Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

My amazing partner took the best candid photos of me I've ever seen. #candidphotos

You were gone when I was too young to understand that there are tragedies in this world even Shakespeare was too afraid to write about. #poem #shortpoem #onesentencepoem

Think we're going to like Mamdani !

I won a queer writers scholarship for my dystopian fiction novel that's been in the works since 2020!! Five years of writing and re-writing, the highs and lows of confidence, and months of writer's block I still can't believe I did it. richardcmorais.com/announcing-2...

You wrote stories in my flesh, Stole so much of me Through sex- With sex- Not sex- Too violent for words like that. -K.L.K. #poetry #shortpoem

Gang, I promise that I can think that the Texas officials were horribly criminally negligent AND that people on the left gloating over kids drowning is reprehensible. I have MAD multitasking skills like that. You don’t have to pick just one!

Emmy-winning Austin, TX based TV meteorologist on Facebook:

Our most recent episode of Life Through a #Queer Lens explores the history of the #PinkTriangle, from persecution to #pride. We go through some of the few memoirs and accounts of gay men who survived and discuss how the symbol was #reclaimed throughout the Western world. #queerhistory

I wish Democrats would fight as hard against Donald Trump as they do against Zohran Mamdani.

@ everyone shouting that we need #medialiteracy in school. We had it. It's called English class. The curtains were blue for a fucking reason🙃

June 28th, 1969, at one in the morning in Greenwich Village, the NYPD descended on the Stonewall Inn Within minutes 13 visibly #queer patrons were apprehended for "bootleg liquor." Honor every #LGBTQIA+ person from that night whose cries and bricks lay blows against the hydra of anti-queer prejudice

This is so true. 99% of book bans have the intended effect: you never hear about those books again. The 1% of banned books that become infamous bestsellers elsewhere are not the norm.

I'll take it a step further. You shouldn't be putting your hands on anyone without permission, period. #abolishice #fuckice

Early reclamation of the Pink Triangle came from the first post-war #queerrights organization in Germany Homosexuelle Aktion Westberlin (HAW). Life Through a Queer Lens's entire purpose is acknowledging the history too often swept under the rug because #LGBTQIA+ #history is #humanhistory

Vaccination schedules on the CDC website have already started changing under RFK Jr. So we published a guide to the evidence-based vaccine recommendations in place *before* all 17 members of the advisory panel were abruptly dismissed by the new admin. www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-... 🧪

You always open things and forget to close them. Now you’ve done that with me. #shortpoem #poetry #poem

Remember that time Elon said Donold is in the Epstein files on main? It was two weeks ago but it feels like two years. That’s intentional.

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

…

posting this again fuck yeah

Went to Wigstock tonight as a part of Drag Me To The Catskills with @lpres.bsky.social AND HOLY WOW ✨💐✨ #drag #dragqueens #dragisart #wigstock #dragmetothecatskills #queerart

Not to be dramatic but the phrase "don't blame malice for what can more easily be blamed on stupidity" (or whatever) will be the death of us. Sometimes that guy isn't an idiot, they're actually a cunning manipulative narcissist and being labeled an idiot is a shield.

Met a young queer at pride who gave me this temp tattoo. The kids are alright #pride

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

apparently, "die mad" has an origin story and it is GLORIOUS

Dozens of companies who sponsored Pride marches last year have pulled out this year, including: Dyson Nivea Tiffany & Co. Capital One UPS Disney DoorDash Live Nation Nissan Citi Corporate Pride was always a hoax. https://popular.info/p/pride-and-prejudice-in-corporate

I hate it here...

Happy Pride. Take a few minutes to listen to some queer voices of the past. Because queer, trans, LGBTQ+ people have always existed and will always exist. No matter what certain lawmakers in DC try to do.
