This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Nelson Mandela walked to freedom 35 years today! It was a long walk indeed. I thank God for his sacrificial walk to bring liberation and freedom to all South Africans!

I am bewildered that trans people seem to be happily disposable for so many folk … we are either parsed into monsters or denied our basic dignities … this is the bleak road, the bleak bleak road and so many of us have warned about it for so long … and I hope there is still time to get off it …
