UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

Watched 1986's "Manhunter" last night and I forget what an absolute banger that film is. There is zero chance that today's FBI would be this competent and organized.

I read the rocky mountain hiking trails site and apparently when you reach Emerald Lake, you're at 10,110 feet. I must not have checked my altimeter because I was too busy just being completely floored by how pretty it all was.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

If you find yourself in Denver and you're vegan/vegetarian, do yourself a massive favor and hit up the Vegan Van. Fast food type menu that RIPS. I got the fried chicken sandwich and it was excellent. I wanted to die a little because I ate so much, but totally worth it.

Walking around downtown Denver with wife before flight home- “wow this all these people’s almost Friday.”

I’m very happy to see the Gaza Skate Team celebrating but I just don’t trust Israel.

@mostlyskate.bsky.social my take is that the proliferation of skateparks, and zumiez/Vans stores in the mall made skating very uncool. Like, who wants to go to the mall to get their gear for a "subversive" activity? And to that end, who wants to do said activity in a gov sanctioned environment?
