Miss Major Griffin-Gracy passed away today according to the House of GG. She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

Thinking about the amount of time terfs have directly made my day worse (loads) even as a cis woman, versus the bad interactions I've had with trans people (zero). And how much the trans folks I know and love have enriched my life. Absolutely fuming at the wider harm terfs have created in this world

Calling all gender outlaws! Leslie Feinberg—self-described “working-class, secular Jewish, transgender, lesbian, female, revolutionary communist” and the first theorist to advance the marxist concept of “transgender liberation”—was born today in 1949.

I searched "how to steal time from work" for some tips (I don't have a boss, I'm writing a zine where I encourage people to do this) and every result is an article about how to PREVENT time theft for employers. We really have lost the internet to terrible forces.
