Oak Lawn United Methodist Church in Dallas painting steps rainbow after Gov. Abbott's order on crosswalks The church in the Oak Lawn neighborhood says it's painting its steps in rainbow colors in response to Gov. Greg Abbott's order targeting rainbow crosswalks.

Texans fighting back in Dallas. This is so great.

Let's Get PrEP'd by Hien Pham, published October 21, 2025 on https://www.ohjoysextoy.com/lets-get-prepd-hien-pham

Hien Pham illustrates in a more realistically rendered style, using the full spectrum of colors though the backgrounds are mostly a pale blue He is a Southeast Asian cisgender heavyset man with a short, bushy, black beard, fuzzy body hair, and glasses. He is mostly bald on top, with the rest of his hair pulled back into a bun.

"Hmm..." Hien ponders to himself seriously, tapping his finger to his pursed lips as he inspects a wall of medical brochures. 

"What'cha looking for, Hien?" A ginger-bearded man asks as he saunters into the clinic waiting room. He wears a maroon bucket hat, white t-shirt, and jeans. "Want a hand with anything?"

"Well... I'm planning some sexy comic research and I'm wondering..." Nervously, Hien perspires from his temple a  little as he timidly asks. "...are there options in addition to condoms that my partners and I can use to have safer sex?" 

"Are you on PrEP?" The man asks, gesturing at a dark blue brochure on the wall. 

"What's PrEP?" Asks Hien.

"It's a very accessible HIV-prevention medication!" The man answers while handing Hien the brochure, which is labeled "WAAC's Little Book of PrEP"

Caption: WAAC, aka the Western Australian AIDS Council!

Gesturing to another silver-haired man who is sauntering in, the bearded man offers, "Let me introduce you to Garry, one of our OG nurses here at M Clinic! He'll give you the rundown on PrEP!"

"Hello!" Chirps Gary, giving a little wave. He sports a silver scruff of hair on top with the sides shaved off, with a well-kept mustache, stubble, and multiple ear piercings. He wears wristbands on each wrist and a collared short-sleeved shirt over another longer-sleeved one, along with jeans. 

Caption: M Clinic is Perth's only sexual health clinic specifically for men, trans people, and nonbinary folks who have sex with men.

I was only allowed to teach my โ€œTheater of Protestโ€ class once, but it taught me that a) ppl love doing theater, b) they love doing theater w a purpose in community w others and c) those performances help ppl dream into being a reality of hope and dignity

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

Every book I read in 2025 #22; Torn on where to rank this. Itโ€™s interesting as a coming of age book & metaphor for the changing mother/daughter relationship as a daughter grows up. But the last 1/3 really dragged. I kept waiting for a twist or something to shake it up but it never came. 3.5 stars

Leaving aside the stupidity of wondering why a bully's victims didn't mourn the death of their bully, this is some incredibly dangerous shit.

"Loomer falsely suggested that Paul Pelosi and his assailant were lovers, calling the brutal assault on the octogenarian a โ€œbooty call gone wrong.โ€ Speaking to a television audience a few days after the attack, a grinning Kirk called for the intruder to be sprung from jail."

Screenshot of article excerpt: The Education Department also was concerned about other words in the application, said Adrian Klenz, who works with deafblind adults in the state. He said he has talked with state officials about the discontinuation of the grant.

โ€œI was told that apparently the administration is going through past grants and two words were flagged: One was transition and one was privilege,โ€ Klenz said. โ€œTransition โ€” transitioning from childhood to adulthood. Privilege came up because a parent wrote a glowing review of staff that said what a privilege it was to work with them.โ€ ProPublica obtained a copy of the grant application and confirmed that those words were included.
