like i say every time this comes up, the term for what awaits survivors who go through the official system (cops, rape kit at the hospital, the hell of a trial where you as the victim get to be cross examined by yr rapist’s defense) is called “the second rape”

For at least an hour, and it still has not been removed, Google has allowed a fake tweet by our mayor be the first entry if you type "Mamdani Talmud" as your search term. The fake entry is wildly antisemitic and the person who's company perpetrated this horror sat next to the president today.

Alright, we managed a hearty 1,010 words today, which isn't bad. I started Chapter Four, only to realize the stuff I was writing actually belonged in Chapter Three, so I had to move it over. But I'm now a whole 354 words into CH4, so that's nice. Long live progress!

As a survivor reading between the lines of this very carefully written story it sounds like Jonathan McKinsey was a trans man in an abusive and controlling marriage who was targeted for violence repeatedly by his ex-wife and her parents and eventually murdered. But as a reporter? I can't be sure.

"You’re looking at four to five times the risk of eviction for a Black renter relative to a white renter. “Black renters with household incomes of over $80,000 a year are still at greater risk of eviction than a white household that’s making $20,000 a year. atlanta.capitalbnews.org/metro-atlant...

I didn’t make my 1,000 word goal today, but I did add a very important twist to Chapter Three, which gives it much more depth. So, that feels like a HUGE win, and I’ll take it!

So much of what we are confronting today is best understood by the actions undertaken by white communities in response to integration orders. White supremacy is a form of democratic nihilism. Every institution, norm, and value of democracy will be sacrificed for it. calendar.eji.org/racial-injus...

Didn't make 1,000 words yesterday, either. Spent the day showing the new aide the caregiving ropes for my dad, who has Alzheimer's-related dementia. And by the time she left, I had to watch him myself, so 300 words was the most I could eke out. Life happens.

Mamie "Peanut" Johnson was a really good baseball player. So at 17, she tried out for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. She was rejected. Because... Black. But she'd go on to be the second woman in the Negro League, and first & only pitcher. She was born 91yrs ago today
