Whilst we're on the subject of shocking living things, did you know police departments routinely shock human beings with tasers until they die and chalk up their deaths to a fake medical condition they call "excited delirium" that was invented by taser companies to absolve themselves of liability?

It's almost worse recognizing it as a fear response too, cause it's like
Is this as far as "out and proud" really gets us?

#Haiti: No one should fear being shot while walking to school, shopping for groceries, or seeking care in a hospital.

In Port-au-Prince, violence is escalating. Armed clashes are sending more civilians to our hospitals with devastating injuries.

every trans person needs to be on the side of every other trans person right now.

even the ones you hate. even the ones you think arent as trans as you. even the ones who are bitches, or jackoffs, or assholes. If they are willing to fight for me, I am willing to fight for them.

I heard some establishment pols saying that this isn't a battle worth picking for now.

sixty-eight chicago community, faith, + social service organizations are calling on cook county commissioners to “protect and increase social service spending” amid drastic cuts nationally from the trump admin.

they suggest freezing all law enforcement spending, which has “unjustifiably increased.”

As discord suffers a massive data breach of people's personal data and ID documents congrats to the UK Government for bringing in the undercooked law that made it absolutely inevitable this would happen, repeatedly

"We and our co-authors of a book examining the SBS hypothesis also believe the objective medical evidence proves that Roberson’s chronically ill toddler, Nikki, died from natural and accidental causes, not abuse."

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Vast, vast majority of trans people aren't going to leave the country. Many can't leave the areas they're currently in.

If trans survival/liberation are something one cares about, at all, that's the reality.

So...🧵

(And no, this is not — in the main — about indviduals leaving the country).

Hey all! My friend needs help getting hormones atm -- if you can pitch in it would mean a lot <3 (also pst USD goes a lot farther up here so Americans, very sincerely, ANY amount helps)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC2d... This one was HUGE when it came out but it's been a while - some amazing 3D printing work here and dancer Sonoya Mizuno. I fell in love with the song *because* of the video!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mUF... ...And from the same band (the same ALBUM, actually) comes this amazing bit, which takes a very sincere song and gives it a fantastic comedy routine that saves it from being a little bit saccharine.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xlec... McFly - The Ballad of Paul K. Written about the dads of some of the band members and an ensuing midlife crisis, an already depressing song gets pushed into gothic by the INCREDIBLE set work.

Bedshaped - Keane. On its own, the song is about a failing friendship, maybe chronic illness; with the video, it's a lot clearer and a lot more hard-hitting that it's about watching a friend *suffer* when you can't help them. Also look at that fucking stop-motion.

First up, Billie Eilish - Bury A Friend

This is what got me really listening to the lyrics. They're right there anyway, but the imagery here REALLY pushes the whole "this is about sex and not in a good way" thing to the forefront. Also the horror aesthetics WOW

I was talking about this in a server and I think I've done this before, but here's my thread of music videos that aren't just good, but elevate the song that they're for; that is, they retroactively make the song more interesting!
