Happy Friday to all 🙋‍♂️💙🌈☀️

I told a joke on a Zoom Meeting and no-one laughed.

It turns out I'm not remotely funny.

Fuck off with calling all these anti trans and anti gay laws "controversial." They're hate laws. They're fascism. They're evil.

Journalists are going to "both sides" fascism until they are literally executed by the fascists.

For anybody scratching their heads over the reference to Lochinvar in the article. It's a character from a Sir Walter Scott poem:

'He's angry': Trump set to create new problems for the GOP as nomination looks locked up.

With Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' 2024 presidential hopes already fading before he officially announces, Republicans are trying to get their arms around how much damage Donald Trump will inflict on the primary process and to candidates down ticket. https://www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-angry/

@BlackAzizAnansi And people forget how @Jack really was! Remember when he was refusing to respond to the Black women who were being harassed on his old site? He is NOT any kind of beacon of hope.

WIP - a long time coming

An "old" conversation between @welshpixie and another .art friend (sorry, took so long that I lost you 🙄).

In the last stages. Just a few details left...

Dwyane Wade's revelation that he moved out of Florida because of hostility to his trans daughter is important, potentially making the issue real to people for whom it might otherwise be abstract/easy. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/27/dwyane-wade-transgender-florida-desantis/

My mother used to say to me "Eddie, success comes in cans. Not can'ts." My name isn't Eddie, but she didn't feel comfortable with altering a direct quote.

"We have been fighting to live as sick, autistic BIPOC survivors since we were born.

We know how to fight. We are not going back.

We know that destroying the fascism that trans bans embody requires a militant anti-ableist analysis.

It requires us to understand that ableism underpins all attacks on bodily autonomy."

Imagine convincing yourself that children being taught about their rights, about the True History of the USA, and about not hating others for being different, is somehow a greater threat to their safety, well-being than being traumatized by active shooter drills every month, or being slaughtered by assault rifles while they sit in their classrooms. #RepublicanPriorities

My cat always leaves the room when I start playing my guitar and I can't help but take that a little bit personally

That guy? He leaked dozens of Classified documents to his gun buddies on Discord?

Then we discovered he had released many documents, more documents, to a much larger Discord group, 600 people, aet another time.

Ok?

Now we find;

The FBI Found a Bazooka in Alleged Pentagon Leaker's Home
Jack Teixeira’s attorneys argued he should be released to his father’s custody, but the DOJ says he's a flight risk.

Of course he has a bazooka, 2nd amendment right? Grenades for deer and fishing.

Twitter is dying, but my advocacy work helping trans people raise money via fundraisers depends on my five years of work I've spent writing on Twitter, so I need help.

If you're a trans person who needs help raising money for any reason, reply to this toot with your fundraiser. I'll reach out.

If you're a cis person and you can, please boost this post so your trans followers can see it.
