Another month another set of hollow promises about having our rent covered from people that could do so easily. I'm gonna delete my other fundraising post because its more important that we get rent covered. We're two disabled trans women (and a silly cat) building a new internet, please help us survive

When you're young, instilled ideas can feel a lot like instincts. That's part of the reason it is so vital for queer youth to be connected to queer elders. The process of unlearning queerphobia is a lifelong journey, and it can't be taken alone. There have to be people who are challenging you to grow, people who can look at what you are doing and know the history behind the first response. Knowing even recent queer history provides so much context and can unveil closely held beliefs to be rooted in bigotry.
Intergenerational connections within the queer community are necessary and worth fighting to find.

in the oncology center rn getting my infusions done and the other people in her are all undergoing chemo and not a single staff member is masked. this is beyond outrageous it’s downright bleak. even if we ignore covid should staff not be masked around chemo patients?? BLEAK!!!

i just found out tumblr was storing over three GIGABYTES of cookies on my device without me knowing and that's why it's been running so fucking slow recently... incredible. anyways everyone go clear your fucking cookies. don't let this website run a goddamn video game's worth of disc space in the background for no good reason.

PSA: the guardian is not working on a hit piece on diy hrt, and claims they are are misinformation
tl;dr: claims that the guardian's Susanna Rustin is writing a piece on diy hrt and contacting trans people for comment is false.
on the 18th, this post appeared on 4chan's /lgbt/ (slurs in thread: link). a screenshot was posted to reddit, then to tumblr. you've probably seen it:
today, the 23rd, another screenshot popped up on various discord servers, then was reposted variously to twitter. it shows a supposed email from guardian journalist and notorious TERF Susanna Rustin, claiming as the original 4chan post does.
it's now been shared around, and it's with good intentions. the message is useful: don't share your personal information or medical data with journalists, especially ones that happen to be TERFs.
but the post does this through misinformation and fearmongering. i'm still waiting on my response by email from Rustin, but she's reiterated twice (once, twice) that she did not write the email and is not working on such a story. on the 19th, i talked to other guardian newsroom journalists, who said they also did not know of a story's existence.
the moral of the story: this is misinformation, and it's dangerous. it spreads a fine message here, but it does it through spreading anxiety and terror.
you can follow along with this post on my parallel thread on twitter. also calling on @wakewithgiggli to delete their original post!
