@abookofsymbols shortly before he died, my father mentioned in a conversation about trans kids that if he’d had the option he wouldn’t have been a man. I’ll always regret we didn’t have time for both of us to get to know her better.
@CaIifornist @radiance_t3@oncloud_e and degendering a trans woman by using them/them for her is common transmisogynist microaggression. if this is truly an innocent mistake and you didn’t know that, you need to 1) listen to more trans women talk about their experiences, and 2) apologize and cut that shit out
@CaIifornist @radiance_t3@oncloud_e no, if you were talking directly to someone you would use “you.” when someone give their pronouns, they are saying “this is what you should use when talking about me”
before we celebrate too much, let’s make sure!
this only has one source (the source in the second comment is where the GFM says they are getting their info) and the Polk County Clerk’s court records page has a release order for a GPS-monitored pre-trial release 😕
According to the GoFundMe for Briana Boston, the mother of 3 who arrested for allegedly writing “Delay, deny, depose, you people are next” & slammed with a $100k bond has been released from custody with NO charges.
GFM raised over $50k, will refund all.

@sandinistaoliva it’s not clear to me that this is correct. there’s only one source (the GFM says they are going off the inmate listing), and the release order says it’s a GPS-monitored pre-trial detention
@sandinistaoliva I have some students who are interested in exploring racial biases in diagnoses for a research project, do you have any suggestions for sources on this? doesn’t have to be formal reports, personal stories would also be valuable
Hopefully this gets traction, we're doing a megafundraiser project for several (200+) VERIFIED families and we're pooling together effort on several platforms!!
help us get this seen today as it means we can close SEVERAL urgent fundraisers!! ↓↓
even just watching on a small screen, you can physically feel the hatred and the calculated threat radiating off of those flames. I can’t imagine how much worse it is for everyone at Knoxville College and other HBCUs.
@tenshikinryoku sorry, “whether there are or aren’t people outside”? you’re telling people it’s dangerous to be out in the fresh air alone?! it’s irresponsible to spread misinformation that could be so dangerous to someone’s mental health
@james_f_thomas just watched it and this was my main impression. there’s a scene where they go back to a hotel room and throw back beers and make eye contact, and the whole time I was just thinking “I wonder when they’re gonna tell the camera person to go away”
@jenifer39@abby4thepeople god I hope this is a joke. I don’t want to believe someone who knows so little that they could say this with a straight face might be a voter
@BreatheLesss no, this is not the nightmare, this is the dream. that’s why health scammers can make so much money telling people that THIS is one thing to cut to solve everything—people are desperate for that to be true
