Last night, Hillsborough County Public Schools held its first school board meeting since letters from state officials ordered books off shelves. Two parents made particularly poignant statements that must be heard. You can watch the whole meeting here: www.hillsboroughschools.org/Page/6365

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.

If anything here is in bad faith, it was the Times casting its own contributors as “activists” when we had the temerity to raise our own objections to such reporting. (And as far as I can tell, not only were we ignored, the Times has doubled-down with the new podcast.) That letter: nytletter.com

#PrideIsStillAProtest

The heartbreaking statement from Jonathan Joss’s husband about his death.

#NoCopsAtPride

Pride is a protest. It started as a protest and needs to return to its roots. 🧱

Reminder that Doordash type services doesn't reimburse for gas. Tip the person who delivers your cantina taco at 1 am. The base fee they get paid is barely enough for gas (not to mention maintenance fees). If you don't tip, they're essentially delivering your food for free.

I hope these boys are doing well 💜

This is Bodie. He’s here to celebrate the start of Pride Month. Been working on this pose for weeks. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)

For everyone who is shocked by Joni Ernst's comments, here's the deal. She has always been like this. When a asshole shows you who they are, years ago, believe them.

Happy Pride Month!

Y'all ever notice that there New York Times and Washington Post don't hardly ever report on all the heinous shit going on in their own towns?

I really wish liberal media heads like @arimelber.bsky.social would stop talking about Musk like things were business as usual when this pro-apartheid narcissist gave us all a nazi salute on live tv. The mainstream conversation should be very different.

The new GOP slogan (thank you, Joni Ernst.)

love to have people arrested by a private shadow police force in my functioning democracy

Defending Medicaid cuts, Joni Ernst faced a sea of resistance at her toen hall. One woman said, "People will die!" and others echoed her. Ernst's respond? "Well, we will all die..." The room erupted into shocked disapproval. Be sure to shame her when you get the chance.

I talked with @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social about protest, why large “awareness-raising” events will not defeat Trump, and the kind of actions and formations we need in these times.

I bought an iphone 7 plus in 2018 for $850. That's 7 years ago. I got a new phone (switched to Android) because apps stopped supporting that model last year and I could not access my bank account on my phone. The phone is in perfect condition. It is worth $10 today, according to ecoATM.

We'll be tabling at Emerald Coat Pride this year in Crestview on June 7th from 9a-2p, stop by and chat with us and grab some zines!

There's a special place in hell for recruiters that set their applications up as Quick Apply and then email the candidate after they have filled that out that they will not be considered unless they also fill out a second application on your website. Just be honest up front.

We are expendable.

Palestine must be free. Attacking civilians is always wrong. There's no contradiction in these principles.

It's always The Only Good Fascist is a Dead Fascist until somebody makes a dead fascist.

This is a prime example of the norm in policing culture. That's why #WeSaidAbolish and we meant it.

NEW: More than a dozen high-ranking executive branch officials and congressional aides made well-timed trades since Trump took office, most of them selling stock before the market plunged amid fears that Trump’s tariffs would set off a global trade war.

Bessent shouted profanities at a goading Elon Musk in West Wing after Trump told warring pair to ‘have at it’ Bessent repeatedly shouted the profane insult at the billionaire, who responded by yelling, ‘Say it louder,’ as they brawled within earshot of Trump. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The real headline, “The  easiest way, logistically, is just go after people who are following the rules. They’re the easiest to just snatch up when they come into the office,” Kocher said."

Extremely onbrand for Microsoft, unfortunately. #FreePalestine

At the end of yoga, I strained my ankle and it lasted for two months. The movement? Coming to a sitting position from a plank. Very slowly.

This is not just a women's issue. This affects trans men as well.

Training tip💡 Want to get rid of that unwanted behavior? Don't punish your pet! Instead, gently redirect them to something you want them to do instead. Punishment doesn't work, and sometimes even serves to reinforce the exact thing you're trying to get away from!

Here's a great reference for dealing with reactivity in dogs.

June's pet-sitting schedule is starting to fill up, so if you have any trips planned, make sure you reach out soon!

This is what resilience targeting looks like in effect.

I'm continually amazed by the number of people who equate pro-Black and brown to anti-whiteness. Y'all are telling on yourselves.
