Dude we’re setting the new place up, and I’ve never felt happier living in a home that I’ve cultivated with my loved ones. It feels good to live with close friends whose I trust. I fought hard and worked my ass off and put all the money I made towards this and it paid off.

Arthur & Taylor are local legends!! They show up to every event and bring an unmistakable warmth in tow. They lend a hand when you're moving. They're best friends with my cat. They give so so SO much of themselves, and now it's time to give back! Please chuck them a few bucks if you can!! ;w;

Car got totaled on the way back from visiting family. Every step forward is 20 steps back. Tired. Getting a rental car to get back home. Lost work shifts. Don’t know what to do anymore to catch up. Hate to ask for help now, but anything helps. Thank you.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Donald Trump basically announces that he is declaring war on anyone he deems a Democrat... and one of the leading Democratic Senators, @blumenthal.senate.gov thinks now is the best time for a bipartisan censorship bill that will let MAGA define what content is allowed on the internet.

WTF?

alpha @omarsbigsister.bsky.social · 16d

Are you kidding me right now? This is the last thing we need. KOSA is back no thanks to Senator Blumenthal who is working with the GOP and bringing in Republican Senators to convince the House to support it.

Please, CALL GOP House leadership and tell them to keep opposing it!

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night.

All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com · 16d

1. It's shutdown day, and anti-trans provisions are on the line... either today, or in a few more weeks if a clean continuing resolution passes.

Trump posted a video this morning blaming a shutdown on trans people and immigrants.

Here is your shutdown guide.

Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot. She has looked out for us for generations, now it’s time to look out for her. Donate if you can: fundly.com/missmajor
