Haven't seen much about this abhorrent bill on here so thought I should share this. Find your rep here.

Sample call script:

I’m calling to tell Representative __ to oppose H.R. 7661. This bill would pressure schools to remove titles that discuss lived experiences that some politicians find controversial. I don’t think trans people are controversial. Legal precedents such as the Miller Test and state-level obscenity laws already ensure that there are no inappropriate books on school shelves. It’s unacceptable to me as a taxpayer to see so much time and effort being wasted on legislation that won’t do anything to help students learn and grow.

TGCF Short Film Chapter 3 (eng subbed)

「A perilous encounter in emerald waters. Such a fleeting meeting—hearts are in turmoil and flutter with unease. Gentle words to soothe the wound, and a tailored crimson robe. Walking side by side on an endless road, two shadows in line, just like in days gone by.」

Guys, queers. Specifically my fellow queers.

I work at a library. We do this thing where, every so often, we weed the collection. It hurts to see books go, but it's necessary to make sure there's room in the library for new materials.

I have seen so much support for the library in text, and I've seen folks pass around those beautiful "queer your library" flyers. Keep doing that. That's great. Nothing wrong with that. But you HAVE to turn your words into action. We MUST remember to actually go to our local organizations and libraries and actually, with our own fucking hands, interact with these materials we want to see more of.

My branch is medium-sized for a library, maybe a little small. We don't have as many materials as I'd like, but we have fundamentals. Tell me why, even with all the verbal support I've gotten from my local community for the library as a resource for our LGBT+ community, every single trans biography and a good chunk of our vaguely queer theory books were on the list. This isn't a scheme to take the books off the shelves, it isn't another bigoted American governmental push. The only thing we look at when we weed is how long it's been since the last time the item was checked out.

Three years.

No one in my community interacted in any meaningful way with the few books on trans life and history we physically had on the shelves for three fucking years.

I promise you the materials you want and need are there, but this isn't a horde. This isn't a static safety net. You have to use them. You MUST use them or, in the future, maybe in three years, they *won't* be there anymore.

This isn't a vague post, there's no one person I'm hinting at or calling out. I'm not even talking directly to anyone who's directly in my line of sight. I just want everyone to hear this. Big library, small library, whatever. Doesn't matter. Please, we cannot be losing our shelf visibility like this.

Help Ahmed and his Father

Ahmed has been using his Tumblr accounts, @mazen-fmaily and @ahmmad-mazen78 to reach people who could help him afford his father's medical treatment. Ahmed has unfortunately lost access to both these accounts and the messages he had with the kind people who had been helping him and his father.

I'm making this post to try and help reach people who can help them while Ahmed tries to get a new account set up. Due to the internet issues in Gaza, this may take time. Time is something his father doesn't have.

Right now Ahmed needs $350 to afford medicine for his father. This is the price after transaction fees.

In the past, Ahmed has used both paypal and Chuffed, but for now he has asked me to only link his Chuffed campaign. Please donate here to help him and his dad:
