The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police โ€” but she kept fighting.

See what heโ€™s doing here? Beware, youโ€™re going to see a lot of this shit in the coming days: the conflation of the colonizers and the colonized, of the perpetrators and victims of genocide. Insidiousโ€”a beer summit of genocide denial. A flattening of the โ€œdaily experiencesโ€ of killers & killed.

Iโ€™ve been working on this for 2 years. There have bumps along the way, crazy drama that could be in a soap, but the time is now. Help me build a freedom school. Help me fight fascism:

Not defending the original critique but just pointing out that wars result in massive carbon output and release thousands of tons of toxins into the atmosphere in addition to causing mass death which isโ€ฆ different than not adding to the current population.

I think itโ€™s totally fine to be historically inaccurate if your fiction is good but historically inaccurate Holocaust narrative in schlocky, somehow saccharine horror is just unreadable.

Every single time a decision about K-12 or college education is made with "career readiness" at the forefront, we are doing harm to students, our mission, and society at large.
