George, Pink Haven is an org desperately trying to get off the ground. They’ll match trans folks fleeing red states to hosts who can give them temporary shelter in safer areas.They need lots of $ to launch. I want to open our home and I know there are tons of others. Can you help in a big way?
I couldn't sleep last night. Ambassador David Pressman assessment is chilling. The Hungary press labeled him a pedophile which is pretty extraordinary. He and his husband of 24 years are fathers of two children.
Bush in 2017 summed it up nicely then
"according to three people who were present, Bush gave a brief assessment of Trump’s inaugural after leaving the dais: “That was some weird shit.” All three heard him say it."
With respect to Roosevelt's loss, this is how the morning after the election felt to me. I'm still recovering from 9/11, and this was like ripping the scab off the wound.
While this entry means something else to most here, for me the words refer to someone else.
On Jan 20, the world lost an amazing man I doubt anyone here knows. He was a bright light, lovely & loving. He worked hard teaching people to communicate better. He succumbed to his illness at the same hour.
In my state, he was sought after by politicians, businesses, state gov't, universities, & individuals. He believed that clear communication made the world a better place. He wore amazing flamboyant shirts & a good glass of wine. He loved his spouse. Everyone who knows him will greatly miss him.
And sometimes, I wonder, if he got out at a good time.
@georgetakei.bsky.social, you remind me a bit of him.
We'll miss you, M. Thanks for Leavenworth.

These people are non partisan data analysts, using voter data from elections all over the world.
I am incredibly grateful for their relentless work.
What they are discovering about our recent election is…well you take a look for yourself. https://SmartElections.us

And not in any kind of good way.

Rarely has a technical error been that well received by audiences.

I am now supporting their right to be who they want to be through PFLAG.

It may cost a bit more, but there are other costs than the ones we face at the register.
Unionize your workplace, be who you are in public with no apology, and refuse to comply with their big brother shit.
Imagine your kids growing up in that world.
