Elijah is an absolute legend for getting this classic for his first tattoo! Done at Pema Tattoo in Pocketbook Hudson 💦 #tattoosky #tattooapprentice #queertattooer
Photo of a fresh tattoo of the classic Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes) pissing vinyl decal done on Elijah’s upper back, under the right shoulder blade.

Elijah is lying on a pink sheet and the reference image is beside him to the right.

That was always part of the plan, I think. Democrats need better messaging and a strong commitment to meaningful change. They need to communicate that this will not happen overnight but also have to take meaningful action in order to keep constituents on their side for the long haul.

My partner’s been getting all of our turtle rescues this year! I’m equal parts thrilled for him and jealous I have not had any 🥲

Folks, this is a reminder that boycotting the NYT includes refusing to hate-share articles of theirs where they platform bad takes from transphobic politicians. Even clicking gift links gives them revenue. You do not need to angrily share their bs. In fact, it is actively *harmful* to do so.

I really appreciate Kat’s analysis here (even down to bringing up Nobuhiro Watsuki and ‘Rurouni Kenshin’… oof, another one that hit me hard when the news broke 😣) The existence of myself and my trans siblings should be more important to you than ANY franchise, even one you grew up loving.

The antifascist position is supporting people's rights without wavering. The minute you go, "well, but trans kids in sports?" or "oh, no, I didn't mean deport all immigrants, just the bad ones", you're gone. It's done. You've conceded.

No matter how much you throw trans people under the bus, you are still going to get attacked. All you've done is betray a vulnerable minority, anger your base, and made the issue front and center.

I had this for the first time in Wassaic, NY. I had no idea it was from Baltimore! As an Aperol lover, I actually really enjoyed it and thought it was fun and not pretentious. Perfect paired with a good pizza!

I was just having this conversation with my sister who just turned 32 on Monday but from my experience, 30s are so much better than your 20s. Anyone who says high school or college are the ‘golden years’ either peaked too early or are insanely boring to be around.

Yeah, @nia.covn.io uses Proton Mail… been thinking about moving over to that too. I know he’s definitely noted the slowness on there too. It takes a bit for things to show up in their Inbox/Outbox

I think it depends a bit on if you’re looking for someone who is confident tattooing over scars vs more of a permanent makeup situation.
