"At what age is it best to crush a child’s dreams so that they have an easier time stepping in to the status quo?"

"You fool. You do not do such things to children. A child is like a poison missile you aim at the Future. You encourage, fund and resource their dreams to the fullest extent of your capability, knowing that your reward will be the pain and misery of generations yet unborn."

-- Warren Ellis

POSIX, motherfucker! Do you implement it?

it is the human birthright to be made of scars

A cool article about how exacting Fred Rogers was about the language used on his show so that it wouldn't confuse or accidentally mislead kids: https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2018/06/mr-rogers-neighborhood-talking-to-kids/562352/?single_page=true

I especially love the examples given.

Probably a good time to reiterate:

admire all lesbians in your life

@zigg Hirschfeld gave hormones to trans people and looked into SRS. The Nazis burned his research, went after his HRT patients, and now TERFs say we didn’t exist before WWII.

The current episode of the #HistoryIsGay #podcast is _really_ good, but it's not lightweight. It's about Magnus Hirschfeld and what the Nazis did not just to his Institute of Sexual Science, but to his patients—they used his patient lists to hunt down homosexuals, imprisoning them or sending them to concentration camps.

I've always known the Holocaust was terrible. It feels uniquely horrible, though, when it's personal.

the same way that they have tried to make gay people into just straights who happen to like the same gender

they will try to make trans people into just cis folks who happen to have different bodies

and resist the heck out of that shit imo
