"Furthermore, this doesn't happen only within ourselves, but our societies. We are not allowed to exist, to know ourselves, to find ourselves, to #liberate ourselves. As a result, we often either suffer a lifetime of pain, or we don't survive at all. The #genocide of #queer, and especially #trans people, is so efficient and pervasive, that people don't individually even need to consciously know they're doing it to us. #Memoricide is often enough to do the job. It's enough that society has already been deliberately designed this way through cycles throughout thousands of years of history when we have been out and open, and then crushed under the forces of #colonization, religious #oppression, and #whitesupremacy."

#histodons one of the things I struggle with #history can #confine it can #limit it can also #hide but simultaneously it can #liberate it can #question it can #transform
#history can move us backwards, it can #justify horror

How do we use our discipline @histodons to move us away from historical #violence and from the #prejudice that pervades our very species?

I wonder this every single fucking day as I confront the limits, the abuses, and the possibilities of our discipline.

We cannot #conflate #worship #murder and #slaughter - #GunIdolatry Is Destroying the Case for Guns. #GunRights carry with them grave #responsibilities. They do not #liberate you to #intimidate. They must not #empower your #hate. They are certainly not objects of #love or #reverence. Every #hairtrigger use, every #angry or #fearful or #foolish #decision, likely #spills #Innocent #Blood. Are we past the point of no return? 380 million guns! America embraces #GunViolence is there a path to change?

Omg children remember when my sister and I drove 9 TUBS of #bakelite, #celluloid & other #vintage #buttons from my mom's #collection/ #hoard to a store in Berkeley last year??

Like please take these buttons.

Celluloid buttons are flammable, btw.

Well, I found another cache of buttons.

My #lgbtq #artist #sober friends in #NC LOVE the little bottle of buttons I brought back so now I really want to #liberate these ones for the gays 🤷‍♀️
