Went to the pride parade in Boston with my friends today. I love pride; it's my favorite. It just feels so good to be around people that love and respect you not despite that you're queer, but because you are queer. It was rainy as hell but people still showed up and we had a good time 😁

Pride gets even more political this year, but then, how could it not? www.universalhub.com/2025/pride-g... #Boston #BackBay #SouthEnd

Ester Dean. Many know her as Cynthia Rose from the musical comedy series "Pitch Perfect". Outside of acting and being a professional singer, she's written a lot of songs for Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, Rihanna, and many other celebrities in the music industry.

Good morning. Everything is a lot right now- here is Pixel demanding a French fry.

Clearly, Secretary Pete Hegseth’s military trans ban has NOTHING to do with equal standards or military readiness — it’s about bigotry.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

This is incredible

Rewording my earlier post. RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress. I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good. If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

We are so happy to announce the 1st ever HEART Conference, we enjoyed helping plan this along side some other amazing organizations. We will make it known that the services (and future conferences) are FOR the community, BY the community, and are actually free and ACCESSIBLE to the community

We only rate dogs. This is a very majestic mop, potentially several. Please only send dogs. This is not complicated. Thank you… 14/10

I am finding myself asking: if troops on the streets helping masked government agents warrantlessly whisk people away in broad daylight is not the red line, what is the red line? Is there a line?

RFK Jr., who's supposed to be all about "facts and logic," is out here removing members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee?!? Y’all, these aren’t political appointees. These are public health experts—people who’ve spent their careers working to keep Americans safe from disease.

Learning to ride a bike is for anyone, at any age, and Bike Towns are the perfect place to start! Boston's first Bike Town is in Moakley Park, and we're getting ready to build more with @newurbanmechanics.boston.gov. Check out boston.gov/ride-a-bike for the full story.

Please share, this is so important to see how our young people are holding up and advocate for more protection and resources for them. When I was younger I used to take it and it really didn't take long

Vermont: this is Annie! She's young, pretty, and incredibly friendly - the type that normally gets snapped up within a few days at the shelter. She's been passed over for weeks, though, because she has FIV and people are scared off by misconceptions.🧵 www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

Goose says targeting our most vulnerable neighbors is un-American and he won’t have it. (Also there’s nothing wrong with MSG despite the nutritional information on the bed indicates.) 🇺🇸 🐾

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

Seeing some reactions to this calling it a strongly worded letter. While true in a literal sense that this is a letter, it’s unprecedented—and an escalation of a growing trend of unrest inside NIH. This took bravery. Each of the signers put their career on the line. We should acknowledge that.

In honor of the "let's resurrect extinct animals" efforts I would like to do a little thing called "Can You Farm It?" Today's contestant: the dodo. The results may surprise you

Students learning outside the textbook can recognize from a pattern in history that the majority of the nation is not guarded by the #NationalGuard. Instead, it is most often the wealthy that receive protection. #CriticalLiteracy #PeoplesHistory #TeachTruth

Attention Bluesky! You can ride Bluebikes for free during the Blue Line shutdown.

“Saw some civilians hiding in a bunker, cowering, looking out the door. Saw some advancing Americans coming that way. I just figured it was time to do something, to not let these people get killed. Landed in between the Americans & Vietnamese, told my crew chief & gunner to cover me…” Please read:

The attack on science continues. I urge you to sign the support letter for the public to sign, linked in the last post of this thread. I already have didn't take me long

For anyone in need of a timeline cleanse, here is Oscar napping on the floor in front of an air conditioning vent after a busy day of napping in the sun.

This should not be this sublime. I am sitting beside my mama and audibly gasped so loud (multiple times) that she asked "what are you looking at?"

I used to never give to fundraisers if I could only afford $5 - it seemed like that wouldn't make any difference. But now that I've run fundraisers myself I know that all the modest donations add up to HUGE results. Please consider chipping in a little if you can! givebutter.com/catsofyore

Today is the anniversary of Alan Turing’s suicide, in 1954. Turing was the father of modern computing. His codebreaking helped the Allies to win WWII. Arrested for being gay, he chose chemical castration over a prison sentence. He lost his security clearance, as all homosexuals were deemed a risk.

when eugenics is ascendant in a country, treating, curing, and preventing disease, disability, and death is indeed controversial. Those is power will say it’s “not worth the money” even if it costs very little.😕

TL cleanse:

The crackdowns on civilians and the threat of the national guard being sent to LA should be *the* most important story right now-- not the Trump/Musk feud or whatever the f**k that was. People are being terrorized all over the country. News outlets need to get it together.

If we did a limited edition Resistance Summer School merch run, would y’all be interested?

Tear gas is a chemical weapon and an abortifacient banned by the Geneva Protocol. If soldiers used it against armed combatants, they could be prosecuted for war crimes. www.scientificamerican.com/article/poli... (from 2022)

Reminder that tear gas is a chemical weapon that is illegal to deploy in warfare, yet cops are allowed to blanket civilians in clouds of the stuff.
