So he doesn't support trans equality

Donate to Needing help., organized by Gary Thomas My name is Gary. My position with my previous job was dissolved and I ended up without work. I'm still in th… Gary Thomas needs your support for Needing help.

I'm not the best at asking for help so I probably will only post this the one time. gofund.me/3bb54ea98 On the side I'm also offering to try my hand at drawing sonas (for donations) for those interested because that is helping my drawing ability too.

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.

Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

Artists, friends, start figuring out other websites if this is your only one

"For the next phase of my career, I look forward to some independence and finding new spaces to share my work in line with my personal goals."

Another CBS News journalist leaving and talking about independence. Bit of a not-so-subtle hint at what's happening over there.

So, for whatever they're worth, here are my thoughts:

1. DON'T PANIC. DON'T TRY TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE PANIC BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE DOING SOMETHING

Scaring ppl away from activism & organizing by raising vague concerns about surveillance is not helpful. Take a breath, listen to experts. Don't panic.

2. DON'T GET OVERWHELMED. TAKE A FEW SMALL STEPS TO PROTECT YOURSELF RIGHT NOW.

It's easy to get bogged down with guides & settings and conflicting advice. But don't get stuck. If nothing else:

-Use Signal with disappearing messages
-Use a 10+ digit passcode, not Face ID or thumb
-Delete old email

3. RESISTING SURVEILLANCE IS NOT AN INDIVIDUAL PROJECT, IT'S A COLLECTIVE ONE

There are concrete steps that people and organizations can take to protect themselves from government surveillance and repression. But we also need to organize to dismantle the surveillance state. Action over fear.

4. LISTEN TO AND LEARN FROM EXISTING ANTI-SURVEILLANCE GROUPS

It's great so many people and orgs are becoming aware of surveillance. But awareness is not the same as having a strategy. Learn from orgs like @conmijente.bsky.social @mediajustice.bsky.social who have been doing this work for years

5. MOST ANTI-SURVEILLANCE WORK IS LOCAL

Sorry folks, we're not gonna pass a Federal anti-surveillance law or stop Palantir from building spy weapons by boycotting them (they are not consumer facing). At least not right now. Plug in with local folks fighting Flock, Ring, fusion centers, etc.

GUYS american guys PLEASE
See this if you dont wanna get drafted

Do this is you are of age for the draft still - but do it as well if you are currently IN the military. Please. No matter what they tell you, NOTHING they can offer you in return will give you back what you lose when you take a life - especially not an innocent one.

I guess this is the only other option I have at the moment...

I'm asking for donations to help me a little bit while I search for a new job. I've been relentlessly putting in applications for work while working on art as much as I can, but I'm falling behind heavily... (1/2)

Reposting this always, forever, every time.

There are plenty of valid discussions to have about various practices within the porn industry, but if someone talks about "porn addiction" as if it's real, that is your cue to not take their opinion seriously.

Hey, so...I just got laid off from my job.

To be honest, it hurts more than anything has ever hurt in my entire life. It is by far my favorite job I have ever had, and I was laid off by complete bad luck.

Please help me out by spreading the word that I'm looking for work in the Seattle area.

Forgot to update everyone on how the YCH went! Thank you to the two people that went ahead and commissioned me for this YCH! This was a test-run to see if anyone was interested in these types of commissions, since I haven't had many regular commissions lately...

Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman

Former Pixar employee u/PixelatedRonin fires back at chief creative officer Pete Docter on Reddit over claims on LGBT storyline cut from 'Elio' (2025):

My hottest take is that the fact most people don’t know Weird Al collabed with Wend Carlos on a new electronic version of Peter and the Wolf and a addendum to Carnival of the Animals w/ new animals is actually one of modern society’s greatest crimes

Bebe Barron

Wendy Carlos

Daphne Oram

Laurie Spiegel

These remarkable women of early electronic music pushed the boundaries of technology and composition, turning circuits, sine waves, and tape loops into music. https://disc.gs/3ZWRk1U

🧵
It's International Women's Day, so I'm starting a thread to celebrate female composers of music for film and other visual media.
I'll add to it later today and throughout March, Women's History Month.
All rise ...

The influence of pioneer Wendy Carlos and her film compositions for A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, THE SHINING and TRON are felt to this day.
Electronic music in film and TV is now commonplace, and composers often look to Carlos' work as the benchmark.
The GOAT.
