It is Trans Day of Visibility.
I'm non-binary and I make clothes that reflect that. I prefer the label Queer as it fits my gender expression best. I've got a whole playlist of non-binary finery, here's just one example of one of my favourite things I've ever made.
Video is of the construction of a floral biker jacket.

Man, I thought we'd never have to hear from her again: "the Christian right has spent decades redefinining disagreement as persecution."

#Mainers in kayaks protest Chief Justice #JohnRoberts near his island home
by Stephen Betts, Midcoast Villager
July 19, 2025"#Kayakers who say they oppose the direction the U.S. Supreme Court has taken the country took to the water Saturday morning to protest near the seasonal home of Chief Justice John Roberts Jr.
"The flotilla launched its kayaks from the new public landing in Port Clyde and paddled a few hundred yards to Roberts’ home on Hupper Island.
"The chief justice and his wife Jane Roberts purchased the home in June 2006. He typically spends time at the seasonal home after the high court recesses for the summer. Their chief residence is in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
Signs voicing opposition to the #SupremeCourt’s rulings were brought in the kayaks, and others lined the waterfront."Signs referred to rulings that they said harm the #LBTQ community, the overturning of campaign spending limits for #corporations in the #CitizensUnited case in 2010, the overturning of a woman’s right to #abortion in 2022, and more recent rulings that grant the president immunity from actions taken while president.
"Organizer Susan MacNeil-Densmore said earlier this week she is affiliated with the organization #AudacityCAT (#CreativeActionTogether) which has been active locally working to resist #authoritarianism, but said the event was not really part of any specific organization."

Whereas #Pope Francis said, “Who am I to judge?” when asked about gay clerics, this new pope has expressed less welcoming views to #LBTQ+ people.
In a 2012 address to bishops, he lamented that Western news media and popular culture fostered “sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the gospel.”
It has also come to light that he covered up for pedophilic priests rather than tarnish the reputation of the church
Sadly, this is a giant step backwards

Although it isn't making even the fringes of the mainstream discourse surrounding the fascist GOP's election-rigging SAVE Act, the reality is that unless nazis with an eliminationist agenda towards trans people make some sort of exception, the bill will likely disenfranchise every trans person in America who has legally changed their name, and quite possibly most people who are in the process of transition and thus have ID that may be inconsistent with their presentation or other documents:
Federal Voter ID Bill Attacks Trans Voters — and Anyone Else Who Has Changed Their Name
"Much of the news coverage of the SAVE Act has focused almost entirely on the broad category of “married women” — a bloc of 69 million who may not have updated documents. But arguably, such a law is aimed directly at transgender people in addition to affecting married people who change their names. And that’s not to mention the 140 million U.S. citizens who don’t have passports and tens of millions who also don’t have easy access to a birth certificate. Regardless, the fact that trans people are at the center of this story has been easy to sideline: A story published by NPR last week listed eight things to know about this legislation — but didn’t mention the implications for trans people at all."
At this point can anyone who has been paying attention (a very small group indeed, as far as I can tell) claim to be surprised that trans-eliminationist nazis are trying to pass a law that further erases trans people from public life and social participation, yet most of American society hasn't even registered that as a potential consequence of this disastrous, anti-democratic bill? After all, when the president of the United States signed an executive order more or less saying that trans people didn't exist, which historically is a sure sign that a government intends to make that a reality, most Very Serious PeopleTM in our discourse shrugged and pointed to public polling as an excuse to not speak out to defend trans people. So why would this act of erasure and disenfranchisement be any different?
"Benfield is concerned that not naming trans people as a target of this legislation contributes to an insidious process that is ongoing: the erasure of trans people from public life in general.
“It’s going to affect lots of different kinds of people,” she said of the SAVE Act. “But the reason that the erasure of trans people worries me in this conversation is that it’s consistent with strategic erasure from the public sphere that’s already been happening.”
That strategic erasure includes President Donald Trump’s series of executive orders attacking so-called “gender ideology” and both state and national legislation that attempts to criminalize support for trans youth in physical and social transition. There are now only two genders — “male” and “female”— and anyone who falls outside of that could potentially face being pushed out of public life, including schools, sports, restroom facilities, and now voting itself. Even policies like Trump’s executive orders that aren’t immediately enforceable create a chilling effect, pushing trans people into the closet through intimidation."
I would hope that because it requires sixty votes in the Senate, the SAVE Act is a dead on arrival bill; but I can't say I'm all that confident in a Democratic Party that is openly blaming the results of an election they seemingly *tried* to lose on their (actually, nonexistent) support of trans rights, and its ability to protect people like me. Even if the SAVE Act is shot down however, the fact that this attempt at the mass disenfranchisement of trans people in American civic life doesn't even rate a talking point in this very public debate, strongly implies that when these bills only target trans people, the establishment "opposition" to the fascist agenda will continue to shrug, offer empty words of condolence, and simply let it happen; which is pretty much par for the course in the fascist Trump 2.0 era.
To say that living in a society where your rights and even your existence are not so much up for debate, but rather already judged to be either irrelevant, or non-existent, is surreal and unnerving, would be an understatement of massive proportions. I guess there is one upside here however, because if trans people can no longer vote, perhaps I'll finally be free of liberals who honestly don't give a rats ass about my life, screaming at me to support a Democratic Party that doesn't care whether I live or die, while pretending their party is a much better advocate for my right to exist, than they actually are.

"Was there some specific catalyst for her coming out and accepting who she truly was, or had she simply grown tired of hiding? I wish I’d asked her."
A beautiful homage, with an acknowledgment of regret, to Aunt Carol and the often difficult lives/tragic endings of older LGBTQ people.

#Twitter just #shadowbanned my PhD advisor Michael L. Nelson. He was covering how the wife of the US Speaker of the House had an anti-#LBTQ+ website and just took it down, but it’s still in #webarchives. Due to the #shadowban, we can view the tweets by URL, but cannot view the whole thread. He’s asked us to #retweet him in hopes of: (1) getting the word out about the shadowban, and (2) overcoming the shadowban (unlikely).

Angry parents are fighting back against Moms for Liberty's school board takeovers - LGBTQ Nation
"Moms for Liberty’s past activities include offering bounties for turning in teachers who discuss “divisive topics,” attacking the Trevor Project for trying to prevent LGBTQ+ teen suicide, trying to get a book about seahorses banned for being too sexy"

CW: PLPol, LGBTQ+
Where is this?
I know that PiS killed their bill back in 2015, in 2021(August) he said SSM was the top priority regardless of popularity, and reiterated in 2022 (June) that it was a matter of basic dignity above considerations of political repercussions.
The only "look at" I saw was transgender surgery -- which is still not good! but is not what you described here.
That would be a pretty major about-face for Tusk. Do you have a link for this statement?

Happy #pridemonth - if you're looking to read some #lbtq books, here are a bunch that I've discussed on my book blog:
https://outsideofacat.wordpress.com/tag/lgbt/
Now, more than ever, if you're not lbtqia+, please be an ally. Everyone should have their #humanrights respected. That does not require buying stuff with rainbows on them, it requires open eyes and the willingness to speak up when needed. #blog #writingcommunity #reading #bookstodon #bookblog #amreading

Hot on the heels of the gut-wrenchingly tragic #ColoradoSprings event, the slime known as the parliament of #Russia slyly now plays the #homophobia card. Really despicable and transparent play on mass psychology and emotional hot buttons that will backfire. Common sense=people gonna seek #freedom fuck your ancient obsolete moral codes from desert nomads & knuckle draggers. #LGBT #LBTQ #Ally #FuckPutin #UkraineWillWin #UkraineisWinning #Ukraine
