Hi, I'm God.

I categorically reject Donold's request for Me to 'bless America.' I will not be doing that until he is long gone.

Fuck you, Donold.

This is what narcissists and sociopaths do. They often project to others their own faults.

Genuinely the dumbest mf alive.

Truth social post by Trump: Justin Trudeau, of Canada, called me to ask what could be done about Tariffs. I told him that many people have died from Fentanyl that came through the Borders of Canada and Mexico, and nothing has convinced me that it has stopped. He said that it’s gotten better, but I said, “That’s not good enough.” The call ended in a “somewhat” friendly manner! He was unable to tell me when the Canadian Election is taking place, which made me curious, like, what’s going on here? I then realized he is trying to use this issue to stay in power. Good luck Justin!

I’m trying to practice serenity and mindfulness but the days we live it make it really hard.

Today, two Black Trans siblings were denied service and turned away from flights because their gender markers did not match their physical presentation. They were Kornbread Jete and Lucky Starzzz.

I haven’t had any reason to celebrate Valentine’s Day in many years since my ex chose the closet over me but here’s my contribution.

Happy Valentine’s Day, folx!

@donovanwoods.bsky.social is a Canadian folk/country singer songwriter and my straight bear crush. He has a gay sister and is a huge ally.

I love his humor and if you’ve seen him live, you will know he is just as funny and sounds just as good in person as he does over the airwaves.

Don't doubt it, don't doubt
Oh, oh, oh, oh
You know it, you know it
Still rise
Just fight it, just fight it
Don't be surprised, I will still rise

Benedict Tan @pdxpanda.bsky.social · Jan 22

'Cause when, when the fire's at my feet again
And the vultures all start circling
They're whispering, you're out of time
But still, I rise
This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in, think again
Don't be surprised, I will still rise

Benedict Tan @pdxpanda.bsky.social · Jan 22

Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in your veins
You know it, you know it
And you will not negotiate
Just fight it, just fight it
And be transformed

Benedict Tan @pdxpanda.bsky.social · Jan 22

This is no mistake, no accident
When you think the final nail is in, think again
Don't be surprised, I will still rise

I must stay conscious
Through the madness and chaos
So I call on my angels
They say

I will always ‘Rise’!

I won't just survive
Oh, you will see me thrive
Can't write my story

I won't just conform
No matter how you shake my core
'Cause my roots, they run deep, oh

Musk's hand gesture during Trump inauguration festivities draws scrutiny

And so it begins…

Billionaire Elon Musk's hand gesture while he spoke during a celebration of President Donald Trump's inauguration drew online comparisons to a Nazi salute on Monday, but a leading tracker of antisemitism said it appeared to represent a moment of enthusiasm instead.
