Amber Glenn the woman that you are.

The first openly queer US female figure skater, breaking stigmas and speaking out on issues in the figure skating world around mental health, homophobia and misogyny. On top of that she’s an extremely powerful skater with beautiful artistry. Love her.

happy pride month to those in the closet. to those who went back into the closet. to those who have unsupportive families, friends and relationships. those who were bullied and harassed because of their identity. those who were killed because of who they truly were and loved.

you are loved and appreciated.

[leighlew3]

ㅤ⋆˚࿔ Answer as your dr self: Pride Month Edition˚⋆✮

🌈. You already know what time it is! BE WHO YOU ARE! FOR YOUR PRIDE! DON'T HID! If you don't fall under the queer umbrella then GET YA ASS TO THE BACK THIS AIN'T FOR YOU! But let me go into who this post is for anyone apart of the LGBTQIA+ terminology. So for all of my fellow lesbians, gays, bisexuals, trans, queer, intersex, agender, aromantic, asexual, poly people. Anyone that falls outside of the allonormative cishetero monogamous structure then this is for you. Now let's get into it!

In honor of pride month I want to do a daily answer as your dr self question (If I run out of pride themed questions I might just do it in general)

Now let's really get into it....

Question 01: What part of the LGBTQIA+ umbrella do you fall under? Are you the same identity in numerous realities? Follow up (if you feel like answering of course) How did you discover your identity and what does it mean to you?

Okay this is the first question of the month! You can get as deep as you want!

[damarionchip]

hii ! i’m chip, and i’m gay. i identify as this in all of my realities, wouldn’t trade it for the world in all of my drs, being gay is seen as morally normal and always has been, with same sex marriage being allowed in every continent, country, state and union. in all of my drs, i came to terms with my identity at only 12 years old, realizing i was queer, i came out to my family as bisexual at first (i’m from europe, i grew up in switzerland), my family is full of ghanaian immigrants, they didn’t accept me and felt confused. i came out as bisexual because i thought it would help me at least end up with a woman in some way, i viewed the idea of being “gay” weird, due to my past religion (christianity), my family respected me but didn’t accept the way i identified which messed me up a lot. at 13, i finally came to terms with myself and sat my family down once again and came out as gay (congrats on coming out twice!!), this made matters worse but they agreed to at least try and understand me, shortly after this, years later, i grew up to love myself for who i am, being so glad that i didn’t give up on finding my true identity or try fighting it due to a religion that i didn’t even need to have in my life.

This pride month, remember that there is no exception to acceptance.

If you support queer people until they use multiple labels or micro labels, you are queerphobic.

If you support trans people until they are not conventionally attractive or do not fit into traditional gender roles, you are transphobic.

If you support queer people of colour until they criticise the present racism within the queer community itself, you are very much racist!

Being in the community itself does not exempt you from being bigoted.

You stand with all of us, or you stand with none of us.

zendaya is old hollywood personified: the return of the god-like movie star. we’ll still talk about her decades from now because honest to god? no one has a more impressive run. z is playing the whole industry like a violin. queen was swinging from the ceiling right into zac efron’s shook ass face, had bruno mars serenading her pathetically, was kissed by hunter schafer and jacob elordi, bisexualized two tennis players, married actual spider man, was mugler’s muse, stunned the met gala, bagged a pattinson wedding movie, became nolan’s athena, and had enough game to be cracking lisan al gaib all across the whole damn desert. call her tashi duncan the way zendaya scores. playing 3D chess since the beginning y’all this is generational range

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ .𖥔 ݁ ˖╭ ┆Soulaan╰⊹ ࣪

⤷ Soulaan/Soulaani or "Soula" translates directly to "the people of soul." Soulaans/Soulannis are black people who are descendants of enslaved Africans.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤAll About Soulaan Culture:

⋮ ⌗ 1┆Food

Many foods that Soulaans enjoy derive from West Africa. The Soulaan cuisine consist of legumes, rice, beans, leafy greens, and various meats. Some examples included: red beans & rice, fried green tomatoes, gumbo, cornbread jambalaya, collard greens, yams, catfish, fried chicken, black eyed peas, macaroni and cheese, cabbage, candied yams, dirty rice, smothered pork chops/chicken and rice, oxtails, chicken and waffles, okra and tomato stew, fried okra, peach cobbler, red velvet, pound cake, banana pudding,etc.

In the pictures from left to right ( gumbo, yams, macaroni and cheese, green beans, baked chicken, and cornbread, smothered cabbage, red beans and rice, and banana pudding)

⋮ ⌗ 2┆Hair

Hair is very important to Soulaans, our hair is like no other. It grows towards the sun! Of course we take it very seriously! Some Soulaan hairstyles include: goddess braids, box braids, Fulani braids, butterfly locs, soft locs, micro braids, sew-ins, lace fronts, leave outs, knotless, braids, afro, passion twists, goddess locs, cornrows, afro puffs, silk presses, waves, line ups, fades, etc.

Our headscarves/hats: tignon, bonnets, durags, bandannas, & snapbacks!

Here are some Soulaan hairstyles!

⋮ ⌗ 3┆Music

New Jack Swing, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Rap, Hip Hop, R&B, Soul, New Orleans Bounce, Drill, Be-Bop, Beat boxing, Scatting, Trap, yes even genres like Rock n Roll was pioneered by Soulaans!

Instruments: Banjo, Drum, Washboard, Harmonica, Tambourine, Fiddle, Piano, Congas, Bass Guitar, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Saxophne, Trumpet, Trambone, Hand Claps, Snare Drum, etc.

From left to right (blues, disco s/o Donna summer! and tlc!)

⋮ ⌗ 4┆Languages: AAVE/AEE, Tutnese, Lousiana Creole, Gulla Geechee,

Ian teaching nobody no damn AAVE because you all use it ENOUGH!

⋮ ⌗ 5┆Traditions: Ballroom, Quilting, Ring shout, jumping the broom, memory jugs, face jugs, blue bottle trees, second line parades, pouring one out, soul train, dap, black eye peas on new years, etc.

In the pictures from left to right (ballroom culture, African American quilt, memory jugs, soul train and hair shows.)

⋮ ⌗ 6┆Religions: Voodoo & Hoodoo

Now these are more so closed cultural practices so I won't be expounding. I didn't put Christianity because in my humble opinion I don't believe that the religion that was used to colonize my people should be practiced! Now in your Dr you can do whatever you want, but here we practice our cultural customs!

⋮ ⌗ 7┆Cultural/Traditional Wear:

Streetwear, Y2K, Hoochie, Majorette, Afro Americana, Soul/Neo-Soul, Gullah Geeche Attire, Creole Attire,

This one was kind of hurt because Soulaans have so many different styles throughout the years and I don't have the time to go through all of them so in the pictures from left to right is (streetwear, Hoochie mama, and Gullah Geechee)

⋮ ⌗ 8┆Jewelry/Accesories:

Hoops, Long Acrylic nails, baby hairs, grillz, bamboo hoops, waist beads, cowrie shells.

⋮ ⌗ 9┆Dances:

Stepping, Crip Walking, Krumping, Swing Dance, Majorette, scrubbing the ground, bucking, bounce, break dancing, cabbage patch, cakewalk, Harlem shake, humpty hump, jerk, moonwalk, running man, stroll, twerking, cripwalking, whip n nae nae, drop, woah, cat daddy, hambone, pop locking, whacking, tutting, wobble, hit dem folks, new orleans bounce , swag n surf, trippin out.

And lastly our flag!

I made this vague on purpose because this was made strictly for the niggas, now if you want me to explain something I will happily. If you want to add something that I missed please let me know and I will!

Also this PROVES that black people have culture which I ALREADY KNEW.

P.S I know I said I was going to make this months ago but hey! Better later than never!
