I wish I could make it so that every population experiencing genocide wasn't. I want all peoples to be safe & able to self-determine. Alas, I am but a teacher who is struggling with housing security myself. So I will do my best to share & elevate because everyone deserves to be safe

leveled up with this explanation, cos as an autistic person i pride myself on reacting appropriately to animals, to signal harmlessness, so why wouldn't i want to do this for human animals?
never occurred to me to stop listening to the words and instead recognise the BEHAVIOUR.

Gonna continue this train and talk about another black creator that means a lot to me.
Dwayne McDuffie.
One of the founders of Milestone comics which was the first comic book universe that featured black and POC characters and of course Static Shock.

If you like TTRPGs, you must know Mike Pondsmith. R. Talsorian Games are imaginative, innovative, and awesome. Castle Falkenstein was the first table top game I knew that used a deck of playing cards instead of dice
So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.
When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world.
Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him.

How many lives of women and girls could have been spared the horrors of Epstein and his fellow abusers if the media had not mocked this trans woman in 2007 and listened to her instead…?
Listen to trans people, we are always the canaries in the coalmine.

When a trans woman first accused Jeffrey Epstein of rape, the media mocked her - LGBTQ Nation
The New York Post called her a "man" and a "gender-bend shocker."

Please: We need to help caregivers understand that autism is inborn, meaning that trying to “cure” autism will not help their child one bit—though it will likely traumatize that child while warping their parents’ attitude towards them.

This has been without question the funniest part of watching progressive liberals discover mutual aid organizing
someone asks me to name an anarchist, I'm going to point at them and then prove to them that they already hold anarchist beliefs.
I mean. Yes I *could* but also if I did that they would kick me out of the Signal chat

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.
