I’m a cis white male American Sign Language interpreter. I go into a lot of places and am nearly always welcomed and treated well. Mostly, I think it’s because of my work, but I’m aware my race and gender play a part too. That said, there are few places I feel my privilege more keenly than in courthouses. More than half the time, I’m waved past the metal detectors. I can walk past the bar in courtrooms without being stopped by bailiffs. When court staff learn who I am, I’m often greeted with friendliness, even deference sometimes, as there aren’t many people who do what I do.

When I see how others who don’t look or dress like me are treated while in the same spaces, I’m forcefully reminded that there are still two Americas. There is still so much work to do in the US, and I’m committed to that work.

In terms of equality and personal freedoms, this November is going to be the most critical and consequential election I’ve ever witnessed in my (not so short) lifetime. Please, please, please vote for democracy and against totalitarianism - because that’s what this vote will be. I’m more convinced of that than ever.

a sneaky thing some websites do and I absolutely hate it is when you write your credentials on login screen and instead of saying "we have no user with this username here" the fuckshitsuckcock website registers you as if this was a signup screen and then has the audacity to ask for your phone number

cool, less boobs on screen and more annoying faggots claiming Ranma as some kind of "nonbinary icon!! :soyjak_trio: "

ice cold take but animal crossing should've never featured skin color customization and "black" hair

this reminds me how a long time ago I saw a giga-rant about nazis being some kind of delusional fanatics who literally "believed they were god-chosen people" and could only think "uh, I believe this was someone else"

Så, ordningen återställd efter att okänd marodör ryckt progress pride-märket som kom upp efter att jag fått fascistpropaganda i brevlådan. Sidan fick lite färg den här gången också, the more the merrier!
