Floating out here in this vast universe, under a tiny, tiny sliver of an atmospheric bubble. 💗🌏🫧 What a babe.

First of all: thank you. This is necessary and important and good. Second: who tf is not signing on to this because I would like to have a little conversation.

As I keep saying, the unifying attribute shared by all democrats showing up here to harangue, yell at, and demean trans folks about their voting - they all hold us, and our rights, in utter contempt. It's what drives them to be here - we are beneath contempt to them, how dare we make demands?

Delightful

I will definitely be going here next time I’m in Iowa, no matter that it’s a couple of hours away from anyone I would visit. The Iowa City Library is also pretty great, so.

Boosting my friend Saed in Gaza. Any help goes a long way in keeping him and his family alive

Either we all win or we all lose! (This is a whole thread that I’m going to be reading articles from for a-while)

Now is the time to care about everyone, not “once we win” The time to care about everyone is always always always now

Listening to Heidi's son Michael talk about his mother's work and what she was documenting to BBC Radio. "This is happening daily and it's not only a single event that's affecting her only ... my mother is unstoppable and she will continue doing her work."

Just signed up to be a Poll Monitor in Tucson. Looks like they still have a *lot* of shifts open. Here’s the link if you live in AZ. It’s just a one-hour training, then you can sign up for shifts anywhere from 1.5 to 14.5 hours. Easypeasy! 🤗

Please send this mama some cash if you can, help get the word out for her if you can. It’s infuriating they have to come on here and ask for help. May they get the medical care and food they need. 💗

Please send cash if you are able, post if you are able, and send this family some love either way. 💕

If you want a picture book to teach your kiddos about how all land is Indigenous land, read my other book:

First Indigenous Peoples Day where I can say: If you are not fully aware of how the US government has terrorized Indigenous people and our children from its inception, read my book.

This is the first time I’ve seen “cisallohet” and obviously it’s fabulous and handy but also is rolling around in my head like it’s going to be my brain’s obsession for the day. Not a vocal stim but ? Anyway, fun. 💖

“Why this creation comes to life is never explained —“ hmmm so interesting how male reviewers never write “How this middle aged man can do all this athletic spy shit is never explained —“

Let your freak flags fly, y'all. Especially because, you would never believe the kinds of Pride we have in my time! These don't even get an eye blink. 😜♥️

It's October 11th, it's National Coming Out Day 🏳️‍🌈 Whether you're out and proud, still figuring it out or it's not safe to do so, remember... you're still valid. Sincerely, A Bi-Nonbinary cartoonist. #NationalComingOutDay

Happy National Coming Out Day! 🏳️‍⚧️🩷🏳️‍🌈 Coming out is difficult for many queer young people. We face fear of rejection, lack of safety, & losing the support of family & friends. #NationalComingOutDay #ComingOut #lgbtqia #fyp #viral

Lake Placid was not nearly as fun as I was lead to believe it would be. 🐊👎

Precious. Every school library should have a copy of The Black Flamingo 🖤🦩💖 #bannedbooks 💙📚 www.banned-books.org/books/the-bl...

To end Banned Books Week #BookSky: My recommendations for middle grade readers to become part of the resistance:

The machine did not "go rogue." The machine belongs to and is the responsibility of the people who own it. Hold those people accountable for their goddamn machine.

#BannedBooksWeek is a reminder that people deserve access to stories & perspectives that reflect the full range of who we are. Books with LGBTQ+ characters, stories about sexuality, and books that explore identity can help people feel seen, learn about themselves, & understand different experiences.
