Today is Trans Day of Remembrance(TDOR)
No one should be attacked or killed for who they are. We should all work to create a world that is safe for everyone to express themselves and their identity whatever it may be. Being an ally is important.
Mourn the dead and flight like hell for the living.

If your response to reading this article is "haha, you got what you deserved!" and not heartbreak at what this family is going through, then do me a favor and take a long look in the mirror and try and fix yourself. Nobody deserves this.

If they say a reason to travel is to gain new stories. Then this trip is already a success. I am 20 minutes in and there has already been a case of mistaken identity and a taxi driver that forgot to pick me up.

I walked through downtown Portland, Oregon last week and didn’t see anything burning.
Trump: "I look the other night, Saturday night, Portland is burning to the ground and these people are saying it's just friendly stuff. The whole place is burning to the ground. So we'll take care of that one. That's like an insurrection more than it is anything else. Portland is crazy."

For the first time in more than 100 years, Chinook salmon have been spotted at the confluence of the Sprague and Williamson rivers in Chiloquin, the government seat of the Klamath Tribes in Southern Oregon.
Salmon clear last Klamath dams, reaching Williamson and Sprague rivers
Just a year after four dams were removed, a group of fall Chinook have migrated nearly 300 miles into the Upper Klamath Basin.

Why is banning books dangerous?
Of course it's an attack on the freedom of speech, expression, and academic freedom. But let's go a bit deeper and ask ourselves, why would book banners feel the need to control speech, art, and academic freedom?

It’s been an interesting week of music for me. Saw Scene Queen with Deadlands and Girli on Tuesday, worked a show with a jazz band on Wednesday. Ran sound and lights for St. Terrible last night. Currently on the way to see Dropkick Murphys and Bad Religion tonight. #livemusic #supportmusicans

Attorney general: ‘Everyone is Welcome Here’ sign cannot be displayed in Idaho schools
The sign violates a new law that prohibits the display of flags or banners in public K-12 schools that display a political viewpoint, according to an opinion released late Friday.
