I know many of you depend on my boosting for a curated "best of the Fediverse" feed. And normally I enjoy providing that.
But recent events, especially politics, are taking a toll. It's very difficult to read not just the news itself but your reactions to it.
I'm dealing with a LOT of existential dread right now. As are many of my #trans siblings. And mental health comes first.
So, you may notice the firehose slow to a trickle. Or even stop for awhile.
Thank you for understanding. ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ

Reform canvasser caught saying migrants should be used for 'target practice'
Nigel #Farageโs #Reform UK are facing criticism after a campaigner was filmed saying small boats migrants should be used as โtarget practiceโ one week out from the General Election.
An undercover Channel 4 reporter recorded one canvasser describing the #Pride flag as a โdegenerateโ ensign and suggesting members of the #LGBT+ community are #paedophiles.

Breaking news: We've taken the next step to challenge the ban on puberty blockers
We have asked for an urgent hearing that will seek to quash the ban. It is clear that this ban is having a devastating - and harmful - impact on young trans people and we do not believe that waiting is an option.

LGBT History lesson!
There have been a lot of events peppered throughout history that were frog leaps toward #LGBT rights. These led up to the full on push in the 1970s that brought gay rights into the U.S. national conversation. These radical acts began the decades long push toward LGBT equality and social change.
The big one was the Stonewall Uprising but did you know there was a riot that happened almost three years prior to #Stonewall ?... the Riot at Compton's Cafeteria. Stonewall is often thought of as the event that started the modern gay rights movement but Compton's was equally important.
The Riot at Compton's Cafeteria happened in August of 1966 in San Fran's Tenderloin District. And why did this happen?... because #ACAB Drag queens and trans women had finally had enough.
The first #Pride was a riot!

The idea that seeing or talking about LGBTQ+ themes in books poses a threat to children or society goes back to medieval times.
Records of queer people and their lives from the Middle Ages are more plentiful than many people realize, but writings about the history were censored by religious leaders.
