Longtime readers may be aware of how much I relish an excuse to bully a company, so I'm sharing the wealth;

Clothing company Patagonia is currently sueing drag queen Pattie Gonia for "irreparable” harm to their brand.

To be clear; Pattie named herself after the region in South America.

So Pattie is asking people to politely ask Patagonia to drop the lawsuit.

I'm extending the invitation to all of you, because sueing a drag queen for 'infringement' in the current political cultural landscape is vile. Especially a drag queen who has raised millions of dollars for non-profits, uses her platform to raise awareness for climate activism, and fully aligns with Patagonia's apparent climate-conscious mission statement.

They're claiming they're sueing for $1. They're actually asking her to stop using her name, and pay over $1 million in legal fees. They're straight up harassing her.

In contrast, drag queen Jan Sport has a Jansport bag line. It's that easy to just... work with a queen.

Anyway. Be respectful(ish), but feel free to be annoying on Patagnoia's socials, asking them to 'DROP THE LAWSUIT'

I think they have a twitter and tiktok too!

[husbanddaughter]

they literally deleted all existing reblogs of that post from existence btw<3

[freelance-fiend]

and theyre tryin to delete it all again

[angremlin]

Hey staff you know how repeatedly trying to delete evidence of what you've done is going to look to the NYCCHR right? Because the answer isn't "innocent". You'd think the last settlement would have taught you SOMETHING.

Experts keep saying the Andes hantavirus is only contagious if you have prolonged contact with an infected person who is symptomatic and in the early stages of infection like that is supposed to be reassuring. Like people don’t go to parties, airports, ballgames and concerts just to cough on a captive audience.

[byjove]

“We just evacuated all the Americans passengers on board to Nebraska and one has tested positive straight off the plane and another is symptomatic but the whole quarantine thing is voluntary, everyone else is free to make their way home on any number of combinations of connecting flights, train rides and bus rides.”

[byjove]

And look, I understand they do not want to stir up public panic, that the whole infectious disease thing is terrible for the economy and the World Cup is coming up but there has to be a happy medium between “Everyone panic buy toilet paper and get in their bunkers right now.” and “Don’t even worry about it dude, it’s not an issue. Really isn’t that serious.” when it is a disease with an incubation period of up to 7 weeks and the passengers have just been dispersed all over the globe.

[spider-xan]

While people should not be panicking at this point, there is a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation going on in the replies and notes of this post, some of which seems to be based on people going off information about strains of hantavirus that can only be transmitted from rodents to humans, which is true for most strains - unfortunately, the strain going around from the cruise ship is the Andes strain, which can be transmitted between humans once it has jumped from rodents and has a 38-50% mortality rate, with no current vaccine or cure; compared to COVID, it is somewhat less transmissible, but many many times more deadly.

Some people in the notes are saying it's impossible to get unless you are licking infected objects, that you can't get it via respiratory droplets, and that you need to have extremely intimate contact for a prolonged time to catch it from another person, but I strongly recommend people read the Argentina birthday party case study from 2018-2019 where one person infected with the Andes strain infected 34 people at a birthday party, 11 of whom died, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2020:

“Super-Spreaders” and Person-to-Person Transmission of Andes Virus in Argentina

oh me wearing this mask in public all the time is actually for the benefit of the public. you see if i were to reveal my face in its entirety i would simply get too much attention all of the time. a mask leaves the remainder of my features to the imagination, where i can be as beautiful or as terrible as the eye deems, until it is removed. also i don't want to get covid.

For anybody not caught up: Tennessee just passed a new map that pretty much makes it so black neighborhoods have no power in local votes. Two things about this. While protestors were chanting "No Jim Crow", white Tennessee lawmakers were caught laughing on video. On top of this, Representative Justin Pearson and his brother KeShaun Pearson were arrested for trying to give their takes on the matter (which is not only their legal right but literally his job). If you give a shit about black people, help fight this. We can't allow a return to Jim Crow.

[icemankazansky]

Heyyy guess where I live

A local paper had some great photographs, all taken by Nicole Hester:

The day before, Rep. Justin Pearson tries to attend a Senate Committee meeting and is barred access by the Sergeant at Arms.

Lawmakers and protesters link arms as the descend the capitol steps.

Once inside the chamber, Democratic representatives continued to stand together with arms linked.

They continued standing together with arms linked as votes were cast.

Democratic representatives take a group photo protesting the redistricting.

Rep. Justin Jones burns a photo of the Confederate flag with the words, We will not go back.

And stomps the ashes.

KeShaun Pearson being escorted from the building by the Staties.

KeShaun Pearson (left) being taken into custody. Rep. Justin Pearson (right) showing his support of his brother.

Additional information: State lawmakers have been gunning for Pearson and Jones nearly their entire terms. Most notably, in 2023, the House expelled them for participating in a protest at the Capitol. Their districts had to have special elections to have them reinstated.

Pearson is one of the plaintiffs of a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the redistricting.

The city most affected by the redistricting is Memphis, where locals are fighting against xAI's data center, which has been operating with very little oversight and is poisoning the people who live there. Here is a previous post on that with more information and more sources.

[victusinveritas]

CeCe Rogers on Facebook writes: "Two Black Tennessee lawmakers were physically escorted out of chambers this week while Republicans quietly held a hearing to approve gerrymandered maps that would eliminate the state's only majority-Black congressional district.

No referendum. No special election. No public vote.

Because they know what happens when voters actually get a say — just look at Virginia, where the people spoke so loudly that Republicans had to drag the courts in to override them.

This isn't new. During Reconstruction, Black Americans held more congressional seats than at any point in the prior 90 years of American history. And white supremacists spent the next several decades tearing that down, through gerrymandering, poll taxes, and voter intimidation.

150 years later, the same tools. Different suits.

The audacity of escorting Black lawmakers out of their own chambers while dismantling Black political representation, and then telling us the courts aren't political, is breathtaking. These are the same courts they're counting on to make it stick.

This is a coordinated, multi-front assault on Black Americans. And we need to say it exactly that plainly."

[exemplarybehaviour]

Pay attention to this one, folks, as the more you look into it, the worse it gets.

Firstly, I found a data-focused analysis of the redistricting. The tl;dr is that Republicans claim the redistricting was done to balance urban/rural voting blocks, BUT the actual data indicates that urban voting power was ONLY broken up in Black-majority Memphis and other urban centers in east Tennessee were left alone (Nashville was also chopped up a bit, but my potentially flawed understanding is it was already divided up a lot from a previous redistricting). There's also statistical evidence that gerrymandering increased across the board. The NAACP of Tennessee has already filed a lawsuit.

Secondly, in a really heinous move, a bill was passed* that eliminates the requirement to inform voters of district changes. That means a lot of people are not going to know their voting place and/or precinct changed until they actually show up to vote because there's no legal obligation to tell them (they would have to know to go online and check), UNLESS everyone gets really loud about this. Also, learn this lesson: double and triple check your voter registration leading up to elections, because shit like this can happen. *All news coverage I found was written before it was passed, but this bill tracker indicates it was signed by the Governor May 7.

Finally, I wanted to note that the redistricting happened ultra fast and after some primary elections had occurred on May 5 (the new district map was adopted May 7). That means that: 1) the process of candidates qualifying and campaigning was already in full swing and now many candidates will have to scramble to either re-qualify or continue in a new area. I don't have any sources to back this up, but my hunch is that is will disproportionately affect Black candidates running in previously majority Black districts, whose entire voter base just changed overnight. And then 2) because this happened AFTER primaries, that means some voters will be forced to vote in a general election for candidates that were not in the primary they participated in. Both prospects are insanely undemocratic. (For further context, the May 5 primaries were only for a handful of smaller positions and primaries for bigger positions will be in August, so that's why a lot of coverage of this is sort of just ignoring some primaries already happened.)

Additionally, I wanted to provide some context to the photos above. The gentleman burning a paper print out of the confederate flag is Rep. Justice Jones, who is a house representative from Nashville. The two gentlemen being escorted out are Rep. Justin Pearson (Memphis) and his brother KeShaun. News coverage is here-- basically, as is common when there's tons of protesters, the gallery was ordered to be cleared and Rep. Pearson went up to check on his brother. Unclear to me if KeShaun was refusing to leave or if it was a situation where cops moved in to grab people the second the order to clear was given. Either way, Rep. Pearson can be heard on video fairly calmly saying to let his brother go and he'll walk him out, escalating to some yelling and swearing when cops continued grabbing at his brother (who seems to be calmly making his way out of the building). Both Rep. Jones and Rep. Pearson were briefly expelled from their positions in 2023 after participating in a protest for gun control in the wake of a school shooting in an elementary school; the white representative who protested with them (Gloria Johnson (Knoxville)) was not expelled. Both Jones and Pearson were later reinstated, but it was a huge scandal. Basically what I wanted to stress here is: the government of Tennessee has some deeply rooted evil, but there are dedicated representatives working to improve Tennessee for their constituents. Staying politically active and voting matters.

[puppygirllaika]

talking about stuff like prison reform or the SO registry really quickly makes you realize how many peoples political ideology boils down to "look, just tell me who the bad people are so I know who we should be killing."

[cock-holliday]

reinstalled shinigami eyes to take a look at the damage and it's so much worse than a year or so ago when i deleted it. virtually every intersex blog i know of regardless of how they feel about tme/tma is marked red unless they are especially vocal about liking it, countless trans men are marked red regardless of whether they are vocally inclusive, most who are marked green are either famous guys or are (somewhat) infamous for their transphobia and exorsexism if not also racism.

Plenty of transphobic cis folks are green. Virtually every trans-positivity account is red except for the ones who are unapologetically transphobic to at least part of the community. Countless trans women who vocally uses the term transandrophobia are marked red. Several trans women who dont even use the term but have at least on one occasion defended or sympathized with trans men are red. Several trans women who are bigender/NB/Etc with inclusion of any "male" or masc terms are red regardless of whether they seem to have anything to say about trans men.

It is BLEAK. I've been trying to remove reds and greens as I assess, but it is really really gross that it was a pretty well-known soft rule a decade plus ago that you didn't mark trans people red at all even if they were shitheads, unless they were actual proud terfs, because the flagging was guaranteed to isolate them from community.

Inability to assess risk and a total aversion to narratives that contradict what you assume to be the case for others is getting people into a lot of trouble.

Shinigami eyes is completely dead and less than useless, but since so many people still seem to trust it, I do not want people to keep getting flagged as violent evil transphobes cause they started identifying as genderqueer.

Also on age verification: I have been on this website since 2011. Unless you think I started blogging at age 2, you KNOW I'm an adult.

[dreamerinsilico]

#the fact that 'can prove access to an online account at least 12 years old' or even 'account to be verified is itself fully 18 years old'#AREN'T accepted methods of age verification is such a telling sign of what the real purpose of age-gating laws is:#data harvesting and deanonymization and the buildout of state-controllable ways to restrict both content and internet access itself en masse (via @shinelikethunder )

Help a disabled trans person pay their rent

Hi there.

So I moved recently, and my benefits are being delayed because there's a review on the account and they need to recalculate based on my new rent amount.

I need help. I hate saying it but it's true.

My rent is £585, due on the first. It's a super short timeframe, literally one week, and of course the gov is totally unconcerned with helping out. I don't think I can really offer anything in return and I don't want to pressure anyone, but if you want to help someone survive terf island for a little longer then I'm right here and I'll kiss you on your face 🙏

My PayPal is @RAGSeers. If I can't make the deadline I'll still keep it up because unfortunately it's expensive to miss a rent payment too.

£170/585

PayPal: RAGSeers

[fgrobichiko]

Ok so I'm bringing this back because I got my benefits, but they refused to backdate them!! So I'm £400 below where I should be and I've been having to borrow to get by these past two months.

Again, anything you can give will be extremely appreciated, I hate living on landlord terf island so fucking much

[fgrobichiko]

Oh, I should restart the count.

35/400

Thank you for helping so quickly ❤️ it really makes this bullshit bearable knowing there's community out there

[mousegirlheart]

um actually ☝️ we should be glad that transgender tumblr user got terminated without cause, because they did something bad years and years ago, and as we all know, apologies mean nothing, we must crucify transgenders for their crimes forever and endlessly. i have the evidence for their UNFORGIVABLE CRIMES right here, helpfully gathered and collated by fifty deliriously obsessed internet stalkers that desperately want to see this user's blood.

[florallychaotic]

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR.
