hystericalqueen:
[reblob, plz?]
Hey y’all, so after many years of just trying to deal, I’m trying to raise money for transition-related costs in my life in hopes that I will be a lot less miserable in my body. I know that most of you have probably heard me be critical of people who ask for money for transitioning expenses on the internet, and in many ways this remains a contradiction...

So if you can get money to support queer and trans resistance projects, do it! Email us at notyrcisterpress[at]gmail.com if you have any options and we can figure something out.

Support Niara!
delicateheresy:
I received a short letter from Niara/Peaches today, and she’s in need of money for her commissary. Her mother is having money trouble right now and won’t be able to send her money. She currently doesn’t have any writing paper and is using a busted pen that is difficult to write with. So please, if you can, donate to her commissary. As she writes, “I like to think us queer folks...

From the essay: “Insurrectionary anarky is explicit social violence against government and the totality of civilization, whoever the enemy, whatever the consequences. The faga militia has not come to do non-violence; it has come to do violence. It exploded on the prison yards in acts of bloody violence: fags fighting the enemy with knives, fighting guards, being shot by prison gunmen,...

Verdict Delivered in NC Kings Case →
“More than half of the kings who pleaded not-guilty to RICO are exonerated. They are now — or will soon be — free. It’s clear that the government brought a weak, frivolous, and insubstantial case. With time, help, rigor, and expertise, it will become clear that each of the three remaining men is innocent. This case is not over. Invincible love to everyone who has supported the kings so...
Please don't just mourn today
virulentflowers:
Write to Amazon and CeCe or throw some money to support Gender Anarky.
Also, as friends have said, “there is nothing we could do short of collectively interrupting this rhythm and destroying gender in its entirety that will ease our heavy hearts.” Destroy what destroys you.
