It's always a bit interesting to get notification from a friend that my info has been put up in a Facebook group, by someone trying to drum up hate towards me. It's been fascinating to watch, over time, as the people who make those posts get dragged by more and more people. 1/

Law enforcement can compel you to unlock your phone with biometrics - they cannot do the same for PINs. This precedent has been set already. Be safe, be smart.
TURN OFF FINGER PRINT AND FACE ID ON PHONES
sorry for yelling but it’s important.

Do not romanticize arrest as a part of obstruction and resistance efforts.
Please for you own sake read this thread before you set out on this course of action.
Do protest, do be part of these efforts. But please know what’s coming your way in the aftermath before you choose how far you’ll go.

All of this!!! Please at least read this before you head out tomorrow.
If you're protesting tomorrow:
"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present."
MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

Played disc golf today. This round wasn't about shooting a hot score - it was about sharing space with other queer people, in a time when we're all pretty afraid.

I was fired from Telfar, a fashion company beloved by and marketing to trans people, for being transgender, along with every other trans employee at that time. In this moment, one of the best things you can do to protect trans lives is to hire us.

Once again reminding a generation who thinks ska died that the scene is still in fact thriving. And in todays political climate, there’s lots of marginalized folk in the scene who got SOMETHING TO SAY 😤👊🏾💥

SKA is anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-transphobic. Fuck you if you think otherwise.

If you're more upset that Trump is "saving" TikTok than you are about his mass deportations or transphobia, I don't think we're on the same side.
Just saying.

Just because we move on doesn’t mean we need to forget… 1/6/21 … Vanilla Isis… RxPxOxS… share this song, use this song, don’t let up. If you are coming here to comment some bullshit, you on the wrong page.
