What about yesterday when three children never came home from school because they were shot dead?

Trump: "We have 5 states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy 3 or 4 days later. It's true. And teachers make a decision. 'Goodbye Timmy I love you so much, I'll see you later.' And you say, 'Where's my son? My son is in the hospital.' Can you imagine? They don't even need approval"

Every threat becomes another entry in the case for queer visibility. You wanted silence; you handed us evidence. The lambda stays visible. So do we. 🏳️‍🌈

A reminder: Trans women are women Trans men are men Non-Binary people are people who exist beyond the M/F gender binary & can use whatever pronouns/labels they're comfortable with Trans rights are human rights

When homosexuality left the DSM in 1973, a medical label lost its power to define queer lives. A gold awareness ribbon honors the activists and evidence that moved dignity out of the diagnosis box #LGBTQHistoryMonth

To the people sending death threats because we post trans joy: fuck off. We are not hiding the gold trans symbol, softening the message, or asking permission. 🏳️‍⚧️ #TransRights

You never owe the world a smaller gender. A pangender symbol can hold the joy of being expansive without asking anyone's permission #ComingOutDay #Pangender

Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

A swirling world that makes the population nauseous, — (when does a hate-watch become just watching?) It was hard enough to be human, before they added all the expansion packs medium.com/@ceearr33/trapped… #MondayBlogs #Poetry

Algeria can imprison people for consensual same-sex intimacy for up to three years, and the law applies to men and women. Love is not public indecency. #LGBTQRights

Pronouns are not a guessing game for other people to win. Listen, correct yourself, move on, and let respect become ordinary. A genderqueer gemstone pendant marks self-definition without apology. #PronounsDay
