I’ve been seeing a lot of videos about the line 3 pipeline on my fyp but I haven’t seen that much coverage on other social sites. This tik tok explains what’s happening from one of the people who have been on the front lines in Minnesota. You can also check out the website https://www.stopline3.org/#intro to understand a little more about how serious this is. Here is a carrd from @/Ugrunna on tik tok: https://ugrunna.carrd.co/ . She is another indigenous tik toker who has been fighting to stop the full construction of line 3 which would have a irreversible impacts on our climate and environment if the construction goes through. Line 3 is set to built on top of Native land while also going through the Mississippi River. The oil that is being drilled out of the earth is Tar Sands which is also known as the dirtiest oil on earth. If you or anyone you know is in Minnesota please consider joining people in the frontlines and if you are able to please consider donating to help with bail funds for people at the frontlines who are being arrested.

On October 8th, the Supreme Court is set to hear three landmark LGBTQ workplace-discrimination cases. They are as intensely personal as they are political.

Until 2012, Aimee Stephens was, in her own words, “basically leading two different lives, one for work and one for home.” At work she dressed and presented as a cisgender man. Outside of work she dressed as, and could simply be, who she was: a woman.

“In 2012, it came to a boiling point,” Stephens told The Daily Beast. “I didn’t know if I could go forward. I knew for sure I couldn’t go backwards, so where does that leave me? And if that’s all there was, what was the point? So, in November 2012 I considered taking my life and getting it over with. I stood in the backyard with a gun to my chest for an hour. But I came to the conclusion that I couldn’t do it—that I liked me too much. I made the choice to live. And it was shortly after that that I drafted the letter to my boss.”

…

On Oct. 8, Stephens’ case will be one of three to be heard by SCOTUS, which will consider—and ultimately adjudicate—if current sex discrimination laws protect LGBTQ people from workplace discrimination. The cases represent as momentous a moment for LGBTQ rights and equality at the Supreme Court as the Defense of Marriage Act and marriage equality rulings did in 2013 and 2015 respectively.

The cases are being heard against the backdrop of the stymied passage of the Equality Act, which would enshrine anti-LGBTQ discrimination protections in federal law (28 states presently have no protections for LGBTQ employees). The Act passed in the House of Representatives, but has little chance of getting passed in a Republican-controlled Senate.

The other two SCOTUS cases will test if the current sex discrimination laws cover gay people, and will be heard together as they both focus on sexual orientation.

Happy Birthday, Neville Longbottom!

From the moment we met you at age 11, you challenged our understanding of what a real hero is by standing up for what was right even if it meant standing up against your friends.

We here at the Harry Potter Alliance see Neville as a role model for social activism, and today on his birthday we ask you to celebrate Neville Longbottom by looking over Neville’s guide to tough conversations.

He caught a brief glimpse of a gloomy high-ceilinged, twin-bedded room, then there was a loud twittering noise, followed by an even louder shriek, and his vision was completely obscured by a large quantity of very bushy hair – Hermione had thrown herself onto him in a hug that nearly knocked him flat.
