Another thing you can do - and this isn't possible for everyone but the opportunity can arise for anyone - is refuse to be interviewed by any NYT reporter and explain it's because you don't trust they will report fairly and accurately due to their trans coverage.
I strongly support people cancelling subs.
They can also read and share media criticism (like mine, TransLash, Erin Reed, etc), they can write in to complain even if they've already canceled, they can tell their family and friends and slow down and explain the whole thing to the. Plenty of stuff.
It's just that awful red-purple-green blotchy combo that looks so much like the model's upper arm has been used for target practice by an enthusiastic airsofter
Sticker Mule is both A) A more expensive option and B) Run by a trophy-hunting, Trump-worshiping Qultist. You have other options! Check this spreadsheet!
(And while we're at it: ditch U-LINE. Also unfathomably awful people.)
all I had to do was click on one sticker ad on IG and suddenly my feed was full of other sticker ads. I clicked on them all and did the math for you. The best small-run samples pricing is at SlapCo; best overall pricing is at Sticker Cyborg or Sticker OG Factory. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Yeah, that's just gonna incentivise me to hide my work from the world, since I'll no longer need it to survive & I can't guarantee it won't be used by bad actors.
Because money is a massive part of it, yes, but copyright does not only cover who can financially benefit from something (though I will come back to this in a second).
It also covers derivative works! And you know what? I do not want fucking nazis to take my books and turn them into racist screeds.
Puberty blockers.
Cass didn’t suggest a ban.
Outgoing Con minister did it anyway (no parliamentary scrutiny).
But *only for trans kids*.
Wes Streeting intends to make the ban permanent.
Since NHS England discontinued their use in 2020, 16 trans kids under NHS care have taken their own lives.
I'm low to middle end. All my imagination is in concepts, not clear pictures. When I picture an apple it's constantly morphing and changing shape and perspective and I can only see a tiny bit of it at once. It hasn't stopped me from creating.
