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.

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

I would vote without question for anyone with the fucking stones to do this while refusing to 1) throw trans people under the bus and 2) fund Israel's genocide

This is why I think the next Democratic president needs to use the EXACT tools that SCOTUS has handed Trump. Don't leave room for any distinctions.

Impound funds for deportation. Give ICE the USAID treatment. Refuse to collect government-backed debt. Purge MAGA loyalists from the executive branch.

“Authoritarianism is as American as slavery, as internment camps, as police brutality, as voter suppression. To fight it, white people have to stop pretending government oppression arrived overnight and start dismantling the systems that have been incubating it all along.”

"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tired—actually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

I write about white ignorance and how exhausting it is to hear white ppl insist "this isn't who we are, when it's ALWAYS who we've been.

White People’s Performative Ignorance Is Exhausting—Opinion

Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isn’t a cutesy personality trait. It’s a confession: You haven’t been paying attention.

If you didn't want Puerto Ricans speaking Spanish in the US, you should've thought about that before you colonized the island and forcefully made it a part of the US.

A screenshot of a tweet from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG). The tweet reads:
"Bad Bunny says America has 4 months to learn Spanish before his perverse unwanted performance at the Super Bowl halftime.

It would be a good time to pass my bill to make English the official language of America.

And the NFL needs to stop having demonic sexual performances during its halftime shows."

The tweet was posted at 10:48 AM on October 6, 2025, has 144.4K views, 954 replies, 1.2K retweets, 7.3K likes, and 70 bookmarks.

hiii pals. Not super sure what my stream plans will be for the next couple of weeks. Still working on getting a functioning capture card set-up. My mom's visiting this weekend so no streams, and I'll be at TwitchCon next weekend! I'd like to do a pre-TC chat stream so expect that next week. :)

Ghost Baby Clifford is here to announce that it is officially spooky season. Let the festivities commence.

a picture from an old Clifford book. Clifford is much smaller than usual, implying he is baby. he is holding a brown paper bag in his mouth and is covered in a sheet with eye holes. it is obvious he is trick or treating. his tail has action lines around it, indicating he is rather excited for both the tricks and the treats

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.
