So Pretty

Happy birthday Kim Dokja! Thank you for your story.

the text is the poem "If I Can Stop One Heart from Breaking" by Emily Dickinson

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

I love watching dvds... bc the little commercials beforehand will be like "coming to you spring 2008!" like man. I can't wait for 2008

Why didn’t the national media tell us about the demonstrations by Indigenous People and other climate activists and arrests in DC?

The national media was busy this past week telling us all about Captain Kirk’s 11-minute voyage into space and other nonsense. But it didn’t tell us much, if anything, about the hundreds of arrests of Indigenous People and other climate activists in DC. Why not? Because the protests did not involve the name “trump,” so the stories wouldn’t sell space online or hard copies of newspapers.

During the week of October 11, 585 people were arrested for demonstrating, most in front of the White House. Why? Probably because they didn’t have a permit and were demonstrating on a public sidewalk. So, how many of the thousands of angry right-wing men and women who stormed the US Capitol on January 6, broke into the building, trashed the place and stole stuff, smacked the police and other acts of violence were arrested on that day? Just a handful. The arrests came later, after we all digested what we had just seen. Tells me something. 

Here are some photos of the October 11 event which I saw on my feed from DeSmog Blog. Now we can at least see something, and maybe know a little more. And here are links (here, here and here) to other stores from DeSmog Blog, each with great photos and some interesting videos, including one with a combative granny.

As the bombing draws near, they are unable to flee or move due to extreme hunger that consumes them, deprived of their last energy source, bound by profound exhaustion that renders them incapable of dodging the falling shells.
