Trans rights are human rights

An illustration of David Lynch portraying the character Gordon Cole in Twin Peaks Season 3 on top of a background of black and white chevrons. Around him are the words FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE, a variation on a larger exchange in the show spoken with the transgender character Denise Bryson: "When you became Denise I told all of your colleagues, those clown comics, to fix their hearts or die." The image is colored in white, pink, and blue to reflect the trans flag.

NOW we lose Tim Curry, too‽ NOOOoooo! — Coulrophobia [KOL-ruh-FO-bee-yuh] (n.) - An abnormal or exaggerated fear of clowns. Example Sentence: “From that evening forward, Johnnie suffered from what the school counselor, with professional detachment, labeled acute coulrophobia.”

FORGIVENESS
by Maria Popova

May the tide
never tire of its tender toil
how over and over
it forgives the Moon
the daily exile
and returns to turn
mountains into sand
as if to say,
you too can have
this homecoming
you too possess
this elemental power
of turning
the stone in the heart
into golden dust.
