Our hearts go out to the victims in the Club Q massacre and to everyone in the queer community. If you can, donate to support families and injured folks here gofundme.com/f/support-for-…
Catch us on the picket line and during your local phonebank, fighting for your rights to fair working conditions 🌈🌹

Join us for GPQA Coffee Hour TODAY (12/7) at 3:00 PM at Starbucks by Gladstone!
During today’s arguments, Justice Kavanaugh suggested the historic civil rights victories we won in Lawrence & Obergefell could be justification to overturn Roe v. Wade. NOT IN OUR NAME. Do not try to leverage our hard-fought victories to strip people of essential health care.
The 46 trans Americans killed by anti-trans violence in 2021 were neighbors, friends, siblings, coworkers, and artists. Read their stories. Say their names. #TransDayofRememberance. advocate.com/transgender/20…
(It means claiming discovering someone is trans sent you into such a panic that you cannot be held responsible for your actions, such as murder. It's a legal precedent with a long track record of successful use.)
It would be so amazing if one day @gaytimes would invite or honour some LGBT+ scientists. There are so many of us and it’s such an overlooked part of LGBT+ community. We are fighting to break down barriers everyday.
This past year, @HRC has been tracking the violent fatal incidents against transgender and gender non-conforming people, whose lives we honor on #TDOR. Thank you @MsToriCooper1 and others who are doing this work. hrc.org/resources/fata…
Sending strength and love to all of our trans siblings on this #TransDayOfRemembrance .
#TransDayOfRemembrance is an important, but often painful day for many in the trans and nonbinary community 💙💗💙 art by @sogayjen 🎨 Remember that you aren't alone. If you're struggling, we're always to support you 24/7 at: thetrevorproject.org/help 📲 #TDOR
Cops at UCSF are telling Student Researchers to get off their own campus. We have a right to talk to coworkers about voting to authorize a strike for union recognition! This is shameful @UofCalifornia... stop committing unfair labor practices!
Are you here? Are you queer (or identify as LGBTQIA+)? Then join us at Spro Coffee Lab today to socialize with fellow queer scientists at UCSF. Free drink if you arrived by 3:05
