Weighing in at 15 lbs (7 kg), Demarest’s hutia (Capromys pilorides) is the largest living endemic mammal in Cuba—meaning it lives only on the island. It moves with a waddling gait, and when threatened, can hop to quickly escape foes. This critter is an omnivore with a diet that includes fruit, leaves, tree bark, and small animals.

I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

I started making these bags because this is a really important issue to me. Trans people deserve equal rights and sovereignty over their bodies.

I considered a lot of different slogans but decided to go with ‘Protect Trans People’ because it cuts right to the chase.

I haven’t slept in three days.

I’ve been working around the clock to back up over a petabyte of research data and records and articles from the National Library of Medicine before it gets attacked by that elongated dipstick and his gestapo squad. Trying to get copies of every federal research program’s data before it gets destroyed in the crossfire. I hope to God that it won’t, but I have no confidence that it will be safe. Lots of copies keep stuff safe.

It’s uncanny how similar Trump is acting like Hitler. People are now doing the Nazi salute. They’re drawing the symbol. The KKK was seen in Kentucky asking people to join them. ICE has been ripping families apart. Companies have pulled back Diversity Initiatives. We’re no longer part of WHO and there won’t be any communication from the CDC at least until February 1st. We’re being censored and the news can’t be trusted. Thousands of Americans didn’t know there were protests against Trump yesterday outside the U.S. Quotes from The Handmaid’s Tale and Anne Frank have been compared to what’s going on right now.

According to The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Studies and Prevention the U.S. has officially been given a red flag alert for Genocide.

I’m exhausted but I will never stop being angry.

The fact that this is 80 fucking years ago but still just as relevant is terrifying.
