Silly lil comic notes under line break

11/30/23: KOSA is an anti-LGBTQIA+ censorship bill. It is essential you call THIS week. Tell them you are specifically against KOSA and especially against hotlining the bill.

Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected to the Senator of your choice.

Here is one that will send your reps a fax: https://resist.bot/

Even with the changes as of 2024, this is still dangerous. It could clear senate. It’s got enough support to. Contact your senators.

The vote is on March 13th.

Even better, contact your representatives since this bill doesn’t have much support in there and it’s important that it never does.

Call to action! The Seaconke Wampanoag Tribe is lasking everyone to please contact House Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi and Senate President Dominick J Ruggiero to ask for their support for House Bill H7477. We’re asking that you send a letter to rep-shekarchi@rilegislature.gov, sen-ruggerio@rilegislature.gov, and - If you live in RI - to the rep of the district that you live in (check here https://www.commoncause.org/find-your-representative/ to find who your rep is and here http://webserver.rilegislature.gov/Email/RepEmailListDistrict.asp for their contact information)

Below is the letter that I’ve sent, to use as a template, though of course your own words would be best. 

My name is Monique Poirier - I’m the Secretary of the Seaconke Wampanoag tribe. I’m writing today in hopes of bringing your attention to RI House Bill H7477 (https://legiscan.com/RI/bill/H7477/2024), which regards recognition of the Seaconke Wampanoag Tribe.

Historically, the Seaconke Wampanoag resided in Massachusetts and Rhode Island - Cumberland, Lincoln, Pawtucket, and East Providence. When the state lines were drawn, dividing Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the tribe was divided. Due to patterns of migration, a majority of the tribe now resides in Rhode Island. Recognizing the tribe in Rhode Island would allow all members of our tribe to be recognized in the state that they live in. I myself co-own a home, pay taxes, and vote in Pawtucket. 

We are only asking for recognition; we are not asking for money or land, and we have no interest in establishing a gaming facility - only for the state to acknowledge that we are still here.

Recognizing the Seaconke Wampanoag Tribe in the state of Rhode Island would give us access to federal funding, which would benefit Rhode Island as well - it would bring money into the state.

This bill would recognize the Seaconke Wampanoag tribe as a Native American Indian Tribe for the limited purpose of establishing eligibility for federal education, job training, healthcare, and housing benefits - and the federal protection of the sale of Native Artwork by the members of our tribe. Our goal is to more effectively pursue support for tribal healthcare and education initiatives, to protect our cultural sites, and to practice our culture and arts. We sincerely hope to gain your support in our efforts.

If you’d like to run a small story on any platform concerning the efforts of the Seaconke Wampanoag tribe, please contact: 

Chief Darrel Waldron - 401-781-1098, dwaldron@rhodeislandindiancouncil.org

First Councilman John Falcon Harris - 401-699-1913, jharris021452@gmail.com

Many thanks for your consideration,

To protect their identities I will not be posting images of the victims.

Yesterday a 45 year old white man took it upon himself to do a "citizens arrest" wherein he physically restrained three blak kids, binding their wrists together with zip ties and then binding them to each other. The children were aged 6, 7 and 8. They had gone swimming in the pool of a vacant property which is currently for sale, you know, regular kid stuff.

The perpetrator is not the owner of the property, allegedly he is a tradesman who was called to work on the air conditioning in the property and took great personal issue with three kids taking a cheeky swim on a blistering summers day. The man then called the police to report trespassing.

You know you've fucked up when so called australia's famously racist cops rock up on the scene and go "what the fuck mate." even the WA police commissioner was able to find a shred of empathy in his cold dead heart to call the scene "disturbing"

The children were attended by an ambulance and there has been no reports of injuries, though I suspect they're deeply traumatized by the experience, if the images of them sobbing are anything to go by.

The man has been arrested and is facing three counts of aggravated assault.

As I was making sure I had my information correct writing this post I saw a lot of white folks on twitter asking where the parents were, how they wouldn't let their kids do this, how its still trespassing blah blah blah, regular entitled white racist nonsense.

I was once a cheeky kid myself, and more than once I hopped a fence to go swimming in the neighbours pool while they weren't home alongside my siblings, but I'm white, so I'm allowed the luxury of kids will be kids. These were just children, innocent little bubs who just wanted to cool down in the suffocating heat. They were punished for the crime of daring to be children while blak.

It just goes to show just how deeply racism against indigenous people is still rooted in our society.

This is the most documented genocide in history. Future generations will look at the videos and photographs and, just as they have done with the Holocaust, they will say:

“Why did nobody stop this?”

“Why didn’t [Country] intervene? Even with the mountains of evidence and reports?”

“Never again”

And only if we do not do something now, we will see this cycle repeat itself.

Palestinians have made it clear we don't give a fuck about the 'Ceasefire tracker' and that the harm of Hollywood's popular support for this genocide is already done and will not be reversed nor forgiven.

Maybe there's something worth celebrating in the possibility that these celebrity idiots might perhaps reconsider supporting future western imperial endeavours, but the Palestinian blood of supporting Biden is already on their hands.

If they remained silent for months while they watched our slaughter after signing that fucking letter endorsing Biden's actions, I don't really care that they're recanting it now. The time to do that was months ago.

just a reminder!

[ID: a message from the free melissa lucio and death penalty action campaigns. it has a picture of melissa lucio holding up her hand to the camera. melissa lucio's address is as follows:

I am writing from the Mountainview Unit in Gatesville, Texas, home of the Texas Women's Death Row, which we prefer to call 'Liferow,' to wish everyone a meaningful International Women's Day.

Women's rights are human rights, and while we can celebrate many accomplishments, there is still so much work to be done. Together as sisters on Liferow, we hold onto the hope to abolish the death penalty for everyone, and pray for an end to the discrimination and violence against women that is still happening in Texas and around the world.

Intersex people who are not trans can experience wrong puberty.

Intersex people who are not trans can experience daily misgendering or degendering.

Intersex people who are not trans and have presentations that make them visibly ambiguous have to choose between working to alter our bodies in ways that might make us ill or might be difficult with comorbid disabilities just to pass OR be all but entirely outcast from normal society. Jobs, friends, etc.

Intersex people who are not trans can have gender dysphoria in relation to not passing as their gender - even their assigned gender. Some intersex people who are trans will be afab trans women or amab trans men for reasons perisex people will never understand.

Intersex people who are not trans experience the same kinds of social violence as trans folks - often with added medical violence unique to intersex people. (Being denied access to a gender affirming endocrinologist by a nonbinary doctor bc I'm not trans and being sent to an endo who abused me for being intersex instead lol!!!! and forced hormones and medical rape as a young teen etc)

Intersex people who ARE trans have to deal with the duality of these experiences, with dysphoria towards traits that align with their desired gender bc of how their bodies were treated starting young, with every bit of social fallout and abuse and violence that comes with both being intersex and being trans, with perisex trans people refusing to try to begin to understand intersex experiences or how transition can look wildly different for an intersex person.

Kevin Keith's 27 day hunger strike and the censorship around it

(most post body text copy-pasted from Death Penalty Action news email)

From prison, Kevin planned to manage a publicity campaign to call attention to his hunger strike and his demand for a just resolution to his case, however... the day he started his hunger strike, he was moved to solitary confinement. A prison executive came to see him... 

First she demanded that he hand over all of his documents, his paper, stamps, envelopes and his pen. Then she informed him of a policy change: Prisoners on a hunger strike are not allowed to communicate with the outside world.

Kevin had told his lawyers and some members of the media of his plans, but that was it. I certainly had no details, and Kevin's brother Charles also had no details. Worse, there was no way to contact or even visit Kevin, because he was in the hole (solitary confinement).

Kevin held out for 27 days.

His lawyers came to check on him once a week to make sure he was OK, but that's it.  No media responded to his plea. No celebrity supporters tweeted about his plight. We at Death Penalty Action had no information, and could therefore do nothing.

Even as Kevin drank copious amounts of water, he still was dehydrated. Kevin received intravenous hydration ten times, on the following dates:

And we had no idea.

Kevin says he found a spiritual benefit to the experience, but he stopped when the prison doctor warned him that he risked damaging his kidneys. They threatened him with being transferred to the hospital, restrained, and force-fed. At that point, he decided to end his hunger strike.

Kevin Keith is still waiting for Governor DeWine to act on his request for executive clemency. As you may recall, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against him back in November. It is unclear what additional legal avenues he has available to him.

to support kevin keith, you can sign his petition, send him money so that he can buy food to help as he recovers from his hunger strike, and watch his brother charles keith's 6 minute video on his experiences fighting the death penalty.

The Queerest Place On The Internet.

I don't usually draw stuff, I'm sure someone else could have done this better than me, hell someone else might have had this idea already and done it or something similar. But I couldn't get this out of my head today.

I've seen so many of my friends, mutuals, and artists I follow on here get censored just for existing. For the crime of being openly transfem on this website. At best, many of them have had their blogs permanently marked explicit. At worst, some have had their accounts terminated completely with no hope of being restored.

Tumblr is the loudest and proudest LGBTQ+ website on the internet, as long as you don't dare bring up the T.

I'm not going to back down though. I'm going to continue being happy, being proud of myself and my friends. My loved ones. No matter what happens here, they can't take trans joy away from me.

I don't often make personal posts like this and I especially don't often tempt staff's itchy trigger finger for banning transfems, but this post is worth it. It's something that I needed to say.

[ID: A digital artwork. A trans flag is in the backdrop of a dimly-lit room, and in front of it, there is a a computer screen displaying the Tumblr logo and text that reads “Your account has been terminated.” end ID]

I have seen more blogs get terminated in real time in the two weeks since I posted this than I have in my entire time here up to this point. I'm exhausted.

Despite what they say, how much they claim to care, claim to be working on improving things, it's obvious all they want from us is silence.

from the_yvesdropper on instagram:

there aren't many details about what happened but apparently he was shot by a family member last wednesday, the 28th (at least this article was the one linked in relation to his murder.)

judging by both the IG post and the comments section he was well-loved by many people and those people have many good memories with him and nothing but good things to say. this is a comment that was left by tirajmeansgolden which was hidden by IG for some reason:

Hey all, gonna be periodically opening up sketch commissions for Palestine relief. This round I will be taking submissions until Friday March 15th

guide on how to purchase an eSIM with Nomad / Simly

once you purchase - DO NOT activate it! send the QR code to gazaesims@gmail.com - then you can DM me a screenshot of the receipt along with your sketch request and your email @ so I can send you the drawing. It's very simple and some plans cost under $10, here's another post with more details about e-sims and places to find discount codes

I am also accepting receipts for donations $15 and up to any solid relief org / mutual aid funds going directly to Palestinians but i'd like to highlight the importance of e-sims for connecting Palestine.

Remember to uplift Palestinian voices, get involved in actions in your area, and keep your eyes on Gaza. Free Palestine
