Friends.. try your hardest not to respond to the obvious shitposting by the Trump regime and the maga cult. They want you to engage and be pissed off and irritated. Don't give them the oxygen, ignore them, let it die off, block them and focus on building on the wins and positive gains. #nokings

It's so weird that Mike Johnson and the rest of the Rupli-klan mafia can only reference a one hit wonder where that hit is over 40 years old. Yeah, that will excite those young'un fans. I'm not positively certain that Lee Greenwood would survive an entire halftime set at the Super Bowl.

Start fundraising, make a go fund me page, downsize if you can, but there is a reason we have pride. “Political climate” is part of the point. Canceling is the wrong response.

Remember, Pride started as a protest.

Yesterday was @ecrossman.bsky.social's birthday. He's a pretty swell boyfriend 🥰. His husband and I took him out for a lovely French-adjacent dinner on foreign soil.

1. Transphobia is always evil. Talking about "this is where it leads" always dismisses where it starts. 2. I'm reminded of the cis woman boxer at the olympics was called a "man beating a woman" and my sister wrote to me and was like, "I'm fine with trans people but this shouldn't be happening."

Dan Sohege @danielsohege.bsky.social · Mar 27

This is the inevitable outcome of transphobic ideology. It harms cis people as well as trans if you don't fit a stereotype. If you don't look or act a specific way conjured up in the minds of the gender critical brigade you are, what they consider, a fair target.

Our Valentine's dinner plans were derailed by both of us getting super sick, so we're both quarantined for a bit. But I didn't want to let the day pass without saying how grateful I am to have @ecrossman.bsky.social in my life. I'm so fortunate for this love and connection. He is amazing.

"Me and my rhythm box!". What a delightfully trippy movie. I recommend getting connected to Night Flight Plus streaming if you're interested in zany cult classics like this one.

Eric @ecrossman.bsky.social · Feb 13

I had only seen this movie once before.30ish years ago.The scene that has stuck with me from it since then was wonderful to experience watching again.If you are adventurous,I think it’s magnificent in its own unique way.
Thanks and love to @terrypicknell.bsky.social for the shirt ❤️‍🔥

Happy sportsball extravaganza day! Hope the big game lives up to the delicious snacks for my hungry fellas. This pic is from a few days ago, but the clarion call still stands. Please excuse the bedhead and bedbeard.
