Jonathan Joss was an Indigenous, gay man who was murdered on the first day of Pride month as well as Indigenous History Month. He died protecting his trans husband. Homophobia and racism aren’t marks of the past, and this is a heart breaking reminder of that.

Praying for a safe journey back to the spirit world, Uncle ❤️‍🩹🦅

As a Greek, in response to the current controversy about Matt Damon being cast as Odysseus, I'd just like to share that one of the moments that changed my brain chemistry as a kid was reading a novelized version of the Odyssey and coming across the following description of Odysseus when Circe sees him for the first time and thinks he's hot: "his hair curled like a clematis and his eyes were very brown".

So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:

Excuse me???

you are right and you should say it.

Is this the face of a man who would put his own infant in front of a plow to avoid going to war?

Absolutely not

You know who would try that shit?

Is this the face of a man who would defy the very gods to get home to his wife?

You know who would defy the gods just to show he could get away with it?

Poem by the 12thc warrior poet Xin Qiji 辛棄疾, who was sidelined during peacetime, demoted, drifting through a decade of minor posts in remote lands.

Poetry, then, as that which is left unsaid.

“My, what a cool and lovely autumn.”

the day after tdov should be international try it out for a minute day. try on something you'd wear if you were trans (and nobody is saying you are), try out makeup for the first time (for the novelty), imagine what your name would be if you were to transition (and you don't have to), think of yourself with a different pronoun and imagine people casually referring to you that way (just because it's international try it out for a minute day). it's april first, who says it means anything. just try it out for a minute.

[mortalityplays]

happy try it out for a minute day

[mortalityplays]

no it does have to be for gender though. like I feel like that was made pretty implicit in the framing, premise, purpose and presented examples here. you can try out a new coffee order on may 19th or something. that's not my business.

in case you weren’t aware, the U.S. Supreme Court just ruled on March 31st 2026 (Transgender Day of Visibility) that statewide bans on conversion therapy in Colorado are illegal and a violation of “free speech”. This likely will impact other states as well.

Supreme Court says state bans on 'conversion therapy' violate counselors' free speech rights

California was the first state to prohibit "conversion therapy," which seeks to change the sexual orientation of minors.

girl who sat next to me at the coffee shop had that Tortured By Computer Work look in her eye so i turned to her and was like Are u doing research? and it turns out she (white) just started working as an indigenous liaison for an ecological wellness surveying company (hired bc she worked with the local nation for a year) so i was like OMG can i share resources with you. and whipped out my 1 million notes and academic papers on ethical Indigenous-settler relations/research and Indigenous perspectives on ecological restoration. she was like omg are u sure this is basically a whole course for free and i wanted to tear my shirt off liek YES!!!! I WANT TO PROMOTE LOW BARRIER EDUCATION TO ADVANCE DECOLONIZATION AND RECONCILIATION!!!!!!!!!!! STEP IN2 MY GOOGLE DOC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
