im honestly surprised (not really surprised considering what website this is) that i haven't seen anyone on here talk about Lil Nas X getting violently arrested after suffering some kind of mental health episode. I wish he was getting more attention and support.

one of the most infuriating things about the perennial "um but maybe your abusive boyfriend is neurodivergent and that's why he never helps you with anything" shit is that as a disabled trans woman i am NEVER given anywhere near the same benefit of the doubt that abusive men are given.

me needing my partner's help with things is automatically seen as abusive and lazy by others to the point they need to defend me over it.

it's a twin tailed thing of misogyny here because women and especially trans women needing help is seen as demanding and bad and men actively being abusive are coddled and eternally excused. it's fucking vile.

hashtag leftists on their way to excuse your abuser and call a trans woman abusive in the same breath.

in my neighborhood there's an empty plot of land walled off by a fence. philadelphia has a ton of these, they're a staple of certain, usually black neighborhoods but this one always makes my stomach tighten when i pass it. after it rains, a puddle of muddy water collects in a place where kids once played and old people met with their friends. graffiti lines the foundations of what once were homes, inadequate homes but still homes, generational homes, communal homes. two years ago those homes were there. the last holdouts hung graduation signs for their teens and defiantly fanned themselves on hard plastic lawn chairs despite the fence already partially being built and the demolition crew standing idly by. a group of activists built an encampment there to protest the demolition of the homes, local politicians supported the activists and the residents, and yet there would be no victory against the encroaching developers whose plans for affordable housing now feel like an empty promise for a lot that already seemed like an afterthought

when i think of those townhomes i can't help but think of palestinians. children playing in the rubble of their schools, no doubt projecting memories they'd made in those places as they play. i think a lot about teenagers in gaza. not young enough to be seen as total innocents by the west but too old and too experienced with destruction to childishly reject cynicism. there are kids in my city who live like that, but without bombs falling on them. they carry the weight of their families, their bodies a frenzy of anhedonia, resentment, and restlessness. in black philly and in gaza, our enemy is shared. white apathy and supremacy, overlooking our humanity as they seize whatever physical possessions we have whether that is our homes or our bodies.

nader @abdalsalam2000 is a teenager. like all teenagers living under coordinated destruction of their lives, he has had to take it upon himself to fundraise for his family. i've watched his campaign be taken down multiple times. i've seen him through family hunger, illness, displacement, and the destruction of their home. i wish for him what i wish for the kids who live near me: opportunity, hope, and a long life rich with all that makes life worth living. but first, he needs to eat. please give if you can.

"An American Eagle ad with overtly racist undertones tells us that Sydney Sweeney's jeans are great because they're blue like her eyes. Meanwhile a modern-day holocaust happens on the other side of the globe, with images of emaciated babies delivered direct to our phones while our president sets 500 tons of emergency food aid on fire. And Trump signs an executive order making it legal to forcibly institutionalize, detain, imprison, intern, (choose your verb), anyone the regime determines is mentally ill"

- Leeja Miller "The Eugenics Of It All"

"We love to treat it like these are separate things... like there's identity politics and then there's economic politics. Like there's the economy and then there's culture, right? But from a standpoint of understanding anything about disability, anything about disability rights--First and foremost, anybody can become disabled. Anybody can be considered disabled. That's just a reality... In Gaza, bombs are dropped that [amputate] people's limbs. People's limbs are shot by riot police in the United States. People are becoming intentionally disabled. COVID-19, the way that ransacked communities despite the resources being there to prevent that. They can make you disabled."

I know I say that I'm kinda nuts for doing the amount of visual research I do, but at the same time: Specificity is SO much more compelling and real feeling, and imo not getting references often makes things look more amateur.

Eg. drawing a sofa- my mental image of a sofa is something like this:

Like. Its a sofa. It works. But it's not very convincing, the pillows are kinda wrong at the back, and it's not really giving any information about the owner. Even if you want a basic sofa... What kind of basic.

comfy and cheap?

kinda rigid?

inherited? ------

who does this comfy cheap ikea sofa belong to anyway?

guy living alone?

teenage girl?

Grandma?

Anyway I'll get off my soapbox but specificity is sexy and fun and it can do your storytelling for you!

The creator of the lesbian flag, Emily Gwen, is currently unhoused and struggling financially while suffering to chronic and mental illness.

I have already contributed to her Kofi, and now I ask you to help, especially if you have ever used the lesbian flag. Even if you can't donate, I urge you to share her Kofi around to reach more audiences

Lesbians support other lesbians 🧡🤍💗

Non-writers don't understand how much of writing is just googling things like "when was the croissant invented" for worldbuilding reasons and staring off into the distance.
