did kendrick intentionally reassemble the u.s. flag as the trans flag? was it a reminder that no matter what the nazis in power want you to believe, there is no u.s.—no country—without trans people? 1/4
screenshot of a reddit post of an image in the lgbt reddit community titled “Trans flag during Super Bowl halftime show.” The image is screengrab of Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show from an aerial perspective. In the center of the image, a mass group of dancers dressed in red white and blue to represent the u.s. flag have regrouped by color to match the pattern of the trans pride flag instead of the u.s. flag. The dancers are spotlighted by intense white spotlights, making their costumes appear to be lighter blue and pinkish red. The flag dancers are flanked by more dancers standing still on top of small stages shaped like a square, triangle, x-symbol, and circle.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”

They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids.

Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

I have the kind of anxiety/PTSD that manifests as “if I stare into the darkness and watch it constantly I can somehow ward off danger.”

This is not accurate.

If you, like me, are staring into the void hoping to outmaneuver it…go do something else.

One of the most cited reasons that domestic violence victims don’t leave their abusers is because they don’t have anywhere to take their pets.
motherjones.com Mother Jones @motherjones.com · Jun 6
Tucked inside the 1,200-page appendix to the White House’s budget request to Congress is a proposal to eliminate a grant program that provides domestic violence shelters with money to support survivors’ pets.

So yeah, Republicans want to ban survivors' pets from domestic violence shelters.

Gender affirming medical care isn't always available, but with his tattoos @jockbuns.bsky.social can mold his body to create what he wants to see in the mirror. Read about his relationship with his body art in this beautiful comic from our archive.
www.ohjoysextoy.com/i-just-got-t...
Today's autobiographical comic is written and drawn by JOCKBUNS, who described himself for today's transcription as; male with he/him pronouns, of a short, chubby tattooed, hairy, trans man body with top surgery scars; a shape similar to that of a Bear! This transcriber (me, Matthew, hi-hello!) will add that he appears white, with brown hair, and wears thin white round glasses. The comic is colored in oranges, browns, and teals with big white breaks in between panels, which helps give the narration nice beats and pauses. The vibe lends the comic an air of intimacy and friendliness Page 1 Opens with JOCKBUNS (whose professional name is capitalized, but I don't want text-to-speech to shout-it-out so will refer to him as JB going forward) in bed, half nude, wearing a beanie, as he gesticulates towards an old wire TV. His left arm is all wrapped up in a bandage. JB - I just got tattooed! And my arm is all wrapped up, so I can’t draw much. JB pulls out his Nintendo Switch. He takes a moment to think to himself, and the camera pulls in on his face. We see JB standing in front of a mirror, wearing a neckerchief and tight underwear. His tummy and body are on display as if being seen in a mirror. JB - The downtime got me thinking… about the relationship between my body confidence in my tattoos. Page 2 JB is now on display as a nude life model, flexing his muscles in front of all the students, narration supports the visual. JB - My tattoos have been a transformative tool for my self-confidence. The camera zooms in on jocks arms, thick and heavy with tattoos abound. JB - Allowing me to replace the negative energy I felt toward my body with positive. He closes his eyes, and emanating from him is the words 'I love myself' with sparkles as the students continue their studies. Next, we see JB lying on a bed in a tattoo artist shop with shorts and socks on he’s lifting his hand up in a thumbs up. A word balloon creeps away from him in a skull and crossbones shape, inside it is the words 'Worth it.' Page 3. We're somewhere else again, a more abstract place - on the wall is a flyer with an illustration of JB's chest without the surgery he's since had. Next to it is the words 'For Sale, Titties: No Longer Wanted' JB supports the visual with some narration: Gender-affirming medical care isn’t always available. JB - And can take a long time to access even when it is We see a calendar with '732 days' on it next to the words 'without a mustache' and a sad face emoji. JB - I see my tattoos as a sort of additional or alternative therapy. A way of molding my body that I am in control of. He's back in front of a mirror, using a sharpie to draw onto the glass, so the drawings appear on his body. He’s got a devious grin on him, as he says, 'Perfect!' We’re back in the tattoo artist's parlor. The walls are littered with beautiful little illustrations as a burly artist leans over and continues his trade on JB. Tattoo Artist - Looks rad! JB gets up and looks at the new tattoo on his ankle, in a mirror, giving himself a thumbs up with sparkles. Page 4 We're shown a full wall of the tattoo artist parlor, as JB looks at the art. Every inch of the wall is framed illustrations, some of horses, others of hearts and suns and moons, and even swords and cats; all kinds of amazing stuff. Underneath this is some narration from JB JB - I used to struggle with body image issues a lot. My dysphoria made me feel like my body wasn’t mine. It was always against me. I didn’t find it beautiful. We see three rapid panels back to back. Jock shows us his left forearm with a big horseshoe tattoo on top of which is a banner, saying 'Stay Lucky', the tattooed looks imagined and not-yet-real, or a work-in-progress. The neckerchief, half nude JB continues to study himself in the mirror, holding up a phone with an illustration on it to his body he considers the art. Then we see him scrolling through an artist's portfolio on their Instagram with the words Flash Sale. Underneath these panels is some narration: JB - The realization I could get colors, artwork, and imagery I love permanently slapped on my body was a game changer! JB goes to work on his tablet, behind him are floating tattoo ideas one of a snake and another of a dragon, the ideas floating around.

We're so happy the new Large size Sensi vag plug is so loved! This week it's actually outselling the Small size.

What's another Uberrime model you wish had a larger size option?
A large vaginal plug balanced upright on its base. The base is too narrow for safe anal use. The plug itself has a broad head, a girthy almost ovular body, and a thinner 'neck' leading into the base. A Large Sensi pictured in side profit. Its head has a defined bump to it that extends nearly as far out as the girthy swell of its shaft/'belly'. Another Large Sensi vaginal plug.

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.
Bike_pimp88 • 21h ago 10:48 ..• U.S. Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC 20528 04/11/2025 Notice of Termination of Parole it is time for you to leave the United States. You are currently here because the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) paroled you into the United States for a limited period. Pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1182(d)(5)(A) and 8 C.F.R. § 212.5(e), DHS is now exercising its discretion to terminate your parole. Unless it expires sooner, your parole will terminate 7 days from the date of this notice. If you do not depart the United States immediately you will be subject to potential law enforcement actions that will result in your removal from the United States - unless you have otherwise obtained a lawful basis to remain here. Any benefits you receive in the United States connected with your parole - such as work authorization — will also terminate. You will be subject to potential criminal prosecution, civil fines, and penalties, and any other lawful options available to the federal government. DHS encourages you to leave immediately on your own. You can use the CBP Home mobile app on your phone to make arrangements for your departure. If you are departing the United States via land, you should report your departure once outside the United States via that same app. If you are having trouble reporting your departure via land, visit https://194.cbp.dhs.gov/home for more information about voluntarily reporting your departure. Again, DHS is terminating your parole. Do not attempt to remain in the United States - the federal government will find you. Please depart the United States immediately.

FYI, the tariffs are going to increase the cost of sex toys.

I received this today from Crave:
Before Our Pricing Increases To our CRAVE Community, The world feels a little uncertain right now, and for a small business like ours, it just got a bit more complicated. We’re a women-led team devoted to beauty, quality, and thoughtful design. While we do all design, quality control, and assemble some products at our micro-factory in San Francisco, we also work across a global supply chain. Many of our key components and products also come from China, which is often the only viable supply chain. Due to new tariffs imposed on goods originating from China, we’re facing significant cost increases. This sweeping policy shift is affecting many small businesses, and for us, it means confronting a tough but necessary reality. If these conditions persist (especially at the 145% tariff rate), we’ll need to raise our prices—and possibly double them. But fortunately, we’re not there yet. After the election, we had anticipated this disruption and have done all we can to build up our stock. For the moment, we’re able to keep prices unchanged. But, owing to the extreme tariffs and their apparent likelihood of being maintained, it is unclear how long we can keep our current pricing. If you’ve been eyeing something, now is the time. We care deeply about how our products are made—and about being honest with you along the way. As we navigate what’s next, we’ll continue to be transparent with you via email and social media. Thank you for believing in and choosing CRAVE.
