Yo! I'm babelglyph. I wear ridiculous things, mainly #LolitaFashion but sometimes cosplay, steampunk, vintage, or whatever else floats my boat. My two core fashion philosophies are "pay your bills then buy frills" and "shitpost hard, coord harder". Here are a few of my recent outfits!

This is a good thread because it goes beyond "get a lawyer" and into "here's the sort of lawyer you need and how to find them."

If I can give 3 pieces of unsolicited advice to people facing ICE/CBP:
1) go outside
2) meet your neighbors
3) be loud
They want you to be isolated and afraid so they can work in secret, control the narrative, and act with impunity. They lose power when we see what’s happening and to whom.

Okay, I've gone on long enough. I'll end with this:
The good parts of science fiction deserve so much better than what they are given, and the bad parts of the genre deserve to be blasted out the airlock, never to return.
And too many old white male "fans" & writers are in the latter group.

The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.

this is why Barbie (2023) is a meaningful movie to me. It's not just the pink, it's not just that one famous monologue, it's the whole thing. Da Pope has it right. I can and will defend slowness when it serves a purpose.

Fun (terrifying) fact: Moose are so gigantic, they don’t have any predators…except for orcas. In winter/scare months, moose will dive for vegetation and orcas will eat them!
