Fun Questions With RNB Singer Brooklyn West đ
The Nonbinary Bunny by Maia Kobabe
(with deep respect for Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd)
Once there was a little bunny who realized e was nonbinary. So e said to eir mother, âI am not a boy bunny or a girl bunny.âÂ
"I love you, but I donât understand,â sair eir mother
âMale and female bleed into each other like day and night,â said the little bunny. âThere is space between them for sunrise and sunsets."Â
 "Iâve always thought of male and female like land and water,â said eir mother. âSeparate."Â
"If they were, then I would be a frog, who lives half in and half out of both,â said the little bunny.
 "Iâve always seen female and male as light and shade,â said eir mother. "Divided.â
 "If they were, then I would be a cat, who lies half in and out of the sun,â said the little bunny.
"Iâve always believed that male and female were like two trees,â said eir mother. âDistinct.â
 "Then I would be a bird who flies back and forth between both,â said the little bunny.
"Whether you are a sunrise, or a frog, or a cat, or a bird, I am still your mother. I will support you wherever you go,â said the mother bunny. âI love you.â
 "I love you too,â said the little bunny.Â
This story is a loving remake of "The Runaway Bunnyâ (1942) written by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Clement Hurd. This version was written and illustrated by Maia Kobabe:Â Â instagram / patreon / portfolio / the nib / etsy
Janelle MonĂĄe Coverâs the August Issue of InStyle
so youâve probably seen the post going around detailing the horrific human rights abuses in what are, undeniably, concentration camps in the USâŚ. accompanied by the suggestion that the only thing you can do is call your senators.
itâs unfathomable to me that someone would see we have actual nazi death camps in our country, and think the solution is writing to the politicians who allowed it to happen.
i have yet to see a post on any social media that has meaningfully helpful suggestions for how to get involved, so:
this article offers a number of suggestions including getting involved with your local chapter of Sanctuary Not Deportation, which connects faith groups to offer sanctuary to immigrants fleeing ICE. it also has a comprehensive list of immigrant-lead organizations to get involved with or donate to, as well as a link to crowdfund for detaineeâs phone bills, which allows them to contact their families, legal counsel, and inform the outside world of the realities they are facing in detention.
here is a link for finding detention centers near you. there are many rallies directly outside of these camps you can participate in, and physically going to them is crucial in liberation efforts.
posting bond for detained immigrants is still one of the best ways to get people out of the death camps, even though ICE is increasingly unwilling to participate. the linked article has a list of both federal and state-by-state bail funds/organizations.
host a refugee if you have the room. Room For Refugees is still trying to build a network in the US. keeping people out of ICEâs grip and preventing detention in the first place is the best thong we can do because these camps are becoming more and more impenetrable.
help the legal organizations helping immigrants near you; if youâre anywhere close to NYC the New Sanctuary Coalition needs volunteers/donations, and if youâre on the border get involved with Texas Civil Rights Project.
on top of free legal aid, the NSC specifically also organizes rapid responses to ICE raids, which is one of the most importang things you can do â there are many local networks already in place, but here is how to organize a rapid response network if your city doesnât have one.
one of the easiest things we can all do is learn the rights of immigrants in this country, and how to react to ICE raids. spread this information to everyone you know and keep the toolkit in easy access on your phone.
the only government policy that can make an immediate and tangible impact is municipal policy; push your local politicians to support or build sanctuary city initiatives â here is a toolkit for local political action.
finally, get involved with local antifa and leftist orgs! follow their social media to get updates on calls to action and protests happening near you. i cannot stress enough how important it is to be aware of efforts in your own city. antifa internationalâs tumblr is one page you can follow, but please research the orgs specifically in your area that are fighting the rise of fascism. the torch network has a list of chapters in several cities around the US, but again this is just a place to start.
i encourage everyone to find at least ONE thing from this list you can do, beyond donating. i know we are all stressed and have our time/energy zapped by capitalism, but if we do nothing, nothing will change. and please share these links wherever you can â copy and paste this post or at least share the first article i linked.
fascism is here, NOW, and we need to step up, because no one is going to invade us to free the camps this time.

The tradition of Pride Month began in 1970 with a series of marches to commemorate the Stonewall Riots, when LGBTQ patrons of the Stonewall Inn fought back against harassment and brutality by the police. Before Stonewall, marches by gay and lesbian activists were quiet, with participants dressed in formal attire. After Stonewall, the protests would be loud, with no dress code.
âAs the fight for LGBTQ rights became more mainstream, corporations have latched onto Pride Month as a way of courting the LGBTQ community, an important source of customers and skilled employees.
But do these corporations really support the LGBTQ movement? Popular Information has identified nine rainbow flag-waving corporations that gave $1 million or more to anti-gay politicians in the last election cycle.
Deconstructing corporate pride
The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the most prominent organization dedicated to LGBTQ rights, produces a âCorporate Equality Index.â In 2019, 572 companies earned a perfect score. HRC says these companies are the âBest Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality.â
Popular Information identified nine corporations that received a perfect score from HRC but donated $1 million or more in the last election cycle to politicians that received a zero on the HRC Congressional scorecard. The donations were all from corporate PACs to politicians or their leadership PACs.â
