Miss Major Griffin-Gracy passed away today according to the House of GG. She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

This is why I advocate for getting a passport card if you can. Easy to have in your wallet. I got one so I can have ID that doesn’t immediately out me as trans bc my driver license does.

SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY, and I am NOT blaming anyone who’s a victim of this fascist nightmare.

This is how I imagine JK Rowling when she posts.

JK Rowling says "ha ha.. h-heh. I won! I won!" She sits alone in the dark, bathed in the late of her computer screen. We pull back to see her in a large dark empty room. She continues "I won." Seeing the full scope of her cavernous workplace, she appears small and alone. She says, once again, "I won..."

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

Frog and Toad sat close by the fire. They were scared. The teacups shook in their hands. They were having the shivers. It was a good, warm feeling.

Hello I finally felt good enough to go outside for a half hour, and I caught a giant crab for dinner

A photo of a large blue crab being held above a sink full of ice water.

The same blue crab, cleaned and cooked, on a plate with roasted broccoli and mashed potatoes. The crab is now red and has butter pats in the middle.
