A sleepy orange kitty all delicately curled up on a soft grey blanket. At some point he will awaken and resume yowling to be fed. What can we say, the man's consistent!

Yes, fully dressed for pride includes a negative covid test and an n95 mask. Part of community is protecting each other!
Selfie of a cute white genderqueer person standing in their bedroom. They are holding a negative covid test in their teeth and grinning. They are also wearing bright green glasses, spectacular rainbow eye makeup, and a t-shirt that reads "not gay as im happy, queer as in fuck the police". They are wearing black lipstick even though it will be covered by their mask, because they are not an amateur. A cute white genderqueer person on a decently crowded green line train. They have a trans pride flag stuck in their purse strap and a progress pride flag in their hatband. They are wearing bright green glasses, amazing rainbow eye makeup, and a white n95 mask.

New skirt by @mayakern.com, new Chuck Taylors by Converse, old belltower by Old North.
A cute white nonbinary person perched in the Belfry of Old North Church. They are wearing black and green glasses, a white N95 mask, a yellow shirt with an arty graphic, and bright yellow ear protectors resting around their neck. Their new skirt is black with a golden pattern of honeybees in hexagons. Their new shoes are bright orange from this angle (it's hard to see the insect pattern overlay and the dark green trim).

It's kinda cool that you're can just pick up a pencil and make art and you can just practice and fuck around and do whatever you'd like! I drew a dog!
Pencil sketches. Top left is a busty woman in glasses with good hair (labeled "Bethity Beth"), top right is a mushroom and faerie, and most of the bottom is dominated by a creature labeled "dog". The dog has eight legs, small bear ears, and kindof a turtle shell situation? It also has pincers. It's a good dog, bront.

Reading a book published in 1989 and having some pretty complicated feelings (no spoilers please, I've not read it before)
Text from the Terry Pratchett book "Guards! Guards!". Relevant text reads: "But you can help me!" he said. "There may be a way to destroy the dragon, d'you see, or at least we can help people, channel things to mitigate the worst of it, somehow find a meeting point--" Vimes's blow caught Wonse on the cheek and spun him around. "The dragon's _here_," he snapped. "You can't channel it or persuade it or negotiate with it. There's no truce with dragons. You brought it here and we're stuck with it, you _bastard_." Text from the Terry Pratchett novel "Guards! Guards!". Relevant text reads: The silence purred as Wonse talked. They avoided one another's faces, for fear of what they might see mirrored there. Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest, and then I'll murmur agreement, not actually _say_ anything, I'm not as stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard... Text from the novel "Guards! Guards!" by Terry Pratchett. The relevant part reads: The Supreme Grand Master smiled in the depths of his robe. It was amazing, this mystic business. You tell them a lie, and then when you don't need it anymore you tell them another lie and tell them they're progressing along the road to wisdom. Then instead of laughing they follow you even more, hoping that at the heart of all the lies they'll find the truth. And bit by bit they accept the unacceptable. Amazing.

That was a hell of a good time! Thanks Somerville Theatre and the Boston IFF for putting up Stop Making Sense, it was a delight to watch all those dorks rock out hard (and all us dorks groove along with them!)

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! I learned that this was my 11th pint at MGH since I started donating with them in 2020. From my very rough googling, I think this means I have now given away _my entire volume of blood_
A cute white nonbinary person in a blood donation chair. You can see a tourniquet around their upper arm, but n further paraphernalia. They are wearing green glasses, a pink "STEM-inist" t-shirt, and a white n95 aura mask. Their long brown hair is loose over their shoulder.

A cunning disguise. (Hey @kugelblitz00.bsky.social)
Spartakians are aliens who have come to this planet to gain control over the beings who live here. Their most common guise appears to be an upright orange cone --see how they guide traffic and pedestrians to move carefully around them! Already their plans are working! This one has a yellow "caution: wet floor" sign overtop of it, but you can still see the bottom of its cone peeping out. It shan't fool me! I would take it prisoner, but there's also a lot of water on the floor and I don't want it to realize I'm on to its nefarious plans.

I don't think it's gonna be 24 hours door-to-door on this trip, but it's already been about 18. Still to come: plane, bus, light rail, walk

Scroll to "is this helpful" take 500 characters to scream.
Why doesn't this page have a single instance of the word "transgender"? Why does it not mention or celebrate thr trans women who threw the first bricks to help get ALL queer people their rights? The fascist patriarchy thinks all queer folk are filth, why are we helping them by trying to divide ourselves from...(Continued in next image) (continued from previous image) The fascist patriarchy thinks all queer people are filth, why are we helping them by trying to divide ourselves from our most vulnerable members rather than speaking out together and celebrating the strength and power from ALL of us? Trans Rights are Human Rights and y'all means ALL!

The Sorcyress is well identifiable by their stunning green or orange plumage!
A close up of Sam's original crowd shot, with Sam in the bottom corner and looking out to the crowd. I have been circled in green, and am indeed wearing a bright green t-shirt and white n95 mask so I'm easy to recognize!

I mean, @seananmcguire.bsky.social's enthusiasm already had me excited to try this book, but I am immediately in love with this content warning without even beginning the story yet. (From "How To Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying")
A content warning about various potentially triggering parts of the book. I have highlighted the bit that says "This book contains frank discussions of sexual assault. (No characters are assaulted)."

Monday was the lazy con day, and clothes I could travel home in. Especially given how cold the outdoors were, I was dressing here primarily for warmth, rather than beauty (I am still extremely cute though)
Close-up of a white nonbinary person showing off their t-shirt and earrings. Their t-shirt is blue and has an image of a door with three bananas and an orange lined up to knock. (If you ask me to explain, I will make you do the entire joke). They are wearing bright yellow and shiny acrylic earrings shaped like cicada wings. They're also wearing bright green glasses, a white n95 aura mask, and an orange flannel and white labcoat open over their t-shirt A cute white nonbinary person posing casually in front of the hotel mirror. They are wearing layered shirts (black longsleeves undershirt which comes over their hands, blue t-shirt, orange flannel, white labcoat) and brown skinny jeans. They have mismatched orange and green chuck taylor shoes. Very astute viewers will note the colours are opposite from the last time I said that.

For dancing late Suneve, I changed into this outfit which was a *great* choice. Barefoot in wrap pants over a tucked-in tank top was extremely good dance clothes, very flexible and movement friendly!
Makeup and jewelry closeup! Mirror selfie of a white nonbinary person from the chest up. They're wearing a red glass heart necklace (shaped like the organ, not the symbol), blue-green-white-yellow beaded earrings that drape down to brush their shoulders, a white n95 aura mask, bright green glasses with rhinestones along the stems, and extremely wild and vivid rainbow eyeshadow, moving from purple at their nose out to red towards their ears A cute white nonbinary person posing in a mirror. They are wearing a rainbow tank top with pine trees on it (and eyeshadow to match!), brown wrap pants, mismatched green and orange chuck taylor shoes, and a very swoopy brown coat. Tired, late-night, post dancing mirror selfie of a cute white nonbinary person. It was taken in the mirror by the elevators. They're just wearing their tanktop, glasses, mask, and wrap pants. Their rainbow eye makeup is a little smudged but still vibrant. They've taken out their earrings, but they are still wearing the glass heart necklace. Their bag is open and you can see it's full of sketchbooks and things to read.

Finishing out the weekend! Here's the first half of Sunday, for stiltwalking and working masquerade and going to a renaissance ball

In this economy?!", bright green glasses, a round metal necklace, neon green and orange earrings reading "THEY" and "THEM", and a white n95 aura mask. Their eye makeup is green and bright pink.

There were pride flag options as well, but THAT ORANGE was so good!
