I swear, more and more people are getting plastic surgery to make their noses tiny, and the noses in question are getting tinier and tinier.
Yes, yes, people should be able to alter their appearance as they see fit, don't criticize someone else's choices for their body, blah blah liberalism emergency blah
I'm just over here with a comparatively enormous schnoz, wondering how soon somebody's gonna offer the Voldemort treatment
On the last day of March we're hosting a conversation with two authors we adore: Dean Spade and Kai Cheng Thom! Join online to discuss how we can be the change we want to seeβboth out in the world, and in our closest connections. Dean's new book "Love in a F*cked-Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell Together" is a resounding call to action and a practical manifesto for how to combat cultural scripts and take our relationships into our own hands.
This event is also a fundraiser for families in Gaza and attendees are asked to make a donation in lieu of ticket cost. Live ASL interpretation will be provided.
Register for this virtual event and find your copy of "Love in a F*cked-Up World" at https://firestorm.coop/events/3339-hooking-up-raising-hell-a-conversation-with-dean-spade-and-kai-cheng-thom.html. Can't make the live event? Sign up anyway, pitch in on the fundraiser if you can, and we'll send you a recording of the event to stream at your convenience!

I remember this hitting the news. I remember how gut wrenchingly horrifying it was.
This is why we have to push back against bigotry & intolerance wherever we see it. We have to stand united and VOTE against anyone who would try to enshrine any kind of bigotry and hate into law.
And if anyone wants to say something about making Matthewβs death political, I cordially invite you to go fuck yourself. #ThePersonalIsPolitical #FuckBigotry #LGBTQ #LoveIsLove #LGBTQIA #NoHate https://mastodon.world/@jeffowski/113263448935022209
Attached: 1 image On the night of October 6, 1998, Matthew met Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson at the Fireside Lounge in Laramie, Wyoming. McKinney and Henderson decided to give Shepard a ride home. They subsequently drove the car to a remote, rural area, and proceeded to rob, pistol-whip, and torture Shepard, tie him to a fence, and leave him to dieβall because he was gay. #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA #Trans #MatthewShepard
Yup, I know the feeling. Being on Mastodon does that to us, doesn't it. We talk about food and music and poetry, and without planning it we realise that our politics toots became rarer and rarer.
We must hope that the things we post about food and music and poetry ultimately contribute to creating a better world. "The personal is political", as your buddy John Mastodon once said.
"Electric Marronage is a digital site, events, and workshop series that showcases scholarly, political, creative and personal work that engages with themes of fugitivity, escape, survival (inside and outside the academy), βworlds/otherwise,β βBlack femme freedom,β and decolonizing diaspora studies."
