First trans people, now bisexuals: Stonewall website further erases LGBTQ+ history The National Park Service, under the Trump administration, has erased mentions of bisexual people from the Stonewall National Monument website.

One more step.

@litlfrog.bsky.social, I believe this may be of mutual interest.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear β€œgrants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

β€œPausing” grants means people don’t eat.

I mentioned on the Facebook post about this, too - the folk song The Piper's Refrain is about Duncan and includes some (though not all) of the details of the legend discussed in the episode.

Greg Lake - I Believe in Father Christmas (2017  Remaster)
YouTube video by Music & Art Greg Lake - I Believe in Father Christmas (2017 Remaster)

They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a silent night
They told me a fairy story
'Til I believed in the Israelite

And I believed in father Christmas
I looked to the sky with excited eyes
Then I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

Yeah, that's a thing for sure and very maddening.

Politics-wise it's really hard to tell what the repercussions will be and how to fight it.

OTOH, we can see that a lot of fascists feel empowered to be more open about who they are due to the election and we can do something about that right now.

I had a Twitter account but never made heavy use of it so still getting up to speed here.

Can anyone recommend some good follows for news/current events/political action, etc.?
