#QTPOC

Calling all my artist friends with open #commissions!

I’ve had a podcast in the works for MONTHS now, and I finally want to start making moves. So, I’m looking for a logo / cover art. :ablobfoxbongo:​ #qtpoc artists who reach out take priority, but I’m here for anyone who’s willing to help. :blobfoxessnuggles:​

This #BlackHistoryMonth (or frankly any other month of the year) one of our recommended watches is 'My Name is Pauli Murray'.

Jazzie Collins was a Black, trans, HIV+ woman. Her campaigning and organizing highlights the way in which so many of our struggles are linked. Jazzie campaigned on economic inequality, housing issues, disability rights and trans rights.

The struggles always have and always will be linked. Be like Jazzie and take action against inequality.

"When you are shown to the world as you are – and that are is a racialised, gender-nonconforming, trans (or whatever word you may want to use) person – the idea of no future reverberates back to you..But then, you find the art of others like you...That in itself is a utopia."

Question of the month and we want to hear from our Black trans siblings.
What do you want white trans people to know?
What do you want cis people to know?
And who is your Black trans icon?

There's a lot we can learn from history. That's worth watching this lecture from Dr Stephanie Davis on Histories of Trans and Queer People of Colour Resistance in the UK.

(The sound is crackly in places, but it's worth sticking with it or watching on mute with subtitles instead if that would work for you)

Greetings upon all who see this message! eva here, admin of BlackQueerLife.

A little over a month ago, when I started this server, a number of people were asking me if they could donate to help pay for server costs. To those who were curious: you now can! We have an account with Open Collective where you can make tax-deductible donations on a recurring or one-time basis. This would allow us to cover server costs, pay to have mods so it's not just me running the place, have a translate button, upgrade the server, etc.

The link is: https://opencollective.com/blackqueerlife

I wish we had been able to come out with this right away rather than waiting several weeks, but I chose Open Collective because I have seen multiple orgs online and off blow up due to lack of transparency where funds are involved. Open Collective allows transparency and openness about how and why funds are spent. I think taking the extra time is worth what we've gotten.

I have always said that I want to run BlackQueerLife the right way, and I think Open Collective is the best way forward for us. Any boosts and/or donations would be thoroughly appreciated!

Hello Fediverse! I am coming before you all today to promote my new instance: blackqueer.life! You may have seen my post on my old account about it a few weeks back. I wanted to wait until I finished migrating my old account over here, got the instance up and running to where I wanted it, etc before promoting it fully.

We all know Fedi isn't always kind to Black users, doubly so for Black queers. My instance represents my attempt to continue the amazing work some folks are doing in the Fediverse to make these platforms more accessible and safer for all users, ESPECIALLY marginalized folks.

When I joined the fediverse, the first thing I was searching for almost from the beginning was an instance dedicated to or centering Black queer people explicitly. While there are a few amazing communities like that out there, many of them are either not federating, offering limited federation only, or are currently closed to new users.

This allows them to have much greater control over the content their users are exposed to, which I have tremendous respect and appreciation for. Hell, I've got alts in some of those places!

However. As a newcomer to Fedi, it was not overly easy for me to find these places and gain access, which I recognize is somewhat by design. Limited or no federation meant the only way to locate them was by word of mouth and extensive research.

This is where BlackQueerLife comes in. I want to build a place where Black queer, trans, and GNC folks can feel safe making a home while also being able to venture out into the rest of the fediverse. I want somewhere they can use as a landing pad. I want as many multiply marginalized Black folks off of corporate hellsites like Twitter and Bluesky as possible. We are not safe being corporate playthings.

Most importantly, I want every Black queer person who joins Fedi to know that they have somewhere they can go. I don't expect that all would necessarily want to join, but I want all Black queer fedizens to know that they are welcome to.

So if you see this, please boost this post to spread the word. If you already boosted the other posts that have gone out about this instance, no pressure. Thanks so much!

Healthcare isn't trans inclusive unless it is also anti-racist.

"Providing better care to BPOC trans patients, eliminating bias and discrimination within the healthcare system is really important for the community. This can involve implementing culturally competent care and addressing disparities in access to care. " Lolade

Here's a quick #introduction :)

You can call me Sine! I'm black, nonbinary, and I really, really love fruit smoothies. I use they/them pronouns exclusively! I've been in school for the past four years for a variety of things [mostly of the tech and writing variety], but I'm now taking some time off to work because school is expensive!!! Currently, I do repairs for electric vehicles for a living, and I love it a lot. Once I get back in with school, I'll be graduating with a degree in robotics.

Online, my interests are writing, reading, roleplaying, electronic music, playing FFXIV, 3D modelling, and creating HTML/CSS/Javascript codes for my friends and I to use on Dreamwidth. I'm hoping to get published in a science-fiction literary magazine this year if I stop myself from slacking... here's to hoping! <3

Reflecting on Twitter, White Flight, & “Quote Tweet” Tensions at Mastodon by @hildabast@mastodon.online

https://absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2022/12/01/reflecting-on-twitter-white-flight-quote-tweet-tensions-at-mastodon/ #quotetoots #qt #qtbipoc #qtpoc #qrt #quotetweets # #quoteboosts

i think the only way to explain why #trans people are so uncomfortable with QTs and why many of us want to avoid features many #POC are saying are needed for their needs to be met is JK Rowling

i'd really like to hear from #QTPOC on QT and what their experiences were like and i'm really grossed out by how often in these conversations i see men talk about the #trans community as this alien white thing separate from their community

i am v grateful for the recent $50 donation to my survival fund (https://gofund.me/726f3e85) 🥹 but i still need to raise $14,399 more in order to reach my goal.

pls consider helping by donating &/or sparing a a few moments to reblog my crowdfunding posts ♡

any & all donations + boosts are welcome & greatly appreciated! i have a cashapp too if that’s easier, $jazzafraz

aaaand here’s a selfie dump of three silly 4-selfie collages i took an hr or two ago playing w/some of the light filters on B612
fake smiles of a true borderline gal/survivor 🤪

to be fair tho, the whole day wasn’t 100% awful. towards the end, i was able to facetime w/my 14yo queerean bb sib & help her w/makeup (for the first time 😭). i also found out that they made an IG which def made my millennial ass feel old & i looked at old photos of us together when she was younger while listening to ‘landslide’ so 😂

then after that, i got to catch up w/my chosen fam 24yo queerean sib (who’s also disabled ♡) via facetime for over 5hrs 🤣 but in our defense, he was away for an academic conference in japan & only recently returned!
lol but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ oh the life of a disabled queerean gal.

Seeing a lot of content about the marginalisation and oppression of #POC and especially #qtpoc on this platform and it certainly doesn’t inspire me with confidence. However not sure where to turn to to make sure that I don’t end up in a #WhiteLiberal bubble. If someone can point me in the direction of some good servers and/or users I can follow so that my feed doesn’t turn into an echo chamber that would be awesome.
