β€ͺβ€ͺI don't know how I feel about #NationalComingOutDay.

But I know my Queerness is in the Image of God.

I know that the more I dwell in God, the more Queer I feel. And fiercer, and more vulnerable, and more loving, angrier, and less suited to this world yet more in it.

I'll also add if you are a person who has never talked to a reporter before, one of the safest things is to default, explicitly start "off the record" in live convo and be upfront with the reporter that this is the first time you've done this, can they talk you through ~their~ process to reporting.

β€œA.I. makes art accessible.” Art has always been accessible. There was like a six month period where I drew all the sketches for my comics with a lined notebook from the grocery store and a random green marker.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Ugh the Discourse on Threads today is downright revolting. So much Lateral Ableism that I actually appreciated my [usually dreaded] shower so I could wash it off.

1) The rate of sepsis rose more than 50%

2) they don’t break down data by race hereβ€”we need that info (generally BW’s maternal death rate is 3x that of WW, Native W is 2x)

3) they looked at hospital data. So missing greatest cause of pregnant/postpartum death: Murder. Abuse skyrockets w/pregnancy.
