When I conceived of what we'd do at the @hashtagopen booth @DykeDayLA, I wanted to show folx just how many choices you have and how many different people are in the #hashtagopen app community. People stopped by for some cold water, swag...1/6 Image
And if they wanted to they could choose hashtag paddles and pose in front of our backdrop. Yes, it was lots of fun, but it was also a really moving experience for me. When people approached the table full of hashtag paddles, some snapped up one or more right away...2/6 Image
...while others went through each and every one methodically. Some folx said "Oh my God! That's me!" when they found one (like #queerandasian #femmebottom #demisexual #hardfemme #homoflexible #latinxpride #QTPOC). 3/6 Image

This #PrideMonth please remember that if your Pride event isn’t accessible, affordable, & inviting to trans people, non-binary folks & people of color then it’s not for the entire LBGTQIA community.
This means wheelchair accessibility. This means ASL interpreters. This means NO COPS. This means gender neutral restrooms. This means hosts who don’t make racist, sexist, ableist, transphobic, fatphobic or classist jokes.
Vet your venue. Vet your people. Make Pride great for all of us. Except straight people. Pride isn’t for straight people. (I mean, you can come I guess, but I’m not interested in making Pride comfortable for heteros. Don’t @ me on this)

I don’t have all the words for it yet, but if you don’t have Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha (@brownstargirl)’s new book Care Work, you need to go buy it right now. Now. Especially if you are disabled or a person of color or a femme or all of the above. It is...exceptional.
It reminds me of the intensely political, personal, fierce, healing writing of 80s WOC feminists like Audre Lorde & Gloria Anzaldúa. This book is intellectually & emotionally powerful. I’m buying copies for friends. I’m so blown away, so moved—truly a game changing collection.
