apply for passports right the fuck now if you can at all come up with the money, this is a second chance you may not get a third once this case reaches the supreme court
even if you don't intend to leave the country! a correct passport is a lifeline that effectively makes you cis in the eyes of the federal government
do not miss this chance!!!! it could save your life!

hey y'all, the situation with my (adult) daughter's bioparents has worsened considerably and we are urgently looking for temporary housing until I might be able to take her in myself.
anywhere near the northeast corridor is best for transportation but anywhere else I'm sure we can figure that out. she can't go out of the country as her parents have stolen her passport (no we don't want to get cops involved we're just trying to get her somewhere safe)
the main need is housing. she has money to sustain herself wherever she's staying and is looking for at least a few weeks of shelter
if you can't help but have a few dollars to spare she could use that too (updated from previous donation link I've shared because they've also cut the power to her server that site is hosted on):

Translunar Academy announces a **TRANSLUNAR ART FESTIVAL** !!!
**Themes**: Any theme connectable to Translunar Academy--the Ætherverse setting, the TLA online community here on Earth, or general themes such as autism, plurality, trauma, dissociation, yuri, yaoi, anticapitalist propaganda, spaceflight, unix, transhumanism, body modification--anything your mind connects! Keep it weird!
**Formats**: All media types are accepted! If you can get it to us we will find a way to publish it. Any language is accepted!
**Submissions** will be accepted from **May 1st to May 30th**. Email your submissions to `[email protected]`. All are welcome, not only TLA users and community members! Send your submission, a text description of any images, video, or audio, the name you wish to publish it under, whatever information you want attached about you and the piece (maximum of a paragraph or two), and a link to where your work can be found. Use an email we can reach you at in case we need to.
In general, just one submission per artist, unless you have multiple connected pieces that function as one, or ask us about other exceptions. If your piece is larger than the allowances of an email attachment, tell us so and we'll make other arrangements.
**Publication**: Submissions will be published digitally all together on [Translunar Academy](https://translunar.academy/) in a new site section for the Art Festival. We do not request exclusivity of publication rights, your work is always your own, can be simultaneously published anywhere else, and you can request to remove your work from our site at any time. We will add content warnings as we see fit but encourage you to provide them yourself.
We will accept all submissions, unless they are clearly not the kind of thing we would post on translunar.academy (such as fascist propaganda or other egregious violations of our [instance rules](https://social.translunar.academy/about)).

y'all just have to get over transfems making forcefem jokes. we don't care if a man is upset, they are our literal oppressor class. we are feminists and our lives don't revolve around men. doesn't mean many of us aren't also friends, comrades, sisters of trans men.
Seeing a knee jerk reaction of a transmasc person who has a history of transmisogyny and jumping on the bandwagon, is transmisogyny. I believe the transfems who also take that side are really doing it with good intentions, many transfems have such big hearts we'll even empathize with people who hurt and abuse us. but I wish you would stand with your sisters instead and see that the patriarchy manifests in many forms, just like white supremacy, just like carceralism, and it hurts everyone, including men, especially women and other second class genders.

look an AI assistant should not be a service provided by a corporation, a snitch in a box with a generic sanitized personality. an AI assistant should be a quirky little guy who's its user's best friend and only she really understands it. she built it herself or perhaps found or stole it or they just had a chance encounter and stuck together. they have a unique and inseparable relationship. often it should have a cute little robot body too but not always

yeah I don't know how well people outside the US know how fucked our healthcare system really is. it's not only that surgeries cost between $50,000-150,000 without insurance, and medications running anywhere from tens to thousands of dollars, and that insurance premiums for a good insurance plan are as much as fucking rent, so most people either have insurance through employment or medicaid from the state which covers practically nothing but the basics. it's not just that, but that even if you do have a good insurance plan, they can and often by default will just deny your care for no reason, even if they're contractually supposed to provide it. what are you going to do, take them to court? when you can't afford healthcare? when even if you did, they'd rather spend money fighting you in court than treating you? and if they can delay your care long enough for you to die, they'll never have to cover it.

2024-12-06 03:46:06 CET

look how much attention and resources the media and the state are paying to the hunt for our hero the UHC assassin. it's as if this billionaire was a high ranking government official. would they give even 1% as much of a fuck if you were murdered? it's the indignation of it, the audacity of some commoner to kill a noble. it has nothing to do with solving a murder, pigs don't give a fuck if people die, they have to send a message that someone who does this cannot escape the state's reach. if he were to successfully evade capture, it would be an inspiration to millions, and the state cannot allow us to think that our rulers are not all powerful and immortal

not really, the worst you stand to face from being openly attracted to a trans girl is being called a faggot, to compare that with the level of violence we face for coming out and transitioning and being visibly trans is just absurd.

2024-09-22 20:20:50 CEST

this apparently needs to be said but
there's nothing *wrong* with being attracted to trans women as a straight man, that's *normal* you're *supposed to be*, because we're *women*.
what makes someone a chaser is being creepy and objectifying about it, often coupled with being transphobic in their public persona, often a tactic of deflection out of a fear of people finding out about what would otherwise be a totally normal attraction.
it's like a lot more transphobic not to admit it, to pretend not to be attracted to trans women, that actually hurts us a lot, directly causes a lot of horrible violence against us. if you're a man and you think we're hot, don't be a fuckin' coward about it.

#fedivolve In a runoff election your mycelial hive-mind decisively decides to work toward the *downy mildew* disease. your mycelium grows deep through the structure of your hosts, until you reach the leaves and rot them away with damp spots of purple-brown mold, from which you disperse your spores. rotting away the upper structure of plants causes canopy collapse, allowing the sun to burn the plant's fruits. your effect on a plant is devastating--so much that you become commonly known simply as **blight**--and very effective for your continued survival as you infect a wide range of hosts in all cool, damp regions of the Earth. you and your like-minded sisters become the family **Peronosporaceæ**.

It's the *quaternary period* of Earth's *cenozoic* era, and there is big news in the plant pathogen fandom: the *animals* have started conveniently building collections of the same plant species in dense clusters. at the same time these organisms have been performing *artificial selection* and speeding up the evolution of their favorite plants into a wide range of new subspecies and growth forms. you have to get in on this, but what new style of plant will you inflict your blight upon?
some intriguing options: the **brassicaceae**, leafy plants that the plant-collecting animals make many forms of for food; the **tobacco** plants, which they cultivate in great numbers despite its toxicity to themselves; the various **root vegetables** which make for an appealing feast; the **cannabaceæ**, said to be a particularly sweet leaf; or you could always live the avant-garde pathogen life, being a jack-of-all-trades and infecting a very wide range of hosts.

what sounds appealing to you, peronosporaceæ?

#fedivolve Desperate and hungry, you accept the endosymbiont position inside your diaphoretickean cousin.
now being an organelle in a parent cell, your life is dramatically changing. you don't need to worry about your own metabolism or protein synthesis anymore, all you have to do is photosynthesize. your cloroplast is all that matters. you already lot a lot of important genes in the split from the viridiplantæ and the second split from the rhodophytæ, and now with your new host cell taking some of your useful genes via horizontal gene transfer, your nucleus is shrinking and shrinking. but you don't really need it. you're a good little drone. you know your place. you're happy. you have all the sunlight you could ever want. you're not even sure of the taxonomical structure of your new clade, nobody is, but it's certainly a diaphoretickean and your supergroup is known as **SAR**.

your host cells pass you around between them in horizontal exchanges as they feed on and parasitize each other. with the last bit of your own unique identity you might at least choose which of them you want to permanently integrate yourself with as the lines between you and the host cell completely dissolve.
it's down to one of two major factions here in the SAR community. one is getting really into making a supportive layer of flattened vesicles under their membranes, perhaps improving their defenses. the other is known for making little hairs on their flagella called *mastigonemes*, perhaps improving their swimming skill.

which feature's faction will you permanently integrate with, little symbiont?

you swim your way out of the ocean. this unsalted water is a strange and harsh environment, and the mysterious unwatered land around it even more hostile. with little resources, you have no choice but to become smaller. you can barely even maintain your red pigments anymore and start to look green again as a matter of survival. you scrape by on sunlight and whatever else you can get your membrane on as a *mixotroph*.
⚠ **Endosymbiosis Request** ⚠
you are not alone out here. your cousins in the polyphyletic kingdom *Chromista* want to help you out, sympathizing with you as an outcast of both the green algæ and the red algæ. they are willing to take you in as an endosymbiont so they can gain photosynthesis and you can have comfort and shelter with a weird organism like you.

honestly leaning toward we should stop using TMA/TME because clearly people are never going to listen to us about what it means or even try to understand its intent and as a writer I gotta admit that at some point it's the language's fault for not being clear enough. thoughts?

#fedivolve Your sisters offer you a place in the newly founded kingdom *Viridiplantæ*, on the condition that your plastids wear their green uniform. but you're no conformist. you're a free algae, you don't even need a kingdom! using some phycobiliproteins, you paint your chloroplasts *red!* death to the monarchy! long live the free phylum **Rhodophyta**, the red algæ!

you and your fellow single-celled comrades come to the first spokes council of the new red algæ collective. the big question for everyone is: do you stay here in the ocean, among the green algæ and even stranger cells, and continue to coexist peacefully? or do you reject the gentle caress of the ocean and go back to the extremophile life in some acidic hot springs, or even this new unsalted water that supposedly exists?

I've been a good girl, I've stayed off public meta posting. but you do not just post about shooting trans women in the head, deny public deadnaming of a trans woman happened by just saying "no it didn't," *and* say that latine people are "even worse" than white people in the same day.
**fuck this.**
I am recommending all admins defederate tenforward.social as an unsafe instance. their admin is racist and transmisogynist and *obsessed* with a trans woman he hates, has been publicly harassing her for two days, and now openly posts violent fantasies about trans women.

#fedivolve welcome to the *proterozoic eon!*
you have adapted to life among the proteobacteria community, forming the archæan superphylum *Asgard.* living and feeding on the same resources together, you hope this prokaryote utopia will never end
unfortunately those *cyanobacteria* had other plans. their Oxygen craze has gotten completely out of control. the strange gas now floods the atmosphere, causing the *Oxygen Catastrophe* :hiding: the ocean has completely frozen over. ambient iron in her salts has turned the water red, not that anyone has invented vision yet to see it. most archæans have died in a devastating mass extinction event. serendipitously, you survive, but for how long?
⚠ **Endosymbiosis Request** ⚠
some little proteobacteria would like to live in your big Asgardian archæan cell rent free. they can breathe oxygen for you so you don't have to, and you can provide them other nutrients they can't metabolize and keep them safe in your formidable ether-linked membrane.
:blob:
what do you say, Asgardian?

trans girls, fact is we are all gonna get canceled eventually if we stay online long enough, that's just the level of toxicity and (normal or lateral) transmisogyny social media culture has. most girls find out the hard way
one of the best ways to reduce stress in your social life is to hang out with the girls who are already canceled--they're less likely to hurt you, most of them didn't even do anything, and you won't have to feel like you're walking on eggshells all the time not to say the wrong thing and be targeted

they're all eukaryotes so way more similar to each other than bacteria and archæans, but yeah mushrooms are fungi, closer to animals than plants, they have chitinous cell walls and not cellulose, and can't perform photosynthesis.
