If I can keep even one father from dying in despair, believing he'd failed the thing that mattered most to him--

If I can give just one child the chance to give their father the gift of a happy child--

How can I possibly not?

Nobody should ever die believing what Dad believed. Ever.

8/8

Discovering I was trans was the greatest blessing of my life. A simple explanation for a sense of wrongness I'd felt so long I thought that wrongness was me.

I credit the trans community for bringing society to the point where I could understand what was wrong and get help.

Every trans person who insists on being seen is a living map for those still finding their way.

Forgot to add alt text! It's a screenshot of this excerpt from a USA today article: “God Bless America!” Bad Bunny yelled, followed by his namechecking other countries as a multitude of flags from around the world followed him through the field for the closing “Debi Tirar Mas Fotos

Dear @usatoday.com , Bad Bunny did NOT list "other" countries after saying "God Bless America" - he SPECIFIED that America includes all those countries, from Chile to Canada!!

I want 12 more hours of Bad Bunny! That was SPECTACULAR!

Bad Bunny painted a musical portrait of his island, and put indigenous musicians on the global hot mic

Your friendly reminder that chatgpt is not google and does not in fact know anything

Art is resistance. Keep making it! ✨

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

GO PLAY TETRIS.
Then get back out there.

Anywho, the main truth I know is that there's ALWAYS something that can be done. Always. You just have to find the things you can do.

We do not get out of fascism by saving ourselves and turning our backs on others. We get out through solidarity with everyone—especially the most vulnerable.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

*Everyone has stories like this*

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?
