Out of Alabama A Queer dark comedy about a couple escaping gender legislation with nothing but a suped-up minivan and plenty of cocktails. #MoviesMadeInAmerica

Fergus and Fritos say Hello!

Its #Caterday! At the vet doing vet things.

Instead of lemonade stands, a neighborhood girl has an egg selling business. 7 bucks, and it feels like Easter.

Now would be a good time to get a Compass subscription to PBS if you can afford 10 bucks a month...

BREAKING: HHS just released a 267-page report attacking trans youth care. It looks scientific. It’s not. It erases trans voices, manipulates evidence, and sets the stage for bans. Here’s what’s really going on 🧵

American Association of Pediatrics have already posted a response to the HHS report on trans youth and they are not happy. @erininthemorning.com has a thread on the HHS report, so give that a look as well. www.aap.org/en/news-room...

Yay Canada! Fight the fight! Thank you for standing up for sanity! 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦

Trump’s FBI just arrested a sitting judge and turned it into a public spectacle. Defying court orders and bragging about arresting judges isn’t 'tough' — it’s authoritarian. Trump and his crony Kash Patel are openly declaring war on the rule of law.

I’m learning about UE5 anim blueprints at work, and my brain exploded today because I’m trying to back engineer how one is working. This is me right now.

I got an #AskAgent ?? that was basically will I reject a query from someone w/ different politic views. And the short answer is—if you don’t think some of my authors have the right to exist—yes, I will reject. We won’t be a good fit. I refuse to subject my authors to people who will harm them. ….

#handsoff our books!

Serious question: When uber billionaires like Muskrat and Queen TERF are allowed to fund anti-trans policy and legislation, where are their counterparts? We need the Internet Daddy himself- more Pedro Pascals! (The Pedros who are Billionaires, tho.)

Extremely devastating news for transgender people in the United Kingdom. So much of what we face in the United States has shared roots in that country, and this Supreme Court decision there will make people far less free. Crackdowns on trans people are international, not limited to borders.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

🏆 @rollingstone.com wins the Headline of the Day Award This is how it’s done. At least someone understands the assignment. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Protection message for the moment; Be mysterious. Keep it close to your chest and don’t broadcast your deepest darkest right now. Watch and see and how the environment evolves.

#dogsofbluesky Are there any breed-specific starter packs? Or are dog owners co-mingling, and leaving specific dog breed-interest behind for places like FB? #gsmdofbluesky #greaterswissmountaindog #swissy #swissyowners

So proud of Boston and other places, individuals, and groups who are standing up against this dangerous, cruel, and petty administration. Law firms, university presidents, Disney, et al., please take note. #Resist #ResistInAdvance #DemocracyNotDictatorship www.boston.gov/news/city-co...

Post your space art 🪐✨ This was part of a series of mg illustrations I made a while ago. #melArt🔥 #kidlitart #illustration #kidlit

Currently hanging in Forks Washington. No, I’m not particularly a Twilight fan. But the place I’m staying has a sign that says “No Vampires” so apparently people make pilgrimages to Forks. Prob looking for their own Edward Cullen.

Good morning!

Spring Break and I found a bit of heaven for a couple days to recharge.

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

#HandsOff Santa Cruz was 8000 strong today. Not bad for a small beach town! It was a beautiful Spring day and felt more like a festival than a protest. Everybody had their issues nearest and dearest to them, but there was 100% alignment.

Yesterday was notable. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

A silly musical… + uber talented kids + fabulous art direction + a live orchestra playing jazzy tunes + my kid working the light board EQUALS… Two hours of delicious escapism and utter Joy.

Me in the national security team group chat

Funny how the Dems who are vigorously fighting for democracy are also the ones who haven't arbitrarily given up on their previous support of the transgender community.

Yesterday, a bunch of us took to main stage at UCSC and spoke of our dear friend @makinglight.bsky.social 🧵

What a weekend! Across the U.S., over 100,000 Americans mobilized — including more than 34,000 attendees at the Bernie/AOC rally, marking the biggest political event since Obama. Protests erupted in multiple states to defend Social Security, Tesla takedown protest gained momentum, and so much more!

Look. The world we're living in right now can be mighty challenging when it comes to creative work. But truly, we need your art right now. Here are some small ways to focus that will keep you moving forward on the work that matters to you. (thread)

wow… read the room?
