Is being gay something you should confess? How about “acting on it?”

I made a video about how queerness isn’t some special call to sainthood or martyrdom. And it’s okay to want more than that from life!

Remember that donating to political candidates in the final week when you care most is extremely ineffective. Candidates need money NOW so they can get their message in front of hard to reach voters!

My classroom. Including a pencil I strung up to the ceiling for a student who kept losing his. We are talking about kids like this. Thousands.

I was a volunteer for two years at Catholic “orphanage” in Honduras. I still have extremely mixed feelings about my time there as a white guy in a POC country with a colonial past. But today’s news has me a level of outrage I haven’t experienced in quite some time.

I hear kids buried under the school and all I can see is the school I taught in. The kids I loved. Fuck.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that when you sexually harass community members you are going to get kicked out of the group? We don’t tolerate it and that’s not unchristian behavior…

[Jason Reynolds News @JasonReynolds83]

People are conflating Critical Race Theory with History. Y’all really protesting the teaching of HISTORY in schools. And just because that history makes some uncomfortable, that doesn’t make it any less true.

Just once I want a head of state visiting another head of state to bring a stupid but useful gift like a fidget spinner it a gift card to the Cheesecake Factory.

The world’s assumptions will swallow us and once we are fully inside it’s imposed view of sameness, it does little good for us or the world to occasionally, if it’s not too much of a bother, assert that, actually, we are a little different.

[Patrick Flores @patrickcflores]

Why do queer people talk often about our sexuality? Because unless we daily make it a point to assert our queerness, the world will daily, hourly, constantly make make it a point to assert we are not.

Passed a license plate today that said “GBLESSY” which my brain read as Gobble Sassy and after hours contemplating what type of human has that for a vanity plate I realized it meant God Bless You.

@DaultRadio One of my all-time favs

Recently at Home Depot an asshole was getting super impatient waiting to check out and he started his truck with the remote start and when he got out there someone had driven off with it.
