‘On February 20, 1956, local officials issued warrants for the arrests of civil rights activists, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Jo Ann Robinson, Rosa Parks, and Rev. Ralph Abernathy, for organizing the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The following day, a grand jury indicted 89 of the leaders of the boycott, accusing them of violating a 1921 statute forbidding boycotts without “just cause.”’

sound familiar?

Currently the thing I hate most about being trans is that none of the clothes I want to wear will fit me and it's not something that can be fixed :(

Trivial in comparison to a lot of the issues we face but I can ignore the world while WFH and I'm naive enough to think the social issues might improve.

Maybe I just need to learn how to sew...

And pay £££ for some bespoke shoes :S

I'm no fan of name-calling (who the fuck am I kidding I love that shit), but I saw "Elongated Muskrat" on a post on here and had to nod my head slowly and mentally do a chef's kiss + slow clap.
