CW: Rape

Ok so there are such WILDLY different framing of the story of Albert Wilson, a black man, who was sentenced to 12 years for raping a 17 year old he met at a bar that I don’t know what to even think.
We have this story I say first which claims the two just made out & uses a more respectable, emotional pic of Wilson: memphisrap.com/news/black-mal…
Then we have this one that makes more claims about sexual assault & using a totally different image: www2.ljworld.com/news/public-sa…
The differences in presenting this story are WILD. This is why journalism matters, why nuanced stories matter. We need to acknowledge the excess of punishment for black folks in the prison industrial complex while also seeking real cultural change in approaches to sex & consent.

Back after a weeklong personal/professional trip and honestly dragging. First, unpacking & settling in. Then, work. #goals:
-Catch up on email
-Make a to do list for this week & next
-Write letter of recommendation
-Complete an article peer review
Status update: Almost 11:30 and I’ve mostly unpacked, caught up on e-mail & wrote a letter of rec. Doing laundry to finish the unpacking, then the peer review. Then lunch. Lunch is a must today. Still so very tired.
Completed my goals for today before 4! Which means I can squeeze in some reading before it’s quittin time!

I used to have a life sized poster of this man on my wall as an 8th header. I may or may not have kissed that poster sometimes. I have not thought about Pacey Witter in years, yet I am compelled to watch whatever this will be. #DawsonsCreek
*8th grader. Goddammit.

Today I am headed to my local #MadisonWI @PFLAG meeting where I was invited to be their guest speaker this month. It’s an honor to do this bc I know how much it would have meant to me to come out earlier in life & have a supportive parent in that process.
I am the kind of person who gets teary-eyed every year at a Pride when I see young #queer kids looking happy & free AF. For those kids to exist we need orgs like @PFLAG which provide support & resources to educate & create community for parents of queer kids.
As our society changes, perhaps we’ll have a generation of adults fully open & prepared to parent queer & trans youth, but in the meantime we need these resources to help parents learn how to support LBGTQ+ kids. Hell, I wish my mom would go to a PFLAG meeting & I’m 32 years old!

Don’t know the difference between Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day? Here’s a personal story of mine on why it’s important. (thread)

#MemorialDay
Remembrance is an underrated form of prayer. When we remember, we encourage that memory. A moment of great character can produce other moments like it when folks take the time to keep that memory alive.
Today, I want to remember one soldier, in particular, who has meant a lot to me. Thing is: I never had the honor of meeting her.

Okay guys... here we go... wish me luck. #puppetgate #allinarowplay #livetweet #amreading #ActuallyAutistic

Image Description: a copy of the play “All in a Row” lying on a blue pillow.
TW: #puppetgate

Okay, let’s start with the cover. My husband pointed out that the image has three upright cakes neatly lined up and the one blue cake that is fallen over. I assume that since there are four characters, the blue one is the autistic character. Out of place.
TW: #PuppetGate

Next you have big bios of all the cast and crew. Then there’s a two page preface written by Alex Oates and by golly he is TRYING. He uses identity first language (brownie points for that) and tries to explain everything including the puppet.

I am starting this thread so that everyone can see with their own eyes the massive amount human traffickers that have been taken down. MSM won't tell you and journalist like @Indira_L make it sound like @therealroseanne is a whacko conspiracy nutjob.
Nothing could be farther from the truth and Indira L knows it. She is just creating the question to deflect away from the real issue which is human/child trafficking.
