I'm not sure it qualifies as a meme, exactly, but I did the art, and not the words. (Original text from @MicroSFF on Twitter)

You can just lure them inside with wet food!

We saw this absolutely SCRUNGLY little thing with a paw on our back door, but she bolted when she saw us. I lured her out of hiding with some wet food and a bowl, giving her small amounts at a time and gradually moving it closer to our back porch. She was entirely too young and hungry to be outside (she ate 2 whole cans of wet food at once. Even our fattest of cats are satisfied with one), so we made a plan to trap her. The trap turned out to not be necessary as she got bold after a week and let me sit with her and even pet her a bit! She did get startled and slash me up a little bit (rabies shots are ASS) but she is a sweetheart. Since she kept coming to the door we decided to quarantine our other cats and open it and lure her in with food. It eventually worked and we have her quarantined in the bathroom for now. Sadly we already have 5 cats and their politics are already complicated enough, but we found her a forever home with someone who will spoil her rotten.

It seems like, that the longer I am aware of me being trans I keep unlocking new forms of Dysphoria. I never really had any problems with my deadname, but now it does hurt a little bit when hearing it from other people, because im not officially out to them. Today I also realised that apparently I know hate seeing hairs on my arms, which was never a problem before. Hearing my voice also gets progressively worse. What the fuck is this? Why cant I not feel shittier as time goes on. I am on my way to transition, my body could decide to not make my life shit in the process.

Zee Pepper, a trans and aboriginal man in Melbourne, Australia, is speaking out after experiencing allegedly blatant transphobia in a restaurant at the start of Pride Month. [...] Pepper was dining at the Soho restaurant in Australia’s second city with his mother and stepsister when he went to use the restroom. He opted for the unisex handicapped bathroom, as he usually does when there’s a choice between unisex and men’s bathrooms.

Four drag performers were greeted with applause when they showed up to opening night of Les Misérables at the Kennedy Center on Wednesday, while President Donald Trump arrived to a mixture of boos and cheers from the crowd.

My neighbor and his wife like to give my boys treats and pets, but the fence made it hard. ❤️

He cut a window added hinges and a latch so he could pet the dogs.

I picked up a crowdfunding flyer for the movie at pride last weekend, so I had to check out the manga as well. It's four poignant short stories featuring trans girls at various stages of their transitions. The author is of course trans and the characters are spot on. The physical presentation of the book is very nice too, on thick paper with a pink, white and blue glitter on the cover.

Apparently the stories have been around on the net for a little while, so maybe there is an English translation out there somewhere?

Anyway, ¥1815 well spent. I recommend it if you read Japanese and can get hold of a copy.

The Daggerheart license ("Darrington Press Community Gaming License") contains several questionable clauses.

This funding will expand Lambda Legal’s capacity, helping the organization fight against immediate threats to LGBTQ+ people in the courts, win new rights and protections, and prepare a defense for the future. By the end of 2026, the organization will build up its legal team by 42%, growing from 36 to 51 members, effectively expanding the organization’s case docket capacity by 86%.

Lambda Legal is stretching its dollars to the maximum to meet the moment, and continued support will go toward critical strategic and expanded legal action. Already, the organization is in court fighting back, litigating for the rights and dignity of LGBTQ+ communities all the way up to the United States Supreme Court.

This includes:

• Arguing in front of the Supreme Court to force an end to anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, including the United States v. Skrmetti case.
• Litigating six separate cases against the current Trump administration for its anti-LGBTQ+ policies and executive orders targeting transgender rights and inclusion in the military, access to HIV medication and gender-affirming care, and DEI.
• Maintaining an impressive 86% success rate against the last Trump administration.

Of the $285 million raised by Lambda as part of the Unstoppable Future campaign, 30 percent — roughly $80 million — is available as current-use cash to support strategic growth. The remaining 70 percent are long-term legacy commitments from donors that will help ensure the organization’s continued growth and protect the future rights of the LGBTQ+ community

I'm keeping an eye out for it. We first saw it on our way out to dinner. And I didn't see it when we came back about an hour later. Hopefully mama found it and got it home. It was barely bigger than a softball. I already know of a rehabber collective that I will call if I do see it again.

Furryosa lovin'.

This guy is a queer anthem machine!
