Sometimes a friend texts asking if you have plans for the next afternoon; and you make sure the answer is “no.”
I, for one, applaud popular children’s retailer The Children’s Place for its commitment to body positivity.
Got to visit @helioscopepdx.bsky.social’s new digs and see @stevelieberart.bsky.social’s excellent nameplate in person!

RALLY AND TESTIFY FOR A FULL MORATORIUM ON "AI" IN NYC SCHOOLS! Tomorrow (6/24) at City Hall Rally at 12 PM Joint Education and Technology hearing at 1 PM Register to testify at the hearing here: council.nyc.gov/testify/
This sign has to have been produced byAI; but it also definitely has to have been approved by at least one human who reads English, right?
“I’ll be fine if I just follow the pattern,” said Jay. “It seems pretty clear.”
If you find yourself in NYC with wee kids, I cannot recommend the Children’s Museum of Manhattan highly enough. @teaberryblue.net
deeply obsessed with the handspun yarn that just came in the mail from @deuceofgears.eurosky.social. The real challenge is going to be stopping petting and admiring it for long enough to do the knitting that’s my half of the trade!
now that i have you looking, here are some shirts that are not specifically queer but are actually still pretty queer (i guess that's true of some of the above, too) www.teepublic.com/user/chekhov...
If you're looking for queer & trans-designed pride merch sans rainbows, my teepublic shop is currently hella on sale: www.teepublic.com/user/chekhov...
It absolutely makes contextual sense as a description; but I really gotta find a way to get kiddo to stop referring to this children’s TV character as “a big hooker.”
