Dear friends, Thank you for asking. No we don’t, no we won’t. Beyond the fact that Rae is actually a great artist, and loves artwork by real human beings and all the good created by real human art we HATE what AI is doing to the environment and our culture. Xoxo, team Transpainter

Hey friends, we LOVE working with you and using this art to celebrate great works in the LGBTQ+ community via donations. Here’s a little info on how we can make that happen. #payartistsfairly #payartists

Y’all are actually the BEST. Just last night we heard from one of you that Rae’s art is currently being copied from screenshots and sold online. 🚫 Not by us. 🚫 Not by our nonprofit partners. 🚫 Not by one of the small shops we sell in. 🚫 Not by a collaborator. Unfortunately, this is way too common in our modern world. In just one year we have had this come up at least six times. And that’s only the times we know of. Thankfully we’ve taken extra steps to protect Rae’s work as best we can. Having registered copyrights has helped us report and remove counterfeiters. Of course they are taking credit for Rae’s creations. Worse yet, they undermine the fundraising efforts that support our under-resourced community and the network of ethical (mostly queer) production partners we’ve built. When people steal Rae’s work, our biggest concern is that that they are stealing from the nonprofits we collaborate with. When they steal our work and sell junk versions online they also undermine the profits of the small local retailers who carry our merchandise. We’re ready for more this year. The more notoriety Rae’s art gets the more this will happen. We really can only take action with your help. If you see anything suspicious please message us. If you can take screenshots and send links. And wherever you can, report these fraudsters. In every case so far these folks are also stealing work from other artists- many of whom do not have the ability protect their works as well as we do. It’s a privilege to have the time, energy and money to formally protect your creations in an online space. Thank you for your support of artists, creators, our nonprofit partners, and small business collaborators. #arttheft #copyright #copyrights #supportsmallbusiness #smallb#supportlocalbusiness #queerbusinessowner #lgbtqbusiness #ethicalbusiness #supportartists #instaartist #supportartistsoninstagram

We are holding the family of Juniper Blessing and her memory dearly this morning. Her family’s statement says “Juniper’s loss not only devastates us but diminishes the world.” The losses of so many transwomen and girls especially young women (she was only 19) diminishes our world. The fear our trans sisters -especially Black and Brown transwomen- live with daily diminishes our world. Trans women and girls deserve long lives. They deserve peace and safety. The world will be a better place when we protect and respect them. #protectthedolls🏳️‍⚧️ #protectthebricks #transkidsareloved #protecttranskids #transwomenarewomen

ICYMI: this week during a hearing about blocking entryways to medical clinics, Rep. Gill (TX) asked American University professor and reproductive rights champion Jessica Waters JD what her favorite type of abortion is and @jessicavalenti shared this audio with a TikTok (watch the whole thing in our stories). We wholeheartedly agree with her list of favorites and added some of the reasons we love abortion around here. Go follow Jessica for updates about reproductive care access in the USA. And as always, bodily autonomy is a human right. #bodilyautonomy #reproductivejustice #reproductiverights #myfavoriteabortion #weloveabortionproviders

Sexual violence, abuse and assault is a public health crisis in the USA. Today is the anniversary of the passing of Virginia Guiffre, a fierce survivor-advocate who helped expose the Epstein network. She dedicated her life to fighting self-trafficking, founded survivor support nonprofits, and inspired countless survivors of trauma and abuse speak out and find help. From @safe_bae “Above all, the first step is simple—and too often missing: we must believe survivors. When a person comes forward, their words deserve our full trust and support, not skepticism or silence. Beyond belief, the data make clear that sexual assault is a public health crisis with devastating, long-term impacts. According to the CDC, nearly one in three women and one in six men in the U.S. experience some form of sexual violence during their lives. Shockingly, one in nine girls and one in fifty boys are forced into sexual activity before turning 18. These numbers represent our classmates, our friends, our teammates. And the aftermath is devastating: survivors are twice as likely to attempt suicide, 3x more likely to experience depression, and far more likely to face substance use disorders and chronic health problems later in life. Even for those, like Virginia, who become powerful advocates, the toll often persists in quiet moments—flashbacks, anxiety, or the lingering weight of shame and self-doubt... … Allowing consent education to fade from curricula isn’t just neglect—it’s turning away from a proven prevention tool. Virginia’s legacy compel us to act: to believe survivors, to intervene early, and to build systems of support that stand by survivors for life. We must ensure that no young person faces abuse alone—or worse, sees no path forward. By demanding consent education, survivor-centered care, and genuine accountability, we can turn the crisis of sexual violence into a culture of care and respect.“ #supportsurvivors #believewomen #believethem #survivorsofabuse #publichealth
