Keep Dancing! Keep fighting!

All purchases Blackout February 28. We have to demonstrate somehow! www.newsweek.com/nationwide-e...

"My future will not be held hostage by my past. My bullies & abusers will not define how I talk to or relate to myself. I will not sabotage, harm, or kill myself as penance for sins I did not commit." Tattoo it on your goddamn soul.

TERFs viewing trans women as a bigger threat to them than cis men is obviously delusional—their movement is built on conspiracies—and it’s also part of how power structures like misogyny work. The cis men at the top benefit from TERFs perpetuating the marginalization of trans people.

Exactly. The hand wringing to excuse your family member(s), preacher, or other, is way past time. If you eat with those who condone fascist behavior, don’t be upset when you get lumped in with them.

I am feeling this!

This is truth. I’d rather sit at my own table than beg for authentic love from folks.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

This puritanical pixie thinks Jesus's Sermon on the Mount was radical ideology. "Blessed are the merciful." Matthew 5:7 Christian Nationalists are the least likely Americans to pay attention to Jesus. Even atheists are more likely to follow his teachings, if only inadvertently.

See these pictures from NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. These are the people who did not get “it will all be okay”. They died at the hands of an R administration that refused to acknowledge HIV. Stop it with the “we’ll get through this “placations. These “all okay” words actively endanger folks!

It is always a pleasure to read @herreraimages.bsky.social Sincerely, thank you, Leo.

My sweetheart putting his loving hand on me when I ask for us to stop and take a pic. 🏳️‍🌈

Thankful for this wonderful weekend with my husband. May our loving strength see us through the years ahead.

This is beautiful. Thankful for this reminder to welcome my always becoming self.

We’re snowed in, and having a fabulous day together playing video games, making yummies, and being husbands. ❤️

Mom’s was a life of complications, many not of her direct action, but a response to trying to survive. I still feel and hear the abuse and her rage. Mourning her is a few odd degrees easier than her living. The guilt in acknowledging that is a whole different kind of pain.
