Advocates for trans people with criminal records say that restrictions on name changes, like the ones in Illinois, can end up forcing people to continue using their deadnames, which may lead to further discrimination.

Corporate Media is going to pretend that Trump is heartbroken about the two West Virginian National Guardsmen being shot in DC, but the entire point of moving a standing army into a peaceful city was to induce violence by The People to justify more violence by Trump on The People in retaliation.

Good evening everyone 🌒 This is Khaled from Rafah, #Gaza, #Palestine.
Today was a little bit tiring for me. I’m a little bit tired. It’s been several days in a row when I wasn’t able to afford eating much, and I was very active with cleaning and maintaining the tents for my family and my relatives.

For reasons I can’t entirely explain, I liked the first zootopia enough that not only did I buy that Shakira song, I made it my alarm for long enough that I think my mother contemplated burying me alive. When it played during some awards show, she went “NOOOOOOOO!!!”

Could be remembering wrong, but Final Fantasy XV is the only big game I can think of that tried distancing itself from its original title. Would love to know why that was (apparently) easier compared to this and Arkane's Prey. www.polygon.com/vampire-the-...
