An LGBTQ+ pride flag formatted in the layout of the SMPTE "color bars" test pattern used for broadcast television. The first set of columns use the colors of the gay pride flag, with the addition of the original SMPTE color on the final column. The second set of columns contains two pride flags - the pansexual flag horizontally, and the asexual flag flipped and horizontal. The final set of columns contains the three colors of the transgender flag and the two POC-inclusive colors, followed by the original bar gradient from the SMPTE ECR-1-1978 pattern.

since it's the last day of pride month I figured I'd at least make one thing for it...

i now unveil to you my greatest invention:
color bars pride flag

I like drawing cute things with threatening auras, and maybe also threatening things with cute auras. More to come as I peer pressure myself into making more art and letting people see it

Urgent: Act Now to Save IMLS NOW is the time to speak up for museums!  On March 14, President Trump issued an Executive Order (EO), Continuing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, directing further cuts to the Instit…

Just now

@montereybayaquarium.org, along with 23 @aquariumconserv.bsky.social colleagues, are calling on leaders in Congress to support the Institute of Museum and Library Services (#IMLS) – the latest important federal agency to face elimination. Reach out now: mbayaq.co/420mWnX

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

I'm not particularly religious, but I pray you're right.

FAFO in trans colours

I've been getting a lot of messages from bots lately, so I set allow messages to no one. If you want to chat, @ me and prove you're human (and not trying to sell me something)

Stop writing “rolls back DEI initiatives” and start writing “begins resegregation efforts” challenge

This is beyond screwed up. All these firings, the elimination of DEI. Confiscation of passports and identity documents. This shit had to be in the works for months.
If this is my last ever post, remember I love you all.

FYI they WILL confiscate your documentation if you are trans and apply for a passport in the US.

People need to start writing history books for the future. As in, chronicling what is happening now and putting it into actual books, on paper, and hiding those books in basements or something.

Sometimes we interact with someone whose personality meshes with ours like a protein to a receptor site.

For good or ill, they profoundly change the course of our life.

I guess at the end of the day it truly doesn't matter how people see me, or what I look like. As long as I know what I am.

I'm less concerned about my body, particularly the parts very few people see. I'm concerned about interacting with the world, and others as a woman would. The changes I want to make to my body are the ones that will cue people to treat me the way I need.
My goal is social more than physical.

I'm going to start posting here as well as the F site - if I want more engagement I need to take the first move!

I'm curious how other trans women define the success of their transitions. I'm afraid I'm doing it wrong. 1/2

It's kinda distressing that she got 226K likes. I used to think the Harry Potter franchise was an entertaining story. Now as others have said it's permanently ruined for me.

Let's make this clear: My mom's test results for nearly two years indicated possible cancer, but neither she nor her doctors knew this because of a private agreement between her insurer and pathologists to occasionally lie about abnormal or ambiguous test results and falsely report them as normal.

I am convinced that some people have had their memory of 2016-2021 wiped. That’s the only explanation for this. WERE YOU IN A COMA??? Were you off planet? Did you fall into a hole and go camping under a rock? Did you miss all the pardons Trump approved??

But apparently her mental illness is mine

I have no sanity left to question. But the Unicorn approves.

It's all tied together and don't let them trick you into thinking it's for safety
