Why in the world is Nicole wearing lace pants at work? Are dress codes or even simple decorum no longer a thing? #beyondthegates #btg

Even if there was theft, a pack of diapers in no way merits gunfire to recover it. This is appalling on so many levels I can’t even begin to calculate.

Just finished reading @hughryan.bsky.social's new memoir, My Bad: A Personal History of the Queer Nineties and Beyond. It is as excellent & more than I expected it to be. Is it weird to have a favorite historian? Ready to pass it on but don’t want to let it go. bookshop.org/p/books/my-b...

I was all disappointed to lose my Paramount hookup today of all days, but given what I’m reading here I’m not gonna bother to seek out an alternative. I don’t want to watch these developing storylines with Dani/Andre/Bill/Ashley. This isn’t entertaining to me. I’m out. #btg #beyondthegates

First time since this show started I just couldn’t take the sounds of Jacob’s & Ashley’s bad-acting voices & fast-forwarded through all their scenes. When the Paramount+ subscription runs out in a couple of weeks, I think I’m done. This show could have been so much more. #BeyondTheGates #BTG

I dread to see what kind of drama they’ve cooked up for Donnell and possibly Deanna. Those characters have barely gotten to establish themselves. Plus, months of nothing and now everything is happening next week?? Jesus be a writer’s room that understands pacing. #BeyondTheGates #BTG

The push for sex verification tests is rooted in racism and they're explicit about it. Not a surprise they want to eliminate the 3 Black women in this photo.

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Mark Shearman MBE (@AthleticsImages).
The text of the post reads: "After today's excellent decision by the IOC.,if the Rio 2016 women's 800m. was held today, the 3 medallists in my photo. Wambui, Niyonsaba & Semenya would be barred and the medals would go to Canada's Melissa Bishop, Poland's Joanna Jozwik & GB's Lynsey Sharp @AthleticsWeekly"
Below the text is a photograph of several female track athletes running a race on a blue track. Prominently featured in the front pack are runners wearing race bibs that say Wambui (wearing a red Kenya uniform), Niyonsaba (wearing a green, white, and red Burundi uniform), and Semenya (wearing a green and yellow South Africa uniform). Several other runners, including one with the name Arzamasova, are visible trailing slightly behind them.

If you want to get a sense of how fucked & racist this country is, come spend some time with me in the records, where today I happened upon the case of a free Black Marylander, Charles Lee, who purchased his own family from a Catholic college only to be prevented by law from freeing them.

Screenshot of a page from the Acts of the Maryland General Assembly of 1835:

Chapter 86
An Act in favor of Charles Lee, a free man of Colour, in Frederick county.
Whereas, it is represented to this General Assembly, that Charles Lee of Frederick county, a free man of colur, has, from the proceeds of his industry, purchased his wife Catherin and his children, Ann, William, Catherin and Cecilia Lee, from the
Principal of Mount St. Mary's College in said county, but owing to the provisions of an act of Assembly passed at December session eighteen hundred and thirty one, chapter 281, he cannot manumit the same:-- Therefore.
Be it enacted by teh General Assembly of Maryland, Thatupon the said Charles Lee, filing deeds of manumission for his said wife and children, in Frederick county, agreeably to the law in such case made and provided, that the said Catherine Lee, and Ann, William, Catherine and Cecilia Lee, be and they are hereby declared free and manumitted, and entitled to all the privileges and immunities which free persons of colour are entitled to, under the existing laws of this State, any law to the contrary notwithstanding.

Detained by ICE, he missed multiple cancer treatments. Now he’s in hospice.

Some immigrants with chronic health problems were swept up by ICE in Minnesota, leading to missed medications and, for one man, missed chemotherapy sessions.
