Babies don’t forget there’s an Etsy boycott from April 11-18 to protest the higher service fees recently instated for shop owners despite the fact that the company reported record profits last year. Etsy is usually one of my go-tos but I am absolutely going to stay off for the week. Without its vendors (many of whom are independent artists/creators) Etsy is literally nothing, and if these new policies are undermining their ability to stay on the site without risking their financial stability then they 100% deserve our support. No Etsy this week!!!

IMPORTANT THREAD - PLEASE SHARE!!!

"to parents of trans kids across the country, if i can recommend one thing to work on today (besides hugging your babies harder than ever) it's to start building a "safe folder"

a safe folder contains important items like your child's medical and legal records (vaccination records, court documents/passports/etc showing their legal name if it's been changed).

also include letters from trusted people like neighbors, your child's principal, clergy, etc that talk about what a wonderful parent you are.

photos (including self portraits your children have drawn!) that document your trans child's transition are also helpful. if you have a social media account & are considering deleting, download all your pics and posts first to use as evidence of their persistent gender identity.

one year my son drew me the LOVELIEST mother's day card. he told me how much he loved me & how safe he felt when he was with me. the 1st thing i thought was "this is the sweetest thing he's ever made me." the 2nd (heartbreaking) thing i thought is "this goes in the safe folder."

include report cards, too. medals/awards that they've earned from their accomplishments.

i pray you will never need to rely on your safe folder. but if someone calls CPS on you for doing nothing more than loving your transgender child and supporting them in the ways that they need, then you have evidence to back you up that YOU ARE A GOOD PARENT.

it will be okay. hug your babies, vote these douchecanoes out of office, and stay strong. love you."

Update: response from the ACLU

[empressofstrongstyle]

i just looked in the tags and couldn’t find any posts about this, so i’ll make one myself:

yoon suk-yeol just won the presidential election in south korea. he ran on a platform of “feminism is a hate group that’s ruining south korea” and “men are oppressed by women” and featured campaign promises like abolishing the ministry of gender equality and family, abolishing the minimum wage and setting a 120 hour workweek for the working poor, getting rid of all food safety standards, and much more. his entire campaign focused on appealing to south korea’s rising incel movement, his nickname is literally “k-trump,” and he just won.

women and minorities in south korea are going to die because of this guy’s policies. here’s a thread by a south korean woman with more information.

it’s horrific and i fear to see how this will impact russian people (or, let’s be more real, slavic people in general), but it’s also patheticomic how orgs are desperate to have a stance on the conflict so they’ll do dumb shit like remove/change even tangentially russian things

ryanloco: Welcome back, Mox

[empressofstrongstyle]

I'm glad to see Mox is back. I hope he is in a better headspace that he feels is healthy for him.

And if he takes a step back, I hope the fanbase understands that progress isn't linear and he still deserves love and support in those times as well.
