Wearing a long white skirt and an ace pride top I crocheted with a white cup, a purple cup, 5 rows of gray in different stitches, and a few inches of black lace. I'm staring awkwardly at my boobs because I always make derp faces when my photo is taken.

yes, and...

most of their base don't seem to understand what fascism is either (let alone that they are, in fact, fascists.)

if we get them to stop calling us antifa, they'll either unironically call us "antifascist" as a pejorative, OR they'll just call us wokeists or frogqueers or whatever.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

finished crocheting this scrap-yarn tote today.
still have to line it, but I really like how it turned out.

a tote bag made of crocheted granny squares that look like flowers in the colors brown, orange, red, and yellow, with green between the flowers. the bag has a brown strap.

Courtney of The Ace Couple has said that stories are better than labels for explaining the Ace experience...

I agree! The protag of my novel series is also bi and ace (though she doesn't know it.)

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Text has been altered from original. It reads
Fiftieth Anniversary
Frog and Toad Are Antifa

It’s okay to not be okay. You’re doing the best you can in a hostile and difficult world, and I’m proud of you for that.

Take time to do something kind for yourself today 🩵

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?
