for anyone unsure of why an ASL (or other sign language) interpretation of a movie is important there are a 2 main reasons
- many Deaf people are not native speakers of English. reading captions means reading a foreign language. Deaf people whose native language isn't English deserve equal access to media and captions are not true equal access.
- Deaf literacy rates are incredibly low due to improper and inadequate teaching. 1/5 of Deaf students graduating from highschool have a literacy rate at or below 2nd grade. this makes reading captions difficult for many of us.

Finished play through number one of Stray Gods. Ended with a death and no romance somehow. I fucked up. This game is fantastic though. I'm just an idiot.

I just finished my first play through of Stray Gods, and I do genuinely love the game for many reasons and it really does encompass a lot of my favourite things (greek mythology, musicals, voice actors, game mechanics etc).
But also... ~women~
I am being so normal about Persephone.

The sequel ‘Skull Measuring for beginners’ is scheduled for 2025.
a list of factors that CAN cause poor outcomes and fatalities in blood transfusions:
- being crossmatched with the wrong A/B/O, RhD/rhesus, or HLA group
- Blood that isn't properly screened for blood borne disease, increasing the risk of transmission of HepC, vCJD, and HIV/AIDs
- massive transfusion protocols, which have been associated with a minor increased risk in hemolytic transfusion reactions, air embolism, hyper- and hypo- kalemia (blood potassium), magnesia (blood magnesium), and calcemia (blood calcium)
- Improper storage of blood and blood products like plasma/FFP and platelets
A list of factors that there have no substantial scientific proof of being linked with poor outcomes and fatalities in blood transfusion:
- the sex of the donor
Currently, in the UK, there via a shortage of blood donors; in particular donors from Afro-Carribean backgrounds, whose blood is more likely to be a HLA match for transfusions for sickle cell anaemia and beta thalassaemia sufferers.
I guarantee you that if you've gone into haemorrhagic shock, or are at risk of sickle cell crisis, the absolute last thing you're going to be thinking about is the sex of your donor, because without blood — no matter who donated it — you're going to die.
Blood transfusions save lives — no matter the donor's sex — to say that donor sex is related to adverse outcomes is at best, blatant misinformation with limited if any scientific backing, and at worst, modern day phrenology that's playing dice with people's lives.
(The data Rowling uses comes from 3 trials, all of which agree that a. further studies with wider sample sizes are needed, and b. the cause is likely due to an immunological factor rather than anything to do with endocrinology. Also, bias of interpretation is A Thing, folks.)
Absolutely no way her new interest in blood impurities could be leading to anything I'm sure.
Also one of the foundational movements of the AIDS crisis was lesbians organizing blood donations to give to help people dying of AIDS, because gay and bisexual men (and trans people btw) were barred from donating blood and the Cisgender heterosexual world wanted to leave them there to die.
Women donating blood to men is an important part of our history, and to latch on to eugenicist pseudoscience instead just so you can shit on trans people and reinforce your bioessentialist world view is extremely telling.
Really interesting coming from the self-proclaimed Lesbian Defender.

Yes, you say, "trans women are women, trans men are men, nonbinary people are nonbinary," but are you normal about trans people who don't fit the mold as to what a woman/man/nonbinary person looks like?
Are you normal about trans men with chests, big or small (especially if they don't bind), or who don't have a "masculine" body, who might have a higher voice?
Are you normal about trans women with flat chests, who don't tuck, who don't voice train, or who don't have a "feminine" body?
Are you normal about nonbinary people of all body types, if they have a combination of sex characteristics (or lack thereof)? Are you normal about nonbinary people who don't look stereotypically nonbinary, especially if they "look cis"?
I think it can be easy (or at least easier) for people to support the trans people who happen to fit closely to the mold that people have in mind about what makes a man, woman, or nonbinary person. However, I see people still really hesitant to even acknowledge that trans people exist outside those margins. I want people to be able to challenge those preconceptions and move beyond them because it benefits everybody, trans and cis and beyond alike.
Just an addition to this. Are you normal about trans people that aren't white?
Are you normal about trans people who are fat?
Are you normal about trans people with disabilities?

“If you’re a political enemy of fascism though, either they lose or you die”
Transcript of the gifs:
If you’re a fascist and anti-fascists come for you, you have a choice. You can give it up. You can renounce what you said. You could go on with the rest of your life and stop turning up to fascist rallies. Anti-fascists probably aren’t going to be your best friends, but they’ll move on.
But if you’re a person of color, if you’re trans, or a person with a disability, or gay, or Jewish and fascists come for you, there is nothing you can do to make them happy except stop existing.
That’s the key difference between the far-left and the far-right. Anti-fascists organize themselves against those that are building fascism. If you are doing that, that is something you can nonviolently stop doing. If you’re a political enemy of antifa, you can become a friend. If you’re a political enemy of fascism though, then they lose or you die.

Mom sent me a facebook link to a PBS news hour post about how the anti-lawn movement is growing. The vast majority of the comments on it were stuff like this:
Most people are on our side here, even the so-called "boomers." We just have to be spreading ecological knowledge and practical means of creating useful habitat in back yards! Educate! Protect! Resist!
