wore my Trans Rights Are Human Rights shirt while traveling today and coincidentally saw a dad in a Trans Kids Belong in Sports tee on my second flightβ€”we only exchanged a nod but mentally it felt like that meme of the buff arms clasping hands in solidarity

godspeed, comrade, wherever you are 🫑

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

I've written up a brief script for anyone who wants to call or write your representatives regarding this bill (yes, even the ones you think won't care). PLEASE DO THIS IF YOU ARE ABLE. This bill *cannot* pass.

You can find your representatives here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

A simple house shape is filled to the brim with flowers and plants. Inside a girl with dark pigtails and a brown hound dog are playing around among them. The puppy lies on the stem of a bellflower so his best friend can wear hold it above her head like a cool hat. The text above in a blue purple ink reads "Keep Minnesota Housed!" Below the house in gold ink reads "adopt a rent or donate". Below that "KeepMNhoused.com".

A field of wildflowers and butterflies with a few bumblebees. The text reads, β€œThey think of people as pests to be driven out and crushed. But diversity is what makes a garden thrive.”

A group of different sizes and shapes of lit candles. The text reads, β€œthey think kindness and empathy are a weakness. But it has kept communities warm from the biting cold for centuries.”

Different protest signs, fist raised and the Minnesota flag. Some of the signs read:
ICE OUT. Badges don’t excuse brutality. Compassion is not a crime. Chinga la migra. Immigrants make America great.

The text below reads, β€œThey think our fear and their cruelty will force us into compliance. They are wrong.”

Against the starry space, a group of folks from different walks of life and culture hold hands around the Earth. The text reads, β€œWe will be a fellowship that protects our neighbors and works towards a world that shares its goodwill with one another.”

Things are still scary and uncertain here in Minnesota but the community is strong and so is our love

a somewhat blurry phone photo taken through an icy window, showing a car covered in a tall layer of snow with the snow around it as tall as its door handles. you can barely see a tree and shed in the background.

My elementary, middle and high schools were all hit, and I don't really know the results of those attacks because there's not really anyone around but my parents to report it. My parents whose car windows were smashed along with the whole neighborhood. We need reporters out there.
