So I guess it's time for an #introduction. Well, I'm a 30 something #Black #queer woman. I love to read #books. I love the #NYKnicks. I like #bicycles even though, it's not my primary mode of transportation. I like refurbishing and upgrading old electronics, specifically #iPods and #laptops. #TV and music have kept me going more than anything else. I'm branching into #Linux and getting more familiar with #FOSS. I am a #blogger and I have linked my blog in my bio.

In Conversation: Aslı Tohumcu with Kirsty Logan
28 May, Glasgow Women’s Library – free
Aslı Tohumcu & Kirsty Logan unpack the power of queer feminist folklore re-tellings. Drawing on their own writing, both writers will explore how traditional folklore, whether from Turkey or Scotland, can help us understand present-day complexities

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."

For those who feel lost and struggling with what to do and lost in the #doomscroll and feel ill-equipped to deal with the #fascism we find ourselves surrounded by.
I wrote this post for you on how to take your first steps toward #action and #resistance.

Preventative cares more affordable than a crisis.

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.

We recently came across an amazing project called uBlockOrigin & uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist.
As they describe it, it's:
A huge blocklist of manually curated sites (1000+) that contain AI generated content, for the purposes of cleaning image search engines (Google Search, DuckDuckGo, and Bing) with uBlock Origin or uBlacklist.
There's something really lovely at the top of the uBlock Origin filter list, just under the description, that brought us a small bit of very-much-needed joy, and we wanted to share it here with others 🫶
! HAPPY PRIDE MONTH
! Please support authentic artists! Whether it be commissions or donations, an amount of any size helps!
! I love you.
! You are valid.
! LGBTQ+ Rights!
! Keep your chin up--we will get through this together <33
! Have a happy day!

Democrats in the United States Congress must show they are serious about fighting back and need to take a lesson from the legislators in New Zealand who refuse to let #Parliament ignore their voices. To paraphrase MTV "It's time to stop being polite and start being real" #RESIST

NEW: For The Barbed Wire, I spent weeks talking to current and former students, faculty, nonprofits and others, documenting LGBTQ+ life at #Texas' public universities, where in the last two years students have lost access to health care, advisors, safe spaces, funding for #queer and #trans student orgs and much more.
If there's hope, it's that some communities have stepped up to support the students and what they've lost.. https://thebarbedwire.com/2026/02/05/communities-ripped-apart-on-texas-college-campuses-lgbtq-services-have-been-completely-decimated/
👐🏼 ¡Lanzamos un fanzine!
💞 'Utopías Trans: Una reflexión comunitaria para impulsar cambios narrativos hacia futuros mejores'
Parte de un ejercicio de imaginación colectiva sobre cómo será el mundo cuando acabe la transfobia y vivamos todes felices... y propone algunas vías para llegar ahí, con poder narrativo.
Esperamos que os resulte inspirador.

My new debit card is here! My deadname is 100% out of my wallet!
MOST of my mail is now sent to Me as well too.
So much work to get here but feels so much better.
Today I published my latest book, "Black Seeds: Wild Anarchy Growing in the Wasteland". It has three sections: "On Nothing", which discusses nihilism, 'A Queer Apocalypse in the Wasteland" which discusses anarchist, queer, trans and sex issues in the context of patriarchy and capitalism, and "alchemical anarchy" which is my version of what we need to do to survive. Its not a short book but you only have to read the bits that you like.
How are we meant to survive in a Wasteland of capitalism and patriarchal control?
My new book "Black Seeds: Wild Anarchy Growing in the Wasteland" tries to answer that question honestly. It has three sections: "On Nothing", which discusses nihilism, 'A Queer Apocalypse in the Wasteland" which discusses anarchist, queer, trans and sex issues in the context of patriarchy and capitalism, and "alchemical anarchy" which is my version of what we need to do to survive. Its not a short book but you only have to read the bits that you like.
terrible webcam selfie, but I'm reminded of that "comfort the afflicted, afflict the comfortable" queer tumblr post
