The Iconic Civil Rights Protest You Don't Know | American Experience | PBS
Meet the protesters who crawled their way into history—and changed how all Americans live.
Today is the 36th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl and disabled people are still fighting for basic rights in a society that's actively working to undermine them, surrounded by systemic disablism.
(This is a corrected thread TY to the person who flagged that I said 26th, not 36th!)

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Upon arrival at camp she asks What Is To Be Done about her lost phone (answer: a few minutes later a guide removed two screws and easily recovered the phone). I ask, for clarification, "you were in Marge, yes?"
"NO. I was in *MARGUERITE*"

Anyway since Marge is a little older she has a few cosmetic issues here and there. For instance, the A/C vent cover is missing in the back passenger area. A guest mistook the grate-less cavity for a little shelf a while back and dropped her phone in it.

Our first Low Pressure Tire Snowcoach was named Marguerite after the first female ranger in Yellowstone. She's still in good shape and running guests and freight into camp on the regular. We affectionately call her "Marge."

A comic. A gray and white cat bats the phone out of my hand. “Mother, stop this” He rubs his head against the back of my hand. “You must learn to live ‘in the moment’” “This moment, specifically,” he puts his face into the palm of my hand and holds it there with his paws, “in which I am being petted.”
here’s a quick comic about Charles

Got my dad a book about the Endurance for Christmas, might give him this book I'm reading about the Edmund Fitzgerald for his next birthday. He's never expressed interest in nautical history but he's a 73-year-old man so it's this or books about Cowboys Solving Mysteries and he's read all of those.

Trans people squad up and come hard at anyone who fucks with them online because it is not an exchange of ideas for them, it is their actual human lives and deepest identity and physical safety and right to citizenship.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.
