From the NYT: "According to a preliminary internal report circulated inside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, federal and local officials recovered ammunition with the rifle that appeared to be engraved with statements “expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology" But a senior law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation cautioned that report had not been verified by A.T.E analysts, did not match other summaries of the evidence, and might turn out to have been misread or misinterpreted. In fast-moving investigations, such status reports are not made public because they often contain a mixture of accurate and inaccurate information."

if you see people parroting the "trans ideology on the bullet" theory, send them this

This is how you do it.

YouTube video by Bebeaubonne Films The Devil and the Ghost

Listen up, gays! Bebeaubonne Films dropped an incredibly queer Halloween short film, and it rocks.

The Devil and the Ghost isn't a horror film. It's a romance. Shy nonbinary person meets & falls for an adventurous polyamorous woman and has to wrestle with their ensuing anxiety

This queer short film has:

- walking ghost tour dramatics
- a visit to Claude Rains's grave
- a steamy car scene
- smoking weed out of a pumpkin
- dancing sequences that exist solely to make you feel alive (positive)
- queers!!!

Ohhh i will absolutely do that on Monday if you want!

It should be recognized that society is still grappling with the cultural and policy implications of the rapidly shifting understanding of gender. There are some issues - such as participation in sports and appropriate medical care for minors - that remain fiercely debated, even by those who broadly support trans rights. There should be room for those conversations. But what shouldn't be debated is whether the government should target a group of Americans to be stripped of their freedom and dignity to move through the world as they choose. This is a campaign in which cruelty and humiliation seem to be the fundamental point.

The idea that there should be a public debate about the appropriate medical care for a minuscule population of children remains one of the most absurd lies that these liberal transphobes, NYT edit board included, tell themselves. No there shouldn’t! It’s not an appropriate matter for public debate!

If you see this, post your pride flags!

Queer - not confirming to hetero norms.

Non-binary - I've never felt like woman, cute, lady, etc fit for me. I feel in the between genders.

Pan - hearts not parts and gender identity does not affect my attraction as much as their kindness and heart.

For all federal employees:

Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs.

If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

History does repeat itself.

Therein lies horror. And therein lies hope.

Because time and time again, the same old forces have tried to erase us and they always fail. Time and time again, their acts of hate inspire our acts of rebellion that push progress forward in response to their steps back.

Well, they haven't fixed their hearts, so

bluesky existing with interactions like this getting tons of likes is proof that Woke is healing

they want to erase us completely. do not let them, we will outlive these fascists. create art, take pictures of yourself or your trans friends, make something lasting. we will outlast them forever

Holy shit this blew up. Thank you for supporting trans people right now

How?!

Excuse me. Mocha cream cheese frosting?!

It's okay to rest. You are processing a lot.
