This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

🌈 It’s June. ⚠️ Rainbows are out. So are the Very Online bigots. Somewhere right now, a man named Keith is explaining how Skittles ruined Western civilisation. Stay hydrated. Weaponise sarcasm. Happy Pride. Read The Bear’s letter to the editor ⤵️

There is no way Ukraine could trust the current US government with info that they had operatives behind enemy lines in Russia to execute this operation. Telling that to the Trump admin would put their lives in even greater danger than they already were.

Puffins are social, so to attract them to Maine's rocky islands, National Audubon's Seabird Restoration Program put out decoys to attract real birds. This puffin is trying to fit in with his new friend by standing on one leg. Seabird peer-pressure can be intense. (📷: Robert F. Bukaty)

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country. Otherwise, it’s just racism.
