She was extraordinary, and extraordinarily generous. Alice Wong: I am so grateful to have been alive in her lifetime. She was one of our species' best. She deserved better. My her legacy be for a blessing.

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles.
Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

Please read this in the gentlest possible voice but we HAVE to divest from mil-sims as gamedevs. Even before this AI bullshit in the latest Black Ops, these games have done so much harm and contributed massively to the dehumanization of several populations worldwide. It’s US foreign pol propaganda.

I got federal charged for dancing across the street from ICE in my neighborhood on Indigenous People's Day. Here is the feds evidence photo they are using against me in court.

The last couple days I have been trying to be so good to myself, to the best of my ability and resources. Taking a breathing break, focusing on brewing a nice cup of tea, wearing my favorite, comfiest clothes to bed, honoring routine…I hope everyone else is about to take a couple minutes, too.
a heinous news cycle in every sense of the word

when you understand that patriarchy views children as sexual property it all makes sense. there's no hypocrisy. exposure to queerness & transness threatens to "corrupt" the father's property, to "lead them astray" into self-determination, to taint their future sexual value. CSA is permissible as >
Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.
I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Those of us who are SA survivors are used to the mass shrug in response to even the most overt evidence of horrific behavior. Epstein's crimes and the complicity of many influential figures involved have been known for decades (’05 to be exact). It's never mustered much interest or consequence.

not to be a wet blanket but i certainly noticed how many people, cis men in particular, tried very hard to claim that the gaiman thing was a smear job, false allegations, politically motivated lies etc
i appreciate the sentiment but this is rewriting reality. the rape apologia was rampant.

I used to work for Starbucks and this boycott is 1000000% warranted.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Thinking today how homelessness runs through this story, through Epstein's (Virginia Guiffre had been homeless before meeting him), and even through Gaiman's (his nanny was sleeping on the beach when Palmer recruited her, and he used threats of homelessness against another victim).

remember that these people oppose trans healthcare for children because giving children agency over their bodies makes it harder for them to get away with preying on them and they see themselves entitled to sexually abusing children

calling other men "fucking monsters" for being interested in girls only a little younger than your own girlfriend is illustrative tho. a LOOOOOT of men give themselves moral license to be sex creeps by performatively announcing their hatred of "real" creeps

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

Does anyone know of a good online cruelty-free cosmetics/skincare space that isn’t Reddit/FB/etc? I’m nearing the end of the last of the products I’ve had a hard time finding alternatives for and was hoping there’s someone I could solicit recommendations

I just learned Fly by Jing had a chili crisp advent calendar that is now sold out and am devastated.
I could never justify the price but Oak Essentials has one for $350. The products I’ve tried all smell lovely and they’re cruelty freeeeeee

everything is bonkers right now and we need a timeline cleanse. let’s play a game. if I handed you a blank check but you could ONLY spend it on an Advent calendar, what absurdly pricy collection of little treats are you buying yourself?
