A sensational twist to a classic fairytale!

Remember during pride you are also reading diversely! This means reading across the lgbtqia+ spectrum, this means reading bipoc authors, this also means reading non fiction stories. Because our history is so important of the fight we are still fighting 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🖤🤎

Guillory delivers a spectacular sapphic romance brimming with heart, heat, and the enduring power of friendship. This is the kind of book you’ll want to hug as you read. Thanks to its exquisite writing, vibrant characters, and electric chemistry. #booksky #booklight

Today we recognize & honor trans lives & stories. But today we recognize as the a day of visibility, we must do this everyday for our siblings. We fight for their right to exist & be happy and live just as freely & fairly as anyone else. We see you, we honor you, we love you, we fight for you always

Social Security isn't sending checks to dead people over 120. Tariffs aren't beautiful, but they are raising prices on groceries, beer, and cars. Elon Musk is taking away veterans' healthcare and childcare for families. Presidents are supposed to be truth-tellers, not liars.

Real question.. if the trump admin is gutting so many programs, why the fuck are we paying federal taxes? State taxes I understand paying… but if you’re planning to disbanding the IRS, use tax payers dollars to fund Elon and all the bs he is doing, etc why should we pay?

When your government stops working for you, we the people have the right to take back our government. Do not obey in advance. Run for small government positions, do the work inside your communities, and help larger organizations. Even the smallest things help. 💙

I want to make this abundantly clear: fascism headed by tech oligarchs does not have a border. Whether you’re in a blue state or another country, it’s spreading like wildfire. Their greed is limitless. Hold your community close. We need each other now more than ever.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.
