What happens when you defend a drag show from the armed transphobes who threatened to murder attendees? In Texas, first you get arrested on bullshit charges, then a "Christian fascist fraternity" sues you for violating their "right" to attack drag queens and their fans. When two people facing this situation contacted the International Anti-Facist Defence Fund, we stepped in to help them with their legal costs, because we have the backs of anyone willing to protect people from transphobic violence. You should too, here's how:
Chris' crowdfunder
Aeshna's crowdfunder
If you also think that having a standing fund to come to the aid of anti-fascists in emergency situations like this = a good idea, you should contribute to that fund right here!

A thought about the John Wick universe rattling around my head like a bean in a jar:
Everyone who meets john wick is in some ways immediately in love with him. Every movie introduces new characters who greet this isolated, self-contained man (who barely says a word) with gentle joy at their reunion, even if - especially if - they’re there to kill him. Immediate loyalty and affection. Oh John I was so sorry to hear about your recent loss. Even sorrier to have to kill you. No one regrets more than I due to the love and loyalty I bear you. Please, how might I assist you, just say the word. Let me break all the rules just to lay my cloak at your feet. It will blow my entire life up irrevocably to help you - but you do need help and we go way back and you’re looking at me with your big brown eyes, so like I will definitely do that for you baby. More than one enemy pauses mid-fight to allow him a respectful breather, just thrilled to do so. All this while the movie denies us ANY FLASHBACKS AT ALL to his previous encounters with any of these people. Closest we get is the pencil anecdote? I think? A veil has been delicately drawn over his past that inspired such devotion, but as a viewer you are 100% convinced the love is REAL. They do go way back and it must have been quite a time. Even ‘antagonists’ who hold the role of smug pre-dead guy are all ‘oh John you’re just so gosh darn impressive, I tell all my friends about how great you are, genuinely honoured to be murdered by you’. And you know what, that’s fair.

3-ingredient peanut butter cookies
hey, don't cry. combine one cup peanut (or almond or whatever) butter, one cup sugar, one egg, all right? roll into 1-inch balls, place on cookie sheet, press with a fork to make criss-cross pattern, and bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes, okay?
