Golden Age Superman stands head to thigh alone in a panel black at the top and red on the bottom where Superman stands pointing at the reader as he says, "Be wary of unscrupulous operators of gambling games--they are always on the look out for unsuspecting victims."

thanks for the response!

“How many of these gentle people have I helped to kill just by paying my taxes?" June Jordan, 1984

She explained that a family cannot argue bias until they have first overturned an existing official classification; a high bar, made higher by the investigative failures that produced the classification in the first place. “It’s like taking a bad photograph,” Jefferson said, recounting what an FBI agent once told her. “If you mess it up in the beginning, there’s really no way to go back and fix it.” The landscape these claims enter is genuinely complicated. A 2025 commentary in Mental Health Science by researchers at George Washington University found that 59 percent of Black transgender and nonbinary youth reported active suicidal ideation in 2023, and 26 percent reported a past-year attempt — rates significantly higher than among their cisgender Black LGBTQ+ peers. The authors link these disparities to compounding stressors like racism, discrimination, anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, violence, and inadequate mental health infrastructure for this population. Jefferson does not dispute any of that. Her argument is narrower: that documented vulnerability should not be used as a substitute for actual investigation. “You still have the situation where there is this deliberate effort to find another reason, other than the obvious

What this means that the disproportionately high rates of violence trans women, particularly trans women of colour, particularly Black trans women experience, are still very much under-reported and under-estimated.

“Back in the day, a lynching was called a suicide with a wink and a smile... In the present day, they’re still called suicides. But now people take that seriously.”

Why do you think they ask “should biological males play sports with girls?” The second you add any context or nuance to trans healthcare people go “wait, really?” But there’s a media narrative out there designed not to do that.

In the Hall I do hear that the Catholiques are in great hopes for all this, and do set hard upon the King to get Indulgence.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: WE HAVE BEEN RAISING FUNDS FOR A TRANS SEX WORKER OF COLOR WHO IS AT RISK OF LOSING CUSTODY OF THEIR CHILDREN. THEIR TRIAL DATE HAS SINCE BEEN RESCHEDULED TO THE SPRING. WHILE THEIR LAWYERS REMAIN CONFIDENT THAT THEY CAN WIN THIS DISCRIMINATORY CASE, FUNDS ARE NOW NEEDED BY JUNE 2026. PLEASE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THIS INCREDIBLE PILLAR OF OUR COMMUNITY! GOAL: $50,000 GOFUNDME GOFUND.ME/HELP-KEEP-FAMILY-TOGETHER-URGENT VENMO CARTA-MONIR CASHAPP $CARTAMONIR SEND DONATIONS WITH A HEART EMOJI TO ENSURE FUNDS ARE REDIRECTED TO THIS SWER

WE ARE RAISING FUNDS FOR A BELOVED COMMUNITY MEMBER; A TRANS SEX WORKER OF COLOR WHO IS AT RISK OF LOSING CUSTODY OF THEIR CHILDREN. FOR THEIR SAFETY AND PRIVACY THEY MUST REMAIN ANONYMOUS, BUT THIS IS A PILLAR OF OUR COMMUNITY, LOVED AND VERIFIED BY THOSE OF US RUNNING THIS FUNDRAISER. OUR FRIEND IS FACING A TRIAL IN JUNE REGARDING THE CUSTODY OF THEIR YOUNG CHILDREN. THE CASE AGAINST THEM IS BASED ON THE FACT THAT THEIR PRIMARY FORM OF INCOME IS SEX WORK. NOTABLY, THE JUDGE OF THE INITIAL CUSTODY ARRANGEMENT RULED THAT THEIR JOB WAS NOT REASON ENOUGH TO RESTRICT THEIR PARENTING TIME YEARS AGO. BECAUSE OF THIS PRECEDENT, THEIR LAWYER FEELS VERY CONFIDENT THEY WILL WIN THEIR UPCOMING CASE.

TO DEFEND THEIR RIGHTS TO PARENT THEIR OWN CHILDREN, OUR FRIEND NEEDS TO RAISE $75,000 BY JUNE 2026. THIS STAGGERING AMOUNT OF MONEY REQUIRED BY THE COURT TO COVER THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH A TWO DAY TRIAL (LAWYERS FEES, EXPERT WITNESSES, THE COURT REPORTER, DEPOSITIONS, CREATION OF TRIAL BINDERS, THE LIST GOES ON). IF THEY CANNOT SECURE THESE FUNDS BY THE JUNE DEADLINE, THEY WILL BE FORCED TO SETTLE, RESULTING IN SEVERELY REDUCED INTERACTION WITH THEIR CHILDREN. WE OBVIOUSLY DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN. OUR FRIEND HAS PROVIDED FOR THEMSELF AND THEIR CHILDREN FOR YEARS, FIGHTING THEIR CUSTODY BATTLE IN PRIVATE WHILE CONTINUING TO BE AN INCREDIBLE PARENT, FRIEND, AND EDUCATOR. THEY CAN NO LONGER FACE THIS BY THEMSELVES, WHICH IS WHY WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

IN OUR CURRENT POLITICAL CLIMATE, WE KNOW THAT OUR FRIEND'S SITUATION IS ESPECIALLY PRECARIOUS. THIS IS A CRUCIAL MOMENT TO SHOW SOLIDARITY WITH A COMMUNITY MEMBER WHO NEEDS IT MORE THAN EVER.

I am still fundraising for an anonymous friend, who is a trans sex worker and POC. They are at risk of losing custody of their children. Please, please donate. This is a situation that is painful and scary beyond description.

UPDATE - WE NOW HAVE UNTIL JUNE 1ST

The Dad Rock That Made Me A Woman, Niko Stratis

the debut book of @nikostratis.com did what no other has done and made me cry one chapter in. it made me feel enraged, nostalgic, seen, and most of all it made me cherish life a little more.

this book is a lot of things but "millenial tgirl answer to stone butch blues" would be my elevator pitch.

if i was born a little earlier i wouldve had to do the same and stick to the story to even have a shot at transitioning, let alone as early as i did

this shit drives me up a fucking wall, i had to make up out of whole cloth/exaggerate (its complicated) an attraction to men just to be able to even remotely understand what the fuck was going on with me before i had the language to understand myself as a trans woman

I fear Palestine just showed the ruling class they do not need to manufacture consent anymore. The anti imperialist movement in this country is too primitive and fragmented to be effective right now in a meaningful sense - in a way that actually stops the bloodshed

himedanshi are mostly not actually men

girl im so prolepilled. im workingclassmaxxing.

had a conversation at work today where the least awkward thing i could do was to out myself as a trans woman. went over surprisingly well!

JD VANCE (quoteposting goon left graduate @MishimaFortnite): You’re opposed to *checks notes* securing a future for children just because theyre white? Uh that’s the not the flex you think it is champ. I would simply support it because I’m a decent fucking human being.
