No, i lost my job and stopped hosting the server. Im planning on getting it up and running again when the next big update comes out.

One org in the sense that it was one planned event. Sorry its a coalition of groups that all got their own permits.

Youre right, they should have made their own direct action facebook event and got their own permit if they wanted to do anything outside of those in charge. Turning people over to the cops is important because they didnt listen to the leaders of the coalition.

Are you saying that because one org got the permits no other groups are allowed to be there on the same day? Because then the best way to prevent any real action is to plan ‘peaceful protests’ at any event someone might want to do more at.

This was actually really disappointing. Sucks to see that people in neon vests will step in and shut anything down and work with cops if they feel uncomfortable. Sucks that during a protest to stop genocide, getting too close to a fence is too much. Really disappointed in US liberals pretending to be anything more than that.

The Mandela effect is rooted in racism just as much as this is.

It really does. Your best hope is that you get “adopted” by a charismatic person and just brought into their circles if you are cool.

If we were in the same city I’d be your friend. :(

Id say go to local events and talk to the people around you. I’m sure there are pro Palestinian rallies somewhere by you. I’ve met so many cool people just talking to the person standing next to me at a rally or march. Sometimes the main point of a “do nothing” protest is actually be a reason to bring like minded folks together.

I was under the impression zionists made her cry?

I agree with the sentiment in here of don’t worry about labels too much. Just try out different stuff and play with it until you find what fits for you.

Personally, I’m a 35 year old trans woman. When I was growing up trans women were only the butt of jokes in shows and movies. I didn’t think people actually were trans so I wrote off a lot of my obvious feelings as “everyone feels this.” I had a tough time identifying it because as I aged, masculinity didn’t feel right but I’m autistic so nothing ever really felt right.

It didn’t all click for me until I was watching a trans youtuber’s coming out video. I can’t find the transcript for it, but the line that just SHOOK me was something along the lines of “I looked in the mirror and I saw myself aging into an old man and I was terrified”. I had those feelings before and then the rest of her experience really clicked into place for me and all the egg-y shit I had felt and thought really came into focus. It took a while to actually publicly transition, but in the meantime I would dress in feminine clothes at home to try and find my style. And expressing my gender more just resonated deeply with me and I ended up having to publicly transition.

As an aside, I think the book Whipping Girl really helped me understand my gender better, but that might just be because the author’s experiences lined up with mine really well, my cis wife says it really helped with understanding her gender too.

I had someone say it to me verbatim is the only reason I said it 😭😭😭
