The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment.

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

Bad news, I have been diagnosed with B-cell non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Obviously shit is scary for me right now but if you would like to support my treatments and recovery, I made a GoFundMe link!

I plan to start my first treatment in the next couple of days.

The framing of gay being okay because it’s not a choice isn’t my favorite framing because in my gay opinion I don’t think it matters whether it’s a choice. There’s just simply nothing wrong with it

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

Today is Trans Day of Visibility. At a time when the administration is doing everything in its power to erase trans folks, it is even more important to uplift, appreciate, respect, and celebrate our trans siblings.
I see you.
I appreciate you.
I respect you.
I celebrate you.
I love you.

Das ist für mich das furchtbarste Foto der Welt (unter so vielen furchtbaren Fotos): ein kleines Kind pflückt eine Blume und gibt sie einem anderen Kind.
Minuten später werden sie alle vergast.

Das Foto ist von 1944 aus dem Vernichtungslager Auschwitz-Birkenau.

80 years ago Auschwitz was liberated. More than one million children, women and men were murdered there as part of the Holocaust. A dark lesson of history; humanity owes it to each of the victims to ensure it will never happen again. #HolocaustMemorialDay

the thing about “trans women are women” is that if you truly believe that — and you should — then you will become horrified beyond measure at what we as a society are willing to put young girls through, just because they are trans

it’s not just a statement of fact; it’s a recognition of brutality
