This was her FAVORITE time of year... She should be spending it with family... she should be be alive. I'm pissed she's not. I'm so so pissed. I'm hurt. on the verge of tears.

Please dont forget her face, her name, her smile, her caring soul.

She wanted to be a nurse. Wanted to help mothers and babies... And she never got to.

The world was a better place when she was in it...

Merry Christmas Breonna... Thinkin ab you...

Thomas Jennings was a free man born in 1791 in New York City. He was 30 years old when he was granted a patent for a dry cleaning process. In his early 20s Thomas Jennings became a tailor, and later opened a dry cleaning business in the city. As a tailor. Jennings' skills were so admired that people near and far came to him to alter or custom tailor items of clothing for them. Eventually, Jennings reputation grew such that he was able to open his own store on Church street which grew into one of the largest clothing stores in New York City. While running his business Jennings developed dry-scouring. He had many customers complain of their clothes being ruined by stains and so he began experimenting with cleaners and mixtures that would remove the stains without harming the material. He earned a large amount of money as a tailor and even more with his dry scouring invention and most of the money he earned went to his abolitionist activities. In 1831, Thomas Jennings became assistant secretary for the First Annual Convention of the People of Color in Philadelphia, PA. Thomas L. Jennings Dry Scouring technique created modern day dry cleaning. Jennings was fortunate that he was a free man at the time of his invention. Besides all the other indignities and cruelties slaves had to face, they were also ineligible to hold a patent. Under the US patent laws of 1793 a person must sign an oath or declaration stating that they were a citizen of the USA. While there were, apparently, provisions through which a slave could enjoy patent protection, the ability of a slave to seek out, receive and defend a patent was unlikely. Later, in 1858, the patent office changed the laws, stating that since slaves were not citizens, they could not hold a patent. Furthermore, the court said that the slave owner, not being the true inventor could not apply for a patent either. Thomas Jennings died in New York City in 1856.

xenogenders are criticized a lot for being impractical. if everyone has their own not widely known gender, people will not know what you're talking about.

that's part of the point. the more labels we have, the less power and authority western gender has over us.

xeno labels are impractical if you're still using gender to oppress and discriminate.

The famous anti-slavery token made by the Wedgewood pottery in 1787 entitled 'Am I not a Man and a Brother?' was popular among abolitionists in England. But it would be 1838 before a coin was struck for enslaved women's rights – 'Am I not a Woman and a Sister?' – and then it was made for the American Anti-Slavery Society and popular in America.

English elite women did not feel a sisterhood with women of a lower class or another race. Elite women called for political rights for their own class, not for anyone else. They even used the example of slavery to support their campaign – comparing their inequality to slavery.

Might add more to this later but self proclaimed radical feminists ideas of how abolishing gender works is so completely far off. And trans people, especially nonbinary people, people with xenogenders, and our supporters, are doing a lot better job of working towards that then they are. Because the first step to getting rid of a widespread social construct that has been heavily implanted in people for centuries, is testing the limits of it and expanding the boundaries of what has been considered the "right" way to engage with the social construct or exist inside of it. You cannot go from step one to the last step of 'this social construct no longer exists, it's being abolished!', it simply does not work in practice. There are middle steps. And with gender, supporting trans people help accomplishes those middle steps. Because the rigid boxes of gender being kept around hurts us at higher rates because of how we don't fit into it "correctly". Gnc and intersex people are other groups more heavily affected. Gnc people for having the 'audacity' to not go along with rigid gender roles. Intersex people for not looking like or having people's constructed idea of what their gender should look like or their body should be like. Trans people for having the 'audacity' to not agree with the box they where shoved into that didn't fit them. You cannot stretch the limits of gender, let alone stretch it enough that it becomes obstinate enough to be considered abolished, while pushing aside, fighting against, or attacking the main groups whose existence challenges these limits society put in place.

#OTD in 1845 – Abolitionist Frederick Douglass speaks to a packed house in Cork on the subject of slavery.

Abolitionist Frederick Douglass speaks to a packed house in Cork on the subject of slavery. “Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen,—There is perhaps no argument more frequently resorted to by the Slaveholders in support of the slave system, than the inferiority of the slave. In the name of Christianity, I demand that people of these countries be interested in the question of slavery! In vain may…
