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.

It's like there's a certain type of brain worm that makes people think that in order to tell one type of story, they need to use the plot structure and genre conventions of a completely different genre. 2/2

To elaborate, there seems to be a broad desire to use it as a vehicle for other types of stories/games that it can't support. Like for D&D we have to "Let's do Cyberpunk 2077 in D&D" and cop shows are like "let's do a situation work place comedy, but it's a police procedural!" 1/2

TTRPG hot take:

D&D 5e is to role-playing games as police procedurals are to American TV

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 4d

Under the Third Reich, most Germans generally lived in the law-bound normative state, while Jews and other disfavored people were victims of the arbitrary and violent prerogative state.

The dual state is characterized by the facade of normalcy obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.

Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

Day 4 is my second Escher! I feel like it’s obligatory that you make at least one pride themed so here’s mine! My hand eye coordination isn’t good enough to do patterns but it still ended up looking nice.
