I came of age as AIDS was beginning to overtake my community. It was terrifying to watch leaders, from Reagan on down, ignore it because, in their words, "it was killing all the right people"
Why am I surprised that they still want us dead?
I don't know who I can trust anymore
That's where I'm at rn

I fought for treatment and respect for members of my community that were dying from a deadly virus while republicans laughed, the US president dismissed us, and religious leaders condemned us.
I'm witnessing my #transgender siblings demonized, demoralized, and targeted by a party obsessed with genitalia.
America just reelected a rapist and down ballot candidates who target minorities.
I'm tired.
I'm angry.
I'm stressed.
Don't fucking tell me to take a moment to breathe.

Congratulations America!

You elected a convicted felon, admitted sexual assaulter, sexual predator, and rap¡st.

A reminder to check your voter registration.

Republicans have been purging voter rolls across the United States. Please check yours BEFORE November so that you can correct any unforeseen problems.

For #WorldAIDSDay, I want to send love to all the LGBTQ folks who lived thru the Reagan/Bush years.
While countless friends and acquaintances died around us, and leaders did nothing, we organized and took care of our own. We survived, battle scars and all. ❤️‍🩹

Santa's a jerk 😄

The first friend I made after coming out was a transwoman. She was brutally murdered two years later.

Hillbillys in a Haunted House (1967)

A trio of country singers becomes stranded at a haunted mansion and gets mixed up with spies.

This movie doesn't even rise to B-movie status, but it does have a short country western concert at the end. 🤠

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)

It's Halloween night, and the Peanuts gang is busy dressing up in costumes, trick-or-treating, and bobbing for apples. Meanwhile, Linus waits for the Great Pumpkin to rise from the pumpkin patch and bring toys to all the children of the world. Could this be the year it finally appears?

Not to brag but I still have two bags of candy left for Trick-or-Treaters tomorrow. 🎃
