1970 年代的酷儿摄影。（影集：New York Underground；摄影师：Veretta Cobler）
这种济河焚舟一般的生命力，现在很少很少见了。
如今的酷儿文化，张扬但缺乏重量，华丽却流于轻浮。

Is anyone paying attention?

https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2025/dec/11/meta-shuts-down-global-accounts-linked-to-abortion-advice-and-queer-content

"Campaigners have accused Meta of being condescending and unresponsive, with the company offering only vague reasons why certain accounts were taken down – and appearing unwilling to engage."

These interventions "...reinforce the power imbalance that allows big tech to decide whose voices are amplified and whose are silenced."

That is why we should all move to the Fediverse.

#Guardian #Queer #Trump

"Meta has removed or restricted dozens of accounts belonging to abortion access providers, queer groups and reproductive health organisations in the past weeks in what campaigners call one of the 'biggest waves of censorship' on its platforms in years."

Time to update my #introduction -

I'm a #pagan #polytheist #animist #queer #author #artist and spiritworker. My specialty (obsession) is all things #Minoan though I do also have interests in other practices and traditions.

I'm the founder and Temple Mom of #AriadnesTribe inclusive Minoan spiritual tradition (there's a link in my bio). Yes, we're fully inclusive. All means all.

I've written pagan and magical #fiction and #nonfiction and created an adult #ColoringBook and a #Tarot deck.

I love #gardening and #LivingHistory (which in some places is called Heritage Interpretation) and preindustrial skills like #weaving #spinning #knitting #crochet #quilting #HearthCooking and I love learning new skills as well.

In our magazine: Weeks after a transphobic attack, dozens of #trans, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming folks gathered on the “free side” of #Austin’s Barton Springs to swim, celebrate, and fearlessly take up space.

Kit @oconnell was there to witness this moment of #queer joy and resilience... https://www.texasobserver.org/protect-trans-joy-barton-springs/

PSA for any trans+ person looking to start, or currently doing, any kind of voice training

Seattle Voice Lab has broken their silence over a former employee of theirs (Jimmy Chen), who set up his own voice coaching service called Trans Voice Lab.

We need to address Trans Voice Lab.

We highly recommend watching / listening to the whole video, but here are some key points within their video:

Jimmy's employment was terminated for "manipulative teaching practices and dishonesty towards" their students.
He downloaded their bespoke training materials (SVL's intellectual property) and client lists (!!!), then used these to set up his own voice coaching service and write a book.
SVL didn't want to have to make the video, but has felt obliged to do so.
SVL is pursuing "legal counsel" over Jimmy's actions.

tl;dr

Avoid any videos or guides from Jimmy Chen.
Avoid using Trans Voice Lab at all costs.

Boosts and crossposts very welcome, as we need to make more folks aware of this

Will Ferrell goes on a road trip with long-time friend Harper Steele, former SNL head writer and newly out trans woman.

As a kid, I could never have imagined trans people just being out in movies and TV. What I would give to see all these trans people when I was 10.

I'm not crying, you're crying 😭

“Trans visibility is important, but also trans people deserve to have fun.”

For @TexasObserver magazine, I teamed up with photojournalist Harmon Li to document a "Trans Takeover" on the free side of #Austin's Barton Springs swimming hole. It was a moment of queer and #trans joy that came weeks after a violent attack. https://www.texasobserver.org/protect-trans-joy-barton-springs/

“Come as you are, come walk with us, come hang out, and you hopefully make some really good friends out of the whole process.”

There's a growing number of #Queer Social Clubs that offer sober alternatives to the bar scene, from hiking to yoga to line dancing and soup. My first for "Big and Bright," The Barbed Wire's #LGBTQIA news section. https://thebarbedwire.com/2025/11/10/queer-community-outside-the-bar-texas/

“Love is an act of resistance, and our community is so brave and resilient.”

For The Barbed Wire and the 19th, I covered the Big #Queer Wedding Party, a joyous and defiant, glitter-soaked protest and party where ten couples from around #Texas (& Oklahoma!) got married or renewed their vows, officiated by Judge Denise Hernández a queer judge from here in #Austin. https://thebarbedwire.com/2025/12/10/big-queer-wedding-party-in-texas/

"My hidden agenda in the book club is to get people excited about reading stories about members of the #LGBTQ+ community who are different than them."

I'm here, I'm #queer, I belong in Texas, too.

The Barbed Wire asked me to take a moment to introduce myself, and why our state needs #trans reporters like me, and media where we can see our stories reflected.

This one starts when I'm just 13 years old...

Out today, a story months in the making...

In August, #Austin Police Department violently arrested two pro-Palestine activists at the city's annual #Pride march, and I investigated why and how it happened.

Even though Pride itself claimed to be welcoming to symbols of Palestinian liberation, police who were deployed to "protect" the #LGBTQIA+ community from violent threats ended up attacking us instead. https://thebarbedwire.com/2024/10/18/you-can-fly-any-flag-at-austin-pride-except-a-palestinian-one/

One of the things that I love about the #Kagi search engine is that it surfaces relevant "small web" sites, like personal blogs. This is great because there's a lot of useful info in those!

They're now curating a small web set for artists (illustrators, comics, etc) and I want to help ensure that #queer artists are being represented. Point me to queer artist websites and I'll help get them added!

Ditto blogs of queers too!

Geraldine Roman is a politician in the Philippines. On trans rights she says:
"Recognizing our rights and dignity will in no way diminish yours. We are not asking for special privileges or extra rights. We simply ask for equality. With inclusiveness and diversity, our nation has so much to gain."

So I'm a few days late, but I found out that it's customary to write an #Introduction, and so here it is <3

Hi! I'm Liz, a #trans woman who has recently entered her 40's. I've been out and open since October, 2021, and at this point feel like a #queer elder.

I'm a Sr. (Software) Engineering Manager with almost 20 years of experience in software development. I also have a few years in there as a Senior Product Manager, but my passion definitely lies on the engineering side of things.

I've been involved in Olympic #fencing for almost 30 years in some capacity, and for the last several I have been an armorer at collegiate, (US) national, and international events.

I am here on Mastodon after deciding to leave anything Meta behind, and realizing that BlueSky isn't the safe haven that it purports to be. I hope all of the Threads and Twitter users that ended up there don't get burned, but I'm not taking my chances with that.

Things I am likely to post about: Trans and other LGBTQIA2S+ rights, software development, vintage/retro gaming and computing, Olympic fencing and my cat.

🚨 URGENT REQUEST - PLEASE BOOST 🚨

I'm looking for names and/or connections of any academics, independent researchers, or prominent figures *anywhere*, but *especially* in #Canada who have at least *some* connection to *any* fields related to:

- #Genocide (in general)
- #Trans Genocide
- #Geopolitics as they relate to trans people

I've been asked to lead a significant and urgent project related to the present crisis, and I've dropped all other tasks to support this. I wish I could provide more details publicly, but these details will have to follow.

- Feel free to either post or DM me names/info or to connect

Remember folks: Stonewall was a riot. And we didn't get the right to marry by asking politely for it.
