Steven Tyler doing "Come Together" in Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the movie (playing on TV). It took me years to identify where that memory came from, because it's not like people were watching that movie or even acknowledging its existence.

Why is it that the "good times make men weak" evangelists never point out that billionaires clearly must be the softest motherfuckers around?

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.

Never forget that we still exist not only within the lifetime of Ruby Bridges, but the lifetimes of many who yelled hate at a little girl trying to go to school. We must stand for Ruby and those like her today who face that ongoing hate.

The inclusion of Sanderson as an example of literature that is “disappearing” made me snort. “There isn’t enough Sanderson” is not a serious statement made by serious people.

On the 5th August, the EHRC's Code of Practice becomes statutory guidance. It will make life even harder for many trans & non-binary people. It's unworkable & harmful. The Good Law Project is challenging & wants to hear from people affected by these exclusions. goodlawproject.org/discriminato...

Just had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2

Just woke up to find out Lindsey Graham is dead?? lol??? Most of you know him as the homophobic senator from South Carolina but to me he will always be the man who paid a twinky pre-transition college student ( ) a fat
stack of cash to do unspeakable things to him in a hotel room while he wore red lingerie

It is a canon trans event to have far right freaks bankrolling you & then turning around and voting against you. People loooooove to judge us for it but I never see them opening their wallets!!! Shoutout to s*x workers everywhere forced to humanize their enemies just to make rent.It is an absolute mindfvck too me that one of the reasons I have any semblance of financial security (& a lack of student loans) is because of this man.

At the time I had no idea who he was, and I only figured it out because another group of twinks leaked Lady G to the media. Some queers tried to grandstand critique this, saying we shouldn't "out" people. I believe bigots with power deserve no peace or privacy, especially when they hold public office. I'm glad they did it. Icons, forever.

Anyway, if you've ever enjoyed what I do on the internet know that it is in part because of Lindsey's generous donation over a decade ago. If I've ever sent you $ for something know that was kickstarted by the now deceased sissy senator from South Carolina.Lindsey, rest in hell for what you did to our community.

I will continue to love queer and trans people harder than you ever hated us. You loved every second of our time together and now everyone knows
