If there's one thing the LGBTQ+ community has time for during Pride Month, it's fighting petty with petty when it comes to handling homophobes.

TikTok user @addison.foskey had all the time to play recently after someone in his neighborhood vandalized his yard.

Initially, Addison had up one small rainbow lawn flag and a small sign supporting human rights. They sat at the base of a tree, not taking up much space at all.

And then one day Addison came home to find the sign stolen from the frame and the flag torn up and thrown on the ground.

As far as Addison was concerned, this was petty homophobic behavior deserving of an equally petty response.

"Wait and watch" he warned


TikTok loves a vague and kind of sexy threat, loves getting involved in petty neighbor drama, and loves Pride Month shenanigans.

This was a 3 for 3 situation, so of course the people were invested.

While people flooded the comments, Addison was off being a busy little bee.

First, the news showed up. Then donors started stepping forward.

This epic clip happened:

So many people wanted to help that the community ended up holding two live events full of discourse, support and celebration.

All that work to replace the one small flag... oh yeah and to add about 599 others. And some banners. And a new sign.

Each flag is marked with the name of an LGBT community member, a supporter, an ally - each name a little bit of love to combat and completely overshadow the hate that broke the first flag.

It was ... a lot.

TikTok has clearly also read from the book of First Pettylonians with the way they cheered for this.

The people love this version of vengeance, what can we say?

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

With the United States set to host the 2026 World Cup, a video out of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is drawing attention for a very different reason: showing a man ripping apart an Iraqi soccer fan’s banner and telling them, “Don’t come to America.”

The video, posted on Instagram, shows a group of Iraqi sports fans standing in an airport holding a banner with Arabic and Spanish writing. The fans were there to support Iraq during their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, which resulted in a 2-1 upset victory earlier that day.

Videos Of Squirrels Trying To 'Vape' Are Going Viral—And We Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry

Some viral videos come along that leave us unsure whether we should laugh or cry. In the case of squirrels trying to vape, crying is unfortunately the more likely outcome.

E-cigarettes have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years and are often even portrayed as a cool accessory on social media. Unfortunately, disposable, one-time-use e-cigarettes have been made affordable and easily accessible, and instead of properly disposing of them, people often leave them on the ground like cigarette butts.
