Silly clown. Angry activist. Drag nun. Lover of life. Protector of the Tribe. There are many faces, but only one real goal. Make sure tomorrow is better for our tribe that it is today.

And of course I goofed the QR codes image by having something selected and being too distracted to notice. Corrected image with codes here:

For those of you in the Twin Cities, I have set up collection bins at:

Where NEW pairs of adult insulated gloves can be dropped off in the donation bin.

Thank you for helping us make the holidays a little warmer for these youths!

Hello my lovelies! Today kicks off my "Glove Club" fundraising effort to benefit the Backpack Project MN, an organization that provides backpacks of necessities to unhoused youth in the Twin Cities area

Help us raise/collect 200 pairs of gloves to put in winter packs for unhoused youth this winter!

When a trans woman dies of natural causes, at an age greater than 75, having lived more than half her life as herself, that is cause for celebration, not mourning.

Thank you, Miss Major.

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.

A Politician Actually Defended Trans People. It Shouldn't Be This Rare.

Many Democrats are treating trans people as politically toxic. NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani released a two-minute video proving there's another way.

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

If you're like me and have that "X" marker, you will be barred from flights both domestically and internationally. Please plan accordingly so you aren't caught off guard.

Just a heads up:

"Non-Binary Passport Designations: Passports issued with “X” or other non-binary markers will be rejected by CBP systems, requiring resubmission with valid documentation showing “M” or “F” designation."

And you know they are terrified of the numbers that are going to turn out across the country because they've already started spinning it as "The Hate America Rally" in their news briefings.

They see their grip on control and power is slipping. And they are scared. Hit the streets Oct 18th!

If this is what they are doing OUTSIDE the building in view of the cameras, what do you *think* they are doing inside?
