The president is essentially saying any media outlets that don't express overt fealty to him will be subject to investigation and prosecution -- and he's doing this in the Justice Department's headquarters.

Hi, I’m Joshua 👋

I’m a designer, strategist and writer living in sunny California. I love telling stories that bring people together and make the world a better place.

okayyyyyyy so I caved and used AI to turn this coffee shop selfie into a professional-ish head shot and damned if it isn’t good enough for now—I am lowkey impressed and also more than a little scared for the future of society 😳

@catcaya.bsky.social hey 😔

PSA: Mexico is doing far more to help the people of Los Angeles than incoming President Donald Trump. 🇲🇽🤝🇺🇸

In the end Trump got away with everything (except the crimes and civil violations he committed in New York). And I don't blame Jack Smith. He did his job. I 100 percent blame Merrick Garland, who frittered away two full years and let Trump walk for stealing classified documents and fomenting a coup.

Donald Trump is a convicted felon 🇺🇸

My recommendation to my friends & followers is to delete Facebook, Instagram, Threads and Messenger permanently.

Your life will be the better for it.

This will be my last week on any Meta platform.

I can no longer remain complicit in promoting or even just using social media platforms owned by a corporation that actively harms queer & trans folk.

@ashleadavie.bsky.social Good to find you over here where the skies are blue 👋

Unpopular take: secretly affirming pastors aren’t afraid of embracing queer people as much as admitting they know full well the Bible isn’t an inerrant, infallible, unchanging rulebook for life, but their salary, community, & career are directly dependent on them continuing to uphold that myth.

Tran rights are human rights 🏳️‍⚧️

fuckity fuck let’s fuckin do this I guess.

It could be worse. It could be Tucker Carlson.

if darkness hides the evergreen
let her lie in shadow now, but just
until the day breaks upon
her face
and radiance
overcomes our desolation.

the small things of tomorrow
they our mystic company
our siblings,
joyous fellowship
only spoken of in future tense
and pregnant hesitation

to speak one’s hope
could kill it

/4

in darkness we find ourselves
alone, we bind ourselves to hope
to the others of our longing
the whispers of what could have been
but is not,
cannot be

in darkness the small things grow
that power cannot reach
can not yet crush
can not see

/3

// the waiting //

in darkness is the waiting done
the watching, wondering
the wandering

in darkness there is quiet
and solace,
and sleep

/2

Over the past week I have grieved and raged and wept and drifted but today I feel the first few glimmers of hope.

Not many.

But still…a few.

And so I gift you this poem dedicated to all my mutuals here as we enter the next four years of resilency & resistance…
