Sometimes, it’s useful to say, “I’m queer,” instead of getting into the full list of all the ways I don’t fit the supposed defaults for gender, sexuality, relationships, etc.

you are allowed to identify as queer. you don’t need to be ashamed of being queer.

I love the juxtaposition of “Singin’ in the Rain” and “Umbrella.”  Wow, that guy can move!

Pride bees! They're so cute!!

I have no idea if anyone feels the need for more pride flag colored bees, but here is a few more.

UPDATE: i guess there was a need so MORE BEES.

I forgot to post again yesterday, so it's another two-for-one deal on National Poetry Month!  We're continuing our trend of dangerous womanhood with Lucille Clifton's won't you celebrate with me.

Part of shaping your own life is naming yourself.  There is power in a name, as Enby-Phoenix explains beautifully in Names.

National Poetry Month continues!  I saw this recently, and it seemed like the perfect companion piece to Shel Silverstein's Invitation.  Here is a Monstrous Manifesto by Catherynne M. Valente.  Stand up!

Congressional funding for this program is running out, so it will be suspended. The free COVID-19 tests will no longer be available for people in the US as of September 2, 2022.  I you haven’t already ordered your tests, do it soon!

people in the us if you haven't already ordered your 3 sets of covid rapid test kits to be sent through the mail yet, do it now because they're ending the program on September 2nd 2022

If you live in the United States, can legally vote, and have not already done so, please vote on November 8, 2022.  Specifically, vote for people who are not fascists, who will support everyone’s bodily autonomy, and who believe that LGBTQ+ people deserve rights.

If you need voting information and can’t find it yourself, call or email your local library.  They will probably have everything handy (because you are almost certainly not the only person with questions), but they will find it for you if necessary!  The only thing they won’t tell you is whom to vote for.

Some states will allow you to register at the polls if you are not already registered.  Even if you can’t register for this election, do it now so you’re ready for the next one.

Reminder: tomorrow’s Election Day. If you haven’t voted, take a moment to look up the voting centers near you and hours of operation

Some states mandate time off to allow employees to vote. Some don’t. If your state does, be firm in your right to take time to vote if you cannot any other time

Don’t let those self-righteous old fascist fucks get comfortable. Even if you think there’s no chance, make ‘em sweat
