Hi #Fediverse, we are an #LGBTQ family in the US who have just fled a red state, and are raising survival funds. Money donated this week will go toward groceries, gas, household supplies, and an emergency vet bill for our dog Loki.

Our fundraiser is currently at $7553 — we really need to hit $8553 by June 10th to stay on track. Every bit counts!

I still don't know whether Kori Michele has migrated to the fediverse, so I'm sharing some epic artwork of theirs ❤️ 💜 💙

Panel 1 Kori: "Happy Pride month!! Let's talk about the word bisexual!" Panel 2: Li'l Rando: "Hey! Isn't bi transphobic?" Kori: "No, no, my sweet li'l rando!" Panel 3: Kori: "If you like women, and you don't consider trans women to be women? That's YOUR damage, not a problem with the word bisexual. People who don't acknowledge a trans person's gender identity have their own problem. Men include trans men. Women include trans women. End of story! Bisexuals who are transphobes are just that - transphobic bisexuals."
Panel 1: Li'l Rando: "Then what about non-binary people? If you like men & women, doesn't that mean you won't date enbies??" Kori: "Good question, my darling love-child of misinformation and biphobia! Let me show you a chart!" Text underneath: (You love charts!) Panel 2: Table headings: Prefix - Means - My Preferences Is Table data: homo - alike - genders like mine hetero - different - genders unlike mine bi - two - genders both like and unlike mine pan - all - all genders! Lil' Rando: "By that definition, don't bi & pan mean the same thing?" Kori: "Yes! The two of bi may have meant 2 sexes in the past, but that's not how we use it now!"
Panel 1: Kori: "I'm non-binary! It may seem bizarre for an NB to be a bisexual if you misunderstand what bi means." Li'l Rando: "Why not just switch to pansexual then?" Kori: "Honestly? Because I was bisexual first. I've been bi since I knew it was a thing I could be! It's me. I like it." Panel 2: Li'l Rando: "So you think people shouldn't use pan." Kori: "Not at all, my precious, imaginary counter-argument! No! This is the biggest and most dangerous misconception! Bi & pan not enemies! They're not at odds with one another! They co-exist because language is messy!"
Panel 1: You can see posters on the wall. Poster 1: transvestite, transsexual, transgender, trans, trans*, ??? Post 2: gay, LGBT, LGBTQ, LGBTQQIA, GSM, queer, ??? Kori: "Language around gender and sexuality changes fast and it will continue to change! Where will the terms we use be tomorrow? In a year? In five years?" Text underneath: "Heck, I just learned about allo and demi" Panel 2: Kori: "In conclusion! It's okay to be bi! Bi and pan can co-exist peacefully! And don't assume bisexuals are trans or NB exclusionary! Always respect people's identities!" Panel 3: Text: "I love you! Resist! Assist! Survive!" Kori Michele Date (MMDDYY) 06/14/17

Latest comic on everyday gun violence in America. For all the rhetoric around the Second Amendment invoking "liberty," guns are limiting our freedom.

#guns #lgbtq

SUN'S OUT, GUNS OUT 1. Man and woman watching neighbor shoot beer cans in yard 'That neighbor's being loud.' 'Better not complain -- it isn't safe.' 2. 'Maybe I'll go play basketball.' 'Just don't let the ball roll into someone else's yard -- you might get shot.' 3. 'There's a drag show in town that's supposed to be good. You interested?' 'If it's not shut down by threats of violence.' 4. 'Hmm... we could visit my Aunt Enid.' 'Be careful you don't go up the wrong driveway.' 5. '(Sigh) maybe I'll just read some cartoons to take my mind off of guns.'

#Brave #ChatGPT #BrendanEich #LGBTQ #COVID #AI

Pull quote from New York Times Article: In the United States, Brave, a browser company whose chief executive has sowed doubts about the Covid-19 pandemic and made donations opposing same-sex marriage, added an A.I. bot to its search engine this month that was capable of answering questions. At times, it sourced content from fringe websites and shared misinformation. Brave’s tool, for example, wrote that “it is widely accepted that the 2020 presidential election was rigged,” despite all evidence to the contrary. “We try to bring the information that best matches the user’s queries,” Josep M. Pujol, the chief of search at Brave, wrote in an email. “What a user does with that information is their choice. We see search as a way to discover information, not as a truth provider.”

Conservatives Aim to Build an A.I. Chatbot of Their Own

After criticizing A.I. companies for liberal bias, programmers started envisioning right-wing alternatives, making chatbots a new front in the culture wars.

I've just discovered that there's a petition on the #UK government petitions website to remove #LGBT content from the curriculum, effectively resurrecting the horrendous Section 28 from the 1980s.

There is also a counter-petition. As of this morning, the remove petition has over 178,000 signatures, the counter-petition has just over 2,500 signatures.

Please sign the counter-petition.

A screenshot from the UK government petitions website. It shows a petition to remove LGBT content from the curriculum has over 178,000 signatures and a petition to keep the content has just over 2,500 signatures.

Petition: Do not remove LGBT content from the Relationships Education curriculum

We believe kids should learn about this at an early age. I am sure there are many parents who want their and other children taught about LGBT issues in primary school.

I just had the worst #interview of my entire #career . It turned out to be an insightful list of precisely how NOT to attract talent. In that way, it was really useful to me as a candidate.

Presented for your amusement, here's a thread of what I asked. It's going to be a longboi, but here's my absolute favorite:

🚩 Do you have any queer peers? Is this a safe place for them to work? "We don't talk about that here."

thinking about middle aged gay love is like we have a future and we have time lycaonswolves replied: my mother divorced my father when i was 7. it wasn't because she was gay, though she did discover this later (another reminder that it's okay to find out who you are at 40, at 50, etc, and also for who you are to change) but because she had thought he was the great love of her life and he turned out to be a shitty person my mother married my ma when i was 11. i think they do have a great love. i think they love each other the way you can when you're middle aged -- having seen the world, being able to see each other's flaws, knowing themselves. they see each other in full, and they love each other and the world for it.
they dance on the street to buskers (very embarrassing when you're twelve; very cute when you look back on it as an adult). i shit you not -- they pass me their purses and dance on the sidewalk, laughing. i thought was something that only happened in movies. my ma makes my mother eggs every morning because my mother can't cook for shit. my mother presses my ma's work blazers for her because my ma still can't figure out how to work the new iron. when it was warm, high-school me would wake up on the weekends and wander downstairs to find them sitting in the backyard in the sun, drinking coffee together and splitting the newspaper in a surgical, exact process since they'd worked out who wanted which sections years ago.
my mother is happier than she's ever been. my ma, too. there is a future out there for every gay person who's always known they're gay., like my ma, and for everyone who figures it out later, like my mother there's time. they're growing old together. i cannot express to you how much they are leading happy lives, loving each other, with a huge family surrounding them. i cannot express to you how much they have this beautiful future that they are living and willive i want you to know, if you don't have any older gays in your life: they're out there. and they're living these full, happy lives. sometimes i look to my moms and i think i want a life like yours. and looking at them makes me believe i will get it

new essay! not only debunks "trans social contagion" & "gr00ming" charges, but shows how they're linked, and explains the unconscious thinking behind both anti-trans campaigners' obsession with us & the TERF-to-fascist pipeline.

no paywall link, pls share & give it lots of "claps" (up to 50) so other ppl see it!

Anti-Trans “Grooming” and “Social Contagion” Claims Explained

There is a virtually endless list of things that supposedly cause people to become transgender. During the mid-to-late twentieth century, perhaps the most common proposed cause was faulty…

I have a request.

Bad actors will soon figure out - if they haven't already - that setting up impersonations of important organizations now will allow them to set off an explosion of chaos and confusion at a time of their choosing.

So if you run an account for an organization (especially #LGBTQ), please set up link verification between your Mastodon account profile and your organization's website.

If not, please boost.

Instructions are here under "Link Verification":

On a rocky hilltop, overlooking a campgrounds, a young woman sits clutching her knees to her chest. She’s dressed for winter, grey khakis and a red knitted sweater, there’s a scarf around her neck. In the distance there’s a lone, white bell tent. On the horizon, just beyond the trees the sun is rising.

Me and My Dysphoria Monster is a children's book, illustrated by Ang Hui Qing, which aims to discuss gender dysphoria in child approachable language.

The book focuses on a hopeful and optimistic future, and contains an adults reference guide at the back.

#Books #trans #lgbtq

A series of illustrations show a young trans girl being referred to with he/him pronouns, and forced to live as male pre transition. Her dysphoria is personified as a clolourful, but dark, swirling creature with no easy to see form or shape.

Last year I started to really get into more complex backgrounds. Especially urban areas, perspective and less "natural" sceneries were what I wanted to challenge myself at. So I drew my #OCs (as I always do) in their natural surroundings - a modern urban city filled with #graphicdesign puns and references!

I think I actually got some kind of coherent story out of it - completely unplanned!

Warm steamed buns to go - who would be able to resist? A short trip to the local Seven-Magic to get some snacks was definitely not on the To-Do list of CMYK-chan but alas. Some Vector brand Chips spontaneously landed in her grocery bags just like some pop-up gum and glyph shaped fruit gummies. Her girlfriend was in a snacking mood and who would CMYK-chan be if she would refuse her girlfriends secret weapon: her puppy eyes.
"Hurry up you slowpoke! We're gonna miss the train!" RGB-chan yelled, grabbing CMYK-chans hand. The metro to Kerning Road is about to depart, passing through Crop Square and Pixel Street. The sun is about to set, engulfing her girlfriend into a warm atmosphere as she sprints towards the closing doors.
Tapped out - that day way way too long for CMYK-chan. She sunk half asleep onto her girlfriend RGB-chans shoulder while riding the train back home. The sun is setting through the train window, shinining onto the skyline. Every day is just made better spending it with your partner. ❤️
