Sylvia Rivera, born on July 2 in 1951, was a Latina American queer rights activist, member of the Gay Liberation Front, and community worker from the state of New York.

Rivera, who identified as a "half-sister", participated in demonstrations with the Gay Liberation Front. With her close friend Marsha P. Johnson, Rivera co-founded the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR), a socialist group dedicated to helping homeless young drag queens, gay youth, and trans women.

At different times in her life, Rivera battled substance abuse and lived on the streets, largely in the gay homeless community at the Christopher Street docks. Her experiences made her more focused on advocacy for those who, in her view, mainstream society and the assimilationist factions of the LGBT community were leaving behind.

Rivera died during the dawn hours of February 19th, 2002, at St. Vincent's Hospital, of complications from liver cancer. Activist Riki Wilchins said this of her: "In many ways, Sylvia was the Rosa Parks of the modern transgender movement, a term that was not even coined until two decades after Stonewall".

cw wh*te south african guy, racism, very cursed, awfulThe company I worked at for five years, I knew personally the vice president of operations, basically the head of the whole corp since the actual company president or whatever was like 120 years old. Was a friend of my mother's.

One of the memories I have is this guy giving an anecdote about having to flee his country, on account of gangs of roving bandits commiting Lindisfarne style rapine and slaughter. At the time I was like 17 had no fucking idea what this guy was talking about, and assumed he was just having a senior moment, (the guy is like 80 now) but once I got on bear website I connected the dots and realised... oh, he's talking about fleeing South Africa after apartheid ended down there. Man's was doin' a racism sadness-abysmal at the fucking dinner table, with family and friends.

Ain't seen the guy in ages but holy shit the psychic damage, remembering this incident oh-shit

So, I was walking by a bus stop where a few I dunno between 14 and 17 year old kids were waiting and an ambulance with sirens pulls up and pulls an older lady out of her car. I see one pull out a phone and while I couldn't make it out, said something to another kid who went into a stance like he was about to run towards this medical emergency and then thankfully chickened out. Whatever they were planning to film with a medical emergency as their opportunity couldn't be good and I was ready to tackle that kid if he made the slightest move towards the EMTs.

Edit: this is such a chud dad story, I know. But it put me in a bad mood to see someone pulling out their phone as a response to an ambulance and I was a shithead kid trained on jackass, I can see what it looks like when someone with a camera is daring another kid to do something terrible. Been on both sides of the lense there, I could even sorta hear the kid being dared making excuses like he would do it but etc...I don't wanna seem like I'm saying I'm the would be hero cause I was ready to knock down a child to help EMTs here

One of the shames of there being no Fallout 4 equivalent of New Vegas, is that Fallout 4 has a whole host of clean textures for clothes, furniture, buildings, trees etc. You could do the post-post-apocalypse setting of a place like Vault City from Fallout 2, unlike New Vegas where they said in dialogue the NCR had trucks but could only ever show wrecks.

Even in a pure fantasy libs can't go whole hog. They have to hedge. Emphasis mine.

I am so tired of the already elected saying that things hinge on the next election. Do more now and run on it. If I was president the day I learned that crimes were legal for me I might act on that knowledge and get the Supreme Court in line.

What if you took like a marinara or tomato based sauce and put so much garlic in it that it emulsified in the food processor like some kinda tomato based aioli

Not sure if my misphonia triggering more easily is linked to me just getting older and crankier or if they are two separate, unlinked phenomena.

If you ever want me out of a room ASAP, just bounce your leg up and down for 30 seconds or clang some silverware, I will leave a cartoon dust cloud.

Can't tell if my boss is lazy like me or just genuinely doesn't understand things sometimes. Brought up something almost certainly being misused to cover my own ass and she basically said it's fine. Whatever, not my problem anymore lmao

I've always said there should be an approval process for individual users to say certain slurs. For instance, I should be able to say removed and removed, but these removed mods won't let me

I found out that Google has an employee run orchestra and its all asian and white people. It doesnt sound bad. And like gee an overlap of people with extensive musical training and high paying jobs I wonder what the correlation is there.

The more I spend with music the more I become cynical with the idea of it being a force for healing. It seems like its more of a way to distract rich people from ruining the world even further.

they redesigned the coolest bonemold variant in TR in 2023 so i downloaded an old version of the data repository, scraped the old one out and reinstalled it over the newer version. kind of glorious how easy morrowind tools are to work with & the small size of everything makes lil shenanigans like that possible.
but fr isn't that (one on the left) just chefs-kiss the hell is this new version it somehow looks older

wtf is up with the assertion made by reactionaries in the US that people are just committing crimes and then getting let go or slapped with a minor fine instead of jail time? seems to contradict literally everything i know about the penal system.

Had to have a meeting with my boss about how bad my trainer is. I even brought receipts and 3 sticky notes of the shit shes been doing.

I know my boss will bring this to her boss and my trainer's boss but there's a weird thing where my trainer gets away with everything so it might just succeed in making a work enemy for me :/
