This morning, an active shooter at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill murdered at least seven people, possibly more. Two responding officers have been wounded as well. The killer has not yet been apprehended and police are asking anyone in the immediate area to stay indoors.
Please keep Pittsburgh’s Jewish population in your thoughts, and continue to demand stronger action to keep weapons out of the hands of those who would commit hate crimes.
If you are local, the Central Blood Bank has experienced shortages recently and will surely benefit from your help. If you are able to donate, especially if you are a rare blood type, please go in and do so asap.
Things I like about this decal on a restaurant window:
-the insane orange waiter
-that he’s carrying his plates in the air like a strongman
-the couple looks like this isn’t the first time he’s done this, but it’s easier to just let it happen at this point.
-the sign says PASTA as if he’s screaming it like a frankenstein
-but he’s holding a plate of an entire chicken and a plate of wine glasses
-there’s three wine glasses
-one’s for him.
*hits blunt* a lot of trans people didn’t actually know their whole lives that they were transgender. plenty of us, with no frame of reference or proper education/exposure to LGBT stuff, had to go through a long process of self reflection and learning and experimenting first before finding the identity that most suited us. the narrative about always having known is real and valid for others, don’t get me wrong, but it also seems to be the one most easily digestible by cis folks who are reluctant to think about the countless different experiences of unique trans individuals
