desperately wanting to help folx understand how connected this entire pile of bs is instead of pulling single threads one by one

the FABRIC suffocating our lives is woven of these threads of specific oppressions

the pattern is RIGHT THERE if we stand back a lil +recognize eachother's humanity.

it would probably be sorta hard for just anyone to do it *this well* because it requires you to actually be normal about trans people, but still it feels important to state for the record that WE ARE NOT HARD TO STAND UP FOR AND ANY OF THEM COULD DO IT.

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.

TIL (i just don't post images lol) but this is REALLY easy! also i appreciated the example alt text🤭

also also: a reply to Penncat here tells how u can copypaste text using android bc apparently it's a lil different

It’s not even difficult. If you click on the little box on the bottom right of the picture before you post it, you get the option to “copy text” and then all you need to do is paste it into the alt text box.

A photo with the box that you need to click on to highlight text to copy it pointed to with a red arrow on the bottom right side of the screen, and the “Copy All” button which pops up on the bottom left when you click on the right hand button also indicated with a red arrow.

(The text in the background, for anyone who is interested, reads:

CHAOTIC: take a wild stab at what the person said, e. g. "you want to baptize a mackerel?")

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

i can't express how disturbing and exhausting it is the way everyone thinks bodies (women's in particular) are meant to be sexualized first and foremost, and that having certain bodies/wearing certain clothes is by default "sexual." what a fucking cooked ass world we have.

My big conspiracy is that due to our overall systemic decline in both cultural literacy and actual literacy we have spawned a generation of people who don’t even know how to get horny anymore

p.s. the claims of 'emerging' evidence and 'unexpected' toll are either ignorant or disingenuous.

we knew the propensity existed from jump. with any disease carrying such propensity, a toll particularly prevalent in young ppl@ frontlines of most crowded/risky/constant-exposure activities shd b obv

"Evidence is emerging of the unexpected toll long Covid is taking on the brains of young people. Researchers say this is a big change from the pre-pandemic situation when cognition impairment tended mainly to be of concern for older adults."

The CDC and ACIP quietly updated their recommendations and now specifically include pregnant individuals among those eligible for COVID vaccination.

Under the new policy, insurers are required to cover the vaccine for pregnant people without cost sharing. buff.ly/Id2vJbe

“In Louisiana, where defendants can spend years in pretrial detention because of court delays, it is not uncommon for an inmate to have served out their sentence — or even served extra time — by the time a judge hands down that sentence.”

These inmates claim Louisiana held them too long. Now they can file a class action lawsuit.

The lawsuits allege Louisiana has routinely held inmates past their release dates for years.

Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?

thematthill.bsky.social @thematthill.bsky.social · 3d

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

In 1857, Thomas Howland became Providence, RI's first Black elected official.

Later that year, he decided to emigrate to Liberia with his wife & daughter after the Dred Scott case denied Black people protections of U.S. citizenship. He was denied a passport.
