First finished prototype of my new locking belt design to keep wandering hands out of pants. High quality Biothane strapping, fully waterproof, optional D ring for easy restraint. Next version will perfect the glossy finish.

Repost if you'd like one!

Just a reminder that anti-queer and anti-trans policies aren't actually popular.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

lol just now seeing this

Flyer reading:

California Ave is for CARS ONLY!

The best thing for our community is maximizing CAR STORAGE and CARS DRIVING on California! Join us in supporting cars over people!

The Farmer’s Market is already the WORST time of the week:
★ families strolling
★ kids playing
★ local businesses benefitting from all the foot traffic
DESPICABLE and frankly UN-AMERICAN!

And now there’s talk of extending that safe, quiet environment of community and human connection for the whole weekend! Who wants that? WE DON’T!

The ONLY thing our neighborhood’s most popular commercial corridor needs is TWO LANES of car storage and FOUR LANES of car traffic. There’s simply no room for anything else.

Together, we’ll keep California for CARS NOT PEOPLE!
Join us @ CarsOnlyCalifornia.com

At the ward 5 community meeting last night the opening of Junction Park came up.

Like many, I’m eager to enjoy it. The pause in work came from needing to remove contaminated soil (and getting the state permit the city needed to do that).

The hope is it opens in a month or two

Temporary Construction Pause

Construction work on Somerville Junction Park is currently on hold due to the need to remove contaminated soil. This process must comply with state regulations and requires approval from the Massachus...

Business idea: cargo bike Uber. You need a ride somewhere - book a ride in a cargo bike. Bike shows up, you hop on and get a ride to your destination.

Fare is free, but you are required to both listen to your driver talk about their bike and ask about their accessories for the duration of the ride.

UK-based tester wanted! Considering making a high quality Biothane chastity cage harness, as part of @beltbolt.co.uk development and as a separate product, and need someone I can post stuff domestically to.

You should be a long-term cage wearer, wearing a popular cage. DM me!

Actually @governor.ca.gov has until Friday to sign the bills.

Call his office and demand he sign them.

The hold times were long— they offer a VM option if you can't stay on. Let him know the political price he'll pay if he fails to stand up for a community under attack.

As others have said, it’s a losing strategy to “politically moderate” on folks’ humanity. The people who want this are a rounding error.

Stand up for people, be principled, call out fascists for what they are, and be a leader that we need in these dark times.

1. 4 months ago, The Supreme Court gave families a right to opt out of LGBTQ+ education in schools.

Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in.

Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right.

This has always been a extremely tiny screeching minority demanding that their bigotry dictate that no one else's children can learn of the existence of LGBTQ people.

To put it another way, I have represented thousands of people. I cannot think of a single instance in which the initial police report was entirely correct. Not one.

Journalists, please stop copying them down as if they were. Or at least give context re credibility!

Matthew Guariglia @mguariglia.bsky.social · 2d

Whether you're a casual news reader or a breaking news reporter at the NYTimes, I implore you--please, please, please--do not believe or report DHS/ICE/CBP's side of events uncritically. End the state's monopoly on legitimate storytelling. They are not the objective arbiter of what really happened.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.
