The solidarity march, one year after the terrorist attack against Pride in Oslo, was a good experience. Thanks to #ReclaimPride.

Time for an #introduction here on @hachyderm!
I'm an interaction designer, hardware & software hacker and hobbyist #gamedev from Gothenburg, Sweden. The best days working at the research institute RISE are the ones where I get to collaborate with artists and cultural heritage institutions on #VR and #AR projects. Online worlds fascinate me a great deal too, from MMORPGs to #VRChat.

I have a thing for robots in pop culture!

...and do social activism work for the local #ReclaimPride movement

Time for an #introduction!

37, he/him, demi??, pan, and enjoy hobbies such as #photography, #gamedev, #webdev and #gunpla. I also do some political action work for the anti-capitalistic #ReclaimPride movement.

Been in the fandom since 2001, at times been close to quitting when people use it as an excuse to stay ignorant of important issues, manipulate, or chase clout.

However, amazing people using their furry identity as a counterculture bat against a harmful status quo keep inspiring me!

Here is the footage from the Dam yesterday. The start of the #PrideWalk, part of the yearly #AmsterdamPride. This year the topic was #ReclaimOurPride!

Pride Amsterdam laat transfobe organisatie toe tijdens de Pride Walk.

Hoe kan Pride Amsterdam hun trans medewerkers en ambassadeurs recht in de ogen aankijken, wetende dat deze organisatie mag meelopen?

Vi er mange og trosser et ubrukelig politi og høljregn med en tydelig markering! #ReclaimPride

Bonus photo.

Showing the #police trying to block the anarchist protesters, incl. on horses. 😡 Only so that people, especially the #pinkwashing #ACAB boat, couldn't get the message. Well they failed! :anqueer_star: :anarchoheart3:

#ReclaimPride #LGBTQIA #anarchism #queer

Yesterday June 4, during the yearly #Pride event in #Utrecht, there was a successful Reclaim Pride :newpride: action by some local anarchists! :anqueer_flag: I wish I was there, but I was this weekend visiting the annual anarchist #Pinksterlanddagen. I can't (yet) clone myself. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The Pride was full of commercial boats, and also the police and so called 'enforcers' (police light) where #pinkwashing at maximum speed! 😫

Someone was so nice to share this video with me, where you can see first the so called 'enforcers', followed by the police, who call themself 'pink in blue'. 😠 It's a disgrace and it dishonors the founders of the Pride! Thank you fellow anarchists!

If you don't know anything about Reclaim Pride, I advise you to educate yourself. A simple web search will help you.

Loving seeing all your photos and videos, please keep posting and using the hashtags #ManchesterPride and #reclaimpride. What an embarrassment for @ManchesterPride today is!

reminder

RT @DocPhoenix@twitter.com

Remember to rip the branding off the SWP placards at #ReclaimPride or don’t take them at all - they don’t care about our communities, they’re just trying to recruit and market themselves (Google Comrade Delta). Keep their printed placards out of all protest photos

I'm at #ReclaimPride at parliament square and I just assumed I would run into somebody I know, but I don't recognise anyone.

Changed behavior >> empty apologies. Just THIS WEEK the NYPD had to settle a @LegalAidNYC@twitter.com lawsuit for its discriminatory enforcement — that targeted trans women — of the loitering law. https://nyti.ms/2Xyd5TY #noPrideinpolicing #noNYPDinPride #Stonewallwasariot #reclaimPride
