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.

This is great news and immediately made me think about our neighbors as Coloradans and how it is highly unlikely we’ll have a coalition or alliance anytime soon.

I’ll keep crossing my fingers.

Anyone reading this mind providing a summary of what has been happening?

I was away for about 36 hours and I am mostly here for #WoTSkies.

I used to be able to find summaries on the bird app, but I can’t find and explainer on this one. 😂🤣😂

So bluesky seems like it's well into its downward spiral era. I'm not all that chuffed with social media at all anymore, but on this second go around with this format I've really enjoyed seeing so much art and fannish content.

I don't know where to go from here. It's sad.

This is great work. Great. And you know what? A librarian might not know all this off the dome, but they would absolutely help you find out.

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.

we're not going to have a good, sustainable social media site as long as it is made or run by tech people. that is why I am building my own out of water, small rocks, moss, snails, brightly colored shrimp, one of those sucking fish, a mermaid statue. I'll be honest, this may actually be an aquarium.

I gasped when KH said with her full chest that she was going to have the most lethal military ever. I am paraphrasing, but lethal was the word I gasped over.

I had near friend-ending arguments with friends over that speech.

It seems to me there are many who imagine heaps of wealth going to people who work (very hard) in well-known, under-paid industries, but forego critical thinking about the actual heaps of wealth that is only acquired on the backs of others or by slimy “investments.”

Well done to all those who have tirelessly campaigned for the recognition of Palestine — an inalienable right of the Palestinian people.

Next, the UK should recognise the genocide in Gaza, end its complicity in crimes against humanity, and stop arming Israel.

(What it actually showed is that politics and democracy in Britain are barely real, largely because our national media outlets collaborate with utterly horrible political insiders in secret, as a matter of course, to bullshit and shitehouse the public).

This is the exact same in the US (and it’s many of the same bad actors).

The owners of these outlets/publications have no interest in investigations into crony capitalism’s cronies, because it is THEM.
