With GoFundMe arbitrarily shutting down Gazan campaigns, my friend Anas @dr-anas96 has created a Chuffed campaign.

For those who don't know, Anas is a medical student who is currently trapped in Gaza, but doing everything in his power with his knowledge as a doctor to support his community and keep them safe.

He fell ill with gastric cancer and his fundraiser money is his sole lifeline in order to afford medicine and feed his starving family.

More about Anas here and here. Read his own words in the intro to his Chuffed campaign as well.

White girls need to drop the AAVE and bring back "AS IF!!! 😒" and "GET IT TOGETHER" like y'all were eating in the 2000s!

A popular artist suddenly made a trans man comic, and the viewers are not getting it

Being against a trans man's transition because you think it's too boring is transphobic, actually.

[vtori73]

I made this comic bc I’ve been seeing way too many people say bad stuff about amab/afab trans people lately and I hope this helps some of you who didn’t understand understand so we can get back to trying to help eachother and not tear eachother down.

Intersex folks feel free to add onto this however you see fit you all are wonderful people and I love you!

SOMERSET - A local family is catching heat after throwing a birthday bash for their daughter last weekend featuring a piñata shaped like a police officer. The party, held at a public park, was going smoothly until the kids lined up to take swings at “Officer Snickers,” a papier-mâché patrolman stuffed with candy and what appeared to be citations for bad attitudes. “We just thought it was funny,” said the girl’s father, Randy Gillis, a lifelong Democrat. “She wanted a piñata and said ‘make it someone with authority.’ I blame Paw Patrol.”

I see nothing wrong with this.

It's high time we stopped tolerating anti-nonbinary transphobia in the name of fighting transmisogyny.

While it is important that we hold transmisogynists accountable regardless of their identity, the existence of specific transmisogynistic nonbinary individuals has been used to excuse rampant exorsexism towards the rest of the community.

If you use “theyfab”, you are a transphobe, regardless of if you are trans yourself. No, you are not “fighting back against a specific kind of nonbinary person”, you are a bigot who is using them as justification to hurt the rest of us.

If you use “theyfab”,  you clearly see nonbinary people who were afab the same way you see cis girls. You go out of your way to draw attention to their genitals and ASAB in an attempt to deny and dilute their trans identity so they can fit neatly in the same category as your oppressor.

If you use “theyfab”, you erase the existence of nonbinary people who were amab, or place them in a separate category as those who were afab. You should not be treating nonbinary people differently based on what you assume their ASAB to be.

Theyfab was not created by trans women as some pseudo-transfemminist weapon to call out transmisogynistic nonbinary people. It came straight from 4chan, and you have no right to use it to hurt people. Theyfab is just putting a new spin on the word TIF, or trans-identified-female, and claiming that any trans person can "weaponize their birth sex" is a tactic ripped straight from the terf handbook.

I have seen this perpetuated by trans women, trans men, and even a handful of self-loathing nonbinary individuals who were willing to turn their backs on the rest of us to earn the approval of exorsexists. Unlearn your internalized transphobia, and stop hiding behind your identity. We are all capable of bigotry, and it’s time to show support for the ENTIRE trans community.

One day I want to be far away from my family, I might even go no contact, they deserve it but I don't know if I want to go full no contact or just mostly no contact. They could care less about me or mental or physical health, I hate them very much for it. The kicker is they like to pretend like they do but only when it is not inconvenient for them to do so but they honestly could care less otherwise. And the fact that they love to put words in my mouth/project their own meanings onto what I say and do, that's not normal, that's not okay. Or that my emotions are policed, berated, ridiculed, etc constantly, cant have any sort of emotion too extreme for it is weird or wrong to these fuckers just because they would be emotionally constipated.

By now, you all must have seen the news that Gaza had officially run out of food, as one of the main aid suppliers in Gaza, World Food Program, had announced that their stock has been completely depleted, leaving just a few days for community kitchens to function.

This comes after more than 50 days (and counting) of Israel's complete closure of the borders, preventing food and medicine, among other life essentials, from entering Gaza. There are children crying out of hunger with trucks loaded with over 100,000 tons of food mere minutes away from them, which Israel continues to prevent from entering besieged Gaza.

This also comes after Israel had deliberately destroyed swaths of farmlands in Gaza, specifically targeting them with bombs and chemical weapons that destroy the chance of growing crops. Israel also made sure bakeries are destroyed as well as water sources.

Diabolical is an understatement when it comes to the Zionist entity.

There are still things you can do. On top of raising awareness and protesting when possible, independent organisations like APN are working directly with farmers in Gaza to rehabilitate the agricultural sector and restore local food systems to combat famine, counter the blockade and build food sovereignty. You can donate to their Revive Gaza's Farmlands initiative here.

Additionally, keep in mind that this means whatever food supplies remain available in Gaza now costs astronomical amounts of money, so keep sharing and donating to individual fundraising campaigns. Gazafunds is a good source if you're not sure where to start. Remember that your donations and shares are often the only source of hope for these families.

you cannot talk about the homophobic murder of jonathan joss without including in the conversation that he is indigenous.

american indian men are at the 2nd highest risk of death by murder compared to all other ethnic groups. in their lifetimes, 82% of native men report having experienced domestic violence. yet the overwhelming majority of perpetrators are non-natives (88% of native men and 92% of native women who reported violence said their attacker was non-native). what’s more, tribal governments are often stymied in their attempts to bring justice against non-natives, meaning that many of these cases go unresolved.

this was an intersectional attack. the fact that he is indigenous matters, even if the motivation was homophobic, because it made him even more vulnerable and disposable in the eyes of his killer.

as always, look into MMIWP to learn more, and speak up for us. miigwetch, take care

Actor Jonathan Joss was just murdered for being gay and married to a trans man. On the first day of pride 2025. He was best known for playing John Redcorn on King of the Hill. He was proudly indigenous, often playing indigenous roles. He was Comanche and white mountain apache.

I had no idea he was gay but he was married to a man named Tristan Kern de Gonzales (on valentines day 2025!)

They lived in San Antonio Texas where his family is from and he grew up. He was 59.

In Janurary 2025 his home was burned down which made news. It killed some of his beloved dogs. He didnt elaborate beyond he believed it was arson (gofundme is still up and i suggest donating to help his funeral costs and his husband

Update: de Gonzales says hes fine he just wants justice but i still think its nice)

Now we know he and his husband had been threatened by several neighbors for being queer. They told pigs, pigs being pigs did nothing before or after it happened.

Yesterday Joss and his husband went to check their mailbox wherein they found one of their dogs skulls (statement from his husband

)

As they weeped and mourned in shock, a neighbor, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, came out and aimed at de Gonzales…but Joss jumped in front of the bullet and was instantly killed.

Ceja, homophobia murdering coward, tried to take off but de Gonzales had called pigs who vaguely tried to do something. He was arrested and his bail set for $200k. Or as my sister said who the fuck sets bail for a murderer?

San Antonio.

De Gonzales is clearly mourning, posting pics on Hoss’ fb page. This one really struck me

This is why we need pride people, and not rainbow capitalism. Please donate to the gofundme and let san antonio cops knows what you think. De Gonzales said multiple neighbors had threatened them…id like to see those people investigated for arson.

Go into pride with rage and knowing. Have joy, kiss puppies, dont bow to homophobes. And maybe enjoy a little king of the hill.

UPDATE

Jonathan Joss’ husband Tristan kern de Gonzales identifies as trans on his facebook page.

Which explains the ramp up of hate and why the murderer shot at de Gonzales (Joss pushed him out of the way). So this is also a transphobia related murder

The media and pigs are breaking their backs to not say queer. The local bews segment was stunning in its washing of the motive. Good news tho: the gofundme is funded!!!
