Striving is sexy
Transformation is sexy
britchida.bsky.social britchida @britchida.bsky.social · Mar 28
I came across this image of Octavia E. Butler’s journals. I can’t stop reading it. Wanted to show you.

“Good is only sexy when it’s very powerful, not sanctamonious, and not too good. <real>”

“Dependency is also sexy when it is chosen”

“Downturns are only sexy if they are temporary.”

Amen.

Bonafidemasks.com, which is where I get all my KN95s from is having a 25% off sale + free shipping! They have tons of colors and styles (and full N95s too).

STOCK UP NOW!! 😷 Covid is raging and disabling millions, not to mention all the other airborne disease, pollution, etc. Masking is solidarity

This is going to be an extremely important case. Right now orgs ranging from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to AIDS/HIV advocacy, colleges, crisis centers, and more are being told to pretend trans people don't exist or lose your funding... and many are choosing to pretend!

BREAKING: Nonprofits sue over Trump's anti-diversity, anti-trans executive orders, alleging they violate the First Amendment & equal protection guarantees, are void for vagueness, exceed the president's authority, & violate the Administrative Procedure Act. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The terms of the Executive Orders are extraordinarily vague and could prohibit Plaintiffs from engaging in any targeted effort to help a specific group of people facing unfair disadvantages. The Executive Orders equate banned "DEIA" with any equity-related work— potentially including work that is specifically authorized or required by civil rights laws-and explicitly prohibit references to "DEI and DEIA principles, under whatever name they may appear." Without any discernible standards or criteria of what is and what is not "dangerous, demeaning," "immoral," and "illegal" DEIA,' as understood by this Administration, the future of Plaintiffs' fiscal viability and programming are subject to the unfettered discretion of an Administration that has made clear its predisposition against any speech or action that advances equal opportunity for historically marginalized groups, including people of color, women, LGBTQ people, and/or people with disabilities. Such vague terms without sufficient standards or criteria deprive Plaintiffs of their due process rights under the Fifth Amendment. 9. In addition to violating Plaintiffs' free speech and due process rights, the Executive Orders have a clear discriminatory purpose in violation of equal protection: to malign the targeted communities; to undermine and dismantle a wide spectrum of policies, programs, and activities intended to help historically marginalized, underserved, and under-resourced groups; and to erase transgender people from public life. REQUEST FOR RELIEF Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court grant the following relief: A. A declaration pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2201 that Executive Order Nos. 14151, 14168, and 14173 and any implementing agency actions are unlawful, unconstitutional, and invalid. A permanent injunction enjoining Defendants, their officials, agents, employees, assigns, and all persons acting in concert or participating with them from implementing or enforcing Executive Order Nos. 14151, 14168, and 14173, including without limitation the promulgation of any rules or regulations, in any manner against Plaintiffs by way of contract, subcontract, purchase order, grant, or sub-grant. C. A permanent injunction mandating that Defendants permanently rescind all agency-wide directives implementing and effectuating Executive Order Nos. 14151, 14168, and 14173 against Plaintiffs that were issued prior to this injunction. D. A permanent injunction mandating that Defendants unwind, rescind, strike, modify, or otherwise rectify contracts, subcontracts, agreements, and/or any other such binding documents entered into with Plaintiffs, in which terms, clauses, or provisions have been inserted pursuant to or in furtherance of Executive Order Nos. 14151, 14168, and 14173.

Baby's first sewing project! I got this patch at a protest last summer, and had been wearing my jacket with it safety pinned on 😅
Now it's sewn on, and I added these patches of sashiko embroidery. Can't wait to see how it turns out when the stencils wash away!

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler
From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

1. On Friday, protests erupted at Stonewall National Monument, the historic site of the Stonewall uprisings that ignited the modern gay rights movement, in response to the National Park Service removing transgender people from the Stonewall Website.

Was finally able to attend Sacred Stillness, facilitated by Alé at Heartfelt Yoga. The practice was even more beautiful than I anticipated. Here is a little bit of my view of the co-created altar, and I draft I wrote inspired by the class. Thank you, Alé!

In my years of reporting on LGBTQ news this was by far the hardest.

But we are still here. You made it to Friday. You lived. Good job. That wasn’t easy.

Through a diversity of tactics, we will continue to live.

Rest up, drink water, find community, so that we can all be here tomorrow too.

I promise you it is far more effective to say what they are actually doing and calling them what they actually are then spewing ableist slurs and rhetoric that only serve to reinforce ableism/abled supremacy and stigmatize and oppress disabled people.
