these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

U.S. Park Service Strikes Transgender References From Stonewall Website The “T” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights. Later, the Q+ also disappeared.

Erasing our history won't erase us.

Transgender people have always been here — and we always will be.

I’m still here

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

What the fuck?

"Excerpt from an article published by The Intercept. The text discusses policies around allowing disparaging remarks about transgender individuals, including children. It mentions that the term 'tranny' is no longer considered a slur and provides examples of speech that should no longer be removed, such as statements using derogatory language against transgender individuals in various contexts."

Meta is fundamentally evil company that deserves to be wiped off the face of the planet.

I keep thinking about this. It’s just so disturbing that someone at Facebook is getting paid to brainstorm approved slurs against queer folks and immigrants and put them in a neat list to circulate. It’s their JOB

Leaked Meta Rules: Users Are Free to Post “Mexican Immigrants Are Trash!” or “Trans People Are Immoral” Facebook now allows attacks on immigrants and trans people, and posts like “Mexican immigrants are trash!” and “I’m a proud racist.”

NEW: I've obtained internal Meta docs revealing an array of sample posts that are now allowed under new hate speech rules. Examples include calling children "trannies," “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians," and “immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit”

I love the silly season 🥰

Congress Has Become a Waiting Room for Heaven Who says our senior leaders have to be senior citizens?

I wrote about how Congress has turned into a senior center.

How many AOCs are never elected because 80-year-olds refuse to step down?

How many young lawmakers don’t acquire leadership roles — and miss out on years of experience — because seniority is prized above anything else?

It’s outrageous the State Government are continuing with their failed negotiation tactic with Sydney Trains staff. Just pay them and we can all enjoy our summer.

When did my boyfriend start modelling like this

Agree!!!

I love my top 100 playlist for 2024, I just went from rewind to the wizard and I

ABC (Disney), Washington Post (Bezos), Meta (Zuckerberg), LA Times (Soon-Shiong)... all bending the knee to Trump, all obeying in advance, all sucking up to the Dictator-in-Waiting.

This is (part of) how democracies die. This is the Orban, Putin, Netanyahu and Modi playbooks.

Good evening gays of Bluesky

I cannot get what is this feeling out of my head it is on REPEAT

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

I believe they’re holding space over on wicked.com

Merrick Garland has been a disaster for our country.

Shame on him for allowing Trump to never face consequences for the largest attack ever on our democracy.

Good afternoon dads 👋🏼

I’m holding space for the lyrics of throat goat

Still can’t get over how many people on the right voluntarily went to bat for Matt Gaetz despite allegations of sex trafficking of a minor. Not only was it for nothing since the AG nomination failed… but now you’re forever on record advocating for an alleged statutory rapist.

Cannot begin to describe how phenomenal #Wicked is, exceeds the hype 😭💚🩷

Toitū Te Tiriti 🖤🤍❤️

With y'all in spirit today at the hikoi #toitutetiriti #akeakeake 🖤🤍❤️

It was honestly so packed I couldn't even get in. The level of pride I have for everyone who came together to show true unity. This was historic and a moment our city will never forget. #toitutetiriti #maori

Better late than never 😉

Bitch I’m so glad to have you back on my timeline

Incredibly proud to be part of a dedicated team that has put together a phenomenal 2025 Mardi Gras programme - against all odds. To celebrate that last Thursday with everyone who helped make it a reality - our team, partners, icons, and community - was a true joy.
