Went up north for the weekend, and I was able to get some pretty pictures of the night sky!

I have concert hangover today! The Zach Bryan concert was AMAZING! The alumni association even put out the seat cushions for student tickets, so we got the VIP bench seat experience! I am so grateful every day that I get to be on this awesome journey. Go Blue!

More than bad, it was horrific. This only triggers the right because they want to go back to it.

Drove with the #MichiganProgrssiveMotorcyclists today to the Tun-Up Festival in Ypsi. It was my first ride with a big group! I had the absolute BEST TIME! I love getting to show off my Royal Enfield wherever we go. She is so pretty!

Because it is my birthday today, I, Princess Crystal, declare that all my friends should send me cute pictures of animals, mythical creatures, or funny memes.

I will not be engaging in any politics today, only fun things like glitter and unicorns.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Needed a break from all the chaos in the world, so I decided it was time for some doodling.

🤣🤣🤣 This is the best response! I absolutely love it!
Screenshot of a social media comment and reply. The first post is from Daniel Lawson, handle @DanielLaw1998: “Disabled parking should only be valid during business hours 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. I cannot see any reason why people with genuine disabilities would be out beyond these times.” The reply comment is from Jennifer Lee Rosman, handle @JenLRossman: “We’re disabled, Daniel, we’re not werewolves”

This is an accurate portrayal of my face if you interrupt my reading. If I’m reading, it’s better to just leave me alone.

“But, Crystal, you’re always reading!”

I said what I said.

Picture of a man with long dark hair and a book in his hand with a look of frustration and irritation on his face. There are words printed at the top of the picture that say “When you’re reading and someone tries to talk to you”.

Can we bring this back, please?
Social media post by Tobias Bradick on April 10th at 12:48am that says “If little girls sang this while skipping today, boys would learn fast not to touch girls.” With a photo of a thorny flowered plant with a poem that reads “I have a deadly nightshade So twisted does it grow With berries black as midnight And a skull as white as snow The vicar’s cocky young son Came to drink my tea He touched me without asking Now he’s buried ‘neath a tree.” And then below the poem it reads “Trad. Girls’ ‘Skipping Rhyme’ from Chokely in Wynterset”

I left the Catholic Church years ago, but God Bless this man for his understanding and compassion. THIS is what Christianity should look like.

The workers ABSOLUTELY want it. Make no mistake. Quit trying to gaslight the American people, you tiny orange twatwaffle.

Also, Juneteenth is an absolutely NECESSARY holiday. Maybe go reflect on why you are so against it.

#heisasociopath #resist #impeach
Social media screenshot from Donald J. Trump. It reads: “Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed. The workers don’t want it either! Soon we’ll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year. It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Decorated my fence for Pride! The young child next door helped, and they did a great job!

Yesterday was amazing! My husband and I had the opportunity to ride with the Michigan Progressive Motorcyclists in the Motor City Pride Parade! It was such an amazing day, and I can’t wait for next year. It was such a wonderful and inclusive experience!

For those who were wondering…..

(P.S. Typing all the alt text was exhausting, but important. I don’t always remember to do it, but I will keep trying to remember each time! Make sure you do too.)
Poster that reads “Why isn’t there a straight pride? Because… The first picture in the first row is of people marching in a parade with the words “Every day is straight pride” under it. The second picture is a judge sitting at the bench in court with the words “being straight was never illegal” under it. The third picture is of a homeless person begging for change with the words “no one got kicked out for coming out straight” under it. The fourth picture is of someone in jail with the words “no one got jailed for being straight” under it. The first picture in the second row is of a person at a podium stand with the words “no one has to come out as straight” below it. The second picture is of a couple getting married with the words “no one protests straight weddings” below it. The third picture is of a therapist sitting in a chair with the words “there is no straight conversion therapy” below it. The fourth picture is of the feet of a deceased person with their body covered with a white sheet with the words “no one is killed for being straight” below it. The first picture in the third row is of two hands holding with the words “straight hand holding is safe” below it. The second picture is of a person sitting on a bench with the words “no one asks if being straight is a phase” below it. The third picture is of a child crying and covering their eyes while a bunch of fingers are pointed at them with the words “no one outed straight kids” below it. And the fourth and final picture is of a stack of books with the words “straight history is not being erased” below it.
