'#ChelseaManning was tortured. Studies have shown that fifteen days of solitary confinement causes permanent psychological damage, and Manning was in solitary confinement for nearly a year. United Nations special rapporteur on torture Juan E. Mendez stated unequivocally that Manning’s treatment was “cruel, inhuman and degrading,” and 295 legal scholars signed a letter declaring that she was being “detained under degrading and inhumane conditions that are illegal + immoral”

It's naive to say that politics don't/shouldn't influence friendships when politics can dictate the right of people to freely express who they are, or worse, their right to exist.

FOOLISH MORTALS, TRIX ARE FOR KIDS

political establishment: the problems we face are hard. there is no easy solution. we don't have enough ideas. if only creative ideas weren't a scarce resource

the internet, grassroots movements, anthropologists: here are lots of new ideas on how to organise people, overcome challenges of our day, and distribute resources more equitably and efficiently

political establishment: first of all, how dare you. second of all, shut the fuck up.

Chelsea Manning is a free woman.

Free advice for cis writers who want to do a story about a trans character troubled by their transition.

Print out your outline. Make sure it's nicely formatted and on quality paper. Take care in your presentation.

Then set it on fire.

Then throw your computer into the fire.

And let me just say that island.js is quite a nice island generator.

Sophie Labelle, creator of the webcomic "Assigned Male", has been getting hateful and violent comments aimed at her, which she's had to spend a lot of time removing.

According to my Twitter feed, they also managed to get the webcomic deleted - all three years of it. I don't use Facebook myself, but if anybody here does, she might appreciate support! The Facebook page is http://www.facebook.com/assignedmale ; you can also support on Etsy and Patreon.

Chelsea Manning is a hero, and she's being released from prison tomorrow. I hope like hell that she can be free of further state violence.

Some shitty news is that she's still going to be an active duty service-person while she is appealing her conviction D: This article explains well why that puts her in further danger with the US Military court. It doesn't however mention that the danger is even higher now that she is being released in to Trump's America. I worry for her safety :S
