I don't think it's a coincidence that so much discourse around marginalized people tends to revolve around how some of them CAN conform. They focus on ace people who like to have sex, autistics who are "high functioning," lesbians who have sex with men, non dysphoric trans people. This is presented

Sigh. Of course the woman in this story who works and fights as a knight at a ren faire is femme. Why did I have any hope that it wouldn't be love at first sight femme/femme? And she has a small scar near her eyebrow! Gods forbid a woman in fiction have an actual disfiguring scar.

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

Fuck OFF. The X-Men were not created to be a “persecution fantasy.” They were written so that people who are hated by others for circumstances of their birth or other ridiculous reasons could have relatable characters in Marvel. GOD, this comment just reeks of privilege and spelling errors.

The tech collective behind NoBlogs.org and a host of other free online initiatives has announced that they are shutting down as a consequence of the US State Department designating them a "global terrorist." This represents a significant blow to online freedom. keepitfree.ai/announcement...
The day we discovered we had been designated a global terrorist organization, we promised that we would try to resist as long as this was possible, that we would not back down as long as we could see options to stand our ground. For years, we have proudly maintained and defended a free, privacy-friendly, autonomous and politically committed infrastructure. 

“Stay human” is not an empty phrase to us.

It means, above all, that we have a responsibility to protect our users, those who build the human networks we rely, and for the communities who flooded us with messages of support and solidarity.Now turn off your PCs, get out of your homes, struggle, hug each other and keep on smiling. We are stopping, but the Resistance and ideas do not stop. Stay human.

We will soon send instructions on how to back up the content of your blogs, mailboxes and websites, along with more technical recommendations. But keep in mind that, just as the autistici.org domain was made unreachable without previous notice, in the next few days we might suffer similar issues that we may not be able to predict.

The Luddites were not beaten by technological progress. They were beaten because capitalists teamed up with the British crown to call up the largest domestic military occupation in the country’s history. The British government hung Luddites or shipped them to penal colonies in Australia
