Would be a shame if someone posted an unprotected link to watch my Quantum Leap episode about trans kids in sports.

Today, we mourn the loss of Alice Wong, a trailblazer in every sense of the word. As the daughter of Hong Kong immigrants, a disability activist, and a fierce voice against colonialism, imperialism, and genocide, Alice gave voice to the interconnectedness of our collective liberation.

As an interfaith trans woman I’ve prayed for our religious communities to issue a joint statement like this. God is Love, and any individual or institution claiming to speak for God but preaching hate and discrimination is missing the mark—the *literal* definition of sin. www.uua.org/pressroom/pr...

Holiness must blossom precisely where decisions are made that affect the lives of thousands of families. The world needs entrepreneurs and leaders who, out of love for God and neighbor, work for an economy that serves the common good.

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.
Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

I want a currency that’s only available for exchange between transsexuals. I want to spend all my money at businesses owned by people with surgically transfigured sex organs. I want to be paid by and invest in an economy so exclusive you have to sever an erogenous piece of your flesh to participate.

I’m not a single issue voter, but there is nothing more important than healthcare. You can live through canceled flights, you can live through food bank lines. You will die if you can’t afford medical treatment.

you shouldn’t talk to a journalist about how people in need of abortions access them when abortions are outlawed, and this is no different.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

The transphobic messaging completely failed to help Republicans tonight. The anti-trans propaganda was a losing strategy which the GOP pushed all their chips in on, and it failed miserably. They lost every major race tonight.
