When you're reading through your *mumble* year-old high school year book and see: "Thanks for the help in econ!"

I helped someone in econ?!!!! 🤯

CLARIFICATION :

The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.

They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY

So spread this around

They can be texted. They can be called.

I’m seeing a lot of people posting about how sick they are with a “summer flu”

Main complaints? Fatigue, extremely sore throat, fever and loss of smell.

It’s Covid. The Nimbus variant is here & appears to be more transmissible.

It’s time to wear a respirator, clean the air & stay home when sick!

Remarkable.

MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.

Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

“I’m am invoking my right to remain silent and I am invoking my right to have an attorney present.”

Then you shut the fuck up.
i want you to practice saying it. “i am invoking my right to remain silent and will not answer questions without an attorney present.” say it out loud. it sounds so simple but when the moment comes, you forget. you’ll be stressed, scared, confused, & want to explain yourself. don’t. it won’t help.

I see this is still going around. Don't do this. This is literally, exactly the opposite of what you should do. If things are escalating, and you are uncomfortable, leave.

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents.

While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⤵️

pride is next week

pride wasn't brought to you by delta air lines, microsoft, coca-cola or even the democratic party. it was brought to you by trans women throwing bricks at cops and lesbians taking care of gay men dying of AIDS during reagan.

do not forget where we came from. now more than ever.

I know a lot of people are boycotting Amazon, which is great, but it's hurting a lot of trans authors.

Trans authors: Drop links to your NON-AMAZON book listings/storefronts.

Cis people: Repost, boost, and, importantly, buy. Part of boycotting an evil corporation is supporting the alternatives.
