After years of fighting for visibility for bi+ people, we're finally seeing a major shift. There's more authentic representation than ever before. While there's always more to be done, we've made progress and that is worth celebrating.

Horrid.
JD Vance on homelessness: "I don't know why we accepted that it was reasonable to have crazy people yelling at our kids. You should not have to cross the street in downtown Atlanta to avoid a crazy person yelling at your family. Those are your streets."

I'm sadly not surprised at all.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre comes wants to make sure everyone knows he's a full blown transphobe, in case there was any doubt.
He even included a shout out to JK Rowling. This hate should be disqualifying from any politician.
"women's rights advocate" go fuck yourself

I will always remember Kathy and our wedding day, 19 years ago. On my first visit to Los Angeles, she gave me Paul Polybear, the teddy bear that is sitting next to me in bed right now. My tattoo on my left arm will always be a memory of her ("Softflame") and me ("Polybear").

When I was a boy, I could never fall asleep if a thunderstorm was happening. However, I could always sleep through a storm if I was already asleep.

I've been seeing this from the NY Times, and I'm aware that the article is written with 45-47 in mind. I'm Canadian, and right-wing families are here too. My parents have passed on, and they're not included in my thoughts, but as for the rest of my blood family, my answer is "nope, fuck you all".

My moods overall through the past year have, I believe, been improved, but depression has always stayed. I guess I can say it's morphed in many ways. A month ago my home looked terrible, recycling and garbage bags everywhere. Before Pride, one night I cleaned up a lot of what was on the floor... (1)
