Absolutely obsessed with this late 19th century illustration of the Orion Nebula by Otto Boeddicker.

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence. This is a campaign of eradication. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/rcna...

Fuck Gavin Newsom. I’m so sick of people jettisoning trans people from their platforms to court bigots to their side. #transequalitynow #transrightsarehumanrights #transwomenarewomen

The amount Musk and Trump are boasting about regarding federally funded research aimed at studying health outcomes in transgender people (the $8 million)? Just out of the research grant budget for the U.S., it would be the equivalent of if you had a $10,000 budget and spent 86 cents on something.

I just spoke to a rep from Bernie Moreno’s office who told me, “Medicaid is not getting cut, anyone who needs Medicaid will get it” but when I asked where the $880 billion tax cut was coming from he just repeated the quote to me like a parrot over and over again Call your senators Demand a town hall

I mean, are we just numb to the insanity ? The president of the United States yesterday called for arresting American students protesting at campuses (they pay to attend) 😂

The official White House account posted this.

Watched Sugarcane tonight. The atrocities committed against indigenous children by the Catholic Church is entirely revolting, and the lack of accountability and justice too. Required watching. The struggle is intersectional, no one is free until we are all free from white supremacy.

Just finished The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman. I love these characters and the world and their stories, the pacing is just a bit slow for my taste. 2.75 ⭐️ #booksky 🌈📚 #witchsky

We are here and we’re not going anywhere. Our queer forbearers were beat and arrested and harassed and murdered by cops and citizens alike, we won’t go back. #transnews #trans #lgbtq #marshapjohnson

“Trans people are not invisible. Trans people deserve love. The queer community deserves to be lifted up. Music is love, thank you.” — Lady Gaga while accepting Best Pop Duo Performance at the #GRAMMYs

🚨 Lady Gaga premieres the ‘Abracadabra’ music video during a #GRAMMYs  commercial break.

🌈📚 I am reading a lot right now, but the book that I’m currently reading isn’t so much escapist as literary historical/contemporary fiction, and I find that it’s not helping as much. How do y’all find the mental space to read literary fiction and escape at the same time? #booksky #currentlyreading

Rwandan-backed M23 rebels say they are now in control of the key eastern Congolese city of Goma. Their fighters continue to claim more territory in one of the world's most mineral-rich territories.

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

On trying to make it as a trans girl of color in the heart of the empire. As a queer person who experienced homelessness for 6 mos in my early twenties and had few resources during those years to help me survive + loads of trauma, I relate hard. #lgbtq #trans #america #empire 🌈📚

Oh my god. It was amazing! I can’t wait for the next one. I’ll be reliving this book in my mind for a while! I can’t wait talk about this book with someone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #fourthwing #onyxstorm #booktok #booksky 🌈📚

How can you sanction a country you can't even spell.

Go to theaters, support the arts. Music and art is also resistance

I’m tired of living in unprecedented times.

It costs taxpayers over $30k/year to criminalize a single person suffering from homelessness, & only $10,000 to provide shelter. Why do you think the gov doesn’t pick the more financially sound option? #socialcontrol #fascism #homelessness #lgbtq #classwar

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.

I want to be clear about where we stand with the EO: The battlefield is now revealed. We know the pieces on it and their plans. It doesn't mean its lost or immediate. But Trump has fired his first shot. Implementation will take time and challenges are sure to come. Stay strong, its a marathon.

Speak out about this heinous, bigoted, harmful law. Resist. We must stand together in community against this vitriol. #transrightsarehumanrights #transequalitynow #allyship #community #lgbtq

The newly inaugurated president has announced his intention to terminate U.S. membership in the U.N.'s global health agency.

You are ALWAYS safe with me and my family. Always.

There is no war in Ba Sing Se 😅

From signing executive orders, to Elon Musk's gesture on stage, to President Biden's pardons, I breakdown all of the news from today that you may have missed. It's going to be a long four years, buckle up. aaronparnas.substack.com/p/evening-ne...

Good morning, resisters Have a great Monday

Elon just did a sieg heil during his speech.

We gotta be louder/brighter/bigger/gayer/tougher/bolder than ever. We gotta defend & protect one another in public spaces online and in person. We gotta feel out the parts of ourselves that are the most non-conformist and expand into them, get cozy in them.

Remember, y’all: We are only sharing MLK quotes today that make people uncomfortable. Palatable Martin is retired until at least 2029.

I am not a man. Evan Urquhart is not a woman. No matter what Trump's government said. So much of what Trump wants to do targeting trans people will depend on cisgender people to enforce his policies and police our bodies and spaces we exist in. So much can be stopped by people refusing to do so.

Maybe the weirdest-looking fungi in these parts are Helvella lacunosa/elfin saddles. Why I love them is their stipe (you know I love stipes!), sometimes, like this one, they almost look like a pen-and-ink illustration. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

It took way too long, but so happy Leonard Peltier is going to be free. Not a lot I would thank biden for, but this is one. 🕊️🕊️🕊️⛓️‍💥⛓️‍💥🕊️🕊️🕊️ #landback #aim #indigisky #abolition #colonialism #imperialism

Good morning! Happy MLK Day. "Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope." ~MLK Be that stone.🙂
