The first Pride was a riot.
Trans women of color started the fight for queer liberation fifty years ago.
Today, queer immigrants, people of color and sex workers still face police violence.
No cops at pride.

I KNEW even before I looked at the U.S. - Large Residential Washers from Korea case under the #WTO that zeroing was involved somehow.

Systemic marginalization, mental health
The myth of fairness and meritocracy is not only a lie, it actively hurts marginalized people. https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2017/07/internalizing-the-myth-of-meritocracy/535035/?utm_source=pocket&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=pockethits

"Because of the binary the U.S. has created of winners and losers, we often think of Indigenous peoples as on the losing end of history without understanding the miracle of Indigenous life today and the fact that there are elements of a future society premised on justice and sustainable relations between human and nonhuman worlds existing within Indigenous cultures themselves." -- Nick Estes

Even after a few hours I am still annoyed. We had an HR "training" on "dealing with difficult people." Which apparently includes anyone who won't meet your eyes. When I pointed out the cultural and neurological issues involved in this, I got talked down to.

Work-life balance, sexism
"What if, instead of searching for perfect work-life balance at all times, you divided your life into seasons that focused on a particular area?"
This resonates with me and is another reason why the "everything must happen in a straight line by a certain age" time-limited approach to careers is so destructive, particularly to women who are expected to take on a lot of family care duties.

They're called friendship benches I'm sobbing
Broke: Freud's couch
Woke: Chibanda and the Grannies on a bench
In 2006, [Chibanda] told the city health department he wanted to start a mental health programme there.
Neither the department nor the clinic staff were enthusiastic. “The clinic told me the nurses were too busy,” Chibanda said. “And there was no space for me to work inside the building.” So he set up a bench in the yard.
Grudgingly, the clinic lent Chibanda the services of its “Grannies” – middle-aged or older women with little education, who earn a small stipend doing community health work.
Psychiatric care in developing countries, depression, suicide
This article mentions the anecdote of Erica, a 24-year-old Zimbabwean woman who had killed herself. The exchange between Erica's mother and Dr. Chibanda, who had treated Erica before and had asked to see her as soon as possible on hearing of a prior, unsuccessful suicide attempt, is haunting:
"Why didn’t you bring her to see me as we planned?” Chibanda asked.
“We didn’t have bus fare,” the mother said.

This interview made the shockingly useful observation, which I'd never put together before, of why antisemitism is so core to the modern Far Right, despite being one of the biggest impediments to recruitment.

Namely, that the things white people are disaffected about are the same things as everyone else: lack of job security, growing wealth inequality, rising cost of living, and all the other horrors of late capitalism.

And they're not fools when it comes to the causes of these problems. And it is natural that they would feel some sympathy for Leftist arguments.

But you can turn most any Leftist argument into a fascist one if you just replace all instances of "capitalism" with "Jews."

You can't blame everything on Black people and immigrants because they're codified as poor. You need someone who represents wealth. So they sub the stereotype of the Jewish banker for the bourgeoisie and all that stress about capitalism leads to becoming a Nazi.
