hate to be that guy but I was in another car accident. So here's my new comm sheet, hella cheap for some full renders!

I send the sketch for confirmation, and then full payments are done through PayPal and Cashapp. I'm pretty flexible so don't be afraid to be specific and/or ask questions. My DMS are open :3

Me when I'm old as fuck and my grandkids talk to me: this reminds me of a post. I gotta go find the post

Grandkids: grandpa sit down you don't need to show us a post

Me: (not listening) Now where was that post....

DB Cooper mystery solved: he survived and used the money to start the film website "IMDb" (I am DB)

Is there a name for uhhh… how you spend years picturing your adult life a certain way but then by the time you’re actually grown up the world has changed so much that the adulthood you dreamt of no longer exists

Too much movement makes your joints hurt and too little movement also makes your joints hurt. This would imply that there's an optimal amount of movement that allows your joints to not hurt. This is a lie.

i would like a hug…. JUST KIDDING! i would like TWO hugs. (suddenly becomes cold and standoffish) i don’t need anything or anyone and i don’t want to talk about it.

Those of you following for a while will know I'm very passionate about transfeminism and prison abolition. I want to bring up an issue that is at the intersection of these: the horrific treatment of trans women in New Jersey, United States prisons.

Here are some headlines from the past few years:

In each of these articles, a trans woman named Gia Abigaill Valentina has been desperately trying to get people to help her.

Her words in the 2023 article: “There is no programming for the transgender women here. The only counseling provided is routine mental health services, in which someone from mental health comes around every two weeks. In this lock down unit I am made to stay in my cell for 23 hours a day. I am allowed out for kiosk and shower.”

Her words in the July 2024 article: “When you asked me what my typical day looked like, they [really] don’t differ from day to day when it comes to dealing with my mental anguish of not getting my vaginoplasty surgery (having this ‘thing’ still on my body) and being in this men’s prison. The moment I wake up I am faced with having this penis! It’s a brutal reminder of how I am being held captive in this body that is not mine. Then I have to face all the discrimination, transphobia, misgendering, all the weirdos, perverts, creeps. This is the worst I have ever had it and the highest level of trans discrimination I have ever faced... I am supposed to be next for surgery. I wish I was confident in the broken system, but I am not. We shall see how things unfold.”

Her words in the December 2024 article: "Emotionally, they have broken my spirit to feel because of no treatment at all and they keep me locked in a cell 23 and a half hours a day. My fear of being raped or sexually assaulted overrides any type of emotion I could possible have. Each day all I can do is survive the day locked in my room. I can honestly express with truth and sincerity that I have never in my life encountered or felt such discrimination, hatred, and transphobic opposition as I have experienced since coming out here in the NJDOC”

The TransFeminist Revolutionary Liberation Front (TFRLF) was started by Gia Abigaill Valentina, to free transfem prisoners.

This group of incarcerated transfems and those on the outside in solidarity have put together a toolkit to free Gia!

You can access it on cryptpad using the link: bit.ly/Clemency4Gia

This toolkit includes zines to print and social media graphics to share. They also include a list of specific contacts (phone numbers and email) and a script you can use for what to say.

Here is the central information I want to make sure you read so you understand the call to action:

NJ Governor Phil Murphy's term ends in January. He has granted clemency for 200 people during his term. He has the ability to grant clemency for Gia Valentina before the end of his term.

We can demand that Gia is freed immediately. But we have to do it fast. Time is of the essence.

If you live in the United States, and especially if you live in New Jersey, I strongly urge you to prioritize writing some emails and making some phone calls.

Get a group of friends together for it. Or schedule an hour of your day for it. Just find a way to get over the hurdle of starting. It's important.

Thank you <3
