For #IntersexAwarenessDay: This fantastic cosmic horror anthology from @tenebrouspress.bsky.social My contribution “Feast of Saints” is a meditation on how much sacrifice is often demanded of AFAB people & in counterpoint, the aching quest to reach beyond assigned sex despite the sacrifice:

the stupidest thing about being an artist working through a huge amount of your own internalised bullshit is that, like bullshit, it's incredibly fertile ground for work & if you're even a little bit circumspect it just looks like a connected body of work or a fixation on some symbolism-

-but because You know what most of it is, it it feels incredibly, hamhandedly obvious & masturbatory, so much so that you want to complain but if you had a clearer idea HOW to complain, it wouldn't need to be art, so Doing So is calling yourself out & attention to whatever wank is actually present

ofc i spend a lot of time feeling like everything about me is obvious and visible and contrived for a number of reasons i'm only recently digging through so this may also just be a me thing & i may actually be talking out of my ass

This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

I think it’s a good thing to point out to people that attacks on trans rights are part-and-parcel of the far right program to make everyone’s rights negotiable and subject to revision at a moment’s notice.

Also, if I ever seem exceptionally fervent about my defense of bodily autonomy This is why My right to my body as it was born to be was taken away from me at infancy And then the medical establishment convinced my family to lie to me about that for the rest of my life Unacceptable

Oh, hey It’s #intersex awareness day I am And because the entire system lies to intersex people & suppresses our stories, while I knew something -had- to be up, I did not know I was intersex until I was almost 30 That was tough Raise awareness, so it’s not so hard for others #LGBTQIA

We need free healthcare and a completely different culture of medicine in this country, and we need it NOW. Until then, take care of yourselves and help each other stay on top of shit.

Eric Bauza's family is reporting that he died from hypertensive heart disease, according to the LA medical examiner. He was 46. My instinctual reaction is to tell people to get their shit checked out… but then i think of my own experiences this year & the cost of medicine in this country, & i just…

I think artists and sex workers should have a natural allyship. Both of us are often told we should not be allowed to charge for our work if it is at all pleasurable. Both of us are wanted for what we can do, but our work is considered not worth paying for. We should stick together

Hi. I, a trans woman, am the Executive Producer of this show. I wrote the question. He called trans girls men. He has now said it in three different places in the past week.

Complete and unfettered psychographic segmentation has long been the dream of industries and governments who seek power and control. Some privacy harms can appear to be trifling until seen in the aggregate.

Like a nose job or liposuction or a Botox treatment or a piercing or a tattoo: You don’t have to agree with a person’s choice to do it. You don’t have to like how it looks. But if you believe in bodily autonomy, you better support their right to do it Support ALL our rights

Attacks on trans rights are attacks on bodily autonomy If you truly have trouble wrapping your head around the problem: Take a moment to consider that anything anti-trans is telling us that people can be told legally by their government that they have no control over their own bodies

There’s no discussion of potential penalties in this article, but if people don’t go to jail for flagrant illegality like this, it will keep happening. For companies like Google, fines are just another cost of doing business. Something to toss on the balance sheet and weigh against profits.

The mantis is called the 'rice-pounding grasshopper' in Thailand (ตั๊กแตนตำข้าว), from the motion of its raptorial forelegs resembling the traditional manner of pounding rice to remove the husks. This one was drawn with this very brush.
