It took 500 years, and generational trauma, but thanks to Native children. The Pope renounced the doctrine of discovery stating "It doesn't align with the churches veiws." So glad it took 500 years and a new Pope to say this...ππ³

Good morning. Our doors would be shutting today and all of us would be out of work, if 1000s of people hadn't come together to say that #TexasNeedsAnObserver.
We are so grateful to all of you on this #Newstodon Friday!

@kevinrns @BlackRonin72 multitheistic religions were were far more tolerant as due to multiple gods they allowed different views
This came to me from a trans friend I know really, really well. For years now. And from that, I can tell you that there actually is a trans agenda. And it is this:
To walk through the world without getting their rights, bodies, and lives taken and attacked by people who hate them for no reason at all.
Thatβs it.
As states across the country continue to pass anti-trans legislation, we need to uplift trans people and fight for their rightsβnow more than ever.
I am proud to stand with the Equality Caucus as an ally of the trans community. #TransDayofVisibility
Join me in celebrating Trans Day of Visibility! Today we honor the lives and contributions of trans people and reaffirm our commitment to trans and non-binary Americans.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
