Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

Today begins the annual campaign for QT Library, a Boston-based queer and trans library I’m honored to volunteer with. Spaces that support queer stories and queer communities are as vital now as they’ve ever been, and it would mean so much if you’d help us to re-resource and grow 📚🌱🏳️⚧️

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.
