It is so weird when younger people think that getting older means ceasing social participation

This is also why so many of you fear aging. You think that you will be forced away from life and society

CALL YOUR REPS & tell them NO banning books. Period. Ever. This bill will remove ALL trans content from public libraries in the name of keeping kids "safe" from every having to know we exist. Another part of this regime's push to kill all trans people by criminalizing our existence.

We've had a day to pull a few things together, so here's a thread some more targeted info opposing the potential national book ban just proposed in the House of Representatives.

Cover of the book Name Her Holy on an eReader. Tropes called out are-

Trans fem Valkyrie 
Found family
A dead god rising from the grave, nbd
Chronically ill chosen one
Oath swearing as a lesbian love language
Slowest of slowburns

Cover art: 

Book cover art for Name Her Holy by Aubrey Ennis. The cover has two women standing against a starry twilight background with a pale sun. At the forefront Kye stands facing forward, one hand held up with a cold flame and billowing black smoke. She is wearing dark purple robes with a high color and gold accents. She has dark wavy brown hair that comes to her chin, tan skin covered in light scars, and pale gray eyes. Behind her Jude stands in profile, a head taller than Kye. She is in leather armor stamped with meadow floral designs, holding a golden sword etched with light oak leaves. Jude is white, has long auburn hair in a braid with an undercut at the sides. She has a long scar across her nose and freckles on her cheeks. The sun rises behind her. A border of flowers and stars creates an arch above them with a deep purple background.

An orange leafy background with a blue thread of wool passing over it, as well as the occasional autumn leaves. In the centre is the cover for Common Bonds 2 (two friends knitting a sweater within a frame of autumnal leaves).

The image shows a rectangular Roman dice tower (turricula) made of four copper alloy (bronze) plates with punched cut-out Latin letters and cut-out decorative patterns. At the bottom front is a stepped exit chute with small bronze bells attached to the opening. The tower is a Roman anti-cheating device. It has an open top and is hollow inside except for three staggered, downward-sloping plates, designed to randomize dice as they fall, ensuring unpredictable dice rolls. When the dice rolled out of the exit chute they rang the bells!  There is a decorative dolphin either side of the stepped exit chute. The top of the front plate has two decorative pine cone finials. Height 25 cm. There is a single die shown next to the stepped base to illustrate how it was used. 

The front  inscription reads:
PICTOS VICTOS
HOSTIS DELETA
LVDITE SECVRI

Translated as: ‘The Picts defeated, the enemy has been destroyed, play in safety’.

Around the top of the three remaining sides, a second inscription made with cut out letters reads:

‘UTERI/FELIX/VIVAS’ translated as ‘Use happily; may you live well’.

Found at a Roman villa at Froitzheim in Germany in 1985.

Roman anti-cheating gaming accessory!

This Roman ‘turricula’ (dice tower) was used to ensure a fair roll of the dice! 🎲🎲🎲

Dice dropped into the top, tumbled over sloping internal levels, and appeared randomly below.

From Froitzheim, Germany, AD 300-400

I captured the March 3rd, 2026, lunar eclipse. The night was clear until shortly before totality, then clouds rolled in. However, there were brief breaks in the clouds, and I was able to get a few shots. 😄

The Hectic Love Lives of the Mythical Medusa, a vampire, a werewolf, a demon, a faerie and a mermaid walk into a bar...wait...that’s not the start of a joke! This queer bunch is actually part of awesome tales about their chaotic love live...

So um, we know everything is horrifying right now but we are trying to put a comics anthology of queer romance stories out in the world & we could use your help to get it funded 👉👈

It has some amazing creators involved too so check it out if you feel like it💖
