I need help

The story

I am so fucking pissed, you have no idea. I volunteer for a model train club and my job there is to manage their facebook page . We have 3 scales we work with, n-gauge, h0 and G-scale, also known as LGB in Europe because of the brand. As any sane person can see, that has nothing to do with LGBTQA+ groups or even anything at all with sexuality and identity because IT’S A FUCKING TRAIN!!!

We had an ad running asking for volunteers, especially people who know and want to work with the LGB track. Now, some fuckhat on Facebook flagged that as discrimination because god forbid that even if it did stand for a small part of the LGBTQA+, these people would be allowed and welcomed in our group. I took this issue up with Facebook and obviously they ruled the person who reported us was right and we were horrible people. Imagine being so insecure in your own sexuality that you have to get angry at LGBTQA+ people who might want to work with trains so instead of ignoring that ad you have to report it.

Now I’m going to be honest here. I want to really fuck with these people if they even dare to visit us and I’m going to need help with this. I’m on disabled benefits (that’s why I volunteer) and don’t even remotely have the funds for the revengeplan I have. So I’m going to need your help here.

The plan

The plan is to buy a G-scale or LGB locomotive and rolling stock, paint that in rainbow colors, add glitter and whatever you can imagine to make it the sparkliest and gayest thing in existence (ideas are welcome) and let that run every single time imaginable. So that when people who are uncomfortable with anyone that isn’t straight, white male have to suffer the sparkly Gay Train and realize that there is no way to erase us.

Bryanna Marie is inspired daily by her love to paint all things tiny.

Bryanna was born in Tucson, Arizona and painting quickly became her most sought out passion. As time passed with her self-education, she eventually chose smaller painting surfaces to hone her eye for composition and color.

Today, Bryanna pushes the boundaries of her works by focusing on the importance of traditional landscapes while proving that minute things can hold an abundance of wonder and beauty. Bryanna exclusively paints with oils on coins, preferably pennies.

The thing I hate most about depression is that it tricks you into thinking you don’t have depression. It makes you think that nothing is wrong with you, that you just feel this way because you lack value as a person. Whether that’s in your relationships, your academics, or a view of yourself, it makes you think you aren’t good enough for any of that.

“It’s not the illness,” it says, “You feel this way because it’s who you are.”

[adhdedrn]

“Mental illness is like fighting a war where the enemy’s strategy is to convince you that the war isn’t actually happening.”

[disease-danger-darkness-silence]

Me: I can’t get out of bed today, what is wrong with me. I’m so lazy and terrible and I am a huge flake and there has got to be something wrong with me. My brain: There is no war in Ba Sing Se.

Spent the last two days working on this little archery guide in art and writing. Considering the rise in popularity of archers in pop culture this hopefully  comes in handy for a bunch of fandoms.

[hawkeyekingofclueless]

I mean, yeah

[mittebam]

That is very informative and useful!

When the Nazi concentration camps were liberated by the Allies, it was a time of great jubilation for the tens of thousands of people incarcerated in them. But an often forgotten fact of this time is that prisoners who happened to be wearing the pink triangle (the Nazis’ way of marking and identifying homosexuals) were forced to serve out the rest of their sentence. This was due to a part of German law simply known as “Paragraph 175” which criminalized homosexuality. The law wasn’t repealed until 1969.

[crypto-keynesian]

This should be required learning, internationally. 

[stripedsilverfeline]

You need to know this. You need to remember this. This is not something to swept under the carpet nor be forgotten. 

Never. Too many have died for the way they have loved. That needs stop now. 

Make it stop? 

[hollowoutmybody]

I did a report on this in my World History class my sophomore year of high school. It was incredibly unsettling.

[pearlclam]

My teacher shown the class this. Mostly everyone in the class felt uncomfortable. 

[sashadechagny]

I have reblogged this in the past, but it is so ironic that it comes across my dash right now. I a currently working as a docent at my city’s Holocaust Education Center (( I say currently because I’ve also done research and translation for them )) and out current exhibit is one on loan from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum ((USHMM)). This is a little known historical fact that Paragraph 175 was not repealed after the war and those convicted under Nazi laws as a danger to society because they were gay were not released because they had be convicted in a court of law. There was no liberation or justice for them as they weren’t considered criminals, or even victims for that matter. They were criminals who remained persecuted and ostracized and kept on the fringes of society for decades after the war had been won. Paragraph175 wasn’t actually repealed until 1994. And it was only in May 2002, that the German parliament completed legislation to pardon all homosexuals convicted under Paragraph175 during the Nazi era. History has forgotten about these men and women — please educate yourselves so this does not happen again. Remember this history. Remember them.

[jehovahhthickness]

@mindlesshumor ok how the fuck did I miss this when I’ve studied The Holocaust like nobody’s business??? wtf

[thereadersmuse]

Because the history we have left regarding it is literally the contents of this first hand account.

It is a thin little book.

When I first opened it, I wondered why it was so thin.

Why there wasn’t other books like it.

Other first hand accounts.

By the time I finished it, I didn’t wonder anymore.

The Pink Triangle: The Nazi War Against Homosexuals by Richard Plant

Bent by Martin Sherman (fiction; however, it’s often credited with bringing attention to gay Holocaust victims for the first time since the war ended)

[gemfyre]

This is one of the memorial sculptures in Dachau.  It was erected in the early 60s and is missing the pink triangles.  Because in the early 60s, homosexuality was still a crime in most of the world. Our tour guide explained why the pink triangles have not been added later - if they were, then folks would assume that they had always been there.  This way people ask “why aren’t there pink triangles?” and somebody can explain why - because in some ways, the rest of the world was as bass-ackwards as Nazi Germany.
