I hate Midwestern Halloween. What do you mean you're corn?

Happy Halloween and a blessed Samhain to all!

Translation: I took a beautifully simple 85 year old bathroom, spent an ungod amount of money to make it look absolutely tacky and unsightly.

To those who are planning on making a political statement on Halloween with ramen or cup mac n cheese, flyers, ect......don't.

Let the kids have a fun, magical night with as much candy, chocolate, and mild mischief as possible.

What does democracy look like?

Not this. This is heinous.

To my fellow white trans women, especially the fortunate ones in places like Seattle and other blue cities in blue states, fight and protect those of us who are less fortunate.

Today we finished up some door knocking before the start of this week! Petition season is wrapping up, and I am so incredibly grateful for all the support up until this point!

This fight has just started. Let's keep it going so we can have A Better Illinois, together.

Let's go transsexuals!*

*Let's just scoot past that TDOV is the same day every year. Also, I love how even the president of the United States is sexually attracted to us, as the only reason to point this out is because the only thing on his mind is what we do in bed. Girl.

Lets Get Zoey to Springfield! Donate today so, together, we can make this A Better Illinois.

Why am I asking YOU to donate? Because I don't take corporate funds. Because I am a hardworking, middle class Illinoisan just like you and so many others. Because this is a people powered campaign.

So donate $5, $10, or $25 today, and let's make this A Better Illinois, together.

Hey y'all! We just have two weeks left until the end of petition season, and our team has put together a goal of $1000 to hit by then!

I feel that they are good, because it shows people that what's happening now isn't okay. And more and more people are starting to realize everything going on.

That being said, they aren't protests. They're rallies. Big difference.

While millions of Americans lose food, healthcare, jobs, and encounter rising costs everywhere, our administration is tearing down chunks of the white house for a vanity project meant for the ultra wealthy.

If you would like to know how much people dislike this regime, I just want you to know that the Libertarians were at today's protest. On our side.

Thank you for the amazing day @transupfrontil.com! Our rights are not to be trampled on, and I will fight to make sure trans and queer Illinoisans have the same rights as any other human, especially our LGBTQ+ Black and Brown residents and our trans youth.

ADHD isn't a joke or a gag. It's a legitimate disability that affects so many people around the world. As someone who struggles with ADHD, and with the healthcare system's lack of assistance with people like me, I know how disabling it can be.

I feel like if you didn't grow up on Country Crock, shelf stable 'maple' syrup, Crisco, and Goldhen eggs, you shouldn't be an elected official.

Y'all. Because I can't keep still and do way too much darn stuff, I'm so excited for a local project coming up soon that I am a part of! Can't say yet, but watch out!

As an Illinoisan and an American, self expression has always been important. From Stonewall to the Lavender District, everyone deserves to be themselves, no matter what.

Happy Coming Out Day!

Spent the day at the Peoria County Bicentennial, celebrating 200 years of Peoria County! Of course I had to take a picture with the Pekin Community High School District 303 bison. Here's to another 200 more!

Thank you Jane. From the backyard to Antarctica, you helped show a little girl deep in the Midwest that even though our journies may differ, the land that we traverse that journey on is all of ours to protect and cherish.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Since the far right likes to co-opt historical flags, let me share my favorite. A naval flag from 1813 during the war of 1812, it is a naval symbol of not giving in. Never surrendering.

My community, my state is my ship. And I won't give up my ship.
