Ok. I think I gotta cut down my time on this place - the world is on fire, and being continually reminded of exactly HOW on fire it is, is doing a number on my being able to actually work towards helping in whatever way I can.
Much love to y'all.

The irony here is painful.
Alice Wong wrote a column for Vogue called Disability Visibility. You can still find all her writing for Vogue under her author name.
But *Disability Visibility* - also the name of the advocacy group she launched - has been erased.

It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

Every once in a while I think "hey, maybe I want to try LoL again" and then I see something like this. Fuck Riot, blegh.
3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment.
2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

The Trump admin is planning to say that being from Cuba (or any other travel ban country) is a "significant negative factor" that could lead to a denial of any of several discretionary immigration benefits (like green cards).
Seriously; national origin discrimination as official government policy.
