here's a pic of the Iowa State Fair from a few years ago that I found online and am posting randomly for no real reason

There's still time to grab yourself some props from a Leverage episode:

Dear Media. Vatican II wasn’t just about praying or not in Latin. *Vatican II decided to be less antisemitic. By a lot. * And now Pope Leo (like Francis) is reading the Bible HARD, all that “love immigrants” & “care for others” “🖕 Empire” stuff?! This story is not complicated.

You have never laughed as hard as the Washington Post reporter who wrote this sentence.

Finally delivering this sweatshirt tomorrow. It's their birthday. They're getting a haircut and pizza. ❤️ I asked what else they wanted, and they said Mountain Dew Baja Blast and nail polish, I'm also including some cash. If you want to send a few $, DM me. Let's make their birthday special!

My auction donation is up on the @romancingthevote.com website! I’m offering to make a custom blanket with bidder’s choice of size, weight, and fabrics. I love making weighted blankets, so bid on this and give me an excuse to make another one!

oh shit they all got signed!! here’s some good trans legislative news for once

If you’ve been squeamish about the word genocide to describe what our government wants to and is doing to trans people, (a) you were wrong and (b) it’s time to get over it. I don’t care who you are or what your deal is, you do, actually, have to put everything you can behind fighting this.

Real talk I hope Vince Gilligan and David Duchovny know how many suicides they prevented with these two lines of dialogue

Very thankful for this letter to Becky Pepper-Jackson (the 16 year-old trans girl SCOTUS ruled against yesterday) from James Dale, a gay man whose expulsion from the Boy Scouts was upheld by the Supreme Court in 2000.

Take it from this Haitian American: YES, the Red Cross steals. Yes they do. The Venezuelans need more help than I do, tbh. Give if you can, share if you can't

i have a modest proposal for the dems: pander to the left for one calendar year. for one year, just court your base. talk about every issue from the pov of the center left to the far left. give no space to the gop. deride their positions as out of touch and extreme. never mention bipartisan.

psa for cis folks: every single "legitimate concern" about trans people (bathrooms, sports, blockers, etc) is a made up astroturf by the far right. if you buy into any of it, you are an utter chump and a useful idiot for racist pedophiles

This is bone-chilling. A conservative hedge fund manager wants to require little girls to pass genital inspections for their “safety.” And it’s only for girls’ sports. There’s a clear link between transphobia and child sexual abuse.

every single one of these priests has a terminal case of Resting White Supremacist Face

The Metsiest Mets up that ever Metsed. Beautiful.

this is mean of me but honestly at this point i hope this bullshit completely destroys cisgender youth sports participation too. fuck you, nobody gets it now. enjoy your genital tests or whatever

This is a #SpreadLove thread. I put out little pride flags around our front planter last year. Our neighborhood doesn't *do* this, only really Halloween and Christmas decorations. I got a nice note from the people in the rental across the street that they felt safe and welcome. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

I was maybe in 1st or 2nd grade at the time, but it really stuck with me; and ever since, I always find it reassuring to see turban-wearers out and about. This post is turban-positive, but it is not about turbans. Wear your shirts. Put stickers on your car. Put signs in your yard. (2)

"It's just sports," "It will only affect a few people," & "It'll also be used against cis women" are, IMHO, all equally not-great takes on today's SCOTUS ruling, just different angles. The Supreme Court ruled it's okay to discriminate against a certain class of people. Full stop. That is a horror.

It was just last week that Ken Paxton was a big advocate of IVF. “I am a strong supporter of IVF and pro-family policies," the Texas Senate GOP nominee told HuffPost. Now he's suddenly walking that back, calling for "restrictions." www.huffpost.com/entry/ken-pa...

Weird how this never applies to the Second Amendment.

If you are trans and are raising money for your own needs, post the link below and I will share. If you are cis, choose one to donate to and share this thread.

Whisper those five little words every girl wants to hear (I got this, you rest)

All the politicians talking about birthright citizenship and not about trans people need to fix their hearts. Y'all can make more than one post, you know. It's (still) legal.

This month's bonus episode is about the humiliating decline of The Washington Post, which has culminated in the launch of a podcast that is worse than you could possibly imagine.

Once again, @repdelbene.bsky.social sides with Big Tech, voting for the KIDS Act. She wants Big Tech to further invade your privacy and run rampant with AI under the guise of "protecting children." We need real privacy protections, strict AI regulations, & tech monopolies need to be broken up.

Please, @governorferguson.bsky.social, tell Washington's trans people that you've got their backs. They really need you to be firm about this, please.

This is truly #SpreadLove

Thinking about @katelynburns.com for @theflytrapmedia.com: 'On the field, it was just me, the ball, and my opponents, and I was free of all the gender shit that clogged my brain the rest of the day.' Trans women and girls just want to play sports. That's all.

I hope all the journalists who have told me they can't quite about trans issues because it's too messy or not mainstream or they don't have enough researchers or they're a white cis man reporter and it's not their purview...I hope you all understand you are partially responsible for this.

This country was one person's vote away this morning from putting any birthright citizen in danger of being deported tomorrow. We are so much closer to the abyss than we think. Man oh man.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

Fuck every single Democrat that has ever been willing to compromise on trans dignity, rights and humanity. I hope you assholes are pleased with yourselves. I don’t know if you could’ve prevented this moment, but you should’ve been fighting every step of the way.

if you're trans, you have to live. one day you can live to see these guys all die.

I haven't said much the past few days because the surgery sapped all my energy, but I still have a GFM going. I'm on unpaid leave and rent's due. I'm so incredibly grateful to everyone who's helped spread the word; I'd be more incredibly gratefuller if you could do it some more: gofund.me/932c3330a

This is an Especial Pride #SpreadLove (Thank you, @georgepenney.bsky.social, it sounds like lots of good was done!
