UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

Happy birthday!!!

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

It blows my mind that this hasn’t happened yet.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

My favourite Jane Goodall quotes....so many, so to the point, so wise. How different the world would be if enough people listened to her.

Thank you for holding the line!

Devastating news. RIP Jane Goodall, but what a legacy she leaves behind.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

COLLINS: So you're telling me you're willing to vote no every time?

BERNIE SANDERS: Damn right

ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

What's so remarkable about this is how it acknowledges Sanger's turn into eugenics, and explicitly rejects it, and then pushes for alternative caregivers like doulas and midwives. As someone deeply interested in how male politicians talk about bodily autonomy, this is REMARKABLE.

Never take the warranty! My brother made that mistake, something broke a few months before the warranty was up, they dicked him around so much for two weeks he just gave up and traded in the car to be rid of the hassle.

We don’t call everyone who disagrees with us a Nazi, JD, just the ones doing Nazi shit like:

-masked secret police kidnapping people off the street
-creating concentration camps
-attempting to eradicate trans people
-banning/burning LGBTQ/opposing viewpoint books
-murdering fishermen in open waters

The end of that episode had me tearing up on the way to work 🥺

the lesson of the kimmel thing is that a corporation that previously caved to trump was forced by its audience to defy him.

they're afraid of him but they're more afraid of you.

The way I see it is it’s important to find joy where you can when things suck so bad, and if Disney had doubled down I would have to keep boycotting all their stuff. I really didn’t want Star Wars taken away, especially with Visions releasing soon. So this victory helps.

Canceling #DisneyPlus was hard. I've been a subscriber since launch. I don't watch a lot of TV, but when I do it's usually re-watching Star Wars stuff. I have a ritual of watching The Village Bride before bed if I've had a bad day.

I really hope #Disney reverses course so I can re-subscribe.

Another week, another record broken by KPop Demon Hunters!

I was skeptical so I looked into this, and tear gas is indeed known to cause miscarriages.

The anti-abortion party is heavily employing tear gas at protests, potentially causing involuntary abortions.
