Had a terrible day
But I did have some really awesome people looking out for me and I decided to treat myself to a new game to make up for it

Hopefully tomorrow will be better!

I have been screaming about these as soon as I found out about them and I have been telling every one I know would love them.

Please, please check these fantastic books out (and of course, support the authors)!

It's my boy's birthday! I've never had a pet that I've known the birth date of before and it always made me a little sad

So yes, we bought him a mini doggy cupcake so he can feel included

A social media post recounts a story about helping an older lady with limited English, reflecting on how having pink hair signaled trustworthiness and individuality.

Things are Terrible, but this isn't.

Be weird.

ITV News: BBC to air Would I Lie To You Boxing Day episode featuring David Walliams

ITV News: BBC to air Would I Lie To You Boxing Day episode featuring David Walliams

So, just to confirm, the BBC can’t keep Robin Ince on the air because his trans allyship brings the organisation into disrepute, but they can keep David Walliams, who performed Nazi salutes at the recording of this very show, on the air despite him being predatory towards women. Cool. Very normal.

While Amazon is investing billions of dollars to expand AI, independent bookstores are hosting community events, personally recommending books to readers, and providing a space that is safe and welcoming during a time when we need them most.

Never underestimate the power of a local bookstore.

Perfect screenshot. Worf as a focal point is already killer, then your eyes travel to Data in the friar haircut and you think "this can't possibly get any better," and then there's the finishing blow of Geordi in his space visor plucking a lute

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

Being Queer in a visibly queer business is not always fun

Sometimes it's seeing people who hate crimed you earlier in the year and hoping they don't come in

Sappho's Cafe & Community Space Sappho's is a new cafe and community space for the LGBTQ+ community and their allies. A place for community, creativity, and local heritage.

Hi All! There's a lovely new queer space opening near us that needs some help with funding. We know times are tough, so if you're able to help, please do. If you can't, don't worry! Sharing and letting others know is helpful too!

I have a feeling if I ever meet Chuck Tingle, I'll vibrate so hard with nervousness that my bones will just disintegrate

Like, he's not scary

I am just a weenie and can't talk to people I think are cool and it is a ✨️problem✨️

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them.

The current climate is especially accelerating this.

Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves.
Let's all join hands and change the world🫢🌏🫢

I'm so tired of this puritanical bullshit.
Sex is healthy, sex fantasies are healthy, fiction is healthy.

I wish people would stop conflating BDSM and fiction with assault.
People have fantasies about power. That's normal!

Exploring feeling via stories is what humans do!

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.
