Currently happening: this is a group of trans and queer people in Sudan who are being forcibly expelled from a refugee camp. There is no plan to re-house them, no community care, no nothing. Some have been relocated with donated money, some are living on borrowed time.

Give a damn?

A three-panel meme consisting of video stills from one of the Dune movies, and text. Interior shot, medium close-up, darkened room. A grey-haired man asks Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, "Tell me more about these 'inflatable frog people.' Harkonnen, a bald white man in a basic black silk robe, replies, "They're violent terrorists. Extremists." Beast Rabban, another white baldy, only his face visible, says, "One twerked at me and I got horny so I pepper sprayed it."

A photo of an orange tuxedo cat loafing in bliss inside a shallow hole in the dirt the exact size of the cat. An arrow indicating the hole leads to text saying "impact crater." An arrow indicating the vat leads to text saying, "from the moon??"

A composite photograph with two frames burnt into a brown-grey background. The topmost image is of the head of a cat looking side-eyed at the view, its ears in airplane mode. It surmounts an image of a cat seated in a comically-human pose next to a glass of red wine.This gives an impression of an inner monologue. Top text: undiagnosed. bottom text: but something ain't right.

A color photo of Edward from Twilight standing on what looks like a mountain of gravel and sand. He's wearing all black, with a black sash blowing out behind him. He looks like a basic goth boy. Text superimposed across the photo says, "For my next trick, I'll disappear from everyone's life without telling anyone anything."

A post by Middle Age Riot including a photo of Government official Stephen Miller with a text comment. The photo is classic Miller: slack expression, dead eyes and dirty, congested skin. The comment says, "If 'never leave your drink unattended' were a person."

Without even a thought except, "Oh, thanks for the warning." It never occurred to me that they could have been lying to isolate a struggling trans woman

So, like...

that sort of thing

I'm sure it happens often

I had been on here for less than a month before a burner account contacted me about a trans woman I had just followed. She didn't have many followers. The person on the opposite end told me that this woman has a reputation of x, y, and z and she would do it to me, too

and fuck me, I unfollowed her.

A black and white ink drawing of a tired-eyed, gaunt man wearing a trench coat over a shirt and tie. He is holding up a paper note pad for the viewer to see, on which is written, "Palantir is listening."

The United States is in material breach of over five hundred - yes, 500 - legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations.

And lest you say that's because of Trump, we were in breach of at least 350 under both of the last two Democratic administrations.

So yes, we are an illegal occupation.

Conquering and colonization is the way people acquired land at that time in history. It was uncivilized and involved violence and yet that's how land was acquired.

You fought over it and, if you won, it became yours. I acknowledge that's how America came to be. I also acknowledge colonization was a bad thing for indigenous populations.

But I think you're reaching pretty far to try to claim America is an ongoing illegal occupation in present day.

Weird little guys, probly

When mysterious things go wrong for a trans woman, there is at least a 1000% chance that it was a weird little guy

This is a fantastic article I encourage everyone to read.

The damaging effects of COVID on our immune system are not up for debate.

It’s not hypothetical.

And it’s not limited to “only the vulnerable”.

This is why many of us mask. Respirators like an N95 do a great job preventing covid.

COVID-19 is “Airborne AIDS”: provocative oversimplification, emerging science, or something in between?
