I'm rebranding without changing my url, shhhh. She/her. Anonymous secondary blog. I discuss social justice, intersectional feminism, LGBTQIA issues and media, racism, and life. Asian American, cis, bi woman. I used to blog about Christian queer stuff but now it'd be more from an ex perspective.
Yellowjackets, Hunting Wives, The Boyfriend, and Heated Rivalry, are my current shows.
Claudette Colvin, whose 1955 arrest for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated Montgomery bus helped spark the modern civil rights movement, has died. She was 86.
Her death was announced Tuesday by the Claudette Colvin Legacy Foundation. Ashley D. Roseboro of the organization confirmed she died in Texas.
Colvin was arrested months before Rosa Parks gained international fame before refusing to give up her seat on a segregated bus.

If a rabbi is thrown out of the House of Study by a distance within 50 cubits, he is still welcome to return there. If he is thrown farther than 50 cubits from the House of Study, he is banished and may never return to it.
Rabbi Balmalocha asked: If the rabbi is thrown out and lands with one foot within 50 cubits and one foot outside of it, what is the law?
It was for this question that Rabbi Balmalocha was thrown 50 cubits out of the House of Study, then shoved one cubit farther for good measure.
