reminders for today:

if you or someone you know might need it in the next few years, purchase plan b. the shelf life of plan b is 4 years, and we might not be able to access it as easily as we can now in the days ahead.

if you are larger/plus size: go online and purchase ella instead of plan b. plan b is less effective if you aren’t under 160 pounds.

if you can, purchase books that project 2025 is looking to ban.

mass deportations are starting. if you see ice vehicles or agents, yell ice raid and la migra as loud as you can.

if someone asks who you voted for, keep your mouth shut. they’re fishing for traitors.

if anyone, anyone at all asks about your neighbors or their legal status in the us, you know nothing. don’t be the reason that their family is separated.

if anyone asks about your religion or lack thereof, keep it vague. this administration will look for any excuse to persecute you.

your friends are trans or queer? for the next four years they’re not. don’t expose anyone’s status as a trans or queer person to anyone else, even if you think you can trust them.

did someone you know get an abortion? no, they didn’t. they were never pregnant.

in short, don’t be a snitch, and keep to yourself these next four years. we’ll make it through this even if it seems hopeless at times.

we can survive this. we’ve survived before, and we’ll survive again.

Trump just declared that there are only 2 genders, so this is your reminder to get WEIRDER and QUEERER gang

[grandpa-spooks]

Ain’t no way Trump just said the government would establish two genders: male and female, in his inauguration speech, and people are still trying to say that queer folks have no need to be scared 😭 fucking losing it

[mothstiel]

it’s gonna be an official policy to only have two genders. an official fucking policy preventing basic recognition of thousands of queer people living here. this is fucking insane.

but most importantly, we persevere. we show trump that we’re never going away or being suppressed. don’t let him push us around.

nbc news interviewed an "expert, who asked not to be named to speak candidly about the executive order" who (among other important things) said the following:

The lawyer also said transgender Americans — especially those who have X as their gender marker on federal documents like passports — should exercise caution when they leave the country, as they could have challenges re-entering the United States and could even be held in detention by border agents.

If a Customs and Border agent can't enter a person's X gender marker into the system to allow the person back into the United States, that could mean the person would remain in Customs and Border Protection custody "until they can work with the Department of State to get an alternate ID issued," the lawyer said.

Guys trump made everyone female???? Somehow???? Which means straight people don’t exist I guess???? This administration shares one brain cell that just did apoptosis. So um I guess everyone is either aspec or a lesbian? Idk I’m trying to laugh so I don’t cry.

Have a restful evening babes! Take a nice bath, read a cozy book, have a sweet treat, this is going to be a difficult road ahead and we need to take care of ourselves.

[guzhufuren]

Our world shall be more open and equal. All of us shall have the freedom to be ourselves and express our love. Marriage shall be accepted both socially and legally regardless of our gender.

Love is far beyond definition. It should not be restricted.

The law comes into effect today January 23, 2025

Some things to remember on this monday afternoon for us Americans:

if you see ICE, say ICE. it’s not illegal unless you try to physically stop them

trans folks, if you can, stock pile your HRT and if you haven’t already update all documents with name and gender changes

make sure you have your passport and important paperwork ready to go in case of emergencies

don’t isolate, just because the world shit doesn’t mean you don’t have people who care around you.

read more, whether it be the news, fiction, nonfiction… whatever. reading helps distract but it also reflects current society and can show us signs that we should no avoid in order to prevent fascism.

help the homeless and disadvantaged

do what you can, but if your mental or physical health is going to be impacted, prioritize yourself.

it’s so important to stick together as a community and help each other as much as possible. i’d say it’s only 4 years but the future is uncertain and we don’t know if it’s going to get better or worse. As long as we have each other we will be okay. Stay safe

My grandfather is gay, when I visit him I like to go through his photos to scan and preserve them. This is from somewhere in the 70s.

[redmyeyes]

At its heart, it was a book about the psychology of these two people looking for connection. Luca says, “this is ultimately not a story of unrequited love, but a story of unsynchronized love.” Much of the movie is the two of them trying to get in sync, but finding it very difficult for their own reasons. And what’s preventing it, is entirely within themselves.

Since coming out and getting on tumblr and all that I've come across so much art, stories, and pics that have been crazy heartwarming. All of the stuff you amazing folks put out there has made one thing extremely clear to me:

I am not alone.

The sense of strength and community here fills me with so much more hope than I could have ever dreamed of having, and every new post I see adds another brick to the growing monument of compassion that we are sharing with the world.

The more visible we are, the stronger we will be.

One of those projects that never fails to immediately make me melt is Twig by @welldrawnfish. Please please please take a stroll to her page if you somehow haven't already as she's an absolute rock star and amazing artist and is yet another one of the folks here who make me want to work harder.

I have a fantastically large amount of flaws in my drawing, and I reinforced all of those flaws for twelve years while I was making my old comic. Once Corpse Run ended, I kind of fell off the wagon and other than doodling from time to time, I didn't really draw for two years.

As it turns out, that might have been the best thing for me. I feel like I've been able to reset and unlearn bad habits.

I still have bad habits though!

BUT I'M WORKING ON THEM.

I'm not going to be able to do it every day due to work, but I've really enjoyed drawing just for the fun of it, no schedule, no deadline, no "need"... just fun.

Twig... Twig is fun. So today I wanted to sketch some Twig fan art.

So thank you to @welldrawnfish for creating this amazing character that resonates with so many, and thank you to this community for inspiring me to become a better artist. I want to keep working and growing with all of you, and I want to make our monument of compassion so grand that we remind the world that we are just as beautiful and worthy of living our lives as everyone else.
