I never come on this app but I need everyone to know how much I love lady gagas new album

there is joy here

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

I only want what's best for the squirrels.

if anyone could do anything about any of this that’d be so appreciated

Resistance comes in many forms. Slow it down. Stand it the way. Tie whatever knots you can.

if you care about public health but aren’t passionate about homelessness then you don’t really care about public health.

One of the people who runs the shower side of the shower pop up my free clothes closet is at, Deeq, needs dental help. He is genuinely one of the best souls I know. He runs the kids' programming, does Somali translation, organizes the food shelf... And he needs community right now. 💕💸

no more breaking news, put it back together

went to Walgreens and found out that they have “lgbt” cards and

Imagine that it's so cold that Minneapolis has closed schools, but it's not too cold for some dipshits to be out evicting a small encampment, making people leave their shelters, many of which are frozen to the ground and can't be brought with them For fucks sake

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

I learned a ton about the damage that family separation does by reading Dorothy Roberts' Torn Apart, if folks who are lucky enough to not have contact with the system want to learn more: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/dorot...

A while ago, I made an IG post to explain some of the material threats to life and wellbeing that trans people are currently facing - just cross-posted to Substack since I heard some folks are finding it useful to share What’s At Stake for Trans People In 2025 open.substack.com/pub/kaicheng...

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

What’s your sign???

I had depression before I ever had a cell phone, as did several generations of relatives before me. I had depression despite eating all-organic, making my food at home, and giving up everything I could think of from alcohol to coffee. But getting rid of people like me is the feature not the bug.

meet me inside the Totoro bed cocoon on Valentine’s Day if you wanna listen to music, eat cheese and wrestle

Cannot believe it has taken me this long to read this book- so beautiful i am floored

i just love kendrick and i want to watch him dance all day

it’s the super bowl’s birthday

anyone else take effexor and completely entirely lose their desire to eat??? bc i think i could probably go 48 hours without eating which is alarming lol

I tend to view empathy as not just relating to someone else's feelings and experiences, but understanding that I -don't- always understand them and that my level of understanding isn't relevant to how they feel or what they've experienced.

really struggling not being on instagram bc I’m a leo and i got a haircut that i love and i NEED people to admire it 😭😭😭

perhaps the number one thing I miss about being a case manager is writing bi-weekly notes to everyone I worked with just to say hello and tell them I was thinking about them. True care and gentleness are such powerful forces.

We don’t need more moralizing about addiction. We need real conversations about how unmet needs drive addictive behaviors We need to discuss how true "recovery" isn’t about willpower. It's about support, regulation, and understanding.

the thing about football is that i don’t get it

2 minutes from opening the doors to distro, ALL of this will go out the door and into the hands of someone who needs it TODAY

Ra’Lasia Wright’s life mattered.

After Ra’Lasia was murdered I reached out to multiple city council members, @repilhan.bsky.social, and the office for missing and murdered black women and girls. Comrades reached out to the city and the mayor- it wasn’t until today that any of them said anything about it.

lots of love and prayers to anyone else redoing their HMIS training it is truly brutal out here

the fact that tomorrow is not thursday feels like a crime

Spiraling seems imply movement. I'm more lying on the bottom of my doom
