Gabriel Iglasias, 'Fluffy', is one of the funniest comedians out there Here are a few of his best quick bits

The day after Clare escaped, her family was told they could never speak to her again. Yet, they were kept in the dark for months, with negotiations that masked a prior declaration. Full video here: bit.ly/4bmUbI5

@favor @HEB five verifications within a 6 month period feels like harassment. I’m already having to self report to the FBI for some bullshittery that I had to put up with last week which may or may not be found to be connected to you.

Animaris Rex is an 18-metre-long walking 'beach animal' propelled by the wind, created by Theo Jansen as a fusion of art and engineering.

If someone could do me a solid and tell Davie’s band of silly OTs that they’re trying to see the wrong finger. The scar is in a different place.

@zyraebelle They just did some pretty fucked up shit through the app that might need to be reported to TABC but I think I found a way to put it into that article without pissing off too many assholes.

@albertdixon Did you really just go into an H‑E‑B to buy something that you could’ve gotten from any other store just to show them how abysmally incompetent the management is at getting your queer ass arrested on bullshit charges?😂😂😂

@zyraebelle And people wonder why my trust level for municipal police is so fucking low. They love to be weaponized and couldn’t give two shits about the constitution.

@albertdixon It can be hard to protect the rights of those who hate you the most but fighting the good fight is always worth the battles won.

I can please somebody else, but I don’t have anyone else in my life to please.

this is what we thought we would be doing with adult money as kids

@zyraebelle Actually, the only truly laborious part will be addressing the envelopes. I’ve never mastered label‑making or convincing a printer to behave, so I’ll be writing them by hand—an arrangement that will, regrettably, showcase handwriting with more personality than precision.

@albertdixon You’ll be fine, just mention a little something about how you felt lucky enough to have that opportunity to meet Anne Richards in the west wing of the capital, and maybe mention some of the advice she imparted to you while you’re telling him about your cause. #democracy

I took the day off yesterday to print out all of my letters. Now comes the hard part of having to write a friendly letter to the governor of my state. 🙃 #Congress #Senate #HouseOfRepresentatives #WorkersRights #ADA #AmericansWithDisabilities #Transparency #Accountability #EthicalBusiness #CorporateResponsibility #DataEthics #TrasnparencyMatters

Today marks the birthday of the late, great Elizabeth Taylor. As well as being a bonafide big screen legend, the actress was also a life-long ally of the LGBTQ+ community. In the 1980s, she was one of the first major celebrities to speak publicly about AIDS and even founded the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation in 1991 to raise millions for AIDS-related research. In 2000, Taylor accepted the Vanguard Award from GLAAD for her incredible allyship. “It’s the first award I’ve received from a gay organisation, and I’m honoured and just tickled pink,” she said at the ceremony, her delivery making the live audience howl with laughter. “But to be serious, I did not become an activist to win awards,” she continued. “I became an activist to try to protect people. I could not sit silently by just doing nothing. I started my activism in the 80s when a new disease emerged that was quickly and inexplicably killing people.” She continued by speaking about the “terrible discrimination and prejudice” that came with it. “Suddenly, gay people stopped being human beings and started becoming the enemy,” Taylor said. “I knew that somebody had to do something. For god sakes! Our president didn’t even utter the word ‘AIDS’ for years into the epidemic. So I got involved.” She went on to share love for all the gay people in her life, of which there had been many. “There is no gay agenda; it’s a human agenda,” she said. “All of us should be treated the same, and GLAAD knows that. Why Shouldn’t gay people be allowed to marry? Those against gay marriages says marriage should only be between a man and a woman. God, I of all people know that that doesn’t always work,” she said, cheekily referencing her many public marriages and divorces. “I feel that any home where there is love constitutes a family, and all families should have the same legal rights, including the right to marry and have or adopt children,” she said. “Why shouldn’t gay people be able to live as open and freely as everybody else? What it comes down to, ultimately, is love. How can anything bad come out of love?” 📷 Getty

A lot of folks forget… Texas hasn’t always been red. 🤠 When Democrat Ann Richards was governor, Texas ranked 7th in education. After nearly 30 years of Republican control, Texas now ranks 40th overall in education & 47th in reading. It’s past time for a change. 🌊
