There is still time to get tickets for Gateway, St Louis’s regional burn happening this coming weekend! #burningman #gatewayburn #regionalburns www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticket...?

5/ observation from STL #NoKingsDay #NoKings Here are some wide scale pictures of the huge, peaceful and festive crowd, with thousands attending, in STL

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes. You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that. Please share as well.

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

I left Twitter with 217k followers and was terrified - the site was the place I got most of my information out for the longest time. I'm so glad I did. I gained more followers here than I ever had there, and I reach a broader and more diverse set of people here.

When the Cass Review came out last year, the NYT rushed to cover it complete with post notifications. After reviews in Germany and Utah came out supporting gender affirming care for trans youth, dead silence. You can be just as biased in what you don't cover as what you do.

Dana Rudolph at LGBTQ nation wrote such a beautiful story about Zooey and I, our family, and what it is like to parent our wonderful son together :) www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/05/an-a...

This is worth reaing & internalizing. Trump projects confidence & inevitability. But, as @lizdye.bsky.social writes: "After weeks of public fulminating, the administration quietly folded and quit trying to steal kids’ lunch money for the grievous sin of letting a couple of trans girls play sports."

Would love to see people at the burn this year! <3 www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticket... Cleaned link without the Facebook tracking here.

Worked on trying to simplify moving water. #bagbean #kaiathebagbean #tutorial #water 1. Do a shape 2. Add a dark and light 3. Add a white rim that follows the edge 4. Light colors adds lines into dark, and dark on light is just smooth shapes 5 add shading on the white and under it. 6. Profit?

I don’t know man, what could it possibly be?

What's up my fine followers and not followers? It is I, the nerd so nerdy that instead of being born on my granma's birthday, I arrived on May the 4th (be with you) I'll be grumpy about being 45 later. Do me a solid and share my art? <3 these are my favs. fallenlights.net

1. Today, the Trump administration's HHS Dept., under RFK Jr., released a review of transgender healthcare. It has no authors. It pushes pseudoscience and conversion therapy. It does not follow a scientific process. My fact check of the Trump HHS review. Subscribe to support my journalism.

One person released. So many to go, but it's a great first step. So happy to see he made it out~ <3

Donald Trump is under water on all major issues. Bernie and AOC are drawing record crowds across the country in Republicans districts. People are taking to the streets in great numbers to oppose Trump, and the Dems still talking about being ''woke'' like it's the 2024 election cycle.

Strawberry themed art this month for patrons! These were the watercolors, I just treated them like they were opaque paint in the end. I don't normally go this bright.

1. Rather than waiting for a funding threat, the state of Minnesota under AG Keith Ellison is going on offense, suing the Department of Justice for attempts to force states to discriminate against trans kids. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

According to PEW Research, Trump's approval is -19 and falling. He is unpopular with basically every demographic. The full report here: www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

For your bunny day

From my latest piece. The true motivating energy behind the anti-trans activists of today.

1. In a landmark ruling, a federal judge has blocked the passport ban for transgender Americans... government ban likely violates equal protection, and is made with animus. Though the ruling only applies to plaintiffs, it is expected expand in coming weeks. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Another huge ruling! The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals just DENIED the government's motion for a stay in the trans military ban case. The government CANNOT enforce it's ban on transgender people in the military still. BIG day for pro-transgender rulings.

sometimes I use extremely foul language

Nimbus Nursery Personal #art, 2023, another very abstract and swooshy piece from this period where I just painted things that appeal to me without thinking much of sense and niche. It's refreshing, honestly, even if little people like it. Prints available! DM or www.zhillustrator.com/contact
