The amazing @AustinFTaylorr released an EP called Songbird, and I may be biased, but I think it's freaking amazing. Check it out on Spotify (https://t.co/bhNSEX8FqB) and all other streaming services! You can also buy the album or merch on his website (https://t.co/1ZdTnGz9zX)!
i cannot really vocalize how extremely disheartening these allegations about lizzo are and one of the really sad parts is that many people will not see this situation as something serious for the affected victims speaking out but will just be celebrating the “downfall” of lizzo
For the last week of #PrideMonth here’s an evergreen reminder:
🌈Books with queer characters in M/F ships are STILL queer!
🌈Books where queerness is incidental to the plot are STILL queer!
🌈Books where queer characters don’t use a specific label/are closeted are STILL queer!
If an Orca happens to attack my boat or sink my dinghy and I die, I am telling you, you must politicize my death and demand we give trees and animals standing

If you've watched Shiny Happy People this weekend...this is a nice antidote!
She Deserves Better is based on a survey of 7000 evangelical women to see how toxic teachings have infiltrated the church, and have impacted women long term.
We deserve better

Elder queer here to remind you as Pride begins: people are queer if they say they’re queer regardless of straight- or cis-passing relationships. And some people can’t be out for various reasons, so be welcoming to all who are supportive.
All that’s left is a sanitized and worthless collection of tiny rainbows and bad graphic tanks that don’t even say Pride.
A peer said it well: “it tells our guest to go back in the closet.”
And it tells all of us who work here that we might as well too.
This hurts.
My mom got a call from her old business partner so they’re catching up and from the next room I can overhear her going “Alex is a carpenter now? That’s wonderful… yeah, Matthew is living with his fiancé, believe it or not… Sarah? Oh, Sarah is in a bitter feud with JK Rowling…”
I think one takeaway from watching people comment on the passing of Tim Keller is that an individual can be gracious and kind, even in disagreement, and still hold beliefs and perpetuate systems that are harmful.
I've been spending a lot of time laying on my back on my front porch so I can look under milkweed leaves for eggs/caterpillars, and I can only imagine what my neighbors must be thinking 😅
