@Followerpower Ich bräuchte für einen Blogbeitrag ein schönes Bild - ohne Personen - einer LGBTQ+ Fahne. Digital art, wehende Fahne... Egal. Hauptsache ich darf sie (gerne ccbysa) auf meinem Blog als Artikelbild für einen Artikel benutzen auf dem ich mich positionieren möchte gegen den faschistischen Wahnsinn der grad in der Welt um sich greift...

Anyone on here who lives in or near the Henrico area of Virginia: I'm sending out my Small Market News today. It's a newsletter specifically and narrowly focused on the events I'm vending at as The Scribbling Lion Bookstore, and the new books in stock.

Why do you care? Because I hunt down quality books by small press and self published authors, and lean heavily into LGBTQ+ friendly titles and events.

Even if you don't live in the area, you might just find a book to serve as a #BeautifulDistraction! Here's the website, which is where you'll find the sign up link and online store:

Please call your Member of Congress today.

H.R. 28 – Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025 is scheduled for hearing on Tuesday, January 14.

Republicans will not stop here. They are normalizing discussion of trans athletes and will continue with their attack on #lgbtq_plus healthcare, legal recognition and public accomodations.

Do not give ground. Do not capitulate.

The Queer Guide to Finding a Fediverse Server.

lemmy.blahaj.zoneThe Queer Guide to Finding a Fediverse Server. - Blåhaj LemmyJoining the fediverse can be a daunting proposition, and it is understandable that many end up on larger more centralised servers that are easier to find. I have also had some bad experience with smaller servers also. The first one I arrived on was very quiet, almost inactive, and I should have taken that as a warning sign. Later it went down and I had to join another. Unfortunately the next server was mastodon.lol and so within a year I had to deal with the drama of that one shutting down. At least this time I had six months notice to migrate. But bigger servers have their own pitfalls. It is easy to get lost in them, being disconnected from the admins. Many are poorly moderated and willing to federate with problematic instances that increase your chances of encountering more explicit forms ablism, racism and queerphobia. And in recent weeks we have seen the willingness of these larger servers to connect to a new service made by Meta, Facebooks parent company, with the onslaught of bigotry that will bring. So whether you are thinking of joining the fediverse, or are already here but thinking of either migrating or forming other accounts, this guide is for you. It is also for you to share to queer friends that want to join. Feel free to expand on this list with suggestions in replies. I will try and keep it up to date with which instances are open/invite only, if people can help me notice. ## Microblogging (Twitter like interfaces) ### Mastodon The most popular microblogging software on the fediverse. Good app support #### Currently open to new members - https://chaos.social [https://chaos.social] (two admins, one a polyam lesbian) - https://queer.af [https://queer.af] (run by Erin who helped draft the ActivityPub protocol the fediverse depends on. I think she is a German trans woman? I might be remembering wrong. Will edit if someone clarifies. NOTE: the .af domain is Afganistan, and these domains will no longer be available to register or reregister, so this instance will likely end up with a new domain name in the near future.) - https://toot.lgbt [https://toot.lgbt] (run by Julia, a Scottish trans woman) - https://plush.city [https://plush.city] (run by nonbinary and pan/bi furries) - https://anarres.family [https://anarres.family] (run by anarchist trans woman inspired by sci-fi of Ursula le Guin) - https://girlcock.club [https://girlcock.club] (run by trans women for trans people) - https://eightpoint.app [https://eightpoint.app] (run by trans bi lesbian) - https://lgbtqia.space [https://lgbtqia.space] - https://chaosfem.tw [https://chaosfem.tw] (trans admin) - https://towns.gay [https://towns.gay] - https://dragonscave.space [https://dragonscave.space] (mod team includes admins who are enby, ace, agender, visually impaired) - https://toot.cat [https://toot.cat] (trans admin) - https://pagan.plus [https://pagan.plus] (its primarilly for pagans, but admin is agender) - https://tech.lgbt [https://tech.lgbt] (for lgbt people in tech) - https://peoplemaking.games [https://peoplemaking.games] (admin is bi and genderfluid, but server is for those involved in making games) #### Invite only You might need to network with admins or users of the following instances to get an invite - https://weirder.earth [https://weirder.earth] (all LGBT admin team that includes nonbinary, bi, aroace, queer, transfemme representation, many also adhd, autistic and one light skinned black) - https://goblin.camp [https://goblin.camp] (admin is pan enby) - https://queer.group [https://queer.group] (run by bisexual lesbian and trans lesbian) - https://queer.party [https://queer.party] (the admin is a nonbinary, gay, and polyamorous furry) ### Sharkey Can use Mastodon and Misskey apps to connect.
