Hmm, you know what would be very fun? Using the questions on the ICE tip form to build a character narrative. Unfortunately, the phone top line is down indefinitely because of pranksters. Just remember not to actually submit the form lol. That could get you in big trouble.

Oh no, I accidentally sent email to hr@opm.gov detailing what I did this week, including pictures. I meant that to be a journal entry. Whatever should I do?

People who still use your birth name/gender/etc: why? Have you ever thought about changing them? Why didn't you? I assume that every person who has changed their name/gender presentation/etc has put some thought into it.

My rage of the day is people insisting that scaring and hurting a dog is the only way to make them behave. I'm not going to judge people correctly using whatever tools work for their dog but it's plain wrong to say that force-free training never works.

I think I'm witnessing someone having a mental health episode in the comments of a Facebook post. This person's writing is disjointed, disorganized, and somewhat word salad-y. However they're also defending antisemitism. I'm bewildered and don't know what to do.

This feels very Quaker to me. This is one of the reasons I left the Meeting. I beg all the Quakers I know to use these urges for good.

The cruelty is the point.
They want you to panic.
They want you to give up.
They want you dead.
Don’t let them win.
You have to live.
Better days can only come if you’re still here.

I don't know where I heard "do not go gently into the night. Rage, rage at the dying of the light." But I now know it's an approximation of the beginning of a Dylan Thomas poem about death. That said, the phrase is echoing loud for me right now.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Remember, my darlings:
Joy is resistance.
Happiness is resistance.
Peace is resistance.
Laughing in their faces when they try to depress you/crush you? Resistance.
YOUR VERY EXISTENCE IS RESISTANCE.
Keep resisting.
I love you.

Im autistic.
Im an academic who studies disability studies/disability history and ableism as an analytical framework.
It is not ableist to call Musk a Nazi for throwing not one, but TWO Nazi salutes.
Saying its ableist is the cynical exploitation of disabled identity to provide cover for hate.

Remember that eating, sleeping, and healing are necessary and essential and are never considered to be "hiding from reality." Also remember that our mental health and emotional health affect us as much as the physical. Sharing humor and joy are always important.

Understanding that Bechdel is a TERF, how are we reframing the question of if movies center people of marginalized genders?

I just saw discussion of weight loss drugs and now I'm triggered. Look up Orthorexia, if you don't know what it is. With the obvious trigger warning for eating disorders.

I literally dreamed up a larp last night. The premise is that there's an intelligent alien plague spreading across the world. It is passed along through touch. Luckily, humanity has developed a cure.

I'm gonna keep asking it: if the law is supposed to be the same regardless of gender, what is legal gender needed for if not treating people different based on their gender?
![[Image description: Screenshot of a tweet by Twitter user “@HTHRFLWRS”, that says, “not nonbinary as in “add a third X gender marker to licenses” but nonbinary as in “remove all genders from licenses, holy shit why would you want a cop to know you’re trans” /end ID]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:opmvs4qwphsu4k6fu4l7cv5d/bafkreifbs4473qpyyxonv3tsdz4zzrjdwbtcze5td4wfivy4n4hmjdpo4a@jpeg)
