Would be a shame if someone posted an unprotected link to watch my Quantum Leap episode about trans kids in sports.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.

I refuse to believe politicians are forgetting how rancid MTG is. Sure we can have a big tent but we do not need to welcome someone like her. Please everyone get a fucking hold of yourselves.

Today, we mourn the loss of Alice Wong, a trailblazer in every sense of the word. As the daughter of Hong Kong immigrants, a disability activist, and a fierce voice against colonialism, imperialism, and genocide, Alice gave voice to the interconnectedness of our collective liberation.

As an interfaith trans woman I’ve prayed for our religious communities to issue a joint statement like this. God is Love, and any individual or institution claiming to speak for God but preaching hate and discrimination is missing the mark—the *literal* definition of sin. www.uua.org/pressroom/pr...

Holiness must blossom precisely where decisions are made that affect the lives of thousands of families. The world needs entrepreneurs and leaders who, out of love for God and neighbor, work for an economy that serves the common good.

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.
Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

I want a currency that’s only available for exchange between transsexuals. I want to spend all my money at businesses owned by people with surgically transfigured sex organs. I want to be paid by and invest in an economy so exclusive you have to sever an erogenous piece of your flesh to participate.

I’m not a single issue voter, but there is nothing more important than healthcare. You can live through canceled flights, you can live through food bank lines. You will die if you can’t afford medical treatment.
