Update from the man himself
everyone say thank you to black trans women and black trans men
i wish people who dunk on “silly” southern accents and vernacular could experience the total derealization that comes with listening to yourself talk and realizing that it’s not your real voice anymore. i spent so many years flattening my accent to sound smarter that i have to remind myself constantly that it’s okay to use my real fucking voice. i’ve had customers at my job make fun of me to my face when i let it slip. when i’m public speaking or even speaking in class with my peers it goes away completely because i’m so terrified of being perceived as a hick. just imagine opening your mouth and hearing a strangers’ voice come out. i can’t stress how viscerally upsetting it is to not know what the real you sounds like anymore. just think for two seconds before you yell about how you can’t take southern or appalachian dialects seriously or i will blow you up with this bombbbbb i swear to godddddd
It's an open notes test and some dense motherfuckers still can't figure out the answers.
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!
we did NOT have a period of discourse about how 'if trans women don't pass as women, but they do pass as men, they don't pass as men - they pass as 'queer' or 'other'' for yous to fucking go 'if trans men don't pass as men, which they're privileged for if they do, then they pass 100% as cis women, which they're privileged for when they do'
like SHUT UPPPPPPP I DID NOT PASS AS A CIS WOMAN EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS A DYKE/TRANNY/QUEER. I NEVER PASSED AS 'WOMAN' I PASSED AS 'FREAK OF NATURE'. I WAS BARELY TREATED LIKE A HUMAN BEING LET ALONE A WOMAN

Yknow what like yes Im a Brendon Urie hater and a Ryan Ross lover that's very typical but I really am just enamored by Nearly Witches (and cannot believe he seemed to not give a shit about it being finished) and I think the entire Vices and Virtues album is underrated in general but like
