieces of shit would poison all of the Earth's air if they could sell breathing as a service. Fucking hell
This isn't being mean. This is me understanding something that I've known for a while has gotten worse: a lack of empathy towards plight of the disadvantaged is dangerous and deadly. People have died already, and more will. It is not the fault of the people working with those disadvantaged.
I can't think of a program so insidious as to what happens under Conservative government. At this stage, if you support them, you lack good sense and moral character. You lack integrity. I would seriously sit down and assess your position on life, as it's fundamentally flawed.
There's a point where individuals willfully ignore factual information for what-ifs and implausible scenarios to fuel their delusions, even to the point where innocent people are grabbed off the street and trafficked without due process or cause. Conservatives are delusional.
I've learned in the last 20 years that people in positions of power tend to lie when they are found to be incorrect, and will use misinformation to validate continuing in their position.
Conservatives are absolutely rife with this. They lack much factual ground to stand on.
A tumblr post from orteil42 (cookie clicker dev) that says: am i losing the drive to create things for an increasingly alien and hostile world whose mounting taste for fascism feels like a cold metal vise around my skull or am i just lazy and unmedicated and looking for excuses
Sorry for the lack of activity it’s literally just this
I've updated my fundraiser. I started it before the date I was forced to leave, so the information was a little out of date.
I've re-written the intro, and I hope that there's a better idea now of what happened, and what I'm using the funding for.

Respectfully, eat shit. Those kids were expelled, arrested, and targeted relentlessly by their school administrations with the specific goal of preventing further protest. Eighteen year old kids were held down and maced by campus security, hit point blank with tear gas canisters by riot cops.
if sex negative weirdos hate porn just WAIT until they find out about boyscouts 💀
just a heads up, that article going around about the FDA and a 'registry of trans women' comes from The Needle 'News', who have a track record of sensationalist and inflammatory reporting, take anything they say with a grain of salt until someone else backs it up
Tomorrow marks 2 weeks after losing my day job.
I hadn't mentioned it for this long bc my first instinct was bring it up in DMs to most of the closet people in my life - see, what help I could find.
I'll explain more in the rest of this thread.
TL:DR I'm now trying to draw to keep afloat (...)
Please help a friend out.
If you could give them some of your time, it's greatly appreciated

China decriminalised homosexuality way before murica, & still provides trans healthcare/follows science unlike whatever theocratic pseudoscientic nonesense some western countries are doing now
Apologizing for voting Trump is meaningless. Sorries are meaningless. I don't care if you were tricked you became a Nazi. You now carry that for the rest of your life. All that's left is to atone. Now that you know better, do better.
