This #TransAwarenessWeek, we honor every trans and nonbinary person who speaks up, takes up space, and reminds us visibility is powerful, language matters, and knowing who you are has no age limit. Your story, your voice, and your identity deserve to be seen and celebrated — today and every day.

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward. "We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social

An illustration of Miss Major surrounded by candles with blue background and a famous quote of hers written in gold. The quote reads“I don’t need their permission to exist; I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

Hey all! I will be volunteering to help Pride in the Pride (Salem, Oregon) run smoothly this year. I will also be selling my homemade bracelets at the Crafty Coyotes’ booth. Go check out their other queers’ homemade goods and grab some delicious mochi cakes from Mochi Mayhem! Hope you can attend!🩷🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

It’s been awhile since I was able to have a fun trip to Portland, and I finally got to go to Hopscotch. It was really fun; my favorite exhibit was the Matrix.

Leon standing in front of a wall mural called “We Are All One” by Winston the Whale. The wall is a white background with rainbow lines and shapes.

Leon in a pit of transparent balls that are being lit in various colors, an immersive exhibit called Deep Eddy Ball Pit. In the picture, the pit is lit colors of blue, green, teal, orange, purple.

I made a new #Pride flag for Seahorse Dads. Seahorse dads are pregnant trans men or trans men who have previously given birth. As far as I can tell, there's no specific flag for us yet. I borrowed the colors from the Gay/MLM and Trans flags. I hope you like it 🥰

I picked this up at my local library, "Affirmations for Queer People" by Jess Vosseteig. A very needed read, perfect for Pride month, and I love the illustrations. If you are able, I highly recommend that you take a read! #book #literature #booksky #queer #trans #lgbtq+ #lgbtqai+ #pridemonth

Book with a rainbow above clouds and sparkles titled "AFFIRMATIONS FOR QUEER (in rainbow coloring) PEOPLE: 100+ Positive Messages to Affirm, Empower, and Inspire" by Jess Vosseteig

A page from the book, pg. 27. Pinkish/red checkered pattern background with leaves on stems and sparkle over a green squiggly rectangle with text within the header "I have a loving and supportive community always by my side." Followed by text that reads, "Queer individuals are part of a beautiful, diverse, and expansive community that offers love and support. Use this affirmation to remind yourself that you are never alone. Let the love and support of the Queer community lift you up when others bring you down. Say it before bed or in the morning to start your day with love and support."

A page from the book, pg. 30-31. Light orange/orange checkered background with a queer person with short brown hair with tattoos on arms, wearing a red crop tank top with black binder, green shorts, holding a long rainbow pride flag with black wording that reads, "BEING QUEER GIVES ME STRENGTH"
