MODERATORS
 

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".

concocting an accelerationist ideology that leads my dunmer to the conclusion that colluding with the occupiers will eventually destroy the slave economy, the next mode of production will aid Resdayn's liberation more than the calcified plantation systems

Has anyone cosigned or used a cosigner for a lease?

Do they check your credit if you tell them up front you have a cosigner and no credit

[–] solongbeengood@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, they still will run a credit check for both.

Dumbest post I've ever thought of:

Just had the thought that all the future Amerikkkan presidential candidates are going to be senile/advanced dementia because they're easier for the blob/deep state/bourgeoise to work around and do what they were going to do anyway, instead of having to make deals with a younger politician who has opinions of their own and can function after 4 PM.

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 :/

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

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The new variant sucks a bit, sorry TR devs vivian-shrug

I've done model swaps like this now and then, the Combat Armour MkII in New Vegas is so bad I grabbed someone's Fallout 3 combat armour mod and switched it in.

I feel sad and depleted. But not hopelessly so, my life is looking up I think. Probability of local revolution low though

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Interesting that the megathread is "Sylvia Rivera" themed, I was just looking into them because she was mentioned in the new Avelo video.

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.

One of the vote libs from the debate-era threads started responding to the thread again. I actually feel a little bad that it's still living in their head. Why continue fighting on the Internet when the audience is long gone?

Anime where the plot progression goes from All Time Low's Dear Maria as the opening to Rise Against's The Violence for the next season.
