Let's start with the possibility of a live-action Spider Noir series. Mostly because I think that Nicholas Cage would enjoy getting to play the character on a regular basis.
Regina Twala did excellent research on African communities and customs, but her name does not survive because many of the white men who asked her to do this research then appropriated it as their own work without credit. And because racism, the academic system didn't find anything wrong with this idea. Wallace Stegner plagarized Mary Hallock Foote, and John Steinbeck got the notes of Sanora Babb and because he published first, her book never made it until nearly her death. Several relationships between authors and their wives demonstrate a clear issue where insecurity and jealousy lead to trying to sabotage or control a wife. But because there's an entire amount of justification for the biases already written into society, things continue unfairly and unabated.
Brianna Ghey, a sixteen year-old trans girl, has been murdered, and while there are suspects currently in custody, this was a preventable thing. The police have decided they will investigate it as a hate crime, which seems eminently sensible given that the climate of England seems to be taking its cues from the same people the U.S.'s version of virulent transmisia is. Vigils were held across the the country in her memory, as well as in other countries.
Those who would do violence to you or kill you often cannot be dissuaded from their cause with only nonviolent methods. The sanitized version of struggle presented believes nonviolence can solve all things, but nonviolence sometimes only works because there is the threat or the reality of violence behind it.

dw_news post yet, Dreamwidth lent their voice to a case trying to prevent an overbroad law that would require age-verification, likely through facial-recognition software, to access any site that might carry information harmful to minors, as deemed by the State of California. The news post has an excellent laity-accessible summary of the reasons why Dreamwidth is speaking up on this case, but you can also read the filed declaration describing Dreamwidth's extensive privacy practices and how the law would affect the ability of Dreamwidth to provide its core services and produce several no-win scenarios for the site and its users.
( All the Rest Under The Cut )
Last out for tonight, several of the impediments people encounter when trying to articulate and share how to care for themselves, and then a form that you could fill out and share with people as a way of having that information to hand. An example form is available to peruse, as well as a copyable version of the example form from the linked main article.
Tears Waiting To Be Diamonds: Part One and Tears Waiting To Be Diamonds: Part Two, a new story in the In Other Lands universe from Sarah Rees Brennan.
And a history of the presence of the leather community and leathermen during the approximate period of 1965-1995, with as many cites as could be scrounged up. It's fascinating, and long, and reinforces the point that kink has always been a part of queer organization and the conception of Pride, and the tension between trying to present yourself as normal and acceptable and to present yourself as exactly the person you are has been there from the beginning of organization and trying to get the society around you to leave you alone to be who you are. I'll put this next to The Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, marched in a Mardi Gras Pride parade, becoming the first PM to do so. For reasons.
