this is totally appropriate and necessary to start teaching

I promise you, I beg of you all, shutting the fuck up and stepping away from social media to actually educate yourself about a crisis event from reputable sources will always be SO much more productive than blindly reblogging/retweeting fearmongering misinformation-riddled posts and literal military donation links from anonymous people on the internet.

to any trans minors in Texas right now; holy shit. i’m so sorry. that is fucking terrifying. i don’t even know what to say. if you’re in need and need help getting out of Texas pls let me know if there’s anything i can share or do to help. going to New Mexico is your best bet. or Colorado. go west.

for anyone who doesn’t know, there was a policy put in place in Texas as of today forcing all doctors, teachers, etc. to report any transgender minors so that their parents can be prosecuted as child abusers. if they don’t report them they’re in jeopardy of losing their jobs. disgusting. i can’t believe this world is real.

edit* i heard the policy was just an opinion, not a law put into place. either way, it’s terrifying, disgusting, and they need our help

three important things to remember right now:

1. do not share ANY information about the place, the state, and the members of Ukrainian army. don't like it, don't reblog it, don't even write about it.

2. if you want to get information, do not look for carrds or twt threads. turn on your tv, read a newspaper, look for journalists and officials. do not trust random internet users and do not spread the disinformation and propaganda that is already circulating around here. double check every account you see talking about what's happening before deciding to share it further.

3. listen to Ukrainians.

Obviously, I hope that everyone in Ukraine stays safe and Ukrainians deserve all of our support right now but I also wanted to say that my heart goes out to all people in Eastern Europe and Central Asia who have been living with the fear of Russian intervention for years and now see their worst fears come true. I see so many posts about how "we shouldn't worry as Westerners because the war will not affect us directly" and while this is absolutely true, I wanted to take a second to acknowledge those who do have to live with the fear that it might affect them directly. I don't have anything more to offer than words and it's not worth much but if you are from Poland, Estonia, Kazakhstan or any other country close to Russia or Ukraine and you are afraid because you don't know what the current events means for the future of your country, I am with you in thought and sending you a warm hug with this post.
