Hi everyone! After four incredible years serving as the President of Riverside LGBTQ Pride, it’s finally time for me to pass the torch! (Unlike the Supreme Court, we do have term limits here at RivPride! 😂—two consecutive two-year terms).

They are standing in front of a booth decorated with various Pride flags and colorful streamers, with mountains visible in the distance.

I know you're trying to move from Gmail, but I find its automatic "Promotions" folder really helpful because I simply don't look at it LOL

Earning the trust of a rescue dog is a slow process, but when you see any bit of progress, it's so rewarding. We got kisses today and Mocha came close to me when I sat on the floor, even got a little bit of tail wag!
A medium shot of a dog resting on a dark-colored couch, holding a green toy bone-shaped item. The dog is positioned centrally in the image, lying on its side. Its body is a mix of brown and black fur, with some white markings. The dog has a red collar with a metal chain, and a small, tag is on the collar. The dog appears relaxed and is holding a green, plush, bone-shaped toy, resting on its paws. The setting is a living room, with a dark-colored couch as the primary focus. The lighting is ambient, casting no significant shadows on the dog or the couch. The couch and chair has some minor wear and tear. The image is a candid shot, capturing a moment of interaction between the dog and the toy. The artistic style is straightforward, focusing on the subject's details without elaborate composition or special effects. The image exhibits a simple, naturalistic representation of the dog, couch, and toy. The overall mood is casual and relaxed, reflecting a domestic setting. The image provides a glimpse into a simple, daily moment of a dog interacting with its toy in its home environment.

The image features a dialogue between Denmark PM Mette Frederiksen and Trump. The top half shows Mette Frederiksen making a joke, asking, "Wanna hear a joke?" to which Trump responds with a simple "Sure." She follows with "Greenland," which he finds confusing, replying, "I don't get it." In the bottom half, Mette Frederiksen, responds, "And you'll never will."

We cannot let ourselves be muzzled or terrified.
The first step in a fascist movement is the combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity. The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other.

Just discussed with a coworker about this. It's almost the first anniversary of one of our pets' passing. The hole she left behind is still the same. It's just that we can handle it better every time she visits our hearts.

We miss you, Pixel ❤️
The image presents a poignant visual metaphor about coping with grief. It features a series of illustrations depicting jars of varying sizes, each containing a solid black ball. 1. **First Jar**: The ball is large within a small jar, symbolizing the overwhelming nature of grief at the outset. The accompanying text states, "People tend to believe that grief shrinks over time." 2. **Second Jar**: The ball remains the same size but is now placed in a larger jar, suggesting that while the intensity of grief may not decrease, our experiences and capacity to cope expand. 3. **Third Jar**: This continues with larger jars, illustrating the process of adaptation over time. 4. **Final Message**: The text concludes with, "What really happens is that we grow around our grief," reinforcing the idea that although grief may not diminish, personal growth and acceptance evolve alongside it. Overall, the image conveys a comforting message about the enduring nature of grief and the resilience of the human spirit. In this cozy domestic scene, a small dog, likely a Beagle mix, is comfortably resting inside a soft, brown pet bed. The dog has a short, tan and white coat, with expressive dark eyes and a gentle demeanor. Its ears are floppy, adding to its charm as it reclines with its front paws extended outside the bed. In the background, another larger dog can be seen curled up on a patterned rug, showcasing the homey atmosphere. The floor is tiled, contributing to the overall warmth of the setting, while a partially visible blanket drapes casually nearby. This image captures the essence of pet comfort and companionship.

We made a post to ask our community for 2025 LGBTQ+ Pride events feedback and this is the first comment we got.

Thanks, I hate it. More than ever, we need to be visible. Unite and gather as a community.

Trans Day of Remembrance last night with Trans Health and Wellness Center and Riverside Pride 🕯️ We say their names. Their lives mattered.
Am sitting audience with a speaker behind a podium up front. A projection screen behind the speaker shows a grouping of candles. Trans Health and Wellness banners, which are pink, flank the speaker.

A great thing about joining a new platform is to share old things! Found this drawing by one of our amazingly talented friends, for my Dragonborn Bard in a #dnd campaign I ran years ago. His name is Rhogar Nightspring. I'm so in love with it.
A red-scaled Dragonborn of Dungeons & Dragons setting, he's sitting on a rock, playing a lute, with a slightly amused expression.

Good day, #TeamPete! Going through some pics and found this of me at my first very Pete event. Featuring my homemade rally sign 😅 I can't believe this was just five years ago. So thankful for the lifelong friends I made from organizing for Pete 💖
