I followed the US Dept of Labor on here last year when it was posting useful pro-worker info and education. It’s so sad to see the account coopted into just another mouthpiece for the administration’s white supremacist, fascist rhetoric.

I love can label design. I hope businesses continue commissioning real artists, because it’s such a fun little sub-genre of art and design.

This article just chilled me to my bones, immediately after leaving a show on a country-wide, 50 state, all-trans comedy tour, where I got to do a guest set in front of a very queer audience. It was beautiful. Please read this article, because we need to understand what's happening in DC,

If you're wondering why people are going in hard against Newsom, it's to give you the most notice possible. They are telling you in 2025 that a Newsom run in 2028 will fail. This is information. If your response to this information is to wail about purity tests, you are not prepared for the moment

Consultants are obsessed with reminding candidates not to talk about trans people or include us in any way in their campaigns, never mind using awkward-ass linguistic constructions like this, meanwhile my reps have never once mentioned I exist even when opposing bills that directly threaten my life.

I know we’re all passing around the same $20 at this point, but if anyone happens to have a few to spare, a fantastic local org is helping trans folks get their passports updated while we’re still able, but they’re short on the necessary funds. www.spotfund.com/story/b8ac2f...

Digital Flyer:

TRANS MARYLAND.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
In the first 36 hours we filled ALL 80 of our passport fee assistance slots!
But we only raised 10K (1/2 the needed funds). Please help us close the gap for the other 40 indivuduals!

Digital flyer:

• FUNDRAISER : for trans passport
FEES.
As of June 17, 2025, a nationwide injunction has halted Trump's passport restrictions, giving trans people the right to obtain accurate and affirming passports.
We don't know how long this door will be open.
Trans Maryland is raising $20,000
to fully fund passport updates for 80 trans Marylanders.
We're racing against time.
Help us seize this opportunity.

Lmao they turned it into an ugly-ass cafeteria and branded it accordingly

Interior photo of the remodeled Cracker Barrel in Mount Juliet, Tennessee store as posted by the company on Instagram. It looks somehow both blandly empty and cramped. The design is flat and beige, the only points of interest being some deliberately haphazard wall decor. And the lack of any upholstery means just breathing probably echoes.

Side-by-side of the old and new Cracker Barrel logos. The old one features an illustration of a guy leaning on a barrel and the name in brown against a yellow blob shape. The new one just has the name in dull black against a squashed yellow hexagon, utterly unremarkable.

if you havent made any calls, or shipped any letters or sent any emails yet, and you feel like its "too late": dont. its not too late. now is literally a perfect time to start joining in and contacting legislators and paypros in whatever way works best for you. its a marathon, not a race!

Having a script explaining your reasons is neat but it’s not necessary. Mostly it’s a numbers game, and just saying “I’m a constituent at [zip code] and I oppose [bill]” is literally all you really need!

personally i go to 5calls because they make it really easy to see your reps' numbers, and yeah if you go to voicemail you can literally just say 'i'm a constituent at X and i'm going to list off a bunch of bills i want [rep] to oppose' and then you list it. you can do that if you get a person too

for those of you that have somehow made it this long without ever calling: you literally just have to list the bills. you don't have to give a reason. if you get a person, they won't ask you why. if you get a voicemail, just say your address at the beginning. it took me less than 5 minutes to call 3

Here's a thread about how trans people can approach remaining informed of the news in a way that prioritizes pragmatism, self-care, and building resistance. It's based on what I'm doing personally. So, fyi, I'm more anxious than usual, but holding up substantially.

I know that there is a lot of panic, and I feel it too. But I continually remind myself: My panic serves the people who want to harm me. I am here. I am safe. I am doing my best to plan for my own survival and be of service my community. And then I calm down and get back to it.

OK, so you're taking in news relevant to your survival, you're making practical plans rather than panicking, you're doing your best to stay grounded. Next: What does your community need? How can you support and be supported? National news is useless here. Set it aside. Be there for other people.

I incorporate a decent amount of mindfulness and grounding in my day to day. I feel my feet on the ground or my butt in my seat. I slow down and focus just on making dinner or just doing dishes. I remind myself that I am here, I am not off floating in panic and headlines. It helps quite a bit.

If you are safe, remind yourself that you are safe. If you're scared of things that might happen, remind yourself they haven't happened. Make plans, to the best of your ability, but don't forget that you're here, you're okay, you are surviving and you intend to continue.

I would also like to point out that the gay rights movement has always been heavily supported by trans people, despite the fact that we’ve been treated as pariahs by its leaders, and its success has been due in no small part to trans activists.

Trans people are worth protecting. Not because we are amazing people (although we are) or because we offer a great deal to society (although we do) or because we are fine as hell (we are). We are worth protecting because we are HUMAN BEINGS, and it’s amazing how often that simple fact is forgotten.

What this means in practice is that 14K trans people will have to quit their federal employee jobs and find jobs that cover gender affirming care. In other words, this is a purge of trans people from the civil service. Lavender scare. Everyone who participates is responsible
