Wildmoore + season three
Half the time I don’t know if you like me or hate me, and honestly I think you’re just afraid…Afraid of what?…Of feeling something real and blowing it! So what is it, what do you want?
“Sibley was dancing with his friends at a Brooklyn gas station last Saturday when police say he was stabbed to death in a hate-motivated confrontation.”
I live in a suburb of Washington and I’ve never been scared to dance down the street and I never will be but this incident reminds me every time that in this world, no matter what, if you are black, male and gay, you still have to be so fucking careful because the world is STILL filled with folks who want nothing but to kill your light and make sure you are silenced due to their own ignorance and lack of understanding.
They want us to be invisible and hide. “PLAY THEIR WAY and BLEND IN” but they do not realize that in truth that we cannot and will not dim our light for anyone. It’s impossible to dim light when we are literally stardust from the galaxies above.
Black LGBTQIA folk are the beautiful ones and WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED.

The irony in Sutherland’s character telling Yo-Yo, a black woman, she’s not “expensive” like the black men around her. She’s just “a dime a dozen”. And how Fontaine and Slick talk to her at times as well. “Just a regular ol’ ho.” But she’s smart, the first one ready to protect her community/almost killed for it, and her kidnapping sparked the whole underground takeover. Kind of “the face that launched a thousand ships”-ish?
Sounds expensive, priceless even, and worth protecting.

"You're going to miss out on all this media because of the strikes!"
Y'all shot a whole-ass Batgirl movie and refused to release it so you could get a tax break, constantly cancel popular shows after a single season, and remove stuff from streaming while refusing to sell it on physical media, so maybe shut the fuck up.
I hope every major studio and streaming service crashes, all your executives end up permanently unemployed, and that all we're left with is indie media produced by people who can see beyond the dollar sign.
Roughly 30 years ago, she called out the Catholic Church on national TV and got so much shit. Turns out she was right all along. 
And specifically for pedophilia as she ripped a photo of Pope John Paul ll.
About three months ago or so, a report came about over 600 children being sexually assaulted by leaders of the Baltimore Catholic churches. That's just one city...
She was also at the forefront of protesting the 1991 Grammys, in part because of how the Academy did not acknowledge Black artists. She specifically showed support for Public Enemy and other rap groups. Very unrelated to this, but just another rebellious moment worth highlighting.
Strike is on. Actors will be joining the writers on the picket lines. This is the first strike in 60 years for SAG, and essentially shuts down the entire US film and television industry.

Lastly, the Organization for Transformative Works' donation page -- which is hosted by a third party provider -- is currently offline due to a DDoS attack.

Guys, AO3 is back up but it would be great if we all donated to them.
This episode has made us understand how fragile the work they do is and how much support they require to keep this community we all love thriving.
Please, do what you can to help their fund and if you can't donate, please share!
internet censorship bill about to pass congress:
ao3 is facing a ddos attack from an overseas right-wing anonymous group because it contains "degeneracy and disgusting things like LGBT and NSFW".
they're not the only right-wing group that is attacking fanfiction sites because of queer & nsfw content. the Heritage foundation, the US right wing think tank that writes laws for republicans, wrote an article about how "big tech turns kids trans" in which they're advocating for the Kid's Online Safety Act to pass because it will give state attorney generals power to sue websites for "potentially harmful content towards minors". in this article they point out websites like wattpad, tumblr, tiktok, twitter as sites that GOP attorney generals can and will target for censorship if this bill passes. all places where fandom, that's mostly queer, hangs out.
if you think this bill has no chance of passing because of all the red flags it poses, think again. it currently has 38 cosponsors in the senate, and is being pushed by the democrats as a "protecting the children!!" type bill.
there are left-aligned orgs in congress rn lobbying for this bill to pass. july is extremely decisive, because if KOSA goes through to markup it'll be bundled with the Earn It act, Restrict, and all the other bad internet bills and passed as a package, completely censoring the internet forever.
it's ESSENTIAL that you call your members of congress, specifically Maria Cantwell (you can call from out of state) and tell them DO NOT PASS KOSA. this site here connects you to your members of congress and gives you a short simple script to read off of! super easy and doesn't take much out of your day! please do this now!!
AO3 is down due to a DDoS attack, meaning someone is purposely overwhelming the website with requests.
