The shadow work is so annoying

[andhumanslovedstories]

The other day on shift, I was walking down the hallway when a confused old man started yelling. This is fairly common in the hospital, so I ducked into his room and was like "hey dude what's up" and he's like "so sorry to yell but do you know where I am and what year it is" so I reoriented him to a bunch of stuff and explained why so many people were walking past his door, and he seemed much calmer and more oriented by the time we were done talking. And he says "and what's your name?" So I tell him "Sarah" and he stares at me so I repeat "Sarah" and he stares at me so I spell "S-A-R-A-H" and he stares at me so I show him my name badge and he stares at me and then he says "now forgive me for being so blunt. But I was under the impression that Sarah is a girls name. Is that no longer correct?"

Anyway y'all ever be so fucking gnc that you inadvertently gaslight a confused old man into thinking there's yet another part of the world he no longer understands?

Not to keep bragging about my masculine vibes, but another very pleasant dementia patient today called me nice young man. Assigned gender by Gladys.

#i always think about how beautiful it was for ryan coogler to cast buddy guy as older sammie #i often think about how people like to espouse the idea that we are "so far removed" from jim crow and segregation when creatives like buddy are still alive #a lot of the activists and figures are still alive! #idk the fact that he's living proof of the continued effects of chattel slavery on black americans is so bittersweet because he remembers such atrocities but he's also able to bestow wisdom and history for art pieces like sinners

Ryan Coogler said in an interview, btw, that part of why he thought of Buddy Guy was because his uncle loved seeing him – he'd get dressed up and go see him play live when he got the chance.

US Book ban on LGBTQIA books

The Nationwide Book Ban Bill Moves to the House: How to Take Action Now

The nationwide book ban bill, HR 7661, has progressed out of committee and into the House. Here's what you need to know to take action.

At least hit the shiny repost button if you're going to do nothing else. This should not stand.

Stop the bill dead in its tracks. LGBTQIA people have a right to be represented in books.

Of course the dirty secret here is that the reason we don't have this in the U.S. is that the mostly rich white men who have secured this system for themselves use the racism and sexism to scare everyone else into accepting things as they are. They want it to matter very much who your parents are because that will keep everyone in their "place."

"Comply or die" is a feature of fascism, not a feature of a free society.

What are people not getting?

If someone in "the roving gang of masked goons who disappear people into concentration camps with no accountability and uniforms with no ID that you can easily spoof on Amazon" are asking me to leave the safety of my car so they can have total control over me and my person, I'm at the very least hesitating.

Also ICE has no jurisdiction over US citizens, none of us have to listen to diddly shit from them, legally. Most conservatives are just so used to submitting to the will of whatever authority figure around them that their daddy figure of the day told them to.
