A watercolour painting of two people walking under a pride umbrella on a rainy day, viewed from behind. The person on the left has long hair with pink dye at the end, they have are wearing a trans flag as a cape. The person on the right is holding the umbrella, is dark skinned, has tight curly hair, and is wearing a bi flag as a cape. The right foot for the person with the trans flag is mid step so we can see the sole, which has the Lambda symbol on the soul. The left foot for the person with the bi flag is mid step and we can see the Queer People of Colour Pride flag on the sole. There is a reflection of their shoes and flags in the water, some of the raindrops are causing mini rainbows. The distance is grey, but rainbows are still visible.

We Keep Going

You realize that bill creates a standing army that can be set upon US citizens at will without triggering the usual repercussions, because technically it is not a branch of the military

Their intent is to intimidate, oppress, enslave, and disappear anyone and everyone they want

And they will

This was not hyperbole when I first posted it

It is not hyperbole now

With the bloated budget for ICE baked into the BBB, I hope you can see that now

They are coming for anyone they want to erase from their vision of the world

Secondary school cancels drag act after MP's criticism - sparking student outrage Multiple petitions have been created after a secondary school cancelled a Pride performance following criticism from an MP who labelled it ‘morally reprehensible’.

Notice the missing letter(s) in the acronym there? Oh, we KNOW that was intentional, Ms Bravermann. Keep your hatred and bigotry to yourself, and AWAY from our kids. #transrightsarehumanrights #equalitynotdivision #stopspreadinghate

So my kid's school pride day was last week. Last yeae they had a drag queen performing (friend of mine, actually) who sang songs & chatted (appropriately, obvs) with the kids. Thanks to these words from Suella Bravermann, our *lovely* tory MP, the school cancelled Lucy's appearance. #fuckthetories

Guardian article reviewing waterproof raincoats, by Paddy Maddison “I didn’t think it was possible for my cat to respect me less. That was until he caught me testing a waterproof jacket in the shower. Him, motionless in the hallway, a textbook look of feline disapproval painted across his face. Me, slowly rotating behind a glass screen like a Gore-Tex doner kebab.”

This opening paragraph really made me laugh 🤣

the fascist regime is scared of queer books, music and artwork.

make a metric fuckton of it and keep putting it out there, please.

it makes a difference.

A little white and black cat looks out a window at night. Fairy lights mark the stairs of a deck beyond the window. The cat’s reflection looks back toward the camera against the darkness.

That... Explains a whole lot. Awesome!

I was questioning if my wife was, but apparently she's just got a different kind of soul from me. Which should probably make for an awkward pairing, given what I am, but apparently not!

FIFTY TWO?! Are you a vampire?!

I'm bloody exhausted. I swear my body is still attempting to bump itself off. I have stuff to DO, ffs. I gotta go be An Adult tomorrow. Hate this BS. I wanna be a functioning human being, ffs. I miss being able to DO things. #ChronicIllness #ChronicFatigue #Fibromyalgia #InvisibleIllness

“Do you understand what I'm saying?" shouted Moist. "You can't just go around killing people!" "Why Not? You Do." The golem lowered his arm. "What?" snapped Moist. "I do not! Who told you that?" "I Worked It Out. You Have Killed Two Point Three Three Eight People," said the golem calmly. "I have never laid a finger on anyone in my life, Mr Pump. I may be–– all the things you know I am, but I am not a killer! I have never so much as drawn a sword!" "No, You Have Not. But You Have Stolen, Embezzled, Defrauded And Swindled Without Discrimination, Mr Lipvig. You Have Ruined Businesses And Destroyed Jobs. When Banks Fail, It Is Seldom Bankers Who Starve. Your Actions Have Taken Money From Those Who Had Little Enough To Begin With. In A Myriad Small Ways You Have Hastened The Deaths Of Many. You Do Not Know Them. You Did Not See Them Bleed. But You Snatched Bread From Their Mouths And Tore Clothes From Their Backs. For Sport, Mr Lipvig. For Sport. For The Joy Of The Game.” ― Terry Pratchett, Going Postal

In Terry Pratchett's 'Going Postal', Moist Von Lipwig, a lifelong con man, explains to Mr. Pump, a golem, that killing is wrong. Mr. Pump explains that Lipwig has killed people, by degrees, with every penny he's stolen.

The older I get, the more Pratchett's wisdom applies.

It's that time of the year again - this album (mostly this song and "Past Time With Good Company") on loop! This version of "Carol of the Bells" sets my spirit alight, and kicks the fire side of me into a comfy inferno. Thanks @noxarcana.bsky.social for being amazing!
