Love to collectively get the whole block to boo the LGBwirhout the T style GAY REPUBLICAN deputy mayor at home town pride. Fuck you Shamus

Wow a day of joy scrolling?!? That’s fucking unheard of these days

Told my girlfriend about my time in the Yukon and the Sour Toe Cocktail and she didn’t break up with me so I think I found a winner chat

This version of Cabaret is so good and Orville Pecks Emcee is so scary, my partner and I immediately bought tickets to see their last week in July when she picked me up from the train. Then they announced the next morning it’s closing later this year. I’m glad I get to go with her

I finally got down to the city to see Orville Peck on broadway, got the massive croissant that went viral last year, and pulled the Emotional Hairy Monster I wanted (Social Phobia)

Going to see Orville Peck as the MC in Cabernet on broadway today as our own Weimar Republic collapses around us

I love my partner and roller derby pals bc I needed help today and they just, showed up? Bought me food and juggled my kid with me at my night market? Insane

A beautiful wet farmers market overlooking the #nokings #protest #troyny

I’m sorry but why tf would you register for a PROTEST

So i can share it now, i did the poster for this upcoming @abiggaymarket.bsky.social @goldencrownls.bsky.social Summer Sapphic Market

She is so incredibly beautiful and talented and loves my kid so much and idk how I got so damn lucky

Holy shit I love roller derby

Overheard on the roller derby bout bench last night “That’s the second time I’ve been hit so hard my tampon flew out” Second time?!!?!

Honestly scream singing Pat the Bunny at the Apes of the State show with my girlfriend in the pit was a life saving experience

To observe the five-year anniversary of the burning of the Third Precinct at the beginning of the George Floyd Revolt, we've prepared a timeline tracing the trajectory of anarchist contributions to uprisings against the police from the Rodney King riots of 1992 to the 2020 uprising in Minneapolis.

There’s a tiny bb fledging crow who isn’t flying on the block, he’s just hopping around and yelling for its parents who are yelling back. I just watched a team of construction dudes (MEN) stop traffic to escort it across the street to the safety of the tree its parents flew too.

Went to the STRAIGHTEST Irish bar last night bc it was the only one with an open Kitchen and there were these old white ladies just throwing down to an acoustic version of Shaboozey

SURPRISE! 🌈⛓️ A Big Gay Kinky Market 🪢🌈 - a market designed to let your freak flags fly in an intentional, playful, and affirmative space is BACK on Friday, August 8th from 6PM - 10PM at Refuge Troy! Vendor Applications are OPEN until 7/1 with no exceptions! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I got to hold a fat lizard today and for those 20 minutes everything was ok

I don’t understand pickle ball, I thought it was created by Target to sell more cheap bullseye section crap, now you’re telling me full grown adults are actually playing this??

A really great 24hrs

There’s something really dark about a new Apple Store looking dispo offering police and military discounts

My girl hung out at the coffee shop while I was working and I got to text her context to all the drama she was being told by the regulars so she didn’t get the wrong ideas

Sometimes I love living in a small city bc my friends will text me their feeld swipes and ask me opinions and tell me I know every gay person, and I say no I don’t know every gay person, but then I do know their swipe and all the red flags and actually a lot of drama about them.

A woman in Georgia is being kept alive, even though she is brain dead, for months because she is pregnant. She was 9 weeks pregnant and they are going to keep her alive until she's 31 weeks. This is horrific and inhumane.

I just want to point out there are 2 bills that have been presented (in 2 different states,) that would make it illegal to pay people for porn performance if they are: - pregnant - have a substance use disorder - a “mental illness” - need the money to pay their bills

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey mayor is arrested at ICE detention center where he was protesting its opening, acting US attorney says.

First suit

The Stanley cup playoffs doesn’t have enough kissing in the Boy Aquarium

Hurt myself at roller derby doing some basic thing and I cried about it and felt like a LOSER until the vets all told me their stupid injuries stories and it’s not that I feel less stupid, or less hurt, but at least there’s camaraderie in the stupid injuries

It wouldn’t be small town pride season if there wasn’t an overwhelming amount of drama and egos tripping

I just finished this gorgeous custom denim and I am so happy with how it came out. I cleaned the local Joanne’s out of their fringe and trim last week, and printed the patches on vintage color shifting silk. It’s brilliant and I wish it fit me! Find it tomorrow at @abiggaymarket.bsky.social

They’re planning Chappel Roan at the roller derby bout and everyone did the little dancey dance

this is Mohsen Mahdawi, the green card holder who was just arrested by ICE for rendition at his citizenship interview

I love being my girlfriends hype man, every outfit pic she sends me is just magical, I just want to hype her up and everydays a fashion show

"Abolish ICE" sounded like a radical demand to Democrats, though ICE itself only dates to 2003. Today, it should be clear to even the most deluded liberals that if you establish institutions for the sole purpose of brutalizing people, authoritarians will inevitably use them to consolidate power.

This is really huge in the gay trans anime weeb community (there are dozens of us)

Super weird that suddenly today after more than a year on HRT my pharmacist at Walgreens had additional questions and concerns about my fertility and ability to have babies and told me they had to ask it from a popup on their computer. I don’t like that

I’m so so SO excited about this!! @electrogiraffe.bsky.social is gonna be tattooing some blocks I carved at the Saratoga Tattoo Convention this weekend! #blockprint #blockprinttattoo #tattoo #art

Starting to carve a freaky little dude based on the flamingo I met at the Oregon Zoo earlier this year who was all vibes

More flash I carved for my partner to tattoo on people, this time at the Saratoga Tattoo Convention! I especially love the ADK Baba Yaga, the Ghost Pipe flower and the scissors ✨ #tattooflash #linocut #blockprinttattoo

2009 I graduated highschool and started working in coffee, in 2025 they turned my student loans back on and destroyed my credit and I’m back working in coffee. We are so recessioncore

60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4clubLP

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head. He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison. Bring them back!

April snow in upstate NY and I’ve seen 4 burly men in cargo shorts since 6am. One of them riding on the back of a garbage truck
