Got it! 🤐😶

REPOST if you stand with President Zelenskyy against Trump and Vance!

This is outstanding. Thank you for sharing this resource on how to intervene in the case of harassment or attack and also for protests. 💪🏼

Yes. 🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #translivesmatter #queersandhere #gayfordays #radicalqueerjoy

This is Beanie. And believe it or not we were both having a nice cuddle. #dogs #dogsofbkuesky

Toad in the hole. 🥣🍲

Yes Pflag!!! Trans lives matter and trans and nb young people deserve health care.

I was just planning on doing some work with an accountability partner yet because I had that sign up she felt safe enough to share how she is feeling in red state and how she is doing what she can to educate. I was greatly encouraged. Together we will not be defeated. 💙💙💙

I did a Focus Mate session today (virtual co-working platform) and I met a woman in Utah. She commented on the sign behind me and said she’s a librarian and is planning a silent reading session for teens. Another book has been banned due to it having gay characters in it. 1/2

NYU Langone’s leadership is failing to stand up for vulnerable young people who deserve gender affirming care.

Excellent. I was moved and inspired by the work you do. Thanks to you and the event this evening I can say that I’m an informed supporter of the New York Health Act. ✊🏼

I will always be an ally and stand with the transgender community. 🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷 #BeAnAlly #LGBTQIA+ #TransRightsAreHumanrights

‘Joy doesn't betray but sustains activism. And when you face a politics that aspires to make you fearful, alienated and isolated, joy is a fine act of insurrection.’ ~ Rebecca Solnit These words I take to bed with me. Tomorrow we go again! 💙

I’ve spent time on Bluesky, napped, been outside in the snow, had a bacon sandwich, texted friends and now what? Maybe that’s all I can manage for today.

It’s good to see some of my IG peeps here under the blue skies. If I’ve not spotted your follow yet, give me a poke!

Thank you. Good advice gladly received.

I no longer stay in jobs, intimate relationships, friendships, conversations, group chats or rooms where I have to question the support for and celebration of my uniqueness as a transgender man. Enough of that happens ‘out there’.

I like this.

Thank you! 🙏🏼

Yes - thank you.

The evil shit from this new presidency is going to be flowing thick and fast. I can’t be overwhelmed each day but I also won’t allow myself to become numbed and lose my humanity in my fight for justice. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This is my plan for the next few years and more- Get my news from reliable sources, feel my feelings, stay close to friends who are unequivocal in their support of me, build with people who make bids, focus my energy on specific work that will make a positive difference and never lose hope.

I’ve napped 3 times today. It seems to help me not have to think about the way this country is going (always was🤷) batshit crazy.

Even more so now!
