My brain hurts …biden is too white for this role

[gryficowa]

In the sense, there is a white tiger (as I embrace Marvel as someone who is not his fan), and in nature there is a white leopard (snow leopard), but well, we are talking about Marvel

[pitbolshevik]

do..do you think we're talking about the marvel movie from 2018? is that what you think the youtube commenter means by "black panther"? the superhero movie?

We need happy and wholesome nice queer representation to remind us that being queer doesn't doom you to a short life of loneliness and misery and we need fucked up and toxic queer representation to remind us that queer people are human beings who are messy and complicated and are not required to be beacons of moral goodness

Marchers at the San Francisco Gay Day Parade

ph: Marie Ueda | 1977

[metropoliseaten]

Image Description: A black and white photograph of two marchers on a street, lined with observers. One carries a sign that reads, “A gay landlord is still a landlord,” interspersed with stars. End ID.

[sarcastic-socialist]

Very interesting how different this hits 50 years on. In its original context, the sign was presumably in the vein of "gay people are people too", part of the very necessary groundwork that pride was built upon.

However, through a modern lens, it's an effective statement against rainbow capitalism; "just because your landlord/boss/cop/soldier is gay/female/black/etc doesn't mean they aren't still inherently a bastard". This may be the original intent behind the sign, but the former seems more likely in the relatively early stages of the campaign for American LGBT rights

[genderoutlaws]

honey this was an anti landlord statement, in 1977 and today. the roots of this community are far more radical than you’re giving credit

[auntbutch]

smash the church, smash the state!: the early years of gay liberation is available on libgen and archive.org.* if you have any interest whatsoever in lgbtq politics and organizing in the U.S., you should read this book. there are other books as well, but i recommend this one in particular as a starter bc it’s a collection of writings from people directly involved in lgbtq activism in the 60s and 70s, so you’re going to get different (often conflicting) perspectives. 

*archive.org link requires signing up for a free account. you’ll then have access to countless other books and periodicals that cover lgbtq histories and cultures.

‘The biggest rollback of disability rights in a generation’ – Charities respond to Supreme Court ruling

The uk Supreme Court has just done a major rollback on disability rights and is putting more disabled people in danger

[roboticutie]

Under this new ruling, multiple vulnerable groups will be impacted across social care and healthcare sectors. If an autistic person with high support needs, someone with a serious mental illness, or a person with a severe learning disability is locked in a care setting and sedated, but does not actively protest, they will no longer be considered "confined" by the state. They will lose their automatic right to independent reviews, a legal advocate, and protection from closed care cultures.

This ruling states if someone is sedated and does not instigate a complaint regarding their circumstances while ACTIVELY SEDATED, then they have no right to legal checks and balances to preserve their wellbeing??? Is this correct??? The UK is falling apart.

[flowercrowncrip]

As far as I can tell from reading the statement by Mind and the BBC article, this ruling states that people who don’t have the legal capacity to understand why they’re being physically or chemically restrained/ kept in a locked care home or ward etc. are still able to give “consent” to that treatment in a way that it doesn’t count as a deprivation of liberty.

So if someone is chemically sedated, doesn’t understand that’s what’s happening, but doesn’t complain then they could be seen to be “consenting” to that treatment. That’s true even if they don’t know what the medication is, what the effects are, how long they last or that there might be other options.

Because the presence of “consent” means that a restriction wouldn’t be considered “Deprivation of Liberty” it means these people aren’t entitled to deprivation of liberty safeguards, which including having independent checks to make sure that any restrictions to their freedom is proportionate and that they’re not being abused in that setting.

One of the reasons the ruling was made is that it placed an “undue burden” on local authorities. Basically local governments were like “hey we’re massively failing our legal duties to protect incredibly vulnerable people from abuse, any chance you could let us off so we don’t have to do it?” And the UK Supreme Court agreed with them.
