I must add that she was a Bisexual Polyamours BDSM-advocate Leather Momma, and we stan Brenda Howard. For all those ones that say something like "polyamory and/or kink don't have a place in pride". Know your heroes.

Bisexual activist Brenda Howard (known as "Mother of Pride") organized the first Pride March one year after Stonewall, and later came up with the concept of "Pride Week". Despite her pivotal role, she is routinely erased to the extent that most LGBTQ people don't know about her.

One thing I'm enjoying this #PrideMonth is there is not as much "love is love" as "trans people exist", and "trans people are loved". Because remember, yes pride is celebratory, but above all, Pride is the reminder of the struggle and the fight against an oppressive system.

Remember that we are strong together, and when someone shouts LGB without the T to tell them to return to the cave they came from. Trans and NB people have been part of the movement since the very beginning, and we won't let them be singled out. Together we are stronger.

Right, a bit off-topic here, but this Saturday will mark my first attempt at being a DM for a #dnd5e one-shot campaign I've come up with, and I'm not gonna lie - kind of like freaking out (s***ting myself more like). So any piece of advice, words of encouragement are appreciated

In the current situation, where attacks on the LGBTQ+ community are on the rise, where our rights are being rolled back, where we (and especially trans and NB folks) are being seriously mistreated... I want to wish you all a happy #IDAHOBIT

Who would have guessed that after struggling with bioreactors in my undergrad I was going to end up talking about them on camera!?
