What's the last car you stopped to take a picture of?
White commercial van parked on the curb and absolutely covered in cherry petals (it was the end of cherry blossom season; there is no cherry tree in the photo)

Can't pick a specific verse to quote, I'll just drop all the non-repeated lyrics
Streetlight, pick a fight with a stranger I've been saving up my anger Stacking up like pennies in my pocket Whistle like a runaway train, and I lost it Good girls die young, don't you know they got 'em All lined up with names on their coffins Mary Beth died with stars in her eyes I've been runnin' from her ghost all my life, oh Ooh, ooh, ah, I hear them crying, crying Good girls, good girls Broken pieces under the rug A thesis of all I've loved Reeling in the aftermath I wish that you could take it back Burnin' in my lungs again The taste of your carcinogen Every breath, a feelin' I'm gettin' good at healin' Ooh, ooh, ah, I hear them crying, crying Good girls, good girls Don't waste your time on me I followed your liturgy I'm takin' back my offering The blood I bleed, my eulogy You buried me, and now I'm singin'

A page from Special Topics In Parenting, graphic novel by S Bear Bergman. "Our youngest was seven when someone asked him, do you know what drugs are? Yes, he replied promptly, while eating a freezie. Meth is the scariest drug. Some drugs your doctor gives you, but some you buy for yourself. And you should only do new drugs with old friends. And some people who have to live outside because they don't have money for a house need them because it's really hard to live outside."

It's been more than a year since I first saw The Third Sex by @adamjrineer.bsky.social & co, but I cannot stop thinking about the ridiculous nerd who goes to a magazine stand, asks for a gay mag, is handed a copy of Die Insel (pictured), flips through... then goes back and complains (1/2)
cover of Die Insel January 1931. Pictured are four above-the-belt nudes of pretty young men.

@bradlander.bsky.social came and waved a rainbow flag at us while we were lined up waiting to march in the Brooklyn Pride Parade! He's the only politician I saw there in person this year, it was endearing.
mayoral candidate Brad Lander wearing a purple shirt and holding a large rainbow flag. He's behind a black truck and next to a person wearing a blue fursuit.

Group of 12+ cyclists in a bike lane, stopped at a red light (technically light has turned green, but the way is blocked by a school bus). Shot centered on a first-grade child on a white bike, wearing a large pink and blue backpack

I loved how this point was made in the book *Fair Play* by Katie Barnes (they/them, sports journalist)
> To date there has not been a single known transgender woman who came out publicly in high school and received a scholarship to compete on a collegiate woman's team. But even though that hasn't happened yet, at some point it will. One goal of transgender inclusion advocates is for that future to happen, while those who advocate against trans inclusion policies would like that future to become impossible.

This reminds me of weimar-project.page/ddg02/04-the... , which I read a couple years ago: an account by a trans and/or intersex man who lived in Weimar Germany and tried to change his documents then.
Now A. wanted to go abroad. In order to get the necessary passport, he needed to change his birth certificate. And that was the crux of the matter! As the last deciding authority, the district court of his place of birth (province) made the whole effort illusory — thanks to a blessed provincial folly! The reasons for rejection can only elicit a sympathetic smile from an enlightened person. It says, among other things, “the law knows two types of sex, namely male and female, hybrids are out of the question. Sex must be determined and indicated immediately after birth, later changes are not permitted.” So the body has already made itself a criminal offense by changing itself without first asking. According to an entry in the registry office his body has become a forgery in flesh and blood! It would therefore be best if the female organs that were left behind were arrested and proceedings initiated against them for unfair competition or false pretenses, while the male body would be charged with identity theft. So one can come to the conclusion that it is the most useless thing in the world to achieve something legally that is outside traditional frameworks. For example, if A. obtained a false passport, that is, he left all piety behind and cast off his reputation, then he could still earn his living honestly abroad today without having to worry about it. But for the sake of his family, he wanted to go the straight path, which, as his example shows, despite him being a taxpayer like everyone else, was led through distress and poverty. It is so limitlessly easy to kill a person from the desk of a bureaucracy. They live and exist in paragraphs and you don’t even need to think about the consequences of such a decision.

Checkpoint
hand-drawn flyer reads "SPRING IS HERE!" (photo of crocus buds) "WE MADE IT" flyer is wet, creased, torn halfway at the top. beads of rain form on the tape at the top and bottom securing the flyer to a metal pole. streaks and shadows cover the surface of the pole (there's also a sticker under the flyer reading "24 HRS LOCKSMITH" with a phone number). very blurry background: zebra crossing, two cars, a sidewalk.

Tumblr post by nitewrighter Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.
