There are people in the world who say that there are only two genders: male and female. But the heart and soul have much more personality. It's very sad that people who can't accept this sometimes utter very harsh words. You were born to live freely. Chiitan is an ally of transgender people🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Shaggy's "Wasn't me". I think mostly because my older sibling played it too many times when I was ~10 and *very* uninterested and uncomfortable about sex

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.

as it is particularly cold in Minneapolis and we hear scary rumors, I want to highlight a few groups. MIWRC is operating a warming facility to make sure unhoused people are not on the street, especially during the hours traditional shelters are closed. www.miwrc.org/donate

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.
A forlorn landscape of layered rocks in the foreground, with hills fading into the background haze. At upper top right, a small crescent moon, and a bright star.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

I'm seeing fewer posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation, and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them and losing them money. Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of. ⬇️
