"They want you to feel powerless and to surrender and to let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving."

Good vibes are free, and if you have any on hand, it's your moral obligation to share. Besides, the factory-farmed vibes sold retail are known carcinogens.

40-Year-Old David Wojnarowicz Mural Resurfaces, Only to Be Hidden Again The stewards of the artist’s legacy hope that a work miraculously discovered in Louisville, Kentucky, now covered up by the building’s developer, can see the light of day once more.

I hope the folks involved here can rescue this David Wojnarowicz mural. hyperallergic.com/1034063/a-40...

You β€˜run the gamut’ and β€˜run the gauntlet.’

You don’t β€˜run the gambit.’

gamut = entire range or series

gauntlet = severe trial

Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy

White text on black square: β€œFor Andrea.
I am watching nearly every queer and trans person I know share about how you shaped their lives, how you gave voice to their pain and pride and discovery and angst.
I think as queers we have so many beautiful languages that we share with each other - and for many of us, there were periods when those languages were known only to us. Secret survival maps where we wondered whether we would find our way through and other people giving voice to that pain and fear increased the chances that we would.
You, Andrea, are a deep connective tissue of queer love and you live within us. May we honor your singular beauty every day. I know I will try.”

Gratitude to Debt Collective members and allies (especially ADAPT) who worked so hard to stop this lethal bill.

I wish I could say we'll live to fight another day, but the truth is not everyone will survive this monstrosity. We need to keep organizing to ensure as many folks as possible make it.

How to catch the shooting stars of spring's first meteor shower, the Lyrids Spring's first meteor shower is reaching its peak. The Lyrids have surprised skygazers in the past with as many as 100 meteors per hour, but it’s not predicted to be as active this time around.

When the Lyrid meteor shower reaches its peak, it will be spring’s first chance to see shooting stars.
