I think it amazes them too 😂

There's antifascism@midwest.social which looks relevant

"Your face doesn't match how you say you feel"

Work is being extra difficult today. It's not at the point where I'm in danger of burning out, but I'll sure be glad when I clock off for the day.

I'm not in the US but recently met someone who is, and they made a great point about nurturing and supporting the communities/groups you're already in. Whether you meet physically or virtually, spend time with and be present for each other.

As for finding a community, one of the things that has really worked for me is finding a local hardcore punk music venue and going to shows there. Even if you're not into the music, the chances are good that the people in that scene are inclusive of queer, trans, neurodiverse and disabled identities.

Edit: I was in a bit of a hurry in my original reply. I want to add that I hope you're safe, and that you are able to find support, love and hope through your community. I once saw a tshirt with the slogan "QUEER LOVE DESTROYS FASCISM" and I keep holding onto that thought to get me through dark days.

Yay congrats! ❤️

Hope you manage to get a ticket today! I managed to pick up 2 standing for Manchester, UK.

If you haven't yet, sign in to Ticketmaster now (they've been asking people to update their password) and update your payment details so when the tickets go onsale you'll have all that done already.

My closest one is Manchester, UK on a Tuesday. Looks like I'm taking 2 days off of work for this one.

They used to be part of the same scene as Napalm Death, and played some of the same shows.

I've only recently seen one of these for the first time, in Bristol. I know they're not rare but I was still ridiculously excited.

They never stand still so these are great shots!
