During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

A lot of folks out there have been talked into believing they can participate in whiteness just because they're not Black, or even not Too Black, but I assure you: you're not in the club. And you never will be.

"I thought ICE was only going after Mexicans"

When have you ever known any type of militia that is targeting a non-white group to not also attack Black people!?

They treat us like they get extra credit for beating our ass all the time. HOW ARE YOU SHOCKED!?

When we live through difficult times it can be easy to succumb to despair, to see nothing but darkness on the horizon. But one day, in happier times, songs will be sung of those who persevered. Strive to be sung about as one who brought hope, as one who carried light over that horizon.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Take a few deep breaths, drink some water, take your meds.
-Don’t seek out the social media of people you’ve removed from your life.
-The Cursed Object is the one shrieking “don’t read my diary!” for a change.

We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game

So he flipped his positive review to negative

Still totally worth it

You are not The Exception to the fact trauma impacts the human nervous & endocrine systems in predictable ways; & you won't be the first survivor in the history of trauma to figure out how to recover while still invalidating your pain & ignoring your needs.

Sorry, not sorry.

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).

lots of people know Łink from what he did to promote alt text usage here. this tip about pretending you’re describing an image over the phone has been burned in my brain since i saw it

bluesky post from
@knilirabaj.bsky.social that says

It's pretty cool you're using that alt text accessibility feature. It's not cool that you're not really describing the image though. Nice and simple is a good start. Descriptive and accurate is the way to go. You'll get the hang of it. Try pretending you're describing the picture over the phone.
