As a trans woman I can confirm that they indeed found an ancient forest inside a 630ft deep sinkhole in China

cis people can reblog this but keep it on subject, please

Happy pride month everyone always remember that the sinkhole has an ecosystem large enough to house not only insects but likely several species of small birds or mammals

I need $600 to pay off my phone so I can leave my mother's plan and go no contact. She found out I'm trans, and she didn't take it well at all. I was raised in Missouri, and she lives there still. She's already using this phone as leverage to force me to detransition. With the increasingly anti-trans legislation in Missouri, I'm afraid she might try to escalate matters legally.

Please help me.

The issue isn’t the fact I won’t have a phone, the issue is I’m legally liable for these $600 whether I attempt to transfer and/or cancel the plan, or if she decides to cancel it, which she’s currently threatening to do. If she cancels the plan and I can’t/don’t pay, she can take me to court in Missouri. I’m being advised by the pro bono lawyer handling my name/gender change to sever this legal liability ASAP, lest she escalates it further as retaliation, all things her legal firm has seen parents do.

$120/600

Thank you so much everyone, I'm past the halfway point. Once I'm at $600, I'll be sure to post the receipt.

This has stalled, I'm still about $50 short.

I miss the days when, no matter how slow your internet was, if you paused any video and let it buffer long enough, you could watch it uninterrupted

i miss when you could make political art without placing personal identity (and the self) at the center of everything

this piece (“artist bio” by anna daliza) sort of perfectly sums it up. the emphasis on identity politics and tokenization in art/music/performance spaces feels reductive and exploitative- like it offers a sort of racial tourism for the wealthy white patrons. none of what im saying are original thoughts btw go see White by james ijames

when you call your reps to ask them to pretty please stop taking away your rights, remember:

  • In deep red areas you're a republican who is thinking of voting for someone else if they don't vote what you want on this specific bill because it impacts your republican ideals so very much
  • In swing states you're an undecided voter who's gonna go blue if they don't vote how you like

remember to call because that way their phone is going off and their peers can hear it because their offices are close together (emails and letters don't work like that), so it can rattle them if they get high volumes. remember that you gotta make them feel like they're losing something.

Talking points I've been using in my blood red state:

  • "I'm a small business owner and [example: anti-drag bill] is making me lose money!" OR "[Anti-drag bill] is going to cost us millions in taxable sales" - If you talk about how it's making you personally lose money and absolutely need to bullshit, you run a bar or do freelance photography. The intern they have on the other line does not have the resources or the know-how to check that.
  • "I'm concerned that [anti abortion bill] is the government infringing on my personal rights." - Self explanatory.
  • "[Anti-gay bill] goes against family values in my church." - They aren't going to call your local Pentecostal chapter to fact check this. You don't even need to be Pentecost, you just need to assert that you're part of a community and a major voting bloc.
  • Remember: In smaller towns, literally every vote counts. And voters generally don't call in, so your call can carry quite the advantage.
