Epstein met with Chomsky more than once, usually with disgraced sex pest Lawrence Krauss in tow. Chomsky's responses to the inane and brain-dead questions often posed by Epstein were friendly. Chomsky was in touch with Epstein until right before the latter man died in prison.

I have a lifetime to think about what a world without Alice in embodied form looks like. To have loved and been loved by her was one of the greatest privileges of my life. I will carry her spirit with me always.
Many thoughts about my cyborg bitch boss goddess accomplice Alice Wong & all the things she meant but there is a tendency for white disabled people to overshadow conversations about disabled BIPOC including in death. I choose to let Alice speak for herself & uplift those she wanted to represent her.

I’m living a ghost of a life. I may never eat normally again. And it makes it so hard to watch people expose themselves to Covid over and over knowing that THIS could be not even the outcome, but some kind of midpoint.

Please do not get this disease, and please do not give it to anyone else.

TERFs are "feminist" in the same way the Nazis were "socialist": As a cover for stupid rubes.

And gender criticals in general have fascist personality traits: Petty middle-class revanchism, obsession with hierarchy & order, seeing "others" not as indviduals but projections of their grievances etc.

Today is Intersex Day of Solidarity and Remembrance.

It's an opportunity to highlight the continued struggles faced by intersex people globally, from unnecessary medical intervention or stigma.

We all deserve to be treated with dignity, and live a life free from discrimination.

Your support makes this campaign successful.

I scheduled this the night of the 7th when “keep hope alive” sounded like a dream. But it’s our duty—and it helps keep six families alive. Yes, still. News or not.

They’re still here. What boldness can you conjure to keep them here?

TIL that a curfew is also a literal object! the word has its roots in the French couvrefeu - "cover fire" - and was used to denote a bell rung to warn people to cover their fires overnight to prevent the outbreak of flames between wooden houses. a curfew was a bell-shaped cover for embers!

In the late 1800s and early 1900s Native children were taken from their families and tribes and sent to government and church-run boarding schools. The goal of the schools was to assimilate Native kids to white culture so that eventually Native Americans would no longer exist as a distinct people.
