Two young adults stand smiling in front of a tree on a sunny day, with a van parked in the background and a wooded area behind them. The person on the left wears a black shirt and jeans, and the person on the right wears an orange Harley-Davidson shirt and a cap, leaning slightly toward their friend. Dos jóvenes adultos sonríen frente a un árbol en un día soleado, con una camioneta estacionada al fondo y un área boscosa detrás de ellos.

I found my old LiveJournal from 2005. It’s a time capsule of church life, internalized shame, glittery hope, and me trying to smile through the confusion.

This photo is from those Vineyard days. I was the ex-gay testimony guy, full of worship team energy and repressed everything.

My BlueSky is WWE, drag queens, advocacy, and furry b holes

Randy Fine is a fuckhead

Over 300 of us showed up at the Capitol this week. Our testimonies were so powerful, two awful bills were pulled. I spoke against SB 1710. When I shared my pronouns, Sen. Randy Fine mocked me. My pronouns aren’t a joke. Vote no on SB 1710. #PrideAtTheCapitol #ProtectTransLives

“There are times when it is better to stand alone than not stand at all.

This President is disrupting the healthcare system. He is all but defying court orders.

At some point, we’re all going to have to stand up.”

Took a break from exercising after a weekend in Saint Pete—kickball, volleyball, tennis, pickleball—then protested Trump in Tampa. Feeling strong, feeling good, and loving that this is what 41 looks like.

A person with blonde and blue hair sits on a towel under palm trees, gazing at the ocean. They wear a black tank top and dark pants, with feet stretched out in the grass. Sandals, a bag, and an Evian water bottle rest nearby.

Northshore Park before volleyball. The breeze reminds me to slow down. I don’t need to fill the silence with assumptions. People will say what they say. I’m just taking it as it comes. Or at least trying.

Morning music therapy before the 9-to-5. ☀️🎸
Strumming Beyoncé’s "II Most Wanted" because I’ll be your shotgun rider ‘til the day I die.

Starting the day with music, a little fresh air, and some cowboy energy. 🤠✨

A person with tousled blonde, blue, and purple hair stands on a patio facing away from the camera, arms crossed, looking at the early morning sky. They are wearing a black t-shirt and dark green athletic shorts with white trim. The setting is a screened-in pool area with palm trees visible through the enclosure. The sunrise casts a soft glow, reflecting on the pool’s surface. A wooden table is in the foreground, and a rocking chair sits near the pool in the background. 헝클어진 금발, 파란색, 보라색 머리를 한 사람이 카메라를 등지고 팔짱을 낀 채 이른 아침 하늘을 바라본다. 검은색 티셔츠와 흰색 테두리가 있는 짙은 녹색 운동 반바지를 입고 있다. 장소는 스크린으로 둘러싸인 수영장 공간으로, 울타리 너머로 야자수가 보인다. 일출이 부드러운 빛을 드리우며 수영장 표면에 반사된다. 나무 테이블이 전경에 있으며, 배경에는 흔들의자가 수영장 근처에 놓여 있다. Una persona con el pelo rubio, azul y morado despeinado está de espaldas a la cámara, con los brazos cruzados, mirando el cielo de la mañana temprano. Lleva una camiseta negra y pantalones cortos deportivos verde oscuro con ribetes blancos. El escenario es un área de piscina cerrada con mosquitero, con palmeras visibles a través de la estructura. El amanecer proyecta un brillo suave, reflejándose en la superficie de la piscina. En primer plano hay una mesa de madera, y en el fondo, una mecedora se encuentra cerca de la piscina.

Woke up early, hit the gym, and played some Beyoncé country on the guitar before work. Still trying to convince myself this is the move, but at least the sunrise had my back. #NewToTampa and missing #StPete

"I'm too old of a cat to be fucked by a kitten." Yes! More quotes from LA LGBT Center with @naybever.bsky.social

Skibidi toilet means nothing and everything. @todayingaypod.bsky.social

Accessible moviegoing is a huge problem here in L.A. especially with so many historical theaters. Fatphobic seats that haven't been updated since the 1970s are a problem and requiring people to stand in line for 2 hours to get a seat for special events is exclusionary to many disabled people!

A black-and-white graphic with bold text at the top saying "DON’T WANT TO SEE TRANS PEOPLE?" and text at the bottom saying "PLUCK OUT YOUR EYES." The central image is a detailed, grainy illustration of a hand holding a scorpion, which is clutching a realistic eyeball in its pincers. The design has a punk, horror-inspired aesthetic with high-contrast shading. Un gráfico en blanco y negro con texto en la parte superior que dice "DON’T WANT TO SEE TRANS PEOPLE?" y texto en la parte inferior que dice "PLUCK OUT YOUR EYES." La imagen central muestra una ilustración detallada y granulada de una mano sosteniendo un escorpión, que sujeta un ojo realista con sus pinzas. El diseño tiene una estética punk inspirada en el horror con sombras de alto contraste. 흑백 그래픽으로, 상단에 "DON’T WANT TO SEE TRANS PEOPLE?"라는 텍스트와 하단에 "PLUCK OUT YOUR EYES."라는 텍스트가 있다. 중앙 이미지는 손이 전갈을 잡고 있는 세밀하고 거친 일러스트이며, 전갈은 사실적인 눈알을 집게발로 쥐고 있다. 디자인은 공포와 펑크 스타일에서 영감을 받은 고대비 음영을 특징으로 한다.

If trans people existing bothers you, the problem isn’t them.

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

A group of people posing on a beach after a volleyball game. Some are shirtless, and others are wearing “Hot Mess Volleyball” tank tops or shirts.
