We are the 99 percent. We are getting kicked out of our homes. We are forced to choose between groceries and rent. We are denied quality medical care. We are suffering from environmental pollution. We are working long hours for little pay and no rights, if we’re working at all. We are getting nothing while the other 1 percent is getting everything. We are the 99 percent.

“Girls my size always get crap for it. It’s hard work every single day to keep that pervasive attitude out of your heart. At some point, I just didn’t bother thinking about the people who couldn’t see past it, and decided to focus instead on where my body and I are limitless. Sure, I can’t squeeze into a size 2, but I can dance up a storm and I am the softest to cuddle.”
Want.
Gorgeous.

Auntie Pixelante sez:
i thought i was over caring about the michigan womyn’s music festival – a “women-born-women”-only festival on the basis of some arbitrary essentialist standard. but today i found out that a “michfest” blog posted a list of trans women who, despite the vitriol, discrimination and hatred they face at such an event, are brave enough to attend or have attended. they list includes photos, names – legal names, birth names, stage names – places where the woman might be found. aside from making public personal information and outing these women against their will, it’s a call to harass and intimidate a group of women who are already a target for violence in america.
naturally, the blogger who posted this list identifies herself as a feminist. which begs the question: what kind of feminism advocates the targeting of women for harassment and violence?
obviously i was fucking pissed off at having to interrupt work on my new game to have to worry about the safety of fellow transwomen at the hands of self-identified “radical feminists.” so i took a four hour break to make this game about defending the land from trans wolves in womyn’s clothing. (it took four hours because i made it in stencyl.) it’s a FIND THE HIDDEN OBJECT game. the hidden object is a penis. (there’s no violence or slurs in the game, if you have a hard time dealing with that stuff. but this is a game about transmisogyny, and we should all have a hard time dealing with that stuff.)
The game is really hard, you guys! I haven’t found the penis yet, but I AM STILL TRYING, BY JOVE!
I am now envisioning a Rogue Penis stalking the countryside, sort of like a self-propelled cannon using balls as wheels. It’s terrifying. Wait…
“Rogue Penis”…
“Rogue Penis Game”…
“Rogue Penis Game” = “RPG”
MIND. BLOWN. (so to speak)
(I wouldn’t put that thing on your shoulder.)

BreakOut! Fighting the Criminalization of LGBTQ Youth in New Orleans, LA
“BreakOUT! organizes LGBTQ youth ages 13-24 who are most impacted by the criminal justice system through weekly “Building Our Power” meetings. In the first section, youth build off of knowledge and experiences they already have through a curriculum that includes workshops on LGBTQ Radical History, Gendered Police Repression and History of the Prison Industrial Complex, Racism and Oppression 101, and other social justice issues that affect their daily lives.
Once youth complete the first part of the “Building Our Power” series, they learn ways to confront these issues in their lives by further developing their organizing skills, including learning about Campaign Development, Base Building, Power Mapping, Developing and Implementing Strategies, and more. The curriculum is flexible depending on youth’s interests and campaign progress.”
