Sleepy Charlie to cleanse your TL

We are in a Prisoner's Dilemma. Acting in one's own short term best interest is producing wide-scale complicity that will make the situation worse for everyone.

The greatest sadness I feel around our current political moment is knowing that many children will die or experience high levels of early trauma bc grown ups are being complete idiots

I'm also going to add to make sure to gather with others socially doing fun stuff too. You enjoying your life and having fun publicly is also resistance that should be included.

In case anyone is at all interested in intergenerational storytelling these days, I wrote and just performed an original troubadour-style retelling of Jack and the beanstalk that’s about wealth inequality and food scarcity and I gotta say it absolutely slaps

This is how it’s done.

i gotta say as a jew im not a big fan of the sieg heil coming back into vogue!!!

They’re doing project 2025, just like we said they would

You might not think of children’s theater when you think about the resistance. Except that Trump just cancelled an upcoming tour of a queer-coded musical about a shark named Finn. Think again.

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

Absolutely gutted for the incredible artists working at the Kennedy Center

I’m not a doctor but I’ve found that Starbrew Cafe is an excellent remedy for doomscrolling

Lmao try being trans on the internet

It’s Georgie’s 7th birthday!! 🥳😭🎂

Now more than ever.

They don’t know there’s an attempted coup

One of the most important websites in America right now.

hi can I please encourage you to go participate in cultural events, even if it is just to witness & support. it will be good for you and your brain and also for the folks who are making the art. stay curious. ❤️

As a fan of many women’s sports teams, I can almost guarantee you that the majority of people who are actually within the industry of women’s sports do not want this and have a much longer list of things they do want that get zero attention

I remain fascinated by the expanded child tax credit case study & the implications for leftist policymaking. People received REAL financial benefit from it. It drastically cut child poverty rates and it was rescinded without a real fight. I think about this at least once a week.

What we think of NYU Langone abandoning it’s responsibility to its younger trans patients

The knots liberal Tesla owners are tying in their brains right now must be wild

More of this please

There is no better way to piss off the working class than to defund Headstart

Saturday’s Singin’ Storytime recording is up for Patrons! We’re reading and singing all about *LOVE* this month. BOOKS: Love Makes A Family & Nen and The Lonely Fisherman SONGS: I Lava You, L-O-V-E, Can’t Help Falling In Love See you at the next one!

My wife and I had to unexpectedly get a new car this week 🫠 and while I’m sad to say goodbye to SubaRUTH I’m excited to welcome SuBRINA into our lives

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

So, a quick reminder ...

It’s been a rough week…let’s do a check in. Where’s your thumb-ometer at today? 👍👎

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔 He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. “The Library IS for Everyone” 💚 #BlackHistoryMonth

Singin’ Storytime is TODAY!! Join us at 11am EST for songs and stories and a lil bit of joy at the end of a rough week. All ages welcome. See you there! www.patreon.com/queerkidstuf...

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Montgomery County Public Schools comes out and tells Trump to pound sand with his EO telling schools that they have to discriminate against transgender students. This is how you refuse to comply.

My virtual Singin’ Storytime program kicks off this week and it’s FREE with a trial membership! Make sure you register through Patreon after you sign up!

Fun to be the trans author of multiple award-winning trans-themed books trying to make a living through said books and also school visits while there's an EO trying to make literally all of that illegal.

On day one Trump's EO said we were harmful to kids. On day two, it said we were dishonorable and disloyal. On day three, it said we were unAmerican. Transgender people have been a part of this country for centuries. We are not going anywhere. Do not comply with these EOs, they are not law.

Idk about you but my mission for the next four years is to save as many trans kids as I possibly can

1. Getting word that we have another anti-trans EO tonight, this time targeting teachers. It directs the federal government to work with state AGs to put teachers who use trans kids pronouns in jail through "sexual exploitation" laws or "practicing medicine without a license." From a RW source:

listen, we gotta live. we have to outlast them. we have to turn their graves into trans inclusive toilets.

If you are looking to combat misinformation around gender-affirming care for young people in this current moment, I made 10-part video explainer series breaking down everything from puberty blockers to gender-affirming surgery. ⬇️ xtramagazine.com/inside-xtra/...
