Hi y’all. Let’s talk about criminalization of HIV status and how it intersects with covid-19, BLM, immigration justice, criminalization of sex work, and the prison industrial complex in the US.

As a disclosure: I’m not a lawyer, I’m just a sex educator who’s deeply invested in social justice and community health. Also, ACAB. HIV criminalization, like all injustices, are tied to all other injustices in our societies.

Today's gender is anxiety and the smell of honeysuckle.

I know it's a lot to ask, and everyone has a lot of things going on and a lot of pressing issues that demand their attention and funds, but if anyone can spare anything for a young, broke, homeless latina trans woman rn, I would appreciate it immensely.

Participating can be done from home - they need you to complete a questionnaire and send a saliva sample via post, in early 2021. The FAQ on the website confirms no biopsychosocial researchers are involved.

hello my name is Jessica and i need a job.

i have a PhD in Computer Science specializing in Machine Learning and Computer Vision, but at this point i would take nearly any programming work.

i have experience numerous languages, operating systems, frameworks, and toolkits.

i am also an autistic transgender lesbian so any work i take has to be accommodating.

i'm currently living in east coast USA but willing to relocate nearly anywhere.

résumé available on request, thank you ✨

It’s a fine night in the cybercafé, and you are a wonderful drake.

surprisingly good article from the BBC on the murder of Sheku Bayoh by Scottish police in 2015. no justice no peace.

💜 Non-binary does not necessarily mean androgynous
💛 It's okay to question your gender identity
🤍 It's okay if your pronouns change
🖤 Your feelings are legitimate

Queer update: Just so you know, I'm feeling commendably queer.

probably like 90% of the inquiries to Ask a Manager would not exist if the letter writers were in a union, my god Americans truly do not realize how abusive most workplaces are and how individualizing problems is one of the most effective ways in which management prevents possible unionization or solidarity actions

Happy pride month. Kind of a coming out: I wrote a blog post about how gender isn't a fixed thing and the trans community needs to be better at unlearning the gender binary.

The Midtown Global Market is just over halfway to its goal for recovering from the events at the end of May.

And they're just a fraction of a block of several miles of Lake street that was destroyed.

This isn't even a fundraising ask (though if you have resources that aren't better used elsewhere, my community has needs), just an observation at how many people were affected and that philanthropy and private generosity isn't likely to remediate the harm that was done.

a few people have expressed their desire to help me out with a ridiculous medical bill, asking if i would set up a gofundme so i did

please, if you are in a tight spot yourself, take care of you first. this is like, the most absurd time possible for debt collectors to come knocking for me but i suppose thats why they did it. i've made my first payment today and another isn't due until july 18th.

if you can and want to help, thank you! let me know if there's anything i can do in return for you. if you can't, that's totally cool. this is not an emergency need, i'm just broke and its gonna suck paying this off lol (boosts are ok)

Got it, reading now. The holding is simple: "An employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender violates Title VII'.

This is really good news because it applies nationwide. (Fewer than half of states currently have non-discrimination protections on the basis of gender identity. A dozen or so have no protections of any sort for any LGBTQ+ employees.)
