I’m a 41 year old guy who is gay. I’m a professional photographer and I travel quite a bit. I’m into photography, books, movies and electronics. I love a good series, especially crime dramas. I keep it real, but I’m also understanding. Let’s chat!

Pushback works, part gazillion:

"Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices."

How the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting Americans
The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

Reuters found that the Trump administration deported 37,660 people in its first month, around 20,000 fewer than Biden's average monthly removals.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Recently I have tried (uncertainly, cautiously) to add a Queer rights component to my first year history course, which of course has meant talking about Stonewall.

I also teach that history is the story that we choose to tell about ourselves. We have a strong, if awful, example happening now.

For the people in the NYC area.

There are protests today at noon at Christopher park to denounce the trans and queer erasure done by the Trump government to the history of Stonewall.

That petty muthafucher scrubbed "Transgender" and "Queer" from the Stonewall National Monument website 🤦🏻‍♂️

Stonewall in NYC is considered the birth place of the modern #LGBTQ rights movement

Marsha P Johnson, a transgender woman, was a legendary leader of that movement that sprang from Stonewall

I did bawl my eyes out crying. It was very emotional for me and I’m sure a lot of people. Art (film) that elicits any kind of emotional value is always “of value”!

What you can do today AND everyday!
Call your representatives in the House and Senate -
Local and Federal.
A call for each item you are outraged about.
Even if they are Republicans, they need to know how you feel.
One call daily to each....
Everyday a different subject.
💙 SHARE 💙

Been saying this a bit over the last few weeks, and will continue to shout it very loud - if you have students and ECRs from queer or other minorities in your cohort, collabs, team, and/or under your supervision, be sure to check in on them.

Take them out for coffee. Extend their deadlines. etc.
