Striving is sexy
Transformation is sexy

Bonafidemasks.com, which is where I get all my KN95s from is having a 25% off sale + free shipping! They have tons of colors and styles (and full N95s too).

STOCK UP NOW!! 😷 Covid is raging and disabling millions, not to mention all the other airborne disease, pollution, etc. Masking is solidarity

This is going to be an extremely important case. Right now orgs ranging from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to AIDS/HIV advocacy, colleges, crisis centers, and more are being told to pretend trans people don't exist or lose your funding... and many are choosing to pretend!

Baby's first sewing project! I got this patch at a protest last summer, and had been wearing my jacket with it safety pinned on 😅
Now it's sewn on, and I added these patches of sashiko embroidery. Can't wait to see how it turns out when the stencils wash away!

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

*one line should read "their voice guides our practice"

Was finally able to attend Sacred Stillness, facilitated by Alé at Heartfelt Yoga. The practice was even more beautiful than I anticipated. Here is a little bit of my view of the co-created altar, and I draft I wrote inspired by the class. Thank you, Alé!

Now updated with the breaking news that Elon Musk's team has been granted full access to the Treasury Department's federal payment system.

In my years of reporting on LGBTQ news this was by far the hardest.

But we are still here. You made it to Friday. You lived. Good job. That wasn’t easy.

Through a diversity of tactics, we will continue to live.

Rest up, drink water, find community, so that we can all be here tomorrow too.

This is the first month that Chappell hasn't shown up here in aaages - but she's still number 1 in my heart 💗

I promise you it is far more effective to say what they are actually doing and calling them what they actually are then spewing ableist slurs and rhetoric that only serve to reinforce ableism/abled supremacy and stigmatize and oppress disabled people.
