This version of the progress flag legitimately looks so nice

Gilbert baker rainbow, huge intersex circle, the design is cluttered but in a good way 10/10

[ID: A version of the progress pride flag with a large purple intersex ring outlined in gold, looping through pink, blue, brown, and black chevrons on the side, which have a base of white. The horizontal stripes are: pink, red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, and purple. End ID.]

Girls. That's the original image. We've come full circle. It's always just been the state of Ohio

This may be the best Pride merch I've seen from a major corporation.

Levi's said yes, actually. Assless chaps and a biker vest. Happy Pride.

And the assless chaps sold out on June 1.

They also specifically contacted members of the leather community, used them as models iirc, and donated $100k to Outright International. They talked the talk and walked the walk and put their money on it too. I don't really care that I can't afford and don't want this merch, I love to see my community getting the respect it deserves. Levi's said, "We make jeans which gays wear lots of jeans? Oh leather daddies? Let's call them."

[fandomsandfeminism]

I think Levi's donates to Outreach International every year too, as well as sponsoring pride events and other community support. They were offering Same Sex domestic partner benefits to employees in the 90s, and have been very public about their support for pro-lgbt legislation all through the 2000s.

So, you know, a giant corporation that walks the walk pretty consistently.

trying my best not to read into a dream where the main villain was a drag queen named "Lady Vagina".

I missed the call back from IT bc I was warming up pizza and had to restart the process. This is gonna be my whole day, just waiting on IT to get me back into my fucking account. Fuck my shit memory and fuck their shitty out of date system that won't let me use my own damn computer to login when it worked literally the day before this shit show started. Fucking fuck

lgbtq+ youth doing cool things (as usual):

this is Geo, and last year his robotics team applied for one of our Changemakers grants to help get more lgbtq+ youth interested in STEM and robotics. and it's workinggg!

so far, they've created the Rainbow Robotics initiative, to help other robotics teams learn how to create more inclusive environments. through Rainbow Robotics, they're planning on hosting 15 events(!) with workshops, forming the Rainbow Robotics alliance with other teams, hosting a teen resource fair to get kids interested in robotics, and are planning an inclusive children's book!

annnd they just revealed the robot they built.

if you have an idea like Geo's to make things better for queer youth in your community, you're in luck: apps are open now for the next round of It Gets Better: Changemakers! you can apply now for your own grant through may 3 here - can't wait to see all of your ideas!

Shut Up, I Don’t Care

[kelpforestdwellers]

Ok this is a long shot but, crafts minded people, can anyone think of any crafts that fit this absurdly stringent list of requirements?

Can be done in low light.

Can be done lying down flat.

No mess, ie paint or small beads that could get lost in a bed.

Can be done in intervals of 5-10 minutes - easy to put down and pick back up without messing it up.

Does not require a lot of arm movement - can be done with just hands, with upper arms and elbows at rest.

All necessary items can fit in a fairly small pouch, like a pencil case or toiletry bag, to remain self contained and take up minimal space.

Setup and takedown takes a couple minutes max.

Learning curve is cognitively gentle, ie no complex knitting math type thing.

Please feel free to reblog and appreciate any suggestions. It's difficult finding fulfilling activities compatible with my disabilities!

[kelpforestdwellers]

Ahhh I didn't expect so many responses! 😭 Thank you all so much! I can't wait to start looking into them in more detail.

For now I'll just clarify - lying flat on back or side. If I could lie on my stomach that would open up a lot of options because it would be much easier to look down at something I'm doing in front of me with my hands.

And I'd be able to lay the activity down on a surface and use both my hands to engage with it. As it stands, I need to be able to both hold up the activity where I can see it (if it's vision dependent) and do the activity at the same time.

[kelpforestdwellers]

Bonus points if it involves music or sound! Maybe I should learn to play the ocarina.

[kelpforestdwellers]

I can't convey how touched and grateful I am that so many people offered so many applicable ideas. I feel like my life could open up in ways that I didn't think were possible.

I've picked just one to start with. I want to try everything! But I am now too old and sensible to indulge that impulse. I'll start with one, and if that becomes habit or doesn't work out I'll try something else.

Not gonna say which one yet, because I think there's some truth in the concept that talking about something you're gonna do in advance can sap the motivation to actually do it, by prematurely triggering the internal reward signals.

I would also take it as a personal kindness if you would consider reblogging this. You all have created a treasure trove in the comments that can be life changing for people in situations like mine, and I would love for them to get the chance to see it. I have very specific requirements but I'm sure many of these ideas would be helpful for people in a variety of circumstances.

People love to say things like “Hiding Anne Frank was illegal, turning her in would have been legal” without like fully grasping the modern implications properly. You have tons of folks like “if WW2 happened today id have __” that do not realize what is happening around them.

We have this idolized AND sanitized version of what happened then, and so we do not recognize it when it happens now.

Resistance fighters assassinated nazis and blew up weapons and infrastructure and destroyed records and forged paperwork and raised secret funds and smuggled people in vehicles and yes, hid them in their homes.

“Well it’s sad he got sent to an ICE camp but he faked his permit :/“

Whoever helped him fake his paperwork did what fighters in ww2 did. People who cut through chain link fences do what fighters in ww2 did, people who blow whistles chasing after ice cars do what fighters in ww2 did, people who destroy arms factories and cop city cranes do what fighters in ww2 did, people unmask agents do what fighters in ww2 did.

People are doing it now! They’ve been doing it now! You keep saying “oh if this happened here__” it HAS! It IS!

What are you doing about it?

I liked this post, scrolled for like another minute before I went “SHIT FUCK SHIT” and scrolled back to reblog it

[quadriviummuse]

I always reblog this one when I see it on my dash. When someone posts their own art, writing, or music here they are really hoping you will share it.

[zinesbycee]

having important realisations in the shower is so funny to me. like damn, that person legit gaslit me and made it really hard for me to forgive myself, AND i'm soaping my balls

[deermioda]

something I'd like to say..

i dont care if someone's preferred pronouns bring you discomfort, use them or dont talk about them or interact with them.

"but indi! it/its pronouns are dehumanizi-"

NOPE! i dont care!

"but, this person goes by he/him but dresses femininely-"

so? is it actually hurting you?

"but neopronouns are hurting the trans communi-"

transphobes and terfs are hurting the trans community!

I am in no way affiliated with this shop/blog and DEFINITELY not sponsored in any way but I get their newsletter and saw that they're giving **all** proceeds from the sales of their Algiz rune pendant to the Palestinian Children's relief fund.

I just wanted to share this link as someone who is both a witch and has so much empathy and sadness for the victims of the Gaza genocide happening right now.

Even if you're not a witch and just think it's cool, I encourage you to at least check it out.
