This. @USFigureSkating this is not how you make change.

[Ashley Wagner @AshWagner2010]

This US Figure Skating hire is so incredibly frustrating and disappointing to see. As an organization that promised to make change surrounding a culture of grooming and abuse, this feels like a careless step backwards, disregarding the truth and experiences of survivors.

What is up with the sudden disappearance of shopping baskets from grocery stores? Big Y, Stop & Shop… It’s gross. I don’t want to fill or navigate a giant cart. I want to pick up a few items and move around the store easily.

1. I don’t expect much from the Saudi government when it comes to human rights.

But there is a horrific violation of human rights that I want to bring attention to.

Today is the anniversary of the Stonewall riots, the reason Pride is in June.

In 1969, it was illegal to wear clothes that were considered inappropriate for one's sex and when the police raided the Stonewall Inn's gay bar, they started to do a genital check (as was procedure).

Cis people: I need you to understand (and help others understand) that “the trans debate” is NOT relevant “to only a small number of people” but to everyone. Thread below for why:

(This is focused on cis women, but cis dudes I need you to listen too. You are also in danger.)
