Trump's idea of banning Pride flags is part of a broader pattern of oppression.

First Trump wants to monopolize the use of the American flag, in essence saying that right wing nationalists are the only true Americans.

Hey! It's activisting time!

This is our first press appearance for the campaign to get Zara into Canada. She's a Black trans woman from the US, came here with her husband, but he turned out to not be what she needed in a partner, and she found herself needing to leave.

She's looking for temporary housing in Vancouver, so if you're in that area, or have reliably not-racist friends there who might have room, we'd be very grateful to hear about that lead. While there are many shelters, every single one (we've contacted them all) has a wait list of at least months.

So if you can please boost this post hard, and if you can donate to our fundraiser (also listed below), we'd be hugely grateful, and we can carry on hoping to kick the door open into Canada for US trans folk.

My name is Cait Glasson; I've been an activist for 30+ years in Canada for trans and queer spaces. You can Google that name - all the results are me, unless they're a 12-year-old in Australia, who is the only other person sharing my name on the planet. We should be fairly distinguishable. I'm 59, fat, white, and old, with green hair and a side shave.

She's 12, and speaks Strine natively.

If you can't access PayPal, or don't want to, you can absolutely donate through me personally, and I will direct it to the fundraising account so you can see that it arrived there. Personally, I can accept Interac (in Canada), Wise, and am willing to look at other options if you need them. For that access, DM me here, or reach me on Signal at oldladyplays.11.

If you are able to spread the links to other platforms, that'd be like super magic wonder twin powers.

Thanks, my friends. Fly, my pretties!

Inspired by the fountain pen community, here is another little Heribert comic. About how it's nice to share and friends are precious.

@domo An update on this, there are various non 'j' 'jimmy' accounts at this point.
This has been confirmed to me by a trusted report of ip matches between a jimmy account and one of these alts.

The spreadsheet stays updated with these other alt accounts

The ones that are already suspended on their resp. instances are marked, so you don't need to bother with those anymore.

See post above for more info about this situation. #fediblock

Deutschland kippt gerade bei der Chatkontrolle. Sollte sie kommen, wird staatlicherseits alles mitgelesen, was du in dein Telefon tippst und automatisiert auf bestimmte Stichwörter hin gescannt. Apps, die dabei nicht mitmachen, würden in der EU illegal. Der EU-Rat entscheidet am 14. Oktober.
