As a food and beverage industry worker, I can testify that it's hard work that often does not pay a livable wage, though it should. There's no reason this society needs to rely on a poverty wage class. In fact that weakens our society.

PLEASE use the FSN hotline to report immigration enforcement activity, rather than just posting online.
ICIRR has a network of volunteers across the region who go out and verify FSN reports, record details about the agencies responding and their tactics, and document violations of people's rights.

I made this cartoon with @nononathaniel.bsky.social after celebrating Pride last week. It's a hard time for all of us but especially for the youth. If I can say one thing, it's this: You will outlast him. You will get the last word, the last laugh, the last cry.

Dear #NcutiGatwa, in just two seasons of #DrWho, you have done so much. You helped us remember to play, even in hard times. You showed us how to love, even those who don't love us back. And you taught us what it looks like to shine so bright that everyone around you lights up a little more, too.

MAGA Are Losing It Over a Black Woman Statue in Times Square
A new sculpture just dropped in Times Square, and MAGA Twitter is acting like it’s the fall of Rome. The piece in question is a 12-foot bronze statue of a young Black woman by figurative artist Thomas J. Price. It isn’t abstract or provocative in any traditional sense—just a woman, standing still, present. Standing. Looking like someone who just got off a night shift and still has groceries to pick up.

A cisgender autistic woman who is generally so law abiding she once performed a citizen’s arrest on herself for jaywalking will not acknowledge any evil transphobic legislation, it has been confirmed....
