This is why Pride matters - because no one should have to live in fear of being ostracized or abandoned for who they are. RIP sir 🫡
A military veteran who went on to serve as a firefighter revealed in his obituary that he was gay, a secret he said he held his entire life.

Col. Edward Thomas Ryan died at age 85 on June 1, the first day of #Pride Month.

It's funny how when you ask them why they think Pope Francis was "too woke" and request specific examples, they always wound up describing Christ's teachings without a hint of self-awareness.

Sorry not sorry, y’all. I will never ever never never ever support anything that diminishes trans rights - even if it’s just one tenth of one percent of their rights. Never. Because once you forfeit one tenth of one percent, that becomes 10%, then 100%. Every. Time.

I was talking to my eldest last night and they asked me, "Aren't you scared?"

"Yes," I said. "But I try to remember that no matter how dark it is, the stars still shine; there are millions of us fighting the darkness. We don't know what will happen, but you aren't alone. Look for the helpers."

Feel the things you need to feel.

And then
in what ways you can

Put your boots on.

Protect each other.
Love each other.
Advocate for each other.

Even when the world is dark.
Even when your voice shakes.

We can be magnificent.

We can turn this shit around.

Non-binary people exist.

Nothing anyone says will stop that from being true.

As one of the best Administrations America
has seen, I sadly say good-bye to President
Joe Biden and Vice- President Kamala Harris.
Taking over the worst economy since the great
depression they brought America back, and
did it all with compassion and grace.

Also, it was a Republican senator that tanked the “Hail Mary” bill Senator Ed Markey proposed. Tom Cotton, may your pillow always be hot, may you hit every red light when you travel, and may you never get re-elected 😠
MAGA is now predictably trying to blame Democrats for TikTok shutting down.

1) It was a bill passed by Congress.

2) More Republicans than Democrats voted to ban the app.

The last week has felt like mom and dad fighting over who gets the kids and when 😩 TBH, I’m devastated. TikTok wasn’t just silly videos, it was a community and helped millions of Americans do the impossible. I hope it can be brought back as we know and love it.
TikTok suddenly went dark in the U.S. tonight. Why? A source says "multiple critical service providers" indicated to TikTok that they would no longer carry the app or its data, citing fears that the ban might be enforced starting Sunday morning – despite the Biden admin's signals to the contrary.

The bar is set low for 2025, given the incoming admin. happy New Year FWIW!

The sun is shining in my neck of the woods today, a lovely reminder that we have crossed the threshold and the days will slowly get longer and brighter. In these dark times, it is my hope that you are surrounded by love, light, and warmth. Look to the helpers, be kind, and do not obey in advance 💙

Or, you know, they could tax corporations and the wealthy to help fill our coffers. Heaven forbid they do anything to help us plebes though 🙄

AI can be helpful for writers. Outputs must always be vetted & you can only do that if you know how to write to begin with. You don't become a master painter w/o making a million terrible paintings first. But students need to learn how to use these tools safely, too. There has to be a balance!

If Donald Trump defunds Planned Parenthood, it’s not just abortions that will be lost.

It’s STI testing. It’s prenatal care. It’s cancer screenings. Its fertility testing. It’s counseling services.

Millions of people across the country will lose access to care.

Libraries are essential for so many reasons, and so many people.
Book bans and attacks on libraries, librarians, and the freedom to read in Texas aren’t new. This has literally been going on for years. Just ask the folks in Llano @savellanolibraries.bsky.social
3 FULL YEARS AGO, Judge Ron Cunningham ordered that new book and materials purchases should be stopped, although 'weeding' by library clerks has continued. Since the firing of the head librarian of the Kingsland branch, there are no degreed librarians in the system. (4/4)

We've decided that #Thanksgiving is out, #MariahCarey Defrosting Day is in! We'll still have the turkey and trimmings, but I want to add some Mimi flair as we count down to the end of harvest season and welcome her arrival. Thoughtsies? (shoutout to my 11yo for the inspo!)
