A friend on Facebook posted this pattern and I wanted to share with my sewing friends in the Fediverse:
Today is launch day for the Loud and Proud Zipper Pouch from K.Azcona Designs Patterns. 50% of the proceeds from the pattern are going to The Trevor Project.

Not going to watch Eurovision this year for the first time in many years.
With the competition’s latest rules on what flags participants can display on stage and in the green room I can’t say I’m having any second thoughts. It seems short-sighted to attack their most loyal fans.

This presenter doesn't do sarcasm very well. But he isn't on a comedy stage.
Stupid legislator forgot something important.

Marco Rubio's hunt for "#AntiChristian bias" is creeping #theocracy
In a new war on federal workers, State Department employees are told to snitch on people with #Pride flags
By Amanda Marcotte

Excerpt: "Unsurprisingly, a deeper read of the cable shows that 'anti-Christian bias' is the cover story propped up to justify Rubio's actual assault on freedom of religion at State. He's giving Christian nationalists at the agency a tool to harass and even Rpurge people who don't share their #FarRight beliefs. The definitions of 'anti-Christian bias' throughout add up to outrage that conservative Christians are expected to treat people who believe differently with fairness and decency.
"For instance, the memo asks for reports of 'mistreatment for opposing displays of flags, banners or other paraphernalia,' specifically during Joe Biden's administration. It doesn't take a doctorate in bureaucratese to interpret this. Rubio is seeking stories where conservative Christians were told to mind their own business after objecting to a colleague putting up a #PrideFlag, a #BlackLivesMatter sign or perhaps a religious knickknack from a #NonChristian faith. This might be more comprehensible if, say, any Christians had being told they couldn't wear a cross or have a picture of Jesus on their desk. Instead, what Rubio is suggesting is that Christians have [the right to] prevent other people from having the freedom to express views and positions they dislike — and that it amounts to 'bias' if they can't control what others do or say.

I drew a Tiefling rouge using the #pan #prideflag as a pallete. This suggestion came from @Affienia
Rememberig that time when #NASA published awesome pictures of the stars.
And then person1 took that, and made #digital #PrideFlag.s from them.
And then person2 organized physical pride flags to be made from this .
And then we all bought those flags, and now have them, and probably continue our stories with them.
Nice.

Ipsogender: A gender modality for intersex people who identify with the gender they were assigned. May or may not identify as cisgender. Indeed, a sizeable number of #ipsogender people do not identify as cisgender because of how being intersex complicates our relationships with gender. Some ipsogender people identify as #trans . The term was coined by CG Costello in 2016. #intersex #intersexPride #prideFlag #prideFlags
Trans-intersex aka transgender-intersex: An #intersex person whose gender identity does not match the one assigned by doctors/parents at birth, and identifies as #transgender. Because we intersex people have complex relationships with gender, please note that not all intersex people with genders different than their birth assignment identify as trans.
Please note this is an intersex-exclusive term. Sometimes perisex (non-intersex) people who want mixed sex characteristics will ignorantly say they want to "transition to intersex". This reflects harmful misconceptions about what intersex is: there is no single kind of intersex body, it ignores how intersex is a social experience, and disrespects the intersex community by not bothering to learn about us and our struggles. (The term for people who want to transition to mixed sex characteristics is altersex 💜)
