Revisions nearly complete. Getting closer to the story’s core. It’s brutal in how it addresses ableism and marriage and parenting, but that’s how demons work.

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)

This is an atrocity.

After seeing the US men’s team cozy up to a fascist and attend the State of the Union, I never want to see anyone tell an athlete who’s protesting racism or misogyny or homophobia to β€œshut up and stick to sports.”

I’ve come to realize people think slurs are just words that hurt our feelings. No. Slurs, particularly the N-word, F-word, antisemitic terms etc. aren’t taboo because of that. It’s because historically when these terms are said they precede or pair with pitchforks, torches, lynchings & gas chambers.

Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon both helped start the modern anti-trans moral panic to distract from their paedophilia.
That is a fact. As documented in the files.
Also a fact is they hoped it would drive some trans people to sex work and into their arms.

The reason we do mutual aid & the reason why mutual aid is grounded in anticapitalist theory from a long time is that capitalism says your survival depends on what you can do for people. We say, no you deserve to survive by virtue of your humanity. If you can't produce, we will help you survive.

AGB advocated not only for extinguishing Sign Language, but he said that Deaf people should not marry other Deaf people. In other words, he was a eugenicist.

Gaza is a wasteland of starvation and destruction, bombs raining from the cold winter sky, hunger dogging every step. Please give what you can to help my friend Sama'a.

Some people think being Deaf is a weakness, that learning Sign Language & becoming part of Deaf culture is somehow a surrender. It’s not. It’s a revelation, a declaration of freedom. My Deaf community is a wondrous galaxy that gives me strength & love & imagination, & I’m grateful to be part of it.🀟🏼
