apparently a transfem student at a Florida university was tased, pepper sprayed, and arrested by a police officer under the justification of the Baker Act (forced institutionalization). the vast majority of articles on this right now are implicitly or explicitly mocking her for having a "tantrum" and so i do not know the extent of the actual situation but i wanted to make people aware.

from this article which seemed to suck the least (unsure if this is the name she actually uses or a deadname; if it is i will remove it from this post):

The encounter took place in 2025 after the University of Central Florida police responded to a report involving a possible vehicle theft. Although Jarrett Preston Vick, who reportedly uses she/her pronouns, was not accused of stealing a vehicle, she became involved in the police interaction and grew visibly distressed after officers referred to her using male pronouns. In the footage, shared by Inside The Blue TV on YouTube, Vick repeatedly asked officers to address her correctly, saying, “She! She! Just say the right pronoun.” “Josh, can you please just tell them to use the right pronouns? Please. You know, it’s causing me a lot of distress.” Josh, identified as a university employee who briefly appeared in the clip, attempted to calm the situation as the exchange continued. At another point, Vick shouted, “Why do you let those kids get away with this? They are not supposed to be here.” One responding officer warned that if Jarrett did not lower her voice, she could be placed in handcuffs and taken for evaluation under Florida’s Baker Act. The confrontation continued to escalate before officers ultimately detained and handcuffed Vick. Notably, her arrest records list her as male. According to court records, the confrontation resulted in her being charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, a third-degree felony, along with misdemeanor counts of resisting an officer without violence and disorderly conduct. She formally pleaded not guilty to all charges on March 27, 2025. Bodycam shows UCF student repeatedly screaming “Don’t say him! Say she!” during a stolen vehicle investigation—then getting pepper-sprayed and arrested.

trans people's distress is always treated as a combination of male violence and female hysteria. this is patriarchal state violence in action. people fixate on the trans person's "unreasonable" distress and not that the officer was actively continuing to fuck with her until she lashed out.

i hope she's okay & if anyone is able to find ways to support her socially or financially, or any better information, please share.

gender abolition having two meanings because one is used by TERFs to be transphobic and the other used by transhumanist queers to mean abolishing power structures will never not be wild to me

The pain of reading amazing books with basically no fandom

This trilogy is so autism-core

Have a look at these beautiful covers of the newest Polish edition

we need to make the staniverse fandom a reality

it's so good and I need people to understand how great a writer KSR is...

[aliens-and-penguins]

YES

Reading KSR requires some kind of maturity I think? Intellectual or emotional maturity

I can say because 2-3 years ago I read "2312" and I didn't like it that much and I thought this book was weird but now... Now I think it's a very good book

[solacryptic]

Swan Er-Hong x Fitz Wahrem canonically (sort of) being an AuDHD ship cracks me up sometimes, love the character dynamics at play. AND I adore how the book extends the world!!!

Y'all Don't Really Care About Palestinians or Jewish POC. Y'all just want to be Antisemitic.

Let Palestinians and especially Palestinian Jewish people lead conversations about Israel/Palestine!

Leave Jewish people in Diaspora OUT OF YOUR "Critiques" of Israel! Better yet, stop talking about Israel all together. Your "concern" is disingenuous.

Stop SPEAKING for Jewish POC, when you are NOT Jewish AND POC. That is upmost an intra-community issue that doesn't need outside forces to "save" Jewish POC.

Do Not Speak for Black Jewish people if you are not Black AND Jewish. A mod on here did once and is in a period of atonement for that sin.

Center Brown and Black Jewish people but also, DON'T be antisemitic towards Ashkenazi people. Antisemitism ultimately hurts ALL Jewish people, not just the "White ones".

When a Jewish person tells you something is antisemitic, 99.9999% of the time it probably is. Listen to Jewish people about Jewish issues as Jewish people are the authority on their own lives and community.

Also, Jewish people are an Indigenous people primarily in Diaspora as far as this blog is concerned.

any black queer folk starting to reflect on how anti-blackness ends up ruining your experiences in white queer spaces? despite for example, it not crossing your mind because always been subject to the ✨oreo allegations✨ anyways because being black was more of a fact than something you engaged in with any thought other than being around fam? because I'll be real, i'm having a bit of an identity crisis.

some people really didn't like me calling Ragatha a rich white woman and I don't have my thoughts perfectly sorted out but i don't think it's random that a cis rich girl is presented as a soft feminine agreeable tortured victim of her abusive mother while homeless trans girl is spiky and difficult perpetuator of generational abuse from her mother

wealth and high social status provide a safety net that allows a person to remain agreeable, soft, and passive, you don't always have to fight tooth and nail just to exist, which makes it easier for a character to be framed as a pure and compliant victim

while characters from marginalized backgrounds often have to adopt a defensive or "difficult" exterior just to survive, which media often misinterprets as inherent malice or toxic behavior, framing them as the abuser rather than another victim of the broken system

yes rich people can still be abuse victims, that doesn't mean their experiences are the same as the rest of us losers, I'm not crazy for simply acknowledging it

[niyarest]

like it doesn't get more comical than IRL Ragatha being a successful real-estate agent whose hobby is horseback riding and IRL Jax is couch crashing while working as a mail delivery driver

their priorities and resources as abuse victims would be completely different

what do you mean these two scientists are named SAXIFRAGE (flower that means "rock-breaker") Russel and Ann CLAYBORNE, these are the kind of names pokemon characters get (not to mention the enemies to lovers trope was way too obvious)

"is it harm to offer your neighbor food?" is the protestant shit I've ever seen on this website, wait hold up-

broke: Tumblr is the Female website

woke: Tumblr is the Aryan website

[22degreehalo]

Don't think I'll ever forgive Tumblr for going full 'accessibility is bad because if you're not trying as hard you'll lose the ability to do it' for the sole and entire purpose of having one extra reason to complain about tech.

[solacryptic]

the thought that I've been using Tumblr longer than some users on here have been alive is horrifying, what year is it I thought it was still 2019???
