Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

For those of you who knew Victoria Brownworth on Twitter, she passed away from cancer yesterday. She was a fearless journalist who reported on AIDS in the 80s (when Reagan was ignoring it), lifted up the LGBTQ community, & rooted out corruption. Her wife, Maddy Gold, died of cancer in 2022.

This came into my feed via @kirstimiller30.bsky.social. it's quite well written (the article, I can't appraise the research as I'm not an expert) and worth everyone's time to read. The title doesn't do the content justice btw. It's much more broad. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sexu...

Several months ago, as despair closed in around us, I went to New Orleans to discover how their trans scene was fighting back. What I found was SASS. It was our home, the base of the community, its pride and joy and central hub of activity and resistance. Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

An incredibly important skill REQUIRED for being a mentally healthy successful creative is to practice going "That thing isn't for me, but I'm really happy for its apparent success!" Spending energy on hating things and making that your personality always leads to unhappiness or self embarrassment.

something I really appreciate about Pascal is that he's using his position - which is very secure, he's hugely successful and they're not going to throw away a bunch of money firing him - to be this outspoken it's important that everyone speak out on trans rights but especially big names

Beyond the fact that I love this photo, I think about this concept ALL OF THE TIME. As an archivist, I am really conscious of the fact that it's likely we'll have a more robust understanding of the 18 and 19th centuries than of the 21st century. Why? PAPER. bsky.app/profile/doro...

“History was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders.” - Terry Pratchett, Jingo (and these are not good men)

This is what a worldwide Tesla boycott looks like. Reports just in show that Tesla sales in San Diego have dropped by 35% this month. We likely won’t have a full picture of U.S. sales for another week.
