Incredibly important question
@governor.ca.gov Governor Newsom, given the abject failure of GOP transphobia tonight to get them absolutely any success whatsoever with voters, will you be reconsidering your policy of throwing transgender Californians under the bus to further your political ambitions?

Every time one of these mass murderers dies without having faced any consequence for the massacres they ordered, the lives they destroyed, the societies they razed to the ground… I realize how far we are from a world with justice. Rest in hell Dick Cheney. Your legacy is death.

Movement is a great way to deal with trauma and stress. Both of which are stored in your body where it will fester until you release it. It can be simple and calming such as yoga. Energetic and joyous such as dance. Or it can be strenuous such as martial arts, running, and weightlifting.

White people can move the needle if they want. Y'all got Jimmy Kimmel back on the air boycotting, you can throw some of that expendable income to support the vulnerable through mutual aid, you can make some moves against fascism instead of performatively bemoaning what you think doesn't affect you.

It's a #MinCup25 side quest thread!
I went to the @smithsonianmag.bsky.social Museum of Natural History to scope out some of our contenders and will add to this thread until my ADHD runs out or someone tells me to stop!
