"Quick, strike a pose! To help celebrate #Pride month, we’re running a photo drive to the #WordPress Photo Directory and offering up some cash prizes as a bonus. The funding for the prizes are proudly powered by Queeromattic, the collection of queers within Automattic."
Target is scaling back LGBTQ+ merchandise this year after "right-wing backlash" last year. It can couch this decision in all the research-supported logic it wants, but it's still a capitulation to bigots. #Target is betting those of us who support equity will be more accepting of this decision than bigots will of the retailer carrying #Pride products. Those who care need to raise their voices and make their wishes heard by curtailing their spending at Target.
To celebrate Aplatonic Visibility Day I tried painting a still life with apples.
I like the end result but the painting process was way more stressful then I imagined it to be. I guess round shapes are not as easy as they look. 😄
I like the color scheme though! It's almost exclusively painted with just three colors: A red (cadmium red), a yellow (lemon yellow PY3) and a blue (deep blue PB60).
#Target, you're confusing a signal with noise. This is not how you deal with #fascists, #racists, and #transphobes: "The reaction is a signal for us to pause, adapt and learn so that our future approach to these moments balances celebration, inclusivity and broad-based appeal," Christina Hennington, Target's chief growth officer, said last summer."
Było pięknie jak zawsze.
Zrobiliśmy po Łodzi kilka ładnych kilometrów w doborowym towarzystwie, ze skoczną muzyką, pełni miłości i tolerancji.
Marsze Równości to wspaniałe wydarzenia, które pokazują że Polacy potrafią dobrze się bawić podczas marszy bez nienawistnych haseł i podpalania cudzych mieszkań.

#Exeter#Pride today, and one of the many things I love about Pride (and indeed Halloween) is how it makes the quotidian just a little bit creatively weird. Just saw three extremely fabulous drag queens, all corsets and sparkles with hair as tall as their heels doing some extremely mundane shopping in Boots.
If the same people go after trans rights, gay + lesbian rights and women's rights, and if these people are always traditionalists working in the cause of a strictly defined social conservatism, then isn't the problem that a patriarchy wants to control the sexual lives and gender expressions of others, to restrict personal freedoms and to create incarcerating and incarcerated lives?
