She/Her Desperately hoping we can save the US from falling even further into authoritarianism and install a new and improved Democracy so I can get back to squeeing over WangXian, YiZhan, HuaLian, BTS, K-pop, K and C dramas.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

NASA image acquired: June 03, 2012

This scene is to the northwest of the recently named crater Magritte, in Mercury's south. The image is not map projected; the larger crater actually sits to the north of the two smaller ones. The shadowing helps define the striking "Mickey Mouse" resemblance, created by the accumulation of craters over Mercury's long geologic history.

This image was acquired as part of MDIS's high-incidence-angle base map. The high-incidence-angle base map is a major mapping activity in MESSENGER's extended mission and complements the surface morphology base map of MESSENGER's primary mission that was acquired under generally more moderate incidence angles. High incidence angles, achieved when the Sun is near the horizon, result in long shadows that accentuate the small-scale topography of geologic features. The high-incidence-angle base map is being acquired with an average resolution of 200 meters/pixel.

The MESSENGER spacecraft is the first ever to orbit the planet Mercury, and the spacecraft's seven scientific instruments and radio science investigation are unraveling the history and evolution of the Solar System's innermost planet. Visit the Why Mercury? section of this website to learn more about the key science questions that the MESSENGER mission is addressing. During the one-year primary mission, MESSENGER acquired 88,746 images and extensive other data sets. MESSENGER is now in a yearlong extended mission, during which plans call fo...

Lady Meng Jiang was a beauty during the time of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty. Shortly after their marriage, her husband Wan Qiuliang (aka Wan Qiliang, Fan Xiliang, etc) was taken away by government officials to labor on the construction of the Great Wall and Shanhaiguan. Lady Meng Jiang, concerned about the cold northern weather, traveled a long distance to bring warm clothes to her husband. Finally arriving at the Great Wall on the first day of October, she was informed that Quliang had died from illness due to unsuitability to the local environment and had been buried along with many other laborers who died from plague and overwork in a mass grave. 1/2

Due to official relocation of the wall, their graves ended up beneath the Great Wall. Lady Meng Jiang cried out in sorrow, causing an 800-mile stretch of the Great Wall to collapse. Finding only whitened bones of the laborers beneath the wall, she prayed to the heavens, hoping to find her husband's remains. She then pricked her finger with a hairpin, letting blood drip among a pile of dry bones. Her blood stuck to a particular set of bones. Overwhelmed with grief, she covered the bones with her clothing and buried them. 2/2

Lady Meng Jiang wept so fiercely at the Great Wall that it crumbled, stone by stone, revealing her husband’s buried body.
In Chinese #folklore, she’s not just a grieving widow, but a voice for the countless lives lost to imperial ambition. Her tears tore through silence, 1/2

An illustration of Koya (a blue Koala created by RM of BTS). They're sleeping on a grassy hill under a bright round moon. A few clouds and Koya are illuminated by moonlight. The whole illustration is drawn using acrylic markers. The illustration is mostly a dark blue thanks to the night sky, a little bit of dark green because of the grassy hill, and a pale yellow because of the moon and the light the moon emits

I am honestly unsure at this point if the government will ever open back up in its previous form. The RIFs coupled with what will likely be massive nationwide protests on the 18th is, I think, going to push Miller and co. into trying to create an alternate structure to consolidate more power.

And the scope of his lie! He's lying about the event he's describing, then lying about his reaction to an event that's nothing like what he describes, then he's crafting a big narrative about how he and others have been patient with a nonexistent situation. In other times we'd call this psychopathy.

Yes, America, he is referring to the 100% peaceful No Kings rallies that have literally nothing to do with Hamas or antifa or hating America.

America has been gaslit by these lunatics every day for a decade, and at some point the other shoe will dropβ€”though I have no idea what or when that will be.

ICE Stranded a 17-Year-Old on I-20 After Arresting His Father. The Mississippi Dad Now Faces Deportation. A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sightβ€”soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

I don't listen to Taylor Swift. I liked 1 song on Red, but haven't listened to it in at least 10 years.
So Spotify why are you inserting Taylor's songs into my K-pop playlists? Driving home today, sandwiched between RM's Seoul and The Rose's Slowly was Eldest Daughter. Blech, yuck, and fuck no.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.
