I’ve barely seen anything about her other than from other BIPOC and I’m honestly so mad about it.
Her name was Cashay Henderson. She deserves to be known. She deserves to be remembered.
RT what you see about her you fucking cowards.

I’ve only had the chance to do a big splashy feature on trans kids once and I told my editor that I wanted to change the way trans kids are covered in the media. This was what we came up with. theguardian.com/society/2020…

Adding to this, we want to once again remind people that Chevalier d'Eon was a trans woman who used her position as a former spy to the King of France to blackmail him into legally changing her gender.
And historians still try to argue she was just crossdressing.

One thing I wish every ADHDer knew:
Even for neurotypical people, the average brain appears to get about ~3 hours of focus for productive, "high mental energy" work per day.

I'm not an American but I feel like the way that a lot of Americans frame the rise of new right politics as some kind of super new thing in their society is pretty unhelpful to them. The rise of this kind of fascism in America isn't new, and it's been beaten before.

There are three major myths about the Metroid series that people will often bring up that only have partial truth to them.
1. Metroid doesn't sell well.
2. Metroid isn't popular in Japan.

Let's examine these.
