A lot of people are upset with Biden for declaring Easter to be Trans Day of Visibility, but to be fair, the date of was selected only because the LGBCalendar was already rather full.

The Trans Day of Visibility is March 31. Do not confuse this with the Trans Day of Remembrance, which is November 20.
We must also take care to honor Transgender Parent Day (Nov 6) Trans Awareness Week (Nov 13-19) and International Pronoun Day (Oct 20).

Trans is distinct from drag. International Drag Day is July 16.
But not everyone even HAS a gender to trans. Agender Pride Day is May 19. Intersex Awareness Day is Oct 26.

You can come out as any of these on National Coming Out Day, which is October 11.
Omnisexual Visibility Day is July 6 so mark your calendar for that. Bisexual Awareness Week ends on September 22 but jumps right into Bisexual Visibility Day which is September 23.
July 14 is International Non-Binary Day right in the middle of Non-Binary Awareness Week (July 11-17).

My personal favorite is Gay Uncle Day, August 14.
Aromantic folkx cannot be easily categorized because there are a lot of different TYPES of Aromantic people. Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week is Feb 20-26.

Asexuality is not the same as Aromanticism, so it gets its own day, which is April 6.
Speaking of April, we can’t forget the ladies! International Lesbian Visibility Day is April 26. Harvey Milk Day is May 22, and Stonewall Riots Day is June 28.
Pansexuality is widely misunderstood so it gets a few days - Pansexuality and Panromantic Visibility Day is May 24, but don’t forget Pansexual Pride Day, which is December 8.

Spirit Day is October 21 but I can’t remember what that’s for.
A lot of people confuse Pride
Month (June) with LGBT History Month (October). We must observe both though, as well as Bisexual Health Awareness Month (March), and Trans Awareness Month (November).
Human Rights Day is December 10 and World AIDS Day December 1. Don’t confuse either of these with HIV Survivors Day, which is June 5.
May 17 is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. You should also not be hateful on March 1, which is Zero Discrimination Day.

Discrimination is DEFINITELY not OK on the International Day of Silence, which is April 22.
So in sum, while Christians might be bent out of shape about Biden taking over Easter, you see that his hands were tied.

To be frank, Christians were being a bit greedy demanding two days - Easter and Christmas - to celebrate their guy. You’re not really leaving enough days on the calendar for the powerless and marginalized folks who never get enough attention.

Alright I'm angry. Jamal Khashoggi took money from Qatar to write columns for the Washington Post. Max Boot's wife took money from Korea and co-wrote his columns too.

Mehdi Hasan has been off and on Qatar's payroll his whole career.

Qatar invested $50M in Newsmax.

The Bidens are all on Ukraine's payroll and China's payroll. The NBA is also owned by China, which is why Steve Kerr and LeBron James spend so much time hating the US on their behalf.

China also apparently funds and staffs every high profile Democrat in the country.
Now we find out that Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, and Lauren Chen work for Russia (perhaps inadvertently).

China funded Bill Clinton for this whole Presidency. Iran hacked the Trump campaign in 2024. Russia hacked the Hillary campaign in 2016. Also in 2016, Russia promoted Bernie Sanders and Trump until Trump won, and then they started opposing Trump.

Russia organized an anti-Trump protest led by Michael Moore.

Lots of folks calling other people "weird" lately, and that's a real shame. Did you know that WEIRD Americans have actually contributed a lot to this country? Here are some of my favorites:

1. Jim Henson!

What kind of a grown man is obsessed with puppets?? Talk about WEIRD! But this hero went on to create the Muppets and entertain and educate generations of kids and adults alike. Thank you Jim!Image
2. Fred Rogers!

Fred is known for his famous TV show, but did you know that he was also a GIANT weirdo? It's true! After college, Fred went to seminary like a religious nutjob and became a minister for the world's dumbest religion (Presbyterianism). He also enjoyed swimming naked, the freak. We like you Fred, but you're WEIRD!Image
3. Albert Fish!

Albert - who also went by the nickname "Ham & Eggs" when he was confined to an orphanage, was scary weird! He was beaten at that orphanage, but this dude actually enjoyed it! What? He would go on to torture himself as well as others. He even attacked kids and ate them! Hey, nice hat, WEIRDO!Image

Anna Merlan has a long piece about how some people skeptical of public health officials during covid ended up going deep into conspiratorial thinking and disbelieving basic facts about AIDS.

But nowhere does she even consider the possibility that skepticism of public health messaging increased because officials set their own credibility on fire.
technologyreview.com/2024/08/07/109…
It's not even clear that the villains of her piece were wrong about covid (at least she doesn't try to make that case). She vaguely mentions that the bad guys had "fringe theories" about covid origins, vaccines, social distancing, and masks.

Maybe public health officials said inaccurate things about those topics too? Maybe?Image
IN ANY EVENT some of us actually believe in science and were LOUDLY encouraging public health officials to not set their credibility on fire in the name of political expediency, but we were ignored.

Not to be bitter but I remember having this very argument: public health is super important so it's really critical that you guys don't sacrifice your integrity forever just to win a news cycle! Ah well.

Keith Olbermann has called for Elon’s arrest so I thought I would do a thread of my favorite times Keith has demanded someone be arrested along with why he wants them locked up.

For serious though I think we're past the era where partisans see any benefit to submitting to debate and hard questions. In the old days, it was thought that politician and public both would benefit from the aggressive scrutiny of ideas because doing so would help find the truth
John Stuart Mill wrote about this - don't censor, don't hide from the testing and debate of ideas. If you're right, you can persuade; if not, it's good that the bad idea was identified. Hiding from debate showed that you were not confident in your own ideas.
But we're in an ALL MANIPULATION ALL THE TIME media environment now - arguments aren't advanced and then rebutted so much as we select an outlet with a constant stream of propaganda we prefer.
