Dear queer Usonians,
Celebrate this year’s pride like it was the last one. I want to be wrong about this one.
pride
More #trans people will be born. They’ll be your children and grandchildren. They’ll learn our history. And they’ll learn what you did or didn’t do, when we needed you.
A HARRY POTTER FAN'S GUIDE TO NAVIGATING PRIDE MONTH
STOP reading the books
STOP watching the movies
STOP buying the merch
STOP playing the games
STOP fucking talking about it
STOP engaging with this franchise altogether
PERMANENTLY
every dollar and every moment you spend towards the harry potter fandom gives it and by extension transphobia space in our cultural consciousness and harms trans people directly
KNOCK IT THE FUCK OFF

Pride Month starts today and why it matters to me.
I didn't come out to a soul until I was 51. Not because I didn't know but because it was a part of me I squashed down. I came out as Queer because the label gave me room to breathe after years of telling myself I was bi but never fully embracing it. I'm honestly still unsure whether I was protecting myself because it felt "safer" to believe a lie or if there was a kernel of truth in it. But since coming out, the "gay part" of me has been the loudest by leaps and bounds.
The real me finally getting sunlight or some kind of Queer Rumspringa after years of repression? Possibly both. What I do know is this: I would have figured it out a lot sooner if I’d lived in a world that didn't fear difference.
I'm not great at writing these sorts of personal posts, but I’ve felt especially introspective after just losing a childhood friend. The second in the past year. One was gay, but still neither knew this part of me until the very end. And that’s not enough.
So here’s to Pride, whether you came out at 14 or 94. Love to all of you, and a knowing wink to the ones who didn’t take the direct road to their truth. Not late. Not broken. Not alone.
Whether the weather be dreich or fair, my luve,
if guid times greet us, or we hae tae face the worst,
ahint and afore whit will happen tae us:
blind in the present, eyes open to the furore…

It’s #pride month! And that means it’s time for my annual offer: if you don’t have a father who is proud of you and your 100% authentic self, then fuck him. I’m your dad now. You are doing an amazing job kiddo. You keep being you. I’m proud of you.

Its no secret that historically XMPP has done/is doing a bad job as an ecosystem and protocol to develop features that aid 2SLGBTQIA+ people to be their true selves or protect them from abuse.
With Pride Month happening we are taking the next step after creating our own CoC and advocating for CoCs to be adopted. Historically 2SLGBTQIA+ people have been "advisors" or just an opinion to listen to.

Today is #WorldBicycleDay so I went for a #Tallbike ride around around with @objo and @erlendloe. We have cycled together a few times but always on unicycles previously. So this was a bit special, since we had three extra wheels.
Also, since it is Pride Month, we have some #Pride flags as well.

I made a short video to celebrate the start of Pride month.
This is the animated version of the Queen-cover to "A Day At The Races" from 1976, with some additions and surprises.
as we find a way to wipe your armpit
without lifting your arm up and away
you say, you’ve never seen me so (I forget
the word you use and replace it with close
as in, we’ve never been so close) and I say
I was thinking that…
