I need yall to understand this was ICE cosplaying as the military:carrying paintball guns, real weapons, and storming an area that is a large vendor space for our community. They are attempting to scare us but they left as soon as they saw the 300 citizens wouldn’t back down. No thanks to the mayor.
People dressed up as cops sitting on horses that have blinders on in a row. They are dressed like LAPD but don’t seem to be.

Food, pick ups, first aid, jail support, active warnings, ICE lookouts, safe havens, music, dance, and tactics learned from our protesting history are being utilized.

We will fight for community, protect each other, and fight like hell to get ICE out. #losangeles
A white cement wall that said “the mayor and LAPD said LAPD wouldn’t aid federal ice agents in any way. They lied.”

Let’s keep our community safe and show nazis aren’t welcome here! West Hollywood is a historical queer safe space, spaces like these are vital—they’re where we find support, community, and strength. Stand strong against hate and keep each other safe! Mask up and bring a buddy!

#tdov today and everyday.

💕Trans loves, be soft. be gentle. Lean into each other and community. Your rage is valid. Your grief is valid. You are sacred.
🗣️cis people, do more. Don’t sit by and wait for worse things to occur.

❤️links in my bio and ways to support trans people in my stories.
A group of people gathers, holding a rainbow flag, advocating for trans visibility and community support during a protest event. The text says “A group of people gathers, holding a rainbow flag, advocating for trans visibility and community support during a protest event.” The text says “our existence is not a political debate. its a human rights one. our existence will not disappear with policies, laws, hate, genocide and we will not stand idly by as you strip us of our humanity.” With an image of Bernie sanders saying “I am once again asking you to not be compliant in the genocide of trans people.” Graphic highlighting the urgent need for advocacy against anti-trans bills, displaying statistics from 2025’s legislative actions. The text says “we need yall to help us stay alive and exist. we need yall to step up. we need yall to use your priviledge, resources, voice. we need you to protect us when verbal insults happen and step in when violence is done toward us. we nee you to advocate for us in the workplace, at home. we need yall to do more. “ A colorful collage of Skye with friends and animals. The text says “we need yall to help us stay alive and exist. we need yall to step up. we need yall to use your priviledge, resources, voice. we need you to protect us when verbal insults happen and step in when violence is done toward us. we nee you to advocate for us in the workplace, at home. we need yall to do more.”

Gov Newsom has shown again that he will align himself with the people stripping all our rights away.

Stop dehumanizing trans people.. Stand with us because they are coming for all of us.

An Aquarius in Aquarius season, in the age of Aquarius with Pluto in Aquarius. 👀 wild times.

🫂Donate to support trans people in my community. Will share as I give out funds 💕
Venmo: skyetooley and cash app is the same, too!
Person with a tattoo holds their chest with their hand, announcing a birthday fundraiser for trans siblings. Above it says “it’s my birthday and I still exist even when the government demands I shouldn’t”. Donations via Buy Me a Coffee or Venmo. Funds aid trans people in Los Angeles. Floral designs included. Text with floral border: "My goal is $400 to support trans people in need in Los Angeles. Donate via Buy Me a Coffee or Venmo @skyetooley. A graphic overlaying text on an image about supporting trans people, with a Bernie Sanders meme. The text states “to the cis people, do not preemptively comply to this administration. do not give in to the transphobia. there is nothing in law that will stop you from speaking up, being affirming, being an accomplice to trans people. there is nothing stopping you from using your priviledge to support trans people. do not sit by and let the moment of reading an inclusive book, speaking against transphobia, checking in and offering support, go by out of compliance.” Historical photo of individuals throwing books into a pile, from 1933 when the research library on sex research was destroyed in Germany. Top is a tweet that says “the Holocaust began with the genocide of trans and intersex people”

at the darkest time we find joy but
joy can feel fleeting
when a family denies your name, your words
joy can seem unobtainable when
the little reminders of Christmas past
seep in, around, and envelop
A collage made by Skye. On the left are cut out white bubbles with the words “in the darkest day we sit to reflect, release, forgive, confront, shed.” “We are left with how we have transformed, how loss has shaped us, how love has led us, how community has held us. We are left with the understanding there is a journey.” Behind the bubbles is different textured paper. On the right are the words “may we pause, see each other, see the world” in bold letters at the top. Underneath it says “see how each piece of us is interconnected, woven in time and space.” Underneath is a photo that says “admire the details”. In the corner it says “oh blessed Yule”

We hold tight to these moments.
Trans joy is beautiful. Trans existence is unerasable.
I love being trans.

This timeline we are in is wild so here’s my fluffy chaos goblins to get you through this Monday.
Two cats snuggled together on a blanket. One on the left is black and white and looking up at the sky. They have a white face and black ears. In the right corner, the second cat is gray with a white line to their nose and is curled up with their eyes closed.
