A Target store in Illinois was shaken when a small bomb went off in the women's bathroom on Wednesday.
According to Commander Joe Dugan, no one was injured when the explosion occurred. The bomb caused some damage, but nothing significant. It is theorized that a plastic bottle was used in the bomb.
The investigation is still ongoing. It is being reported that a woman is in custody.

It is no secret that Target has been widely criticized for supporting trans men and women using the bathroom according to their gender identity. The religious right actually has a petition promising to boycott Target. The petition has 1.3 million signatures, and it continues to grow in popularity.

As for whether crime is related to the bathroom policy, that's still up in the air, according to officials.
However, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that it IS related.

My Two Cents
How can officials not see that this is a hate crime against Target's bathroom policy? Like I said, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that it is. More importantly, it is a hate crime against the trans community!
The religious right is so quick to call trans men and women criminals, when they themselves are the ones committing the crimes. Are you kidding me!?

I for one fully support Target's bathroom policy. I have no problem peeing next to a trans woman. I DO have a problem with sharing a planet with ultra-conservatives.
When can I make a petition to send conservatives to another planet (outside our solar system)?

I am glad that no one was injured in the explosion. Target, please don't change your rules because of these conservaturd bullies.
You will continue to have my business as long as you continue to support the LGBT+ community.
As for whomever did this, I hope they are caught and thrown in jail.

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

Photo credit: screenrant Fans who were awaiting the season premiere of "The Last Ship" last night were met with disappointment. TNT decided to postpone the season 3 premiere due to the tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning. At least 50 people died, and another 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire at a popular club in Florida. Season 3 of "The Last Ship" was to open with gunshots being fired at a nightclub full of patrons. TNT has not announced a new premiere date for the season premiere of "The Last Ship." My Two Cents I am really glad that TNT had enough respect to postpone the premiere. Even though I am a fan of the show, I think it would be inappropriate to show an episode involving that subject matter. Thank you, TNT! On a personal note, last night my best friend from college told me that a girl that we went to college with was among the victims of the Pulse tragedy: KJ Morris. I didn

Photo Credit: ravishly Actor/Fellow Blogger/My First Crush, Wil Wheaton, went on the attack after Paul Ryan sent out his prayers and condolences to the victims of the Church shooting tragedy. Ryan tweeted for a "call to prayer." Wheaton subsequently posted the following in response: "The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s**t." After receiving a TON of backlash, Wheaton tried to explain his tweet in a series of later tweets: "Hey, real and actual people of faith: I hear you. I apologise for insulting you, in my rage at Paul Ryan's refusal to address gun violence." He also stated that Paul Ryan is someone who exploits his faith by hiding behind his words without conducting actual good deeds. Wheaton also expressed his upset that Ryan refused to address gun violence. My Two Cents The thing I love about Wil Wheaton is that he is not afraid of expressing his opinion.
