Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Their latest batshit insane conspiracy theory is that libruhls are intentionally spreading bird flu to raise egg prices.

This timeline is so fucked.

A small pen drawing of a love potion where the gas coming out of the bottle looks like a skull

A small pen drawing of a oblong vial. The bubbles inside the vial are hearts, and the cork stopper is shapped like a heart. There is a tag attached to the bottle by a string that reads "drink me"

The Cult-Figure Life of Leonardo Da Vinci From 2005: The notion that Leonardo was so weird that he could be from another planet has survived a century of scholarship, Adam Gopnik writes.

Leonardo Da Vinci is “weird, matchlessly weird, and nothing to be done about it,” Adam Gopnik wrote, in 2018. Read about the artist’s life and times—and how his quest for a universal system of proportion guided his work.

Not my art

Only 80 years.

Seems fitting right now.

It’s really fucking hard to forgive anyone who voted for this shit.

Hi, I’m God.

You all died in 2016.

And yes, this is Hell.

I wish I had the privilege to not be affected by politics and what's happening around me. Before I came out, I had that privilege. I was living and identifying, at the time, as a cis white heterosexual male. I was an ally, but ultimately I wasn't directly affected by anything. I spoke out, advocated, and supported however I could. Whether it was BLM, Me Too, trans rights, etc. I always did what I could to learn, grow, and be a good human. That's honestly how I learned about myself and came to accept who I am. I remember at the time how curious it was that my voice carried more weight than those actively being impacted. Again, a sign of privilege that I took for granted. Fast forward a few years to now and I'm the one being impacted by the world. I'm a member of the minority that is currently under siege by hateful rhetoric and policy. I go online and I see members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, my community, screaming and begging for help. To be honest, I'm scared for what's to come. I've shed my tears and have stayed in stunned silence until now. I know, being in the minority, that my voice won't carry as much weight as it did before. I've been called several things, usually [insert slur(s)], more importantly I've been told to calm down, that it isn't that bad, and that the policies only affect some rights, not all.

The last one is the reason I'm writing this novel of a post. The request to compromise and sacrifice freedom does not sit well with me. Especially coming from members of the majority that are not directly impacted by those policy changes and restrictions. I've said it before, and I'm going to say it again, ally, although technically a noun, is better described as a verb. To be an ally you need to be active. You need to stand with the community. Most importantly you are asked to not back down. Compromise to restrictions and tolerance of hate does not make you an ally. It makes you a bystander, and right now, the line between bystander and oppressor is getting pretty fucking blurred. To those that have read this post that are a part of the community, especially my trans siblings, you are valid, you are loved, and you are seen. To those reading this post that are allies, it's time to use your voice and stand with the community. If you haven't yet, reach out to your friends and loved ones in the community and check in with them, I'm sure they could use it. To quote the movie 'The Boondock Saints': "...we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men." Thank you all for reading 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
