I never got the chance to know Natalie. But I'm fighting for her and so that trans and NB people don't face the indignities she did in death. And it starts with police and the news media.

Please share this as far and wide as you can.

hello 🐘 friends! the Mastodon Community Survival Fund has been quiet but we're still here. We are working on switching over to Liberapay's new payment processors, so we can accept donations again.

In the meantime, we still have $128 (thanks to generous donors! ❤️) and if you need anything or know someone here who needs something, send us a direct message so we can help you/them out.

thanks from a new MCSF helper, @ghost

Holy fuck I can't believe it's been a year already

I still remember waking up, checking my phone to see what happened, and seeing all the posts about it

We miss you, Natalie. We never stopped loving you and we'll never stop missing you.

As long as her name is spoken, so shall she live.

GNU Natalie Nguyen. Rest in power.

In the story where this telegraph system is introduced, it is also explained when someone dies in service of these towers and the people who run them their names are sent with the code GNU. This is because as long as someone remembers the name of someone they live on.

So when we say GNU, we mean it as a way of remembrance of them

If you’re new here, GNU is pulled from some of Terry Pratchett‘s work. It was a code for messages carried across a magical telegraph system.
G: send the message on
N: do not log the message
U: turn the message around at the end of the line and send it back.

Her name is Natalie.

Remember that name. She was a great woman who left far too soon. She still reminds me to this day we are all worth healing.
