can confirm good turnout at the protest in [redacted], ks

Well, fuck. A Bangladeshi lesbian friend has been issued an ultimatum on marriage by her family. She was, in the past, subject to religious conversion therapy to try to 'cure' her, and now will be married off against her will unless she can secure the funds and documents to escape. Please help.

They’re trying to stop you from showing up. They want you to stay home. If your state says it’s safe to go, you should protest. Meet people, march, make posters, organize, have fun, be seen. Don’t let the bastards win.

this image is giving imo

For anyone for whom this information might be useful: I found a combination of a regular paper surgical mask, a cloth neck gaiter pulled up over my nose and ears, and cheap shatterproof goggles to be unexpectedly effective when I was at a hot protest where CS and OC gas were both deployed.

The two choices in every election.

I think Hudler should rethink this sentence

I know it's been said but I keep getting re-infuriated about RFK Jr doing his thing, like we had this vaccines thing *settled*, they rule and they were working and all we had to do was NOT put the worst possible person in charge of the country's public health apparatus.

Not really for “for me” if I’m being honest

owie

Be safe out there ❤️

All right, this is a long shot, I don’t know many people in either of these places but I’m asking anyway: if you’re in Utah or Idaho and can foster or adopt George here, drop me a line? We can arrange transport anywhere in Utah or Idaho for sure, possibly farther

Wikipedia has halted their AI-generated summaries after backlash from editors

Declaring a national trans proclamation to immediately alert any friend that says they “wish they were trans” or say “if I was trans” that they are in fact trans and that they should just take the hormones.

we published an article about this! www.madycast.com/p/trans-incl...

talk me out of getting a tattoo today since places r doing flash events n stuff

"Doctors looked at my body, and couldn’t decide whether to mark M or F on my birth certificate. So instead of changing the form, they tried to change my body. "What I experienced is the opposite of gender-affirming care; it's gender enforcement... "I deserved to make those decisions for myself."

still very much feeling this today

Anyone know or have heard of places in Cary, Apex, Holly Springs that aren't necessarily restaurants that have good food? Like gas station chicken stand, grocery store cheddar biscuit, little league field concession hot dog, a monthly church pig pickin'.

LET'S GOOOO

The thing that is so hollow and bothers me so much about the messaging of “the U.S. can’t be the world’s soup kitchen” is that yes we absolutely can. We have extras of everything. Food rots and entire condo buildings sit empty.

went to da royals pride game last night and the result was homophobic (loss on pride night) but it was fun btw !

"They didn't realize they were tackling a Senator for asking questions, they thought they were tackling a journalist for asking questions" oh, ok then

been feeling very anxious this week abt this upcoming weekend, and also feeling like obvi it's my duty to protest but also seeing what's happening elsewhere and feeling super unsure about whether i should go to my state's capitol or not

Remembering Brian Wilson as he lived

Most people think the theremin is just for aliens, maybe ghosts. Only Brian Wilson had the true vision that it could also be for summertime sweetheart jams

I really hope someone told Brian Wilson about this because he'd be into it

“The opposition to climate action is using anti-trans rhetoric to build its base” A new analysis shows 80% of anti-trans groups have financial links to the fossil fuel industry, @yessfun.com reports

RIP Brian Wilson

Today’s news has me once again thinking about the time Mike Love was driven half mad by someone in the audience eating nachos.

DING DONG!! DING DONG!!!
