Linux sysadmin and tech support squirrel in their 30s. From Germany, now living in the Netherlands.

Belongs to @cotta, please return when lost.

I'm not a fan of telling minors not to interact at all since we have CWs here, but I do request that minors leave stuff tagged as explicit alone.

Additionally, I'm making an effort to only boost media that at least attempt having a useful description.

Today, the U.S. government shut down the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s support option for LGBTQ+ youth.

It’s now up to private organizations to step up and offer the empathy and compassion that our government once provided.

For the rest of the month, I’m donating 50% of everything omg.lol earns to The Trevor Project’s Emergency Lifeline Campaign.

I've passed a major threshold in my life just now:

Someone in my online furry social spaces is being targeted by ICE via reports from some piece of shit collaborator.

It is very much a case of harassment of a legal, domestically born US Citizen. If you know resources to help deter ICE collaborators, please pass them on to me discretely.

I will make available to others anything that can help mobilize assistance for victims and deterrence for offenders.

Thank you.

The Bishopsgate Institute are taking @porsupah's fursuit for their archives. It would be lovely if anyone involved in #furry communities with her wanted to share any memories and history to donate with it. DM me if you want to contribute

From my local WhatsApp group:

The Welsh Government are doing a consultation on its pro-trans schools policy. UK Gender Critical activists are upset and are trying to brigade it to push it in an anti-trans direction. Please fill out the consultation to try to reinforce the pro-trans stance.

The deadline is 31 July 2025.

NB: Please only respond if you live in Wales! If you don't but want to help, please boost this and share it on other social networks. Thank you. ✨

@transmasc @trans Do you have recommendations for tattoo artist that do medical tattoos for nipple reconstruction not too far away from Trier (e.g. in Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, Luxembourg or Grand Est)? They should have worked with trans patients before and speak German or English.

Disclaimer: I'm asking here now. I'm doing that for a reason. Please don't tell me to just ask on Discord or Reddit instead.

Boosts appreciated.

I've been slowly growing more frustrated with the process of getting bottom surgery in the Netherlands, and would love to know more about surgeons in Spain. I hear if I pay myself I won't have to wait multiple years, and I figure I owe it to myself to at least investigate if that's a path I want to pursue.

Usually I'd look at reddit.com/r/transgendersurgeries, but it says the subreddit is locked due to a lack of moderation.

Does anyone know of anywhere else I can go to look up people's experiences with specific surgeons?
