As expected. But the fight continues! ✊🏻 ✊🏿 ✊🏽 ✊🏼 ✊🏾 #solidarity!

"A far-right, pro-gun, pro-torture populist has been elected #Brazil’s next president, exit polls suggest, after a drama-filled and deeply divisive election that looks set to radically reforge the future of the world’s fourth biggest democracy.

Jair #Bolsonaro, […] secured 56% compared to his leftist rival Fernando Haddad’s 44%, according to exit polls."

Trying out size 40 thread, which is the finest I've ever used. So far, it makes my hands feel like I'm wearing oven mitts. Hoping to get nimble soon! (Quarter for scale) #crochet

Starting to see some stuff going around in different cities, and I’m going to put a list together, as well as phone, email, and geographical resources for reaching out to the DHHS OCR.

If you’re planning an action, please let me know— a lot of people have asked me about actions in other cities, and I’m not an organizer or with an organization, just a mad as hell person who wants to protect her friends at all costs, so fill me in!

for people who aren't on twitter or facebook, here's info on two rallies I found on birbsite:

tonight (sunday), NYC, washington square park, 6pm: Community Rally in Support of Trans and GNC Rights

tomorrow(Monday), Washington DC, White house: We Won't be Erased - Rally for Trans Rights 12:30pm

and their facebook event links (forgive me, hope they work w/o an account there)

Voting might be useless. Not voting is definitely useless. The cost of voting is usually low; the cost of not voting is frequently very high. So, vote. It won't be enough. But not voting is even farther from being sufficient. Vote to preserve conditions that make organizing possible. E.g. I'm able to contemplate organizing in 2019 because NYS has Medicaid expansion & thus I'm not deathly ill or bankrupt. That's all.

There were dents in the knight's armour.
"Shouldn't you get those hammered out?" the dragon asked.
"They do not hinder me," the knight said, "just remind me of other battles."
The dragon counted dents. "You won all those?"
"I lived through them all."
"Then I will not add more."

## What do you mean we weren't supposed to attack that string?

Humans are completely unreasonable. The string is so wiggly. Clearly we have to get it. What else could it be but prey?

Something I haven't seen come up in 'repair discourse' (IDK?) is that you can get very attached to things.

Not just any phone, *your* phone. The one that you have all the muscle memory for. The one that you can open the apps on without looking because you know exactly what the icon layout is.

Not just any T-shirt, but *your* T-shirt. Worn in exactly the right places. Just seeing it brings back so many memories.

You can get attached to stuff, but if it breaks and you can't fix it...

If your partner is straight and you are not, no matter what gender y’all are, it is

NOT.
A STRAIGHT.
RELATIONSHIP.

Stop letting heteronormativity claim your beautiful bi and pan relationships.

Mrrrr?
