You Have to Have Hope

Trump took a swipe at trans youth last night. Makes me hope the person who wrote this graffiti is still alive and around in Boston.

 

 

This Week's Friendly Reminder

Trans people are being erased, and they won't stop there. 

Small Favors

The graffiti spot I've been chronicling is still wiped out, but at least this bit of graffiti is still around around  year later.

People in our lives are going to need our help more than ever.

I try not to post memes, but this was too good to resist. The quote is canon too!

More of what we can't forget in this election.

Here's a sticker maybe(?) leftover from Pride Month. I'm counting it for pride.

Again, I love Provincetown stickers. The Shiva image is a nice touch.

I Keep Wondering...

Was this painted in trans Pride colors on purpose or by accident?

This Week's Friendly Reminder

Pride Month is almost over, but you can still do your part simply by not being a complete lunatic to gay and/or trans people. It's a low bar, true, but to not be an a-hole puts you above far too many people these days.

A Small Act of Defiance

In a world where the "other side" sports Blue Lives Matter flags that take up the side of a house, I'm sure this small 2023 Pride flag near Kenmore Square would offend someone if they saw it.

Still going with Pride themed posts this June. Loved this picture outside Comicopia.

Knew I'd be using this guy one more time for Pride Month.

A more bumper sticker style message from the graffiti activist featured last week.

Seems Inevitable

At the rate we're going I'm just waiting for the child bride couple that Mike Moon knows so well to fly a plane into this building. And too much of the country will cheer unironically.

This Week's Friendly Reminder

I like this new sticker graffiti canvasser.

A Moment of Comics

In solidarity with trans lives, let's reprint that scene from Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century where Mary Poppins is about to turn Harry Potter into a puddle.

Your Wednesday Morning Poetry

Continuing to focus on trans authors in light of the tragedy of the Nashville shooting and the horrific backlash that sadly warrants as much attention as much as the lost lives. Here is a poem by H. Melt published in The Chicago Reader. Read "At the Chicago Marathon." 

Protect Trans Health

A couple of weeks back, there was a Protect Trans Health rally. And there was this guy (who I pixeled here) yelling things like "You were born with it, stay with it!" Off camera, he was yelling "You're not human!"

Because of people like this, I hope you'll consider taking action and clicking here to protect trans health.
