Mutual Aid Request
One of my dearest friends in this world is trying to get here to marry her love. And the immigration fees from the lawyers have proven quite staggering.
Dani has been alone long enough. Please let her be happy. #mutualaid #MutualAidRequest #fundraising #boost #donate
Mutual Aid Request
I know I keep re-boosting this, but I really want my friend to finally accomplish her dream and be happy. So please help me do that.

Somewhat related, our blocklist is public and we're very open to discuss our reasons that an instance is on our list. If anyone has concerns that an instance is blocked by us that shouldn't be, please bring it up. We've previously removed blocks when situations changed and we're very eager to remove any entries that legitimately shouldn't be there. You can DM me, you can DM any of our mods listed on https://mastodon.ar/about , or you can email admin@mastodon.art.
Please friends, who are still on tech.lgbt, if nothing else call you admin and moderators in on this kind of behavior.
It's a pattern. It's been called out by outside people, but if you don't try to change anything on the inside nothing will change.

I suspect more suspensions are going up soon, and all contact will be severed.
I'm 36. I first realised I was non-binary in my early twenties, and honestly at the time I assumed it would never be generally accepted.
Yesterday I spent eight hours playing a triple-A RPG that casually they/themed my non-binary character, and today I came into work, walked past a row of faculty offices with pronouns on the name-plates, and settled in for a day of being correctly gendered by my colleagues.
I mean. Wow.

discussion of suffixes & furry fetish art & also wow I'm not sober yet
also the way furries generate [body part]vore is like how -punk gets tacked to everything
therefore COCKPUNK is obviously furries in futuristic gear but only from waist up and with LED veins on the shaft, and I figure Gideon would draw that really awesomely btw, and I can only assume ANALPUNK is sorta the view from the rear
doo doo doot, just gonna hang out eating gyoza in the dark neon-lit future with a ridiculously overdetailed doughnut bulging from my dump truck ass, here. I can totally see it. If I had the mad skillz to draw/color this as well as I'd like I'd be rolling in watches right now.

re: trans thoughts
@TonicBH That might have been it. We also did gender TF RP in some of the associated IRC channels back in the day.
I have made a Carrd

Those who doubt that people can be trans or that nonbinary people exist are on the same level of ignorant as a pre-archimedian mathematician believing that no numbers exist other than positive integers, negative integers and null.
Get with the times, you have rational genders, irrational genders, transcendent genders, hyperreal genders, surreal genders, p-adic genders, and best of all, genders that lie on the complex plane.

@TonicBH For us, it was El Goonish Shive
fedi racism meta, white womanhood & transness
I mean let's call it what it is, this rallying cry to "protect trans women" in response to any criticism of leftist fedi: It's weaponized white womanhood. It's "to protect the honor of white women and the future of the white race" all over again, except they whitewashed trans womanhood in the service of white supremacy, erasing Black and Indigenous trans people in the process. Honestly the sheer insult to trans womanhood, my God.
Seriously, though, your duty is to not take on more work than you can handle. If you’re having a super shitty day, and doing the bare minimum to keep yourself alive is all you have the energy for, then fuck it, you’ve made your contribution for the day, and you should be proud of that.
