Moments of Joy β€” Daniel Chooses Love A couple of weeks ago, Russ and I went to go see the band Travis in concert. Travis is a band I’ve loved since high school. I remember the first time I heard them do a cover of Joni Mitchell’s β€œRiver”...

I keep forgetting about this app. Anyways, I wrote a blog post about moments of (queer) joy. www.danielchooseslove.com/blog/2025/2/...

I especially loved how it seemed like the straight friend was going to be understanding and compassionate when the gay guy came out. Very sweet, and ahead of its time, I think!

Shout out to @eve6.bsky.social for giving high school aged me an unrequited gay love song - β€œJet Pack” - back when I had crushes on all my straight friends. Still love that song (and that perfect album).

Existence is Resistance β€” Daniel Chooses Love I’m going to come really clean. On Saturday, when I wrote the blog post that I’m still really proud of , I was feeling strong, emboldened, and ready to get back into the fight. Then Sunday came a...

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or β€œcontroversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

A page from GALAXY: THE PRETTIEST STAR by Jadzia Axelrod, Vash Taylor and Ariana Maher, where Taylor sees her true self in the mirror for the first time.

The narration reads: I can do this.
I can do this.
I can do this.
I did it once already. I can do it again.
Don't think about what could happen.
Don't think about what people will say.
Think about what you want.
Wow.
This is me.
The jewel. It doesn't hurt.
I didn't realize how much it hurt until it stopped.

Hey y'all, remember when @deuxdel.bsky.social, @airy.bsky.social and I created a fun, powerful trans superhero in GALAXY: THE PRETTIEST STAR? And it was the first time a trans character from the Big Two was a title character? And she had a awesome girlfriend?

That was cool.

I will also add that people in Congress are not volunteers. They are being paid. They have health insurance. They have retirement. They have ONE JOBβ€”to serve their constituents. And if they cannot figure out how to push back politically they don't deserve to be in office.

The news sometimes gives you the impression that government is an unstoppable steamroller, but it’s not. The admin is trying a β€œshock and awe” because they can only win by tricking people into giving up.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are πŸ“‰
