Also btw trump recognizing only "the two biological sexes" harms intersex people too. I am a researcher of sex and it's affects on disease, and sex is far more complicated than "two sexes" and it always will be. Sex is multifaceted and there are far more than two binary sexes. Keep that in mind too. Don't fall into bioessentialism as you fight for trans people and intersex people.
I'm an RA (resident assistant, basically making sure people living on my floor of the dorm are safe) on a college campus, and during one of my most recent meetings, we discussed what to do if I.C.E comes to the dorms asking for a student. This is unreal. This meeting was weeks ago and I still feel the same pain in my chest as when we first had to talk about it. I'm literally a 20 year old college student and I have to worry about what to do if I.C.E asks for one of my residents, many of which are international students. Plus, that same week, I.C.E was at one of the nearby highschools.
I don't know what more to say other than please be aware of how serious this really is. Please engage with your community and do what you can to protect them if possible.
Hey, I feel like everyone should be aware that teachers in the U.S. are being taught how to deal with when I.C.E comes into their classrooms looking for undocumented immigrants (students aka children). I.C.E officers are allowed to detain teachers if they believe they are protecting students. This is actual dystopian shit. Putting children on planes without their parents and dropping them off at an airport in a probably unsafe country where they have little to no connections is inhumane! Everyone should be appalled!
I FOUND IT YALL
I need the power of the internet to work in my favor here. I am trying to figure out if this memory I have is a fever dream or if it was real...
I remember when I was little, so maybe ~13ish years ago, there was a short animated series that I think may have been on Disney (although the more I think the more I start to believe it may have been on PBS or something, I just know it had to have been a slightly educational channel bc after there was a short about how to take care of plants and fun ways you can plant seeds without access to a large garden). Similar to Choo Choo Soul or those singing potatoes, except this was an animation of the story Three Billy Goats Gruff. The animation style was, to my child eyes, absolutely beautiful. It started out as a book, but the setting and characters would flip up and become moving 2D parts. And there was also a narrator that was not visible during the storytelling, of course. I believe there were other stories told in this format, but I specifically remember Three Billy Goats Gruff. Please tell me if I have made this up in my dreams or if someone else remembers this is crucial to my adult life
the concept of butchfemme markhelly but helly’s the butch and mark’s the femme
Saw some funny redraws of @unpeeled-human 's comic panels and it really reminded me of how every spirit in the first season reacted to Mob.
i'm like if a lover hated everything they see

broadcasting your mental illness publicly on the internet is not cool funny or quirky actually. you just make kids kill themselves
not a single reliable narrator in sight
