Ten years ago, my spouse and I made our spiritual union legal in the eyes of the government, though our commitment to each other was already bound.
Happy spookyversary, my dearest love 🧡 Here's to an eternity more!

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

7 million people took to the streets across the nation to protest in defense of our democracy.
This country belongs to the people. We will fight for it with everything we've got.

From 2021-2025, our partner @penamerica.bsky.social documented 22,810 instances of books banned in US public schools.
Despite the alarming number, there's hope: in 80% of the districts in PEN's index, communities had mobilized to #UniteAgainstBookBans.
