A piece of subvertising that says airbnboycott
Museum of Homelessness has withdrawn from Open House festival due to the headline sponsor being Air BnB.
Air BnB is complicit in illegal settlements in the West Bank which is all part of the wider pattern of illegal and genocidal land grabs.
This orphaned reply to a long-lost post deserves to be read and remembered.
A spokesperson for the culturally significant British brand told QueerAF that "everyone is welcome" at bra fittings, including "new mothers looking for a nursing bra, teens trying on their first bra, to post-surgery and transgender bra fits."

US Park Police now doing traffic stops in DC, and charged at me with a baton for filming closer than they liked
the single best piece of advice my mother gave me before going off to college - apart from “club soda with a slice of lime looks like a gin and tonic” - was “the minute you meet someone who seems cool, ask them out for coffee immediately. everyone wants friends and is scared to make the first move”

47% of people think immigration is primarily illegal. There were 4% irregular arrivals in March
New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation
If gender is a construct then mine is a jungle gym.
Outrage over Gaza is doused and ignored; outrage over immigration is stoked and naturalised. This is a political choice, and it is one that is being made by the people in the government who are paid money by the taxpayer to manage these sorts of things.
For the love of God, what happened to the British ability to be icily disinterested in nonsense?
Never did I, an American, think that I would be starved for a UK politician showing the traditional British loathing for Americanism.
Starmer licking boot so hard he untied the laces with his tongue
Can white Trans+ people please stop insisting that transphobia is the last remaining acceptable form of bigotry?
Because it very much isn't
One of my favorite things in hopeful sci-fi is when I see an imagined future where the Sahara has been turned into a grassland again.
"The Sahara, which was a desert where the North African Plains are now..."
Once again, if you are pointing to a mob and arguing that their violence is a justification for doing what you want, it’s your mob and your violence.
Yeah, I feel like us white immigrants need to be making a shit tonne of noise on exactly this point. I don't care if you mean "Them". Human beings don't stop being human bc you've decided their race makes them an acceptable Other.
I, too, am an immigrant. I, too, am told “they don’t mean you.” And when they say that, I’m like, “So you admit it’s just racism then.”
We have been warned about this moment for all our lives. Now it's here. What will you do about it?
When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
Part of why I love working with Alasdair's texts is the trust he has in me as a performer. Being given something truly beautiful AND the license to play and explore within it is a fantastic gift.
NEW: An Irish tourist visiting the US was jailed by ICE for 3 months after overstaying 3 days due to medical issue. Thomas agreed to be deported, but instead went to federal prison where he recounted horrific conditions + no medical care.
“Nobody's safe from the system if they get pulled into it"
no, I said I wanted a tradewife. like a union electrician
I know "they just said it, out loud" is old hat at this point, but Jesus Wept, they just keep saying it out loud.
"It's okay for our unaccountable armed and masked secret police to disappear you briefly, as long as you're brown."
They're a month away from, "well, if you're white, don't worry!"
Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com
It is people like Wallace who embed the stigmatisation of autistic individuals. Yes, I can miss social cues, but have amazingly never wandered round work with a sock on my cock.
What he is accused of is not autistic behaviour, it's predatory behaviour.

We've raised $36,000 through this charity bundle so far! Thank you all so much for your incredible support for RAICES and Immigrants Defenders Law Center!
Please don’t ignore this the next time you’re told “it’s either these guys or Reform” coz this is also what Reform would do and you should rail against it no matter what colour the tie is.
From my dad.
"It looks like I'm going to lose my prescription drug coverage and have to start paying a medicare premium. My diabetes drug lists for $1000/month. With the premium and benefits cut from my Medicare another five hundred a month besides the thousand. Kicks in right after the midterms"
Peak social efficiency! 💪🏻
Update on our trip to Alligator Alcatraz. We are being denied access.
Illustrated print- Several upturned face look away from the top of the US capital building. Below, someone stands next to a body of water, pulling endangered people from drowning. The text reads “The government does not care. We, the people, must help each other!”
I look to this piece by Seth Tobocman and keep it to my heart when I need it
