Every day there’s some new reminder of how much shit is being loudly dumped into a big pit of institutional transphobia with full support of the just asking questions w reasonable concern audience.
BREAKING: The House of Representatives just voted to require teachers to forcibly out transgender youth against their will. Censoring "gender ideology" does nothing to advance the basic promise that every child deserves the same opportunity to thrive, and that includes transgender students.

"We are out there in every place they are, showing them that every person in this city is one of our own, that there is no such thing as other people’s children, that collectively we are not afraid of staring them in the eye," @erikhane.bsky.social writes from Minneapolis.
There is no such thing as other people’s children
It is intolerable

Happy Friday from our first “Tom Thumb” popcorn cob of the season! It’s so perfect and tiny I just can’t handle it!
