I called & left a message not just for my reps but for every rep in my state asking them to do something about all of the atrocities unfolding right now. I’m going to start doing this weekly until things change.

We have a federal book banning bill introduced in Congress. The bill cites articles from Compass Classroom, a homeschooling resource site that has "Teach your kids to think Biblically about the world" right on their homepage.

This is completely unacceptable. We need to hold every single politician behind this accountable. Impeach, remove, imprison in the US & idk but do whatever the Israeli version of that is too.

Let’s get some nice progressive people in office in both spaces. Ones that are anti-racism/colonialism plz.

Good to know Israel & Trump/GOP are prioritizing (checks notes) murdering elementary(primary) school girls.

The fucked up thing is they’re going to try to excuse slaughtering innocent children with β€œoh they hid WMDs under the school, that was the real target, so it’s unfortunate collateral damage”

πŸ’― it just progressively continues to get worse and I’m so over it. We need to raze the system and start over without the systemic racism and colonialism baked into the cracks and bones.

I pull her down slightly so her forehead is resting on mine & quietly guide her through the breathing exercises my therapist taught me.
They’re working & she’s πŸ˜…. β€œOhmigod stop being so perfect, I’m going to fall in love with you,” she murmurs blushing.
β€œNever, I’m pretty lovable,”

It should be absolutely clear to everyone by this point that there is no "reasonable concerns" in the anti-trans campaign.

It has one goal - make anti-trans hostility so baked-in to our society that they hound every trans person underground or out of the country.

That is what we are fighting.

Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks.

Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.

Tropes and arrows for Pending by Rebecca Frost. The background is a light blue sky with whisky clouds and a slight rainbow. White arrows point to: secret identities; the one that got away; skeleton in the closet; unreliable narrator; found family; and cozy serial killer fiction. These surround the book cover. It shows the front of an apartment building in shades of blue with three rows of windows. All but two windows are dark. The middle top window has a lamp shining yellow on a silhouette as he writes something down. The middle right window is fully lit with a silhouette of a woman looking off toward the edge of the cover. Art by Amara Lynn.
