International Day of Trans Visibility Affirmation Support Respect Celebration #InternationalDayOfTransVisibility

No Kings Day I pledge allegiance to the flag of the people, by the people, for the people. I stand, at the twilight's last gleaming, with those who are targeted for the diversity that makes our country great. I write for the day when we are truly indivisible, from sea to shining sea.

Hanukkah At sundown today, the Festival of Lights will begin. These are dark times, and it's hard to find the light. Refusing to acknowledge World AIDS Day. Brown University. Australia. I wish you all, every religion and belief system, a season of light, hope, resolve. Be safe and be well.
