Hundreds of people celebrated LGBTQ2 joy and resilience during Calgary’s Pride Parade on Sunday.

The parade started at around 11 a.m. at the intersection of 9th Avenue Southwest and Fifth Street Southwest, ending at around noon at Fort Calgary. An all-ages festival was to be held in Prince’s Island Park throughout the afternoon and evening after the parade.

Many attendees describe Pride as an event to showcase the diversity of the LGBTQ2 community in Calgary. For them, Pride is a day to tell others that they have the right to feel comfortable in their own identities and bodies.

Happy birthday Freddie Mercury!

Born on 5 September 1946, Freddie would have been 77 today. We often focus on public images of him as the frontman of Queen, but on his birthday today I thought I'd post some of my favourite pictures of him just hanging out with his partner, barber Jim Hutton. Freddie and Jim were together for seven years, and although gay marriage was illegal in Britain at the time, they exchanged rings to symbolise their commitment to each other.

BREAKING: Scandal rocks the Republican-controlled Supreme Court as it's revealed that the wife of far-right Justice Samuel Alito leased land to an oil & gas company while her husband was fighting to dismantle the EPA — a shocking conflict of interest even by the GOP's corrupt standards.

Last year, Martha Ann Bomgardner Alito leased a 160-acre plot of land in Oklahoma to Citizen Energy III to develop oil and gas resources on the property. If the land proves profitable, she will fatten her wallet with 3/16ths of all the money generated.

The potentially massively lucrative deal casts a new light on a political war that Justice Alito has been waging for years to destroy the Environmental Protection Agency.

For the longest time, it appeared that Alito was fighting the EPA simply to benefit the fossil fuel companies that own the GOP. It now turns out that he may also be lining his family's pockets in the process.

Notably, Alito penned a majority decision that gutted much of the Clean Water Act — a move that was supported and celebrated by powerful gas and petroleum interests. He has also targeted the Clean Air Act.

Insanely, Alito also delivered remarks at a conservative think tank in 2017 claiming that "carbon dioxide is not a pollutant" because it is "not harmful to ordinary things, to human beings, or to animals, or to plants." That, of course, was a shameless lie.

Alito in already embroiled in scandal after it was recently discovered that he corruptly accepted an expensive fishing trip and luxury jet ride from a right-wing billionaire worth over $100,000.

This man is making a complete mockery of American democracy and his continued, blatant corruption proves that the Supreme Court is in desperate need of reform. If something is not done, the institution will collapse completely into illegitimacy.

Tumblr Migration 2: Reddit Boogaloo

We all know about the Twitter immigrants, but there seems to be radio silence on what's happening now with Reddit users from certain subreddits doing a similar thing.

What's happening?

Reddit is restricting their API later this month and killing off third-party apps. An AMA (Ask Me Anything) with the CEO Steve Hoffman was held and it was clear that he would continue with the changes.

In protest, thousands of subreddits across the site are planning to go dark for 48 hours on June 12th. Some are planning to continue indefinitely until the changes are reversed.

Okay, so how does this affect Tumblr?

Some subreddits (mainly queer and left-leaning meme ones, don't worry too much about Reddit Atheists™ overrunning us) are encouraging their users to jump ship to our beloved - and beloathed - hellsite. There will be another influx of new users and many will be unfamiliar with how the site works.

What do us Tumblr users do?

Show them how to use the site; introduce them to the site's culture, tell them to reblog shit and curate their dashboard. Sorta like how we welcomed Twitter users back when they flocked here. Kungpowpenising optional.

I'm new from Reddit, what do I do here?

CHANGE YOUR PROFILE PICTURE AND BANNER TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN DEFAULT BECAUSE THIS SITE IS FILLED WITH BOTS AND YOU MIGHT BE MISTAKEN FOR ONE. This is the FIRST thing you should do after getting a blog.

Other folks can help you with stuff like curating your dashboard or creating sideblogs (or you can look shit up) but please, PLEASE just give yourself an icon and reblog some stuff so people don't mistake you for a bot
