Orion (they/them)

A capybara sits in a patch of grass at a zoo.

Today's post is a #capybara I saw at the zoo on Halloween.

Baby-blue text over a photo of a partially-cloudy sky, with pink hearts superimposed over top. "Comrades; we need you to mask up with us. We mask up not because of our individual health, but because we love the people. COVID is not over, we need to take care of each other."

ICE agents are not wearing ‘masks’.

They’re face coverings. Bandanas. Gaiters.

Masks are a public health tool. They’re a form of both resistance and community care.

ICE agents wear them to terrorize people & hide their identity.

The rest of us wear masks to protect one another.

Proper top surgery response: My tits? Yeah, they are fugitives, that's why they ran away.

Some recent selfies, since I've been taking more of them after top surgery (I actually like how I feel in my body!)

Small world, I used to work for Fletcher's once upon a time.

The world is crumbling, but I will find joy in being trans/non-binary.

I got top surgery a little over a week ago and I feel so happy and comfortable in my skin finally.🥹😭

Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing.

Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.

A medium sized plushie frog appears, being held in someone's hand.

I adopted a froggy son from a thrift store this weekend.

if they want to go back to the 1950s, we’re bringing the cuisine back to the 1950s too. you put me in the kitchen, I will spend 100% of my time in there finding how much horseradish and shrimp I can put in Jello before God personally comes down here to stop me.

A tall/long Furby wearing a baseball cap sits in a chair. Their face is illuminated by the sun. Text overlayed on the image says, "he is beauty, he is grace, he is my son."

I love my son 🥰🥹✨

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder:

we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now.

the climate crisis is here, all around us

Here’s a New Year’s Resolution:

Be on the side that reads books — not the side that bans them.

I've done my time in customer service.
I should be allowed to fist fight one customer per day.

A photo of the back of a computer chair with a label reading "TOOT ZONE" right where the user's butt would be

letting my partner borrow my label maker was a mistake

My brain is like trying to work with an Excel Spreadsheet on a Windows 98 setup.

I know everyone says this, but the amount of STUFF libraries have available digitally is just breathtaking. My library system here in Baton Rouge has thousands of Udemy courses available. And they're free! They're so free.

Libraries are cool. Librarians are cool. Support your libraries.

🎵i started out as a fish how did i end up like this / i was only a fish / I WAS ONLY A FISH 🎶

Just a reminder to support your local public libraries! Write letters of support. Use the library often & in many different ways. Show up to meetings.

Library staff have been begging for help, advocacy, and action for years. Please show up for libraries.

We fight for each other. We fight with each other. We fight because we’re still here and if we’re still here there’s hope.
