NY Piffies! Senate Bill S2513 (also known as Cecilia’s Act, in remembrance of the sex work and trans rights activist Cecilia Gentili) is in the committee process!
Showing your support now makes it more likely the bill will be reported to the full senate for consideration! A similar bill introduced a few years ago did not make it past this stage.
If it ultimately passes, sex work between consenting adults will be decriminalized. This not only gives current sex workers avenues to exercise their rights to health and safety, but will also clear the criminal records of people who have been convicted under statutes repealed by the bill.

Summoning all New York Piffies - the Climate Change Superfund Act is on Governor Hochul's desk, and we need to pressure her to sign it! Click the link for an email template that will take less than a minute to send :-)
This is climate attribution legislation that will make fossil fuel corporations responsible for funding infrastructure projects in New York, allowing our communities to avoid, moderate, repair, and adapt (in that particular order) to the impacts of the climate crisis. These projects will take shape in a variety of forms, from coastal wetland rehabilitation, storm drainage systems, and more resilient public transportation networks to medical care to treat injury or illness caused by the climate crisis and more. It's a groundbreaking extension of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) which made corporations responsible for the cleanup of superfund sites contaminated with toxic waste.
Aaaand just in case she doesn't sign it, there is a sit in being planned for December 10th at her office in Albany!

alamo drafthouse illegally laid off 70 NYC workers in the middle of first contract negotiations, so they are striking. don’t cross the picket line!!!
how to support them (from their statement):
• Do not go to the Alamo Brooklyn or Manhattan. (Feel free to go to Staten Island if you can and tip generously! Or go to Nitehawk! The Prospect Park location is unionized with the same local as us, UAW 2179! I was at some of their organizing meetings!)
• Cancel your season pass, and tell them exactly why.
• Donate to our two gofundmes and share them (or just share if you cant donate.)

Lately the only things I feel compelled to draw for tattoo practice are horses (and greyhounds—the horse of dogs)
