Please don't email HR@opm.gov with random photos of your meals or cats or the top 5 things you wish you accomplished today or the Constitution of the United States or the Bill of Rights. Edolf says it's for serious things only.
The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other
Mostly about/for trans folks. Allies, your bit is at the end.

Congrats you're a Dr. now.
When your BFF runs the cafe you choose for a working brunch, you get the VIP treatment.
Please don't forget us non-binary and GNC folks in your solidarity! "Siblings" instead of "brothers and sisters" signals that ALL trans lives matter. We already get left out of so much of the public rhetoric. Being excluded from statements of support, intentionally or not, has a particular sting.
My current line in the sand is this:
if you're willing to act against authoritarianism when it is knocking at your door and "doing your job" would mean falling in line but you DON'T... Then we're on the same side.
This thread shares a bunch of examples of people and orgs who are on the right side.
Given all these critical webpages are being taken down, this might be a good time to familiarize yourself with the Wayback Machine on Internet Archive. It can pull up pages that are no longer active:

TRANS PEOPLE EXIST.
Trans people exist.
We exist.

Honestly? Same. Especially around a Cancer full moon.
1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?
Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.
Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

I've been trying to figure out the essence of the color of this year's bullet journal. Vegan cheese. It's vegan cheddar cheese.
