I’m crying on the bus (again) because some middle school kids decided that for their “design challenge” they’d envision an emergency food delivery drone that could fly high enough and fast enough that no one could shoot it down. And no one asked why someone would want to shoot down a food delivery drone— or why you couldn’t just drive a truck.

In 1945, a woman named Lucy Hicks Anderson was arrested for the crime of marrying her husband, Reuben Anderson, a soldier in the US Army.

Lucy Lawson seemingly always knew exactly who she was. In 1886, a beautiful black baby was born to Bill and Nancy Lawson of Waddy, KY. While this child was identified as male, she insisted that she was a girl. She chose the name Lucy and informed her parents that she would be wearing dresses to school.

At this point in history, the term 'transgender' had not yet been coined, and public knowledge about trans people was sadly lacking. Confounded, her mother and father took her to see the local doctor who advised them to raise her as they would any other little girl. Bill and Nancy did just that. And by all accounts, Lucy's childhood and school years were uneventful and happy.

At age 15, Lucy left home, taking domestic work to support herself, then moved west, first to Texas then to New Mexico where she married her first husband, a man named Clarence Hicks, in Silver City, NM. The couple settled in Oxnard, CA, a wealthy community about an hour up the coast from Los Angeles. There, Lucy's culinary skills opened doors for her, and she began to cater elaborate parties for Oxnard's rich and elite. Her rolls and fruitcakes reportedly won many local contests and awards. Lucy worked diligently and tirelessly, and saved nearly every penny she earned from her employment as a domestic worker, a nanny, and a cook. And in 1920, at the age of 34, Lucy managed to save enough to purchase business property — a local brothel.

Lucy's brothel operated between 1920 and 1933, a period in American history known as Prohibition. During this time, selling alcohol was illegal. But as a brothel madam, Lucy had already skipped merrily over the lines of propriety, so she served her customers alcohol anyway.

In 1929, Lucy divorced Clarence Hicks. Not much is known about her marriage or divorce to Clarence, so we can infer that the separation was mutual and uncontested by either party. Lucy kept her business, and kept bootlegging alcohol.

She was busted a few times, but her numerous social connections with wealthy socialites allowed her to avoid any aggressive prosecution. Rumor has it that one wealthy banker even posted her bail so that she could cater his party that evening.

In 1944, Lucy fell in love a second time. At 58 years old, she met and married the love of her life, Reuben Anderson. Reuben was a soldier stationed in Long Island, NY. But their happiness was not to last.

Just one year after their marriage, a sailor claimed he had caught a venereal disease from one of the women at Lucy's brothel. At that time, the law required all sex workers to undergo a medical examination, and the Ventura County examiner insisted on including Lucy. It was at this time that her trans identity was revealed, and subsequently made public. He chose to put her on trial for perjury, arguing that she lied on her marriage licence, impersonated a woman, and stole VA benefits to which military spouses were entitled. After the story ran in a small Pacific coast newspaper, Time Magazine ran an article on Lucy, exposing her as a trans woman to the entire nation.

During her trial, Lucy stated in her defense, "I defy any doctor in the world to prove that I am not a woman. I have lived, dressed, acted just what I am, a woman". However, the court convicted both her and Reuben of perjury, and they were both sentenced to incarceration in a male prison. Lucy in particular was court ordered not to wear women's clothes.

Reuben and Lucy's relationship survived these indignities, somehow. After serving ten long years in a male penitentiary, Lucy and her beloved Reuben retired to Los Angeles, where they quietly lived out the remainder of their lives together. At age 68, Lucy Hicks Anderson died and was mourned by all who knew her.

Lucy Hicks Anderson was not an activist. She was not even known as a trans woman for the vast majority of her life. She simply wanted to live her life, love her loves, and pursue the projects and interests that made her happy. Lucy wanted only one thing out of life, and that was to be the woman she knew herself to be. And it turns out she was willing to fight for that.

Les insectes, nouvelle frontière de la conscience animale
La « déclaration de New York », récemment signée par 287 experts, présente comme une « possibilité réaliste » le fait que de nombreux invertébrés présentent une forme de conscience, et invite à en tirer les conséquences.

(Je m'étonne qu'on ait pu penser le contraire : que les insectes ne sentaient rien !)

Today I learned the story of the passively boiled frogs is totally untrue.

"The 'critical thermal maxima' of many species of frogs have been determined by several investigators. In this procedure, the water in which a frog is submerged is heated gradually at about 2 degrees Fahrenheit per minute. As the temperature of the water is gradually increased, the frog will eventually become more and more active in attempts to escape the heated water."

Sinon, je n'en parle quasiment jamais, mais je continue ici ou là à bosser sur mon p'tit #jdr maison (mais si, tu sais, ce jeu d'exploration ambiance "Le Château dans le Ciel", façon Ghibli, avec des mécaniques à mystères émergents inspirées de Brindlewood Bay !)

Et j'en suis au point où je bricole un proto, parce qu'il faut que je teste les bases pour de vrai si je veux aller plus loin.

Vais-je donc refaire un peu de jeu de rôle avec les ami(e)s prochainement ? Vous le saurez au prochain épisode.

Les nouvelles en lien avec les restrictions budgétaires imposées à la fonction publique commencent à arriver.
Les restrictions budgétaires vont avoir comme impact immédiat l'arrêt des remplacements des congés maladie de longue durée. Plus de financement des frais de formation.
Quel impact pour les usagers ? Et, bien, les délais d'attente de plus en plus long et des agents de moins en moins qualifiés pour faire de plus en plus de travail.
Comment expliquer l'intérêt des impôts pour des services publics dans ce cadre ?
On voudrait supprimer les services publics, ça serait une super idée #OhWait

Ça fait un sentiment doux-amer d'ouvrir instagram et de voir tous ces posts d'artistes annonçant l'ouverture d'un compte Cara. D'un côté, je suis content de les voir se mobiliser pour échapper à Meta. De l'autre, c'est décevant qu'ils n'aient pas trouvé leur place sur le fediverse.
