But no he scowled and passed right by me. Now, I'm not visibly #trans, so all he knew was there was a fat old lady in obvious destress accompanied by a black woman.
So, off he went, we struggled some more, then after awhile another car came by, they wheeled up and the #BIPOC passenger asked if we needed help.
We said THANK YOU, #grateful and he quickly helped us up.
We continued on our way and I fell into a chair in our hotel room to write this.
It did make me think...

I work in a #Library
I mask *not only* bc I'm over 65, but because our patrons are often members of vulnerable demographics:
#homeless
#disabled
#BIPOC
i.e., folks whose #Healthcare isn't trustworthy & never wasI don't want to be where they catch #COVID from, or whatever else may be #airborne
I don't want to catch something they haven't been able to avoid
It's #Solidarity, not pity. I wish more of my co-workers got that

Found in my RSS feeds: Afro Index. From the About page: “Afro Index is an attempt to build a structured, culturally informed reference system: one that reflects the real range, technique, and identity behind Black hair. It’s both a design project and an evolving archive, focused on improving representation through better tools. No longer will creatives have to suffer through the ‘Killmonger […]

I am making an effort to spend more time than I spontaneously would on profiles of people who are not white. It’s horrible to realize the internalized racism that makes me overlook BIPOC people.

Hi, I'm V! #introduction
I am a late-fifties white, fat #disabled #nonbinary person. I live with my partner D & his partner, E, who also hang round on fedi. Sadly, we currently have no pets, but we help out our neighbours & friends with dog walking and pet sitting.
I have a bunch of chronic illnesses & conditions that limit my energy, so posting & response times can be slow and sporadic, but I do my best. I will CW when appropriate and provide image descriptions. I don't boost images without descriptions.
I love the #fediverse; however, I am aware of the problems this place has, especially for #BIPOC . I try to use it critically & thoughtfully and do my best not to be part of the problem. I do appreciate being called out/in if I fuck up, but I recognise that responsibility is mine to do better.
I am trying to unlearn a whole bunch of #racist #colonialist crap amongst other things, so I can be a halfway decent human. BTW Fuck whiteness, white supremacist, nationalist bollocks in any form or shape. I won't argue with you, I'll block & report you.
I like #sewing , #art , #gardening , #craft, #photography, and #Slowmaking stuff in general.

#ShieldAlert: #AndSteiner, GenderDiverse #HumanRightsActivist, targeted for #PatientAdvocacy at #LemuelShattuck.
Urgent Update: #Whistleblower And Steiner Still in Danger Despite Recent Concessions
September 22, 2025: "#MindFreedomInternational (#MFI) is pleased to report that, in response to our previous Shield Alert update, Lemuel Shattuck Hospital has allowed And Steiner to see a covering provider of their choice and assured that And’s requests are being taken seriously. However, MFI remains concerned about And’s safety and well-being despite these concessions.
"As a reminder, And is a #Massachusetts (MA) Department of Mental Health (DMH) patient at Lemuel Shattuck Hospital and whistleblower alleging criminal misconduct and abuse within the Massachusetts #DMH system, and has faced a pattern of retaliation including illegal #ForcedTransfer, assault, and harassment and denial of #DueProcess. A staff member has also warned that DMH plans to continue this targeting and harassment."
See link below to learn what you can do.
"Main talking points:
- And Steiner is a whistleblower who has reported alleged criminal misconduct and abuse within the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health system.
- And is currently under the care of those they are whistleblowing about.
- A staff member has warned an MFI volunteer of DMH’s intentions to target and harass And.
- And has faced retaliation, including illegal forced transfer, assault, verbal and sexual harassment, and denial of due process, including recent targeted discrimination and abuse by staff.
- Ivy McCall, a friend of And’s with a masters degree in social work, who has attended many of And’s Team Meetings, has come forward saying she believes DMH is targeting and abusing And and that And is not safe.
- All Massachusetts State entities have refused to intervene despite an easily provable #patternOfAbuse and targeting by DMH towards And for at least 3 years.
- Many staff members have filed complaints regarding And’s care.
- #MindFreedom and many advocates and you remain concerned that this pattern will continue without intervention."https://mindfreedom.org/front-page/and-steiner/

[Petition] Black & #Transgender Lives Lost to Medical Neglect: Demand Justice in MA Hospitals!
The Issue
"My name is And Steiner. I am a Queer, gender-diverse patient that has been hospitalized in Massachusetts' (MA) Department of Mental Health (#DMH) hospitals for four years because of severe suicidality with suicide attempts.
"During that time, I have endured three attempts by DMH to suddenly discharge me from treatment without appropriate support, a practice known as '#PatientDumping'. This usually occurs when insurance has denied coverage or a patient has become a legal liability and often proves deadly, as you will see in this petition.
"While under DMH’s care, I have learned of at least two cases of serious medical neglect, and one suspected, which resulted in patient deaths. #HaywoodEarl was a Black man who died 'a painful and untimely death' from medical neglect at #LemuelShattuck Hospital, according to an investigation by #DisabilityLawCenter. Disability Law Center also investigated the death of #CaSonyaKing (pictured), a Black woman who they concluded 'died needlessly' from being 'patient dumped" from a #PsychiatricHospital. It is suspected that #JeanBusch, a transgender patient at Lemuel Shattuck, died similarly. All minorities. All died needlessly.
"When I learned of their deaths I was affected deeply. I reported Jean's death to DMH Authority, Attorney General Campbell and Governor Maura Healey in Jan 2023.
"Despite being under no criminal investigation, as punishment for reporting Jean's death, I was illegally and forcibly transferred to a dangerous forensic ward with no due process. There I experience 15 months of relentless physical #assaults, as well as verbal and sexual #harassment, often directly related to my sexual orientation and #GenderIdentity."

"When I learned of their deaths I was affected deeply. I reported Jean's death to DMH Authority, Attorney General Campbell and Governor Maura Healey in Jan 2023.
"Despite being under no criminal investigation, as punishment for reporting Jean's death, I was illegally and forcibly transferred to a dangerous forensic ward with no due process. There I experience 15 months of relentless physical #assaults, as well as verbal and sexual #harassment, often directly related to my sexual orientation and #GenderIdentity."

[Petition] Black & #Transgender Lives Lost to Medical Neglect: Demand Justice in MA Hospitals!
The Issue
"My name is And Steiner. I am a Queer, gender-diverse patient that has been hospitalized in Massachusetts' (MA) Department of Mental Health (#DMH) hospitals for four years because of severe suicidality with suicide attempts.
"During that time, I have endured three attempts by DMH to suddenly discharge me from treatment without appropriate support, a practice known as '#PatientDumping'. This usually occurs when insurance has denied coverage or a patient has become a legal liability and often proves deadly, as you will see in this petition.
"While under DMH’s care, I have learned of at least two cases of serious medical neglect, and one suspected, which resulted in patient deaths. #HaywoodEarl was a Black man who died 'a painful and untimely death' from medical neglect at #LemuelShattuck Hospital, according to an investigation by #DisabilityLawCenter.

Death of a patient with mental illness at Shattuck Hospital raises allegations of ‘neglect’
by Jenifer B. McKim, May 08, 2023, Updated August 07, 2023
"A 60-year-old Black man committed to #LemuelShattuck Hospital’s #psychiatric ward died a 'painful, untimely death' due in part to the state’s failure to provide adequate health care, according to a report released Monday.
"#HaywoodEarl, residing at the public hospital in Jamaica Plain, likely would have survived his bout with skin cancer if he’d received a timely diagnosis and appropriate medical treatment, the nonprofit Disability Law Center concluded in a 28-page report."
[...]
"Earl’s case is coming to light nearly two months after an investigation by the #GBH News Center for Investigative Reporting revealed a history of problems at the hospital, documented by patients, prisoners and former employees."

Show up for your neighbor: #ClimateCrisis and Inequality at Home
January 30, 2026
By Caitlin Marshall"When we talk about climate change, we can talk about greenhouse gas emissions, CO2 levels, and kilowatts of renewable energy. These are all key metrics that ensure we’re grounded in solid science as we find a better way forward. But we also need to talk about people. The climate crisis has always been about inequality among people.
#ClimateChange Displaces Millions
Globally and locally, those who bear the highest burden of pollution and vulnerability to climate disruption are our #BIPOC neighbors. And one of the threads of that truth is climate migration.
In the coming decades, climate change will displace millions of people worldwide. Most will be from the Global South, whether directly to escape rising seas and polluted land or indirectly when climate instability exacerbates political instability.
We might meet this with worry. Or we can be inspired by a different perspective. As #SinafekeshGirma writes, we can 'move beyond viewing migration as a crisis, recognizing its power to advance resilience, inclusive policies, increased adaptation financing, and community-led solutions.'
#BuildingResilience in Maine
So what does that mean right now? That means pitching in to support our current #MigrantCommunity in Maine. When we see climate change and #RacialInjustice as interlinked problems, we can also see that the solutions are interlinked.
For some ideas on where to start: Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition, Maine Immigrant and Refugee Services, Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project, and Maine Equal Justice.
Showing up for each other today is not only the right thing to do, but it also keeps building our resilience and skills. It prepares us for a future climate-changed world.
Right here in Portland, we are going to keep seeing climate challenges that ask us to help each other in times of need. Practicing now builds the muscle of resilience, of care. It asks us to be creative, and bold. It forces us to look around and see that change has always, always been part of our story.
We can lean into our community spirit, and in the words of Maine Youth for Climate Justice, create a 'livable future where we can all thrive.' "
