Pride Month so far: Jonathan Joss is murdered in a disgusting hate crime and the Navy intentionally announces they are changing the name of the USNS HARVEY MILK. America... now more than ever... David Lynch's words ring loudly. "Fix your hearts or die." This cannot be our normal.

This is my baby.

Friends. Followers. People of Bluesky. Please check your knowledge of Black and Native history before declaring the US has never

This is NOT okay. Why not just say you want women to fucking die instead of dancing around it? Because that's what this means. That's what will happen.

The FBI is now going after trans people and their healthcare. Today it's gender affirming care, tomorrow abortion. This is the authoritarian playbook on display.

Almost certainly the best photo I've ever taken of some ducks.

For this #PrideMonth2025 support work by a trans author and come meet the crew of the #NeoG Interceptor Zuma's Ghost, queer people existing in a queer norm world. Their identities and sexuality aren't plot, it's just who they are. 💙 www.harpercollins.com/products/a-p... #booksky 📚🌈

I'm so sick of news stories from Trump Voters saying, but I didn't vote for *terrible fascist thing* Bitch, yes you did. And I'd love if any journalist would push back and say that (but more professionally)

Yes. I desperately miss living in an area with easy access to these things.

Yes.

#SFFChat All creative writing done by humans is sacred. (fuck ai) When we set pen to paper, hands to keyboard, voice to type we're putting little divine sparks out into the world. It is one of the most profound acts we can do, to create worlds and stories and characters who live beyond the work.

I just watched an hour long webinar where the presenter started (no joke) every other sentence with "Quite frankly..." I am no longer certain that that is a phrase that actually exists in the English language.

Diagnosis: mitosis.

HE'S frustrated!? Poor baby. Fuck off.

Amazing thread. Each better than the last.

Remember when I gave myself 10 days to read 3 books? I read 5. And I still have 2 days to go.

The Saturday morning cartoons of my childhood gave me unrealistic expectations for how much martial arts/vigilante crime fighting I could expect from the furry community

Dressing like a guy in Andor now. My shirt collar is also part of my jacket somehow. My tie is some kind of strap. I have two capes on.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

If the Sphinx's eyes open, you must answer her riddle and bring her treats.

🩸 This #MenstrualHygieneDay, a reminder that period products are a human right, not a luxury. No one should be forced to choose between food and period products, yet so many in our communities have or will. Everyone deserves to menstruate with comfort and dignity.

My morning coffee.

Look, I'm Jewish. Our single oldest tradition is being given an order by an authority figure and going "What? Why?"

This is cursed and I love it.

This weirdo sleeps with his eyes open and his tongue out.

Allyship is more than a rainbow flag. It’s standing between us & those who want us gone. Your support for trans people means nothing if it stops where conflict begins. We don’t need quiet support. We need active resistance to our erasure. Love us loudly. Defend us harder. There is no neutrality.

We don't deserve her

I just remember that they kept the dinosaurs alive in Jurassic Park.

We are like six months from them outlawing seatbelts.

Tommy Tuberville is what Charles Dickens would name a southern senator. That is all.

Found my new slogan for basically every day at work.

I love TNG but it definitely had some gaping blindspots.

Saying hello to some chickens on a beautiful day. The two in front are Marigold and Juniper, the rooster is Ambrose, and the two in the middle are Ursula and Zinnia. (Not pictured: Katya, Priscilla, Tilly, Violet, Wilhelmina, and Yente.)

It's going to be a delicious day.

Today is #WorldDraculaDay because Bram Stoker's classic novel was first published #onthisday in 1897. It's also worth remembering that if Stoker hadn't come across the name Dracula in a book while researching in a LIBRARY the main character was going to be called Count Wampyr. 🧛‍♂️

In fairness, I started working for an abortion clinic even before I knew that Trump wanted women to have more kids.

whenever i see a post from an account i enjoy i get a little thrill that i have thusfar not annoyed them so much that they blocked me
