The story behind Orange Shirt Day
Orange shirt day was created by Phillish Webstad of Stswecemʼc Xgetʼtem First Nation. "I went to Mission for one school year in 1973/74. I had just turned 6 years old. I lived with my grandmother on the Dog Creek reserve. We never had very much money, but somehow my granny managed to buy me a new outfit to go to Mission school. I remember going to Robinson's store and picking out a shiny orange shirt. It had string laced up in front, and was so bright and exiting - just like I felt to be going to school! When I got to the Mission, they stripped me, and took away my clothes, including the orange shirt! I never wore it again. I didn't understand why they wouldn't give it back to me, it was mine! The color orange has always reminded me of that and how my feelings didn't matter, how no one cared and how I felt like I was worth nothing. All of us little children were crying and no one cared"

"A.i." is a tool of fascism. These LLMs are controlled by far right billionaires and absolutely can be manipulated to crank up racism, bigotry, and fascist lies. Keep this shit out of schools, government, and every aspect of your lives.

Love this way of looking at life In universe terms, we are all meaningless specks of dust, a brief spark of existence and extinguished as soon as we came into being I find this so calming And have you noticed how the people who are desperate to be remembered are often the worst people?

Stories like this take me back to the l&d room when the nurse went over my birth plan and asked if I wanted to keep the placenta (throw it in the trash) and if I wanted the vitamin K shot (of course, do all the things) and how she smiled with *relief* at my incredibly normal responses

it's very frustrating that republicans are doing the things they said they were going to do, that we said they were going to do and that the "reasonable concerns" were an obvious prelude to, and NOW they're realizing that's the whole game, but I guess better late than never

Definitely click through on this story for the quotes from the Third Way spokesperson, who AGREED Democratic candidates should NOT adopt Republican language on trans issues. I was floored - even tried to get Billie to put it in the headline. This is not just analysis, these quotes are news.

Heritage Fndn recommends outlawing gender-affirming care for all ages through a strategy described as "radical incrementalism." Kevin Roberts explicitly stated on the PBD podcast that their ideal position is to "outlaw it," aiming to ban sex-reassignment surgeries & related treatments nationwide.

For a transphobe to reject a pedophile or domestic abuser, they would have to actually support bodily autonomy and consent. They don't, they instead such as invite *both* Epstein and Prince Andrew to their child actors' opening night parties.

Transphobes will embrace and ally themselves with every pedophile, rapist, and domestic abuser because they fundamentally agree completely with them about bodily autonomy and consent Transphobes are unable to *not* see a huge obviously abusive piece of shit and immediately support them.

Transphobes will rush to defend sex trafficking pedophiles and future family annihilators because they don't see rejection of consent and bodily autonomy as a red flag. It's literally all they will ever, ever post about, they burn their lives to fuel their obsession with it.

This is also why I hate Jon Hamm. He beat and tortured a freshman in the process of hazing that included dragging him around by his genitals that were looped around the claw of a hammer. The pledge suffered severe injuries and dropped out of school. I can’t get over that

I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it

Another thing about fraternities is that the hazing rituals where slightly older young men would physically, mentally emotionally and sometimes even sexually abuse slightly younger young men have always disturbed and upset me greatly. And it’s really telling that I’ve seen men defend those too
