Man, you have to be just...really racist...not to come away from spending basically any time at all at an American university with a nearly boundless faith in the power of American assimilation. All sorts of students whose ancestors came from all over, utterly and completely American, all the way.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

Rubén Salazar was renowned for his hard-hitting journalism about the Mexican-American community. While reporting on 1970’s National Chicano Moratorium Against the Vietnam War, he was killed when a Los Angeles sheriff’s deputy launched a tear gas projectile into the crowd and struck him in the head.
Black and white photo of Ruben Salazar in a shirt and tie, with the words "Latine Heritage Month" above him. Below him it says "Photography Credit: Los Angeles Times." A quote reads: "'They don't want the press to rock the boat. And I think the press's obligation is to rock the boat." – Ruben Salazar. Trailblazing journalist, killed by law enforcement while covering the Chicano Moratorium." ACLU logo. Vibrant and colorful background and border.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a man sitting at a restaurant table. He is sweating. He says "Y-you have beautiful eyes".
The second panel zooms in on the man's face. He says, "I'm sorry. I'm just so nervous."
In panel three we see that a biblically accurate angel is sitting on the other side of the table.
In panel four we zoom in on the angel's face, who says "BE NOT AFRAID".

"Oftentimes when I'm explaining sexual assault to men, ! purposely DON'T use a man and a woman as the example. I intentionally use two men as the example.
And suddenly there are no technicalities, no debates, no "well what was he doing?" No "why did he go over there?" No "maybe he gave the wrong impression." Go
It's IMMEDIATELY, "OH HELL NO. That's sick. If another man ever did that to me, I'ma put him in the ground."
AH. So you Do get it Wo
You understand perfectly well that another person does not have the right to sexually violate you just because they wanted access to your body. You understand perfectly well that if you got drunk with your homeboy and, while you were intoxicated/ not conscious enough and vulnerable, he sexually assaulted you, you would NOT be sitting there blaming yourself for drinking with him. You wouldn't say, "Well, maybe I shouldn't have gotten that drunk around him." You'd be looking at HIM like, "Why the FUCK would you do that to me?"

The editor-Gales press up against Gale, who is distressed.

Editor 1: i bet you could start the scene later
Editor 2: if you need it at all?

The editors have multiplied. Gale tries to push them away.
