None of us is alone. I'm still here. We're still here. In spite of all of this, we're still not going back, only forward. I love you with my whole heart, family.

US residents: now is a good time to renew your passport. Maybe you don't think you would ever choose to leave, but having the option is better than not having it.

good morning dykes, just remembered this photo exists 🫃🏻

We're curing HIV.

I ... I don't have words for how much that hits me like a blow to the sternum, every single time.

Every single time.

I never thought we'd be here, but here we are.

This is incredible. I love the...dancing sea stars?...on the boots or leggings on the person on the left-hand side of the frame. I love how intricate the flowers are around the middle person's neckline. And I love how the right-hand person used the red and blue closure tapes from the bags to add color and how they incorporated them into the neckline detail -- that's seriously so beautiful and not something I would have thought to do, I think. Jesus, what an outstanding thing.

Everyone should experience a Krampus festival at least once in their lifetime

Daily reminder that we do not actually live in a dystopian movie put the apocalypse down and back away slowly. You know when your cleaning a room and you pull everything out of it's draws to sort through it and you're like "what the fuck have I done I'm never going to be able to tidy all of this" I think that's the stage we're at in the world. Thanks to social media we've pulled out all the messed up shit from the cupboards of the world, it was always there but now we can see it and we're going to have to sort it all out we made this mess and we can fix it. Falling to the floor sobbing will not clean a crusty room. A group of people working systematically (preferably with music in the background) will.

Happy Lunar New Year!

Tonight is the first new moon of the lunisolar calendar, a time for new beginnings. The moon plays an important role in our world’s ocean—from controlling the tides, to playing conductor in the orchestra of marine life cycles.

Moon jellies—named simply for their lunar satel-likeness—are delightfully drifting reminders of our nearest sea-lestial body. We hope that tonight you can find time to reflect in the shadow of the new moon and shellebrate new beginnings. 

Wishing you a year of prosperity! ♥️ 🌑 🧧
