I saw the latest reveal of the Murderbot graphic novel page, on which Murderbot clearly has brown skin, and went "wait, wasn't the graphic novel original character design for Murderbot white?" Yes, it was! They changed it because they LISTENED TO FAN FEEDBACK!

I'm not at all an expert in this very sensitive topic, but I know a lot of avid fans who resonated with the themes of oppression in the Murderbot Diaries are really hoping for a canon Murderbot of color. Thank you for taking care to listen to feedback.

(2/2) Yes, the real reason people in power want to ban trans kids from playing in sports in their identified gender is because they hate trans people. But the "oh the poor girls will lose now" argument has trickled down to people who think they're being logical.

It's wild that so many people think of kids' sports only as means to an end to championships and scholarships, and not as the social and responsibility-building recreational activities they are for 99% of the kids participating. Let kids be kids. This is a post about trans kids in sports.

Aspen: "Somebody shot me today." Me: "No, you mean you 'got a shot'. The nice vet tech gave it to you." Aspen: "They shot me right in the butt." Me: "But you also got cheese wiz immediately after. I'm surprised you even remember the shot." Aspen: "... the cheese was pretty good, I guess."

Once again, stop giving a pass to the regime by assuming these agents are new and poorly trained. The default position should be that they are experienced, trained, and doing what they have been trained to do.

She said she and her volunteers have been tailed by ICE, and that agents have even shown up at her residence because some of the delivery vans they use are registered in her name.

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center. Read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/vide...

"Arnoldo had filmed much of the incident, but agents had taken his phone. He used Find My to locate the phone — at a vending machine for used electronics miles away, close to an ICE detention center. The footage, which ProPublica has reviewed, backed the family’s account of the chase."

Reports and videos show ICE agents asking American citizens whether they’ve “learned their lesson over the last few days” are deeply troubling. Language like this implies intent and raises serious questions about premeditation and mindset on the scene.

if you're looking for a non-appropriative alternative: "may their memory be a revolution" started in the Orthodox Jewish community for victims of domestic violence, but it was suggested by the head of the organization that came up with it for George Floyd, so I think it's ok to use more broadly
