The TransAmerica pyramid

Just a gorgeous day. Gonna ask strangers about how to get to the naval base in Alameda.

Star Trek IV the One with the Whales scene. We're on the streets of San Francisco in the 80s. Scotty, Uhura, Chekov, and Spock are on the sidewalk. Kirk is standing in the street arguing with the driver of a car who looks like he had to stop because Kirk got in his way. Car guy has his arm up & out the window in the air giving the international sign for "WTF are you doing!?" Kurt, conversely, has that "AYYYY, IM WALKIN' HERE" kind of face. (Also Spock is in a bathrobe) Closed caption reads, "Well, a double dumb-ass on you!"

Cover for The Other A in LGBTQIA+: an Introduction to the Aromantic Community, in Our Own Words. By AUREA (the Aromantic-spectrum Union for Recognition, Education, and Advocacy). The cover is a stylized "A" in the colors of the aromantic flag.

"This is Fine" Meme of the dog sitting at a table with a cup of coffee, while the house is on-fire. The caption has been changed to "I Have a Book Coming Out"

The world is on fire, and I am a coauthor of a new book on #aromanticism. I am very proud to be a part of this, but also 90% of my brain space is about the ongoing ICE occupation.

Orlando Torres wasn't shot, but he lives with PTSD. Interviews he's given include these (major trigger warning):

Days after: www.latimes.com/nation/la-na...

Years later: www.news.com.au/world/north-...

This article badly downplays Orlando Torres's experience in the Pulse mass shooting. It says he "survived the shooting by hiding in a restroom for hours"— no, he *tried* to hide but was found and held hostage for 3 and a half hours by the barricaded gunman.

(The Advocate didn't speak to him.)

Hey all! Remember Mac the doggo who got a second lease on life?

He has been sick and his new fam needs help.

Signal boosting is good. I know everyone is struggling so there is zero pressure. Help the bestest family keep the bestest boy around.

Female #kakapo are utterly focussed on their chicks. Stella came back to the nest while I was checking her very young chicks two nights ago. Apparently unconcerned by me being there, she jumped in and started brooding them in front of me. #conservation #parrots #birds #kakapo2026

Technically, that word would be “faaaaaaake.”

Am lesbian, but when he turned around and took off his suspenders/braces and shirt? WOW.

No, Yes is on first.

Over black background is patterned illustration of white umbrellas. Large, bold, neon green all caps font reads, "SEX WORKER RIGHTS ARE:" Below this is list of all caps text in purple, pink orange, yellow, teal, and blue reading, "LABOR RIGHTS | REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS | BODILY AUTONOMY RIGHTS | DISABILITY RIGHTS | RACIAL AND GENDER JUSTICE RIGHTS | TRANS RIGHTS". Smaller neon green text below this reads, "and so much more." At right is hot pink high heel icon, smaller purple heel icon at left. Over black box in bottom right corner is NHRC black and white + rainbow 30th anniversary logo.

🧵Everyone has a human right to safety, & #WorkShouldBeSafe — full stop. On #InternationalSexWorkerRightsDay & every day, we're reminded that the criminalization of sex work allows a culture of violence, harassment, lack of #WorkerProtections, & disregard of human rights to thrive. Sex workers...

(Image description: A man in a GI's helmet and a shepherd girl dress directs an artillery battery to fire upon a target off in the distance. Two other men, also in frilly frocks, push the barrel of the battery around to face the target.) Christmastime, 1940. All's quiet on the shore--until the sirens go off and a flurry of men run to the Mk. VII mounted on the battery. As photojournalist John Topham would later write, "‘Jerry’, like Time, waits for no one". Thing was, whichever Jerry would have been on the scope for the Nazis must have been mighty confused that day....because, as sure the devil was the fascist's witness, he must have sworn he was looking down the glass at a squad of shepherd girls in bonnets aiming the turret in the seconds before the shrapnel pierced his skull.

The 1940s were not a good time to be gay, and an even less stellar time to be trans. But we were there; on variety show stages, on the front lines, and strapped into the cockpit of the bombers.

I hope some people will have various rights expanded by this time next year instead of all the rollbacks. Gonna see if SWs I used to follow elsewhere have migrated here; so far, I just know of one of the dommes and one of the journalists.

Sex work is work and sex worker rights are human rights ✊

This International Sex Worker Rights Day, I'm missing friendships and other relationships I had with sex workers. Since COVID began, I've fallen out of touch and lost track of the current state of their rights *as* sex workers (unlike what's going on for those who're trans or immigrants).

The thread this came from is wild already but the alt text?!
