San Francisco supervisor presses police chief, mayor over Pride weekend police actions Jackie Fielder cites video of cops in riot gear clashing with Trans March & "Stud Alley" partygoers as she launches an inquiry. Glad to see Jackie taking this issue on! Where’s Scott Weiner? archive.ph/VzNtO

the brilliant @matteowong.bsky.social lived in a hacker house in SF and the dispatch is about as batshit as you’d expect www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

You can help those arrested with this go fund me. Thank you for your consideration.

We deserve so much more. Love & solidarity to all the Pride real ones this weekend. You mean the world to me!

We’ve been fighting for LGBTQ rights in the Bay for DECADES and I’m supposed to follow speech etiquette from someone who describes themselves as “queer techie scum” in their bio? Nope. Not happening. Like I said, we’ll still be here organizing once you come around. Have a lovely day! 🌸

we've always been here and we'll always be here

Calling Cleve Jones a liar is quite an eyebrow raising accusation given his many years of human rights work & it requires compelling evidence. The facts about Trans March & politicians historically are quite clear. Via The BAR’s Cynthia Laird & first Trans March organizer, Gabriel Haaland.

Pioneer LGBTQ+ rights stalwart Cleve Jones, who has endorsed Connie Chan, spoke up about San Francisco Pride weekend events involving the heckling of Scott Wiener over Gaza. Jones made it clear via Facebook that “politicians are not welcome at the Trans March and never have been.”

“we did the unthinkable and asked an actual trans person who organized the first Trans March to weigh in on Wiener's little snit fit” Via: Marke B.-Co-founder, arts ed. @48hills.bsky.social & co-owner The Stud nightclub

From a queer San Fran elder & community/labor organizer: Politicians like Weiner know they’ll get booed at Trans March. But why did SFPD show overwhelming force at the event? “This isn’t a new phenomenon …Mayor Lurie got chased off last year. Mayor Ed Lee got chased off. Even Mark Leno was booed.”

“unwavering support for the trans community”

Scott Wiener “returns” after spending the previous day doing nonstop media and STILL saying nothing about SFPD attacking his own constituents

Back in the '90s Steve Poltz & local artists made my hometown not only bearable but magical. They shaped my worldview in ways that serve me well. A few years ago Steve had a stroke onstage. He recovered, decided to get sober & came back. That's resilience worth celebrating. May we all Shine On. ☀️

Thinking today about how profoundly this song shaped the particular group of friends around me growing up. Still rings true after all of these years!

Isabelle is a big fan of Twitter File’s Michael Shellenberger. Michael Bloomberg wrote a glowing review of her book, Rad Future, that mentions Shellenberger.

She’s not even a little bit afraid of the neighbor’s dogs.

Meta thinks none of us have object permanence.

“To suggest it’s a disincentive to investment to require companies to follow Australian law is disingenuous.” “It’s time these companies stopped riding roughshod over the Australian public, respect our laws and pay their fair share.”

My internal dialogue (cat included).

Look who visited my garden this arvo! Always a thrill. The rain has softened the ageing swamp banksia flower spikes, so these two yellow-tailed black-cockatoos were hoeing into them. (Male: pink eye-ring, grey beak; female: grey eye-ring, whitish beak.) 🪶 #wildoz

They have wonder twin powers but I’m not sure if they are aware or notice it. ☀️

Love and solidarity with you all!

She’s just a little bread loaf! Can’t believe she’s 12 years old. I love her so much!
