*said With Gay Derision* They Haven't Even Read The Book It's Based On

This is Sam Nordquist. He was a transgender man who was lured to my hometown back in September by his Internet girlfriend. She and four other individuals then proceeded to torture and kill him, leaving his body in a field. I'm absolutely gutted. The misunderstanding for the trans community that leads to this sort of hatred is something that I just will never understand. I'm so sorry, Sam. You deserved so much more than this.

If you are able, please donate and share the GoFundMe set up by his sister. She and Sam's mom have made it to New York, but now they will have to go through the horrible process of arranging his funeral and transporting his body back home.

Some good news in this darkness. Lent starts tomorrow (I think) - praying Sudanese Copts are safe; Ramadan is still some time later ....

something about jv suddenly being all willing to criticize tumblr’s racism makes me feel gross. maybe this is just my personal grudge speaking, and if that’s the case then i should be ashamed, but i remember him basically implying that i was lying when i said that tumblr staff did not respond to my reports of white supremacists on here. i also seem to recall that several of the other users that he mocked and berated for raising similar complaints about staff were black.

so this feels very hollow now. to me.

How it feels to have friends and hang out with them

Maybe this goes without saying, but DO NOT trust google’s AI results if you search something about bugs. Every single AI result I’ve seen about bugs so far has been wildly incorrect.

"good work banning tiktok team! Now the youth will no longer be exposed to anti American propaganda!"

"did they all move to Facebook or Twitter?"

"no sir, they all moved to a Chinese owned site populated almost entirely by Chinese people"

Monkey Man was dope, but I didn't realize it would be that kind of dope.
