It's kind of staggering how much of human endeavor--food, building, art, communication, clothing--is due to making something wet and then drying it out.

This thread does a great job of succinctly and plainly laying out how badly and how quickly trans rights have *eroded*. It's not that trans people are making unreasonable demands, it's that we're raising the hue and cry about how rapidly things are deteriorating.

No candidate, regardless of party, will ever get my vote if they call me a "biological man" and advocate for laws targeting my community. Its that simple.

the trans community’s demand is eminently reasonable: “democrats need to treat trans people as equal partners in their political coalition or trans people will not be partners at all.” so, democrats: do you want to win or not?

hi, cis folks! the GOP put the all-ages trans medicaid ban back in the budget, despite it being struck. they did it to force dems to challenge it on the floor. if you've been paying attention, you know dems need to hear you want them to actually stand up to the GOP. contact info at reps.fyi 🧵

Rep. Dan Crenshaw tweets

GOOD NEWS: after the rogue parliamentarian struck my amendment to ban taxpayer funding for transgender treatments, Republican
Senators put it BACK in the bill anyway. This means they are daring the Democrats to
vote against it in a "point of order." It's a good bet to take. For one thing, nothing to lose so why not try? But second, I believe the Democrats won't want to pick this battle. This is a very very popular provision. I think the Democrats know they've lost the battle. The science isn't on their side and neither is the public.

Today proper, peer-reviewed studies were published showing that there's no negative consequence on long-term sexual health on using puberty blockers in trans youth, and that removing access to puberty blockers harms trans youth. No surprises on either count.

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively. Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

I don't have anything profound or cute to say. Sometimes, it's just as simple as having a good day and not being subtle about being queer.

A woman leaning on a fence rail in front of trees blossoming along a river bank. She's in black sandals, black cutoff denim shorts, a white tank top with a bodyguard green viper wrapped around her torso, bearing it's fangs threateningly across her chest. She's wearing oversize black sunglasses in octagonal frames, and a black ball cap with "Helltown" stitched across the front, and twists of blonde hair framing her face. She also has a black leather shoulder bag at her left side, with several leather bag charms, and a black paisley bandana tied around the bag strap.

Overall, the look is extremely queer coded, which is absolutely the point of the fit.

Trans rights are human rights, and being sapphic is an utter delight.

Love to see Boston celebrating its history.

A picture at night looking at the old Boston statehouse, a three story colonial red brick building with a large steeple, and the sure of the Boston Massacre. The steeple top is white.

As part of the commemoration of Paul Revere's ride, a light projection on the building showed quotes from contemporary writings. The image shows the phrase "Let the warning ride forth once more: tyranny is at our door"
