We are studying today's judgement by the UK Supreme Court.
Nothing they rule will change our solidarity with the trans+ community and with everyone who seeks to live their lives under control of their own bodies, and free from poverty, ignorance or conformity.

We will shortly make an announcement about renewing our organisational commitment to working for the trans community. We have already started hiring. We know, and they know, that trans people are right at the cutting edge of fascism. What we can do we will do.

Even the very short break I took from social media helped give me perspective.
I know that everyone is terrified of the what will happen next in America.
It’s okay to feel fear.
It’s not a weakness.
I’m afraid too.
BUT
We will not give in.
We will not give up.
We will face this together. ❤️🎈

In our house you can't say 'ready for bed?' because the dog and cat will both lose their shit. So I have to turn to my wife and announce 'I'm leaving! Will you join me?'

I unironically use my local library a lot. Ebooks, audio books, physical books, the seed exchange, the meeting spaces?? Passport services?? Citizenship and English classes? I grew up in the teen hangout area as a housing insecure youth with a bad parent. Libraries are important, I'm pissed

My favourite part of spring is when my first batch of seeds poke their little green faces through the soil. Feels like a giant exhale. I love spring time

Live the revolution
This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.
They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.
Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.
I think about it a lot in moments like this.
