Alright, let’s see what we have today, first up, the new Google ear buds are going to change the world with live translations.
Stan Lee takes a stand against bigotry.
Fitz and the Tantrums’ new song is my new jam:
A touching tribute to Matthew Shepherd.
And speaking of, the politician who was saved by a married lesbian spoke at a convention dedicated to taking away her rights.
Oh hey, so did the president. The first to do so. He spoke at a convention that has discussed ways to pass legislation to put gay men to death. Let that sink in.
Also in the horror show that is this administration, Jeff Sessions has rescinded protections for trans* people.
The president has also removed all mention of the queer community from the Health and Human Services department, meaning no mention of queer focused health initiatives.
And Jeff Sessions rescinded other protections for all members of the queer community. These are things that affect people you love. Be fucking pissed.

Speaking of graphic designers, a great SNL skit about fonts:
And if you can believe it, the man who created Papyrus, responds!
Stranger Things 2 (or the second season, not sure what to call it) looks amazing:
The president rolls back the mandate for birth control under health care, because he wants to drive up abortion rates, the cost of healhtcare and get rid of preventative medicine. Just kidding, he’s a racist and since it is both something Obama put into place and a GOP wet-dream, it’s gone.
And I’ll just drop this here, the 10 things you need to know about Patriotism:
In good medical news, due to PrEP, there has been a huge drop in new HIV cases in England (where it was studied).
And finally, the amazing trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi:
