A decorative design of pale pink lady's smock flowers on a pale green background. A single stalk sprouts from the centre, splitting off into five tightly shut buds at the top, a more open bud hanging down either side revealing more of the petals and a fully open flower in the very centre.

the A.I.-crypto election war chest has ramped way back up, in case you needed another hint as to where all these massive investments are sloshing around

Hey, alongside contacting your representatives, this seems like another thing worth putting a bit of your time into and sharing around. If we could get "reputational risk" taken off the table, even in this current climate, that could create a chilling effect on these kinds of policies

It’s always disappointing to finish a book, where it wasn’t terrible enough to stop reading mid-book, but once you’ve finished, it was decidedly not good.

pretty anime boy: this is it.. this is the final battle!

If you're wondering how transparent a bill like "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act" could be -

This isn't about combating child exploitation, this is censoring LGBT expression under the guise of combating child exploitation.

Please call and tell your senators/representatives to stop this.

MIKU day!

And there it is. Actually insane given how overwhelming the evidence is in support of care for trans people.

#FREELUD UPDATE:

Ludovic’s bond hearing is on Friday!

This does not change the fact that he is still expected in court for a deportation hearing in May, even if he is released.

The fight is not over, but we are hopeful that he will be free of ICE custody soon. Keep fighting!

A 1960s themed picture of a humanoid alien, Kure. Kure has baby pink skin and pink-white hair. Their fringe is sticking out of a pink, purple, and orange floral print headscarf. They're smiling with pointed teeth and one eye is closed. They wear a purple bishop-sleeved mini dress, white vinyl belt, psychedelic-printed tights and white vinyl gogo boots. They are holding a white vinyl telephone handbag and they are holding the receiver to their ear. The background is a swirl of purple, magenta, orange, and lime green. There are a number of white daisies in the background. In the centre of the image is the phrase "HEY BABY!" in a bubbly font.

🌺 HEY BABY! ☎️

Sometimes I'll watch commentary youtubers and it drives me insane when the person is constantly going "pre...pree-clampsia? What is that?" or "Reenee Dess-cartay? Am I pronouncing that right?". It's incredibly bold to make your job commenting on shit when you've apparently never heard of anything

A graphic with a large yellow banner in the middle announcing "Live on Kickstarter! We've Always Been Here: A queer historical zine." The bottom text is in a rainbow gradient with little rainbows framing the box. Above this is a mockup of the book's cover alongside some page mockups, and the bottom half features three other illustration previews.

An official graphic from Kickstarter that says "Project We Love: Kickstarter" in white text on a black background, with a green decorative circle. In the middle is a pale red heart.

"We've Always Been Here" has been featured by Kickstarter as a #ProjectWeLove !! And we're only one week into the campaign! 🌈

New NHS England Review Excluded 97% Of All Trans Studies To Say Care Doesn't Work The new review has led to a ban for HRT through the NHS England system under the age of 18.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Mar 10 EITM
In announcing new HRT ban for minors, NHS England publishes 10 reviews showing there's little evidence for it. By parsing the question into 10 narrowly-focused reviews they were able to exclude 97% of 547 available studies on HRT, most showing it works.

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking.

I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

Pixar was the single handed most misogyny I ever experienced to my face in my life, stemming from my work being "too girlish" with an insinuated, but never directly stated "and too gay", while also complaining that I was perplexing for not behaving like their perception of a normal "woman"

A decorative design of white wood anemone flowers on a pale blue background in a style evoking the Arts & Crafts movement and Art Nouveau.

Wood Anemone
(Anemonoides nemorosa)

I've designed a new stamp washi tape with decorative illustrations of wildflowers found in the British Isles. While I am still waiting for the final product to make its way back to me, I figured I'd show the individual drawings which I am rather pleased with.

$5/month is only about 16¢ per day and it can make a massive difference in the lives of these beautiful rescue animals. Please consider becoming a monthly donor!

Masuke seems to want to be petted.

US folks: this is the only tariff-free time to get the zine and merch (and with affordable shipping!)

Group packs (like 5x the book) are also available at discount too, to spread this queer joy with friends!

An image of Dianna Soliel from Turn A Gundam saying "What I am now is a goddess who sows seeds of discord and strife" the caption says "reblog if what you are now is a goddess who sows seeds of discord and strife"

This repeats yet another pattern from the Iraq War. When the Iraqis did not behave as the Americans wanted — without the deference and gratitude that a foreign military occupier felt it was due — they became targets.
