It is the 1st of June! Happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Why is Pride month important? To celebrate all the is LGBTQIA!!!!!
Because… with these MAGA shitholes, you are fucked if you do…and fucked if you don’t:
It seems appropriate that most of the country may get to see the aurora on the first night of Pride Month…
Innit lovely?

The Sky Dancing banner headline uses a snippet from a work by artist Tashi Mannox called 'Rainbow Study'. The work is described as a" study of typical Tibetan rainbow clouds, that feature in Thanka painting, temple decoration and silk brocades". dakinikat was immediately drawn to the image when trying to find stylized Tibetan Clouds to represent Sky Dancing. It is probably because Tashi's practice is similar to her own. His updated take on the clouds that fill the collection of traditional thankas is quite special.
You can find his work at his website by clicking on his logo below. He is also a calligraphy artist that uses important vajrayana syllables. We encourage you to visit his on line studio.

The festivities are already kicking off here.
I guess TACO isn’t in the loop any more.
This interview is insane. You may read the transcript but really watching the clip is amazing. Bessent lies, shouts, and is your basic asshole.
