•Strom Thurmond fathered a child, Essie Mae Washington-Williams, in 1925 with a 15- or 16-year-old Black domestic worker named Carrie Butler, while Thurmond was 22 years old and working/living in his parents' home in South Carolina.
•Critics, legal scholars, and commentators have argued that the extreme racial power imbalances, Jim Crow-era coercion, and Butler's age under South Carolina statutory laws of the time meant the encounter constituted statutory rape or sexual exploitation.

•Washington-Williams did not publicly reveal Thurmond as her father until December 2003, months after his death, and later wrote in her memoir [Dear Senator] that she maintained a complex relationship with him, while historians and civil rights analysts continue to debate the predatory dynamics of the relationship.

Archive of Our Own, more commonly known as AO3, announced it was going down for maintenance for “around 2 weeks” but possibly ‘up to 4 weeks,’ leaving thousands of fan-fiction readers publicly grieving. thecut.com/article/archive-o…

A lot. One of my beliefs is that laziness can be a survival strategy, too. When ppl repeatedly learn that effort doesn't meaningfully improve circumstances, disengagement can become a way of protecting themselves. Then we see adaptation to their conditions as a character flaw

When you tell us to build outside of Hollywood and Broadway or the music industry, you must also follow and support. It can’t be “fuck the system” but then you’re actively missing when we call for support.
