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.

All I’m saying is The Powerpuff girls are made from sugar, spice, and everything nice plus some random ass chemical X and nobody tells them they’re not allowed to use the ladies bathroom. They’re biologically a sentient breakfast cereal but SURE act like I’m the problem.

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

Anyway inclusive language could be, depending on context, something like “people who could get pregnant,” or hell even “birthing parents” would be less weird. Idk I’m not a fan of “birthing” but I can’t think of another good descriptor. “Mothers and other carrying parents” maybe.

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!
DONATE VIA LINK IN BIO.
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.
Donate now!

I don’t even think “single issue” is correct framing tbh. Trans rights encompass issues of bodily autonomy, government censorship, and minority scapegoating. My single issue is human rights for myself and my trans siblings; that’s a big fuckin umbrella of a single issue.

“We can’t control who the party nominates or whether bigots will vote blue, but maybe we can bully a minority within our party to vote against their interests because the alternative would be worse.” Defeatist-ass attitude. Stop fighting us. Fight for us and with us or get out of the way.

Thank you for getting it. I can’t tell you how much it means to have an ally speaking up clearly and unreservedly like this. If I were forced back into the life I had before, I may as well be dead—and many of us will be. Not exaggeration, not hyperbole, just a fact.

I know why. It’s because they’re scared, and it’s a hell of a lot easier to berate a persecuted minority than it is to push back against a powerful system. It lets them maintain a feeling of self-righteousness and a sense of control they wouldn’t have if they aimed their ire up instead of down.

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.
