BOSS: you're late

ME: *grabs cup out of his hand* it's pronounced "latte" but thanks

Drag queens and trans men/women are not hurting children.
Gay men/women are not hurting children.
You know what’s/who’s hurting children?
Guns
Trusted adults
Bullies
Poverty
Hunger
Lack of access to healthcare
No one to talk to about problems
Opiate overdoses
The list goes on.

Stop trying to play with people’s emotions by hiding your prejudice behind the guise of protecting children.

This is exactly why I'm such a staunch advocate for #TheOxfordComma.


(It's #HootinTootinTuesday again! Post some jokes or funny memes under this hashtag today, and bring lots of smiles to #Mastodon.)

It's kind of funny, in a dark way, when you think about the right's greatest fear: a vaccinated, trans drag queen wearing a mask and wielding a history book, teaching kids about black history.

@Mlobbes Reminds me of a high school friend that says shit like, "I think discrimination is terrible and I'm sorry that's happened to you, but no one should be forced to do something against their religion."

First they came for Elmo
Then they came for your voting rights
Next they came for our #trans friends
And after losing a bunch of elections, just basically started eating each other's faces

@f00fc7c8 have you ever lurked in neighborhood groups or on NextDoor? It's a real eye-opener. People love having the ability to constantly record their property. They are terrified of their neighbors and anyone that comes to their door.

I can't tell you how many people think it's fine to call the cops on salespeople, delivery people, anyone on their street who looks "suspicious" because they don't recognize them or because Black/brown.

Third time's a charm as I shop around for a Twitter alternative. I've tried Hive Social, Post, and now I'm hoping that Mastodon is my new hangout.

I mostly post about my virtual adventures as a kids author doing online presentations, but I have an interest in local politics in my home city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I'm sometimes snarky, but I try to be fair and funny.

This video will give you a little idea of my kid author persona.

My brother got called into HR at work today, because he was having a private conversation with someone else about the fact that they give Chick-fil-A giftcards as incentives, and he won't use them because that company is homophobic.

Conservatives are such snowflakes that the truth hurts their feelings.

Hello and a good meowing everyone! Have a most wonderful day and stay safe ❤️

When you only have 30 minutes break but you need to both eat and exercise.

Sorry #Terminator but for most #maga cultists your amazing message will never be understood.
They passed already the point of no return.

I support drag as freedom of speech.
I support drag as artistic expression.
I support drag artists as human beings with inalienable rights.

I reject bullying, including using the law.

Trans is beautiful.
Gay is beautiful.

You don’t hear YOLO very much anymore because all those people are dead.

Many on the right have openly embraced “Christian nationalism” as a goal, even though it is wholly anathema to our fundamental democratic values and cherished personal freedoms.

How have we stumbled our way toward the Gilead America of The Handmaid’s Tale? And how do we fight back against it? That’s today’s subject in The Big Picture.
