“…the science is clear and conclusive: sex is not binary, transgender people are real.” #SRYnotSRY Yes I went there.

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

OMG, the iconic Scientific American (@sciam) just said "knock it off" on using terrible science to justify transphobia.

Parenting today: We can’t go there. Put your mask on. No. No. Nope. We can’t. No. I hope so. No. No. 6 feet. Nope. We can’t go there. We can’t do that. Maybe some day. No. We need to leave. No. Nope. We can’t. No. Don’t touch that. No. No. No.

Ok, ok, ok. Now there’s an earthquake in California. Heads up, #ALAVirtual20. Be careful, west coasters...

[🧼Lindsey Weeramuni🧼 @LBWicket]

@readitrealgood You’re right, I just facepalmed myself over this. Ugh.

[🧼Lindsey Weeramuni🧼 @LBWicket]

I keep clickign on the livestream link in the “Serving the Transgender community” and ending up in the “Challenges of Researching Women” session. Eh? #ALAVirtual20

Oh my God, Sophia Thakur’s poetry. Oh my. Amazing. #ALAVirtual20

Hatemongers thrive on attempts to stifle their speech. It feuls their propaganda and attracts attention to their message. #ALAVirtual20 #IntellectualFreedomHateSpeechthe1stAmendment

Yup

I am in tears over this. KtE learned to talk here. I grew KtY in my belly on their food. Too many date nights w/ @wheresmyporsche to count. BPS fundraising, Mama Nights Out, milestone birthday parties… Eff off, #COVID19. All the way into the sun. #JamaicaPlain

Eating our first meal 17 years ago at the old @MilkyWayJP—surrounded by folk of every color, class, and gender—sealed our decision to move to Boston and bring up our kids in BPS. I also remember you let all kids eat free during the 2008 recession. So sad. Thank you. #JamaicaPlain

@LChaney126 No, I have a conflict.

[🧼Lindsey Weeramuni🧼 @LBWicket]

I took a brief twit-break, but I’m back to do a few things, in no particular order:
1) Work on examining my #WhitePrivilege
B) Ask folks what they need & if they want my help
*) STFU and listen

@CityOfBoston I’m glad the mayor noted the increase of fireworks. @BOS311 says we need to call police for complaints, but I don’t feel right about that. I don’t know the lives of those using them and I don’t think it’s my right to criminalize them. Do better, Boston.

[🧼Lindsey Weeramuni🧼 @LBWicket]

@DisneyFoodBlog Amen. Paging @SHudsonTravel ! @MouseFanTravel

Love and gratitude to @kacencallender for their column in @them. KtY: “Woah, awesome. "Harry Potter Saved My Life. J.K. Rowling Is Now Endangering Trans People Like Me https://t.co/F1CKmfh6BK

@kacencallender He is a walking Venn diagram of marginalized IDs. Folks like you, him, and so many others in your community will always have my love and respect. I will never stop working to ensure your safety.

[🧼Lindsey Weeramuni🧼 @LBWicket]

@kacencallender The confluence of the current events happening during #PrideMonth reminds me of how far we have to go. The future is in the hands of my queer, trans, and mixed child & others like him. 1/

So proud to hear my friends and activists @ProRockThrower and @titojackson talking about protests against police brutality on @WBUR. I’m forever in awe of their voices and passion for the community.

I just want my black family, friends and neighbors to live, grow old and die of not being murdered.
