The ruling will have enormous impacts for transgender residents in the state.
HOLY SHIT
"The Montana court separately declared that transgender people constitute a suspect class under the state's equal protection clause. In legal terms, a suspect class is a group that has historically faced such severe discrimination that any law targeting them must meet the highest level of judicial scrutiny to survive—the same standard applied to laws that discriminate on the basis of race. [...] The practical effect is sweeping: any Montana law that singles out transgender people will now face strict scrutiny, meaning the state must prove the law serves a compelling interest and is narrowly tailored to achieve it—a standard that laws almost never survive.
"Because the decision rests entirely on the Montana Constitution, it is insulated from the U.S. Supreme Court. Under the principle of adequate and independent state grounds, the federal Supreme Court cannot review a state court's interpretation of its own constitution, so long as that constitution provides more protection than the federal one. [...] What this means in practice is that Montana's transgender residents now have a constitutional shield completely independent of the Supreme Court of the United State’s decisions."

in light of events in belfast rn, im gonna post this fundraiser
We are raising funds to support people who have been attacked, displaced and traumatised in racist attacks in Belfast.
if youre able to donate, itd mean a lot to everyone whos been affected by this
praying for everyone Black in Belfast rn. hella Black ppl lost they homes as a result of this antiblack terrorism.
like ok allegedly the white people in Northern Ireland terrorizing mainly Black people and poc are British loyalists and not “real Irish” but that video stating that is showing more concern for the white Irish people currently hiding in their homes “in fear” of harm, while real life Black people are actively being harmed lmao like??? get up! if you say you’re not like these white supremacists than show up in defense for the Black people currently being mobbed by people who look like you!
paying liberal lip service does nothing but make sure history doesn’t remember you as the “actual bad guys”, just the cowardly bystanders & it damn sure doesn’t make any moves to protect anyone Black!
i don't believe in god anymore really but i prayed for them
also go follow the original creator. i just did and so far am very impressed and we need more of their posts being reblogged

An interesting game where you are presented with 10 artifacts from the MET. You have to place where the artifact is from and what time period it is from. Each artifact scores up to 10,000 points, and you lose points the further away your guess is and how far off in time you are. You can only play once a day. Thanks to @baebeylik for showing this to me.
Today I scored really well. Yesterday ... not so much.

There's a somewhat-unstated division in social progressive circles that goes "being socially inept for autism reasons is fine, but being socially inept for regular reasons is bad and mockable." And then in practice everyone assumes it's for regular reasons when it comes up
if theres one thing that really pissed me off from my 3 years of architecture i took in high school it's learning about how we used to have all these little techniques to maximize or minimize heat or warmth and now we just merrily abandoned all those to have the same copypaste style buildings everywhere that are often INCREDIBLY unoptimized to the local weather and climate so we can just throw more money at our heating and cooling bills
where i live it is hot as balls approximately 80% of the year. i do not want a massive butt-ugly grey mcmansion with a huge echoey open-concept kitchen-livingroom-foyer-diningroom-staircase that has huge windows so i can have an hvac unit the size of a barge heaving and straining to keep it at a constant 72 the grees. i want a north indian traditional style home with small windows to force the airflow to cool, decorative grates to limit the amount of sunlight, and a COURTYARD with a POND *smashes unspecified large object*
I hate learning about instances of "oh yeah we know how to do that, we just don't".

Look, if you want to pioneer green energy, that's awesome! But pick someplace that isn't specifically sacred to indigenous people, and don't use your project to then slip in a data center that wasn't in the original proposal.

Can everyone who makes video content do a Deaf bitch a favor? Watch your shit with the captions on and the sound off, and then do another round of editing to fix things including but not limited to:
Captions cover the spot on the screen you put the information I need
The dialogue is captioned but not the song you have playing that the dialogue is responding to
You only captioned the person on the screen, not the person off screen who is also talking
No captioning of critical sound effects (alarms, bells, dogs barking, etc)
Speakers are not labelled at moments where it is not clear on the screen who is talking.
Captions cover the spot on the screen that you put the information I need!
Other d/Deaf people welcome to add.
This post brought to you by the fifth video tutorial I could not follow because the bad, auto-generated captions covered what I was trying to watch today.

On "mâtinawêkisikâw" and how to say Saturday in Cree
"Did you know the name for Saturday is mātinawēkisikāw. This term comes from the y dialect. mātinamākīwin is the act of rationing food. sharing, distributing food offering, allotment, distribution, the act of offering or giving.
As the 7 day calendar became popularized amongst the plains a certain day became common. These were the days when the buffalo were gone, the people were starving. On Saturdays food was rationed at the forts.
Ration days were not a thing for northern dialects as the food supply came from other sources. Growing up, I would ask why Saturday was different from the rest of the weeks. If Monday to Friday were the first day to the fifth day, why wasn’t Saturday the sixth day. My th dialect northern people didn’t have an answer. Years later I would realize northern Manitoba people (n dialect) preferred to call Saturday nikotwāsik-kisikāw meaning the sixth day. When I started studying indigenous history in university and discovering how all our indigenous languages were oral languages it all started to make sense. It made sense how aggressive assimilation impacted southern Cree people first before colonial practices were directed to northern people. It made sense how language loss was happening at alarming rates in the south, amongst the y dialect. So in response y dialect speakers pushed back against language loss more aggressively. People in the plains Cree community pioneered the writing system. Many of the terms like mātinawēkisikāw, Saturday, were adopted into the written material.
Northern people, until the 80’s were very much fluent and did not make efforts to write down the language as the plains. Language revitalization efforts started in the 70’s and earlier down south as it became apparent culture loss was taking place.
As Indian control of education came about in the late 70’s all of a sudden there was a demand to teach Cree in schools. The only material available at that time was y dialect material. So certain terms came to me as a student sitting in my classroom like the term for Saturday. Cree class became a thing in my generation, I was about 11 in grade 5 when we had our first class. Older students were never formally introduced to Cree class until this time, everyone learned from everyone else until then, orally. In my northern community, syllabics were common amongst the old people. However, in the 80’s many kids didn’t go to residential school with this movement for Indians to teach their own and community devolution. The 80’s also saw this shift of Indian people taking on their own administrative matters locally.
The rush of Cree materials was abit of a free for all for the most part. Those fortunate enough to have a teacher be trained in standardized writing like SRO produced a generation of students that could read and understand the materials. Some communities if not most communities basically hired fluent speakers and much of the materials taught were either phonetic or a personal style comfortable to the teacher. However, the materials developed in the south would become the norm.
Some of the differences in the material taught in class vs the local terms sometimes confused students but only for a short while. Terms like the months of the year were slightly different. An example is the month of February and March.
Firstly, the months are named after observations taking place in nature. Secondly, months had different names but most folks settled on the most common terms. Up north the eagle didn’t come home until March. The name mikisiwipīsim, eagle moon was March. Down south, where it warms up a month earlier, the eagle arrives in February. For southern Cree, the goose starts to arrive in March which is why it’s called niskipīsim, the goose moon. And by this time I’m sure you realize the goose doesn’t come to northern areas until April.
In education we call this locally adapting the curriculum. You take what’s been produced and make necessary changes to reflect the local needs. This is why it’s important to bridge the gap between young teachers and elders, if you’re fortunate to have elders that still speak. If you don’t, please ensure you provide context to why things are the way they are when you can. Learning about history can be just as fascinating as learning about your own language.
Hope this helps."
-Simon Bird, Cree language keeper and educator
PSA to fan creators who don't have a lot of regular contact with children: They are almost always bigger than you think. A 1-year-old baby may already be walking. A toddler is likely already hip-high. A 10-year-old may already be taller than at least one of their parents. A 14/15 year old may already have reached their adult height.
