In Germany, learning the Holocaust is mandatory. Concentration camps, museums, and memorials stand as reminders of the atrocities that occurred. They didn’t rewrite history because the truth is ugly. That's because that’s what you do when you're focused on making sure it doesn't happen again.

I had the chance to escape the conference for a few hours to go to Snoqualmie Falls with a friend. It was a filming location for Twin Peaks, which is one of my all-time favorites.

I’m at a conference and my brother is watching my cats. He sends photo updates. I just thought you might enjoy this one of my boy, Lennon. #leggies

Sweet Evening Breeze, or "Miss Sweets," was a black trans woman in Lexington, KY who was openly trans at least as early as the 30's. She worked as a hospital orderly for over 40 years. In the 60's, she was arrested for "dressing as the opposite sex," but convinced a judge to overturn the ordinance.

I use a laundry service for multiple reasons and it’s great, but my cat’s favorite blankey is missing so now I’m chatting with customer support at 11:30 pm.

Happy Juneteenth! ✨

If you benefit from the white supremacy of this country and are able, today’s a good day to offer some reparation$ directly to those who need it most. (Also tomorrow and the day after etc.)

In addition to working from where you are to dismantle these systems once and for all.

My brother sent this photo of two of my three cats, Ziggy and Lennon, achieving perfect balance.

You know why I'm posting this.

It's Pride Month and I've seen so much anti LGBT shit on Twitter.

Support trans people. Support queer people. Be here for us.

I appreciate any platform that appreciates non-human family members. This is Ziggy. She’s named after Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust.
