50+ Author of Orangeroof Zoo - What would you do if you received a mysterious postcard from a person you’ve never heard of summoning you to an abandoned zoo?
On the first day of Pride month, we’re remembering Marsha P Johnson, the tireless activist who participated in the 1969 Stonewall riots against police.
She fought throughout her life for trans rights and for the rights of people of colour within the LGBT+ movement before her passing in 1992. Her body was pulled from the Hudson River, and her death was initially ruled to be by s*icide, but authorities later claimed it was a “drowning from undetermined causes”.
On the subject of history, Johnson famously said: “History isn’t something you look back at and say it was inevitable. It happens because people make decisions that are sometimes very impulsive and of the moment, but those moments are cumulative realities.”

Pride is joy. Pride is courage. Pride is a celebration. And Pride is the ongoing fight to ensure every person can live as their authentic self.
This month and every month, we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and all those continuing the fight for equality.
Happy Pride!
It’s still Twitter.
It’s still the Kennedy Center.
It’s still the Department of Defense.
It’s still the Gulf of Mexico.
And Donald Trump is still a rapist.

BREAKING: Millville, New Jersey just blocked the LARGEST proposed data center project ever stopped in the state. The 2.6 million sq. ft. 1.4 gigawatt hyperscale campus would have used enough electricity to power over 1 million homes.
Students and farmers stopped this!!
The NAACP is taking a stand. Today, we launch the #OutofBounds campaign, a national call to action for Black athletes, families, fans, and allies.
In response to states erasing Black voting representation after the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais decision, we are demanding accountability.
"Out of Bounds is our answer: we are naming the contradiction, and we are calling on Black athletes, families, fans, and consumers to act on it. The same power that built these programs can be redirected." —NAACP President and CEO @DerrickNAACP

I block transphobes on sight. Trans rights are human rights and my trans friends deserve to live, exist as their true selves and live full lives. Nothing any transphobe or terf says will change my mind.
