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.

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward.

"We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social

An illustration of Miss Major surrounded by candles with blue background and a famous quote of hers written in gold. The quote reads“I don’t need their permission to exist; I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

I think what’s most frustrating right now for Black and Indigneous people is waiting for the bulk of white folks to catch up.

At some point the “this isn’t who we are” and “I didn’t have this on my bingo card” has to end and y’all will catch up, right? RIGHT?

WE NEED YOU TO CATCH UP.

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 · 14d

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.

It’s been the honor of a lifetime to work on this series with @xanthe.bsky.social , who brought the kids and their adventures to life and infused the books with so much humor, awesome battles, and heart. I hope you enjoy our final book…for now!

This book is from Tyler’s perspective and is really special to me. He feels like the closest character to who I was in middle school and I loved getting to tell this part of his and Sunny’s story. Discovering role playing transformed my life at that age and I loved getting to write about that!

Rest in power, Assata Shakur.

"A wall is just a wall
and nothing more at all.
It can be broken down.

I believe in living
I believe in birth
I believe in the sweat of love
and in the fire of truth.

And i believe that a lost ship
steered by tired, seasick sailors,
can still be guided home
to port."

Kakuya Shakur
Just now -

At approximately 1:15 PM on September
25th, my mother, Assata Shakur, took her
last earthly breath. Words cannot describe
the depth of loss that | am feeling at this
time. | want to thank you for your loving
prayers that continue to anchor me in the
strength that | need in this moment. My spirit
is overflowing in unison with all of you who
are grieving with me at this time.
Sending much love and appreciation to you
all,

Kakuya Shakur
