Hi, I'm trying to bring attention to an important gfm that's to help a lesbian Ugandan couple that were arrested for kissing in public. I don't use tumblr often so I'm sending messages to queer bloggers. My pinned post has the information and link to the gofundme, which is being ran by the lesbian feminist org Love is Resistance.

Whether it's my post or you make your own, I hope you can help share the information. If you are kind enough to help the hashtag being used on twitter is #FreeWendyandDiana I don't know if a dedicated tag would help on tumblr but if it does that's one that can be used!

Donate to Emergency Aid for Ugandan Couple Wendy and Diana, organized by SÀBÍÍWÖRLD Collective

Right now, two young women are facing life imprisonment in Ugan… SÀBÍÍWÖRLD Collective needs your support for Emergency Aid for Ugandan Coup

^^ the donation link!

lately, almost every single time I watch a video essay, INCLUDING some that specifically criticize the beauty industry, I get botox ads. many of them will have the women describe their "moderate to severe lines" as if it's some kind of acute medical condition and not... just the way a person who has lived on this earth for 20-40 years looks. it'll be a cold day in hell before I consider getting a "treatment" like that, but knowing that these are constantly being pushed to so many people... it's absurd. you do not need botox. you do not need fillers. you do not need beauty maintenance. you need to be the person who says no.

[IDs: three photos - two close ups and one wide shot - of an art installation that comprises of glass sculptures of animals and many pointed starbursts on sheets of dark blue fabric cut and arranged into a large circle over a wooden floor. The first image shows a detail shot of a glass scorpion and two glass bears resting on the dark blue fabric with stars strewn around them. They are also surrounded by little dark dots. In the second image sits a rabbit and what might be a small sheep, with some stars to their right, as well as clumps of the dark dots. The glass of these creatures is highlighted white with light, and shaded in the curves of the smooth glass with the blue background of the fabric. The third photo is from far back, showing the entire scene of various animals and stars arranged on the blue circle. /end IDs.]

You will live and you will say the wrong thing and make mistakes and people will love you anyway.

You aren't ungrateful just because you're frustrated with your situation. You can feel upset while still being grateful for what you have. Two things can be true at the same time.
