Twice this week I took the time to give detailed answers to "You don't know what the fuck you are talking about" questions on Quora. One about #autism, one about #trans people
Both times, the questions turned out to be from people who knew they didn't know enough & were trying to learn more so they could help other people in their lives.
This absolutely made my week. Both in seeing people who care enough to try to learn, and in being able to help others by helping them.
Expansion of the 'expedited removal'. Any ICE agent can ask for proof of 2 year residency and if you can't prove it you can be deported, no hearing, no trial, no lawyer.

Watch out for each other folks.

So, possibly long thread about the trope of teen/vampire romance.
A lot of people are uncomfortable with the trope of a teen and a several-hundred-year-old vampire falling in love. Classic examples of this trope are Buffy and Twilight, and a near-relation is a young-twenty-something and vampiring falling in love, as is common in many vampire romance books.
Morning all.
Does anyone know any phone scripts for calling congress critters about the concentration camps? I think I have spoons to make phone calls today and figure those are calls worth making.
Thanks
When we say ‘never again’, we don’t mean ‘never again a Holocaust’, or we do mean that, but we mean more. We mean never again the yellow stars, never again krystalnacht, never again the work camps. Never again the laws that single out a group for persecution out of fear and hate.
Because if you wait to say ‘never again’ until the cattle trains are rolling, you’ve waited too long.
