If you haven’t seen the Fab 5 dance outside of the opening credits, this is for you.

not giving your money to a business that’s currently striking is literally an essential part of a strike.

Amazon brings in over 34 BILLION dollars every day. Even a one-day boycott could mean massive leverage for the strikers – especially if the boycott coincided with one of the most profitable days Amazon expected to have all year, as this one does.

Do not visit Amazon.com on 10 July 2018 (or July 15-16 in the US)!

it’d be cool not to talk about the aids crisis like it’s ancient history and something else can be the “new” aids crisis. aids is the new aids. people are still dying. it’s not a prop.

hi friend, did you know that 1 million people died of hiv-related illness in 2016, including several thousand in the u.s.? did you know it’s a constant struggle for many americans with hiv to access the health care they need to stay alive and healthy, and that on top of that they deal with profound stigma, discrimination, and criminalization? did you know only half of people with hiv in the u.s. have the virus under control through medication? did you know there’s a hidden epidemic of hiv among black gay and bi men in the american south? now you do!

Today In Solidarity (6/12/18): As we remember the two year anniversary of the Pulse massacre, it is important that we reflect on narrative and who gets to write history. In the weeks following the tragedy, police were lauded as heroes for their response. In reality, they dragged their feet in responding to the shooting, sprayed bullets indiscriminately into the club, and have used the opportunity to muscle their way deeper into queer spaces, potentially threatening the safety of them. Survivors have recently filed a lawsuit around parts of this reality. 

Intermittently, we must remember that the victims of this massacre were predominantly Latinx, some even with hazy immigration statuses. The reality is that to this day member of the Latinx LGBTQ community (in Orlando and across the country) experience xenophobia, racism, and classism at the hands of police/authorities. We must not allow the Pulse tragedy to be white-washed. We must demand accountability for the lives lost not just at the hands of terrorists, but due to the cavalier and reckless way police acted in response. #nojusticenopeace #noprideforpolice

The fact that Black Lightning isn’t nearly as popular as the rest of the CW’s DC shows despite being 3x better is proof y’all don’t care about rep when it’s not white. Literally a bullet proof lesbian as a main lead but you don’t care bc she’s black and an activist. If you are bitching about lack of rep in on CW and then sleep on BL you need to sit the fuck down and shut up.

oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no oh no

[pizzaback-deactivated20201011]

this is exactly why the pedo community on the internet needs to crash and burn cause you know all of these poor kids are being actively groomed by people who have fooled them into thinking theyre oppressed and thats absolutely fucking terrifying

[duxwontobey]

burn all pedos and their communities. This is disgusting

[nan0blaze]

@ my followers; i have heard a lot of things about this. do not follow or interact with anyone who has the word “MAP” on their profile page, especially if it says they are pro-contact- and especially if you are a minor.

one important thing to add; do not include pedophiles/maps in lgbt spaces. they do not belong there.

stay safe everyone!!!!

[antipelargy]

What exactly is a map?

[juicemat-deactivated20210705]

map in this context stands for “minor-attracted person,” making it a flowery term for “pedophile”

[antipelargy]

Oh my god what the fuck that’s disgusting

Thank you for telling me I will be sure to never go near a map ever

[pureslime-deactivated20191020]

I was fooled into this kind of stuff when I was a kid - pedophile support groups posing as LGBT resources. They weasel their “boylove” and “girllove” topics into LGBT spaces to intentionally deceive questioning youth into accepting their predatory bullshit.

It’s had long-lasting effects on my perceptions of sex and relationships. I don’t want any kid to ever go through anything like that, or worse.

It’s an adult responsibility to keep children safe online. Report these blogs when you find them, and if you suspect illegal activity, report that to authorities or websites like CyberTip.

Pride month is coming up, so here’s a reminder that the Stonewall riots (in which trans women of color fought for us to have rights) wasn’t about marriage equality, it was about police brutality.

[intergalactic-ashkenazi-deactiv]

yall hear about fucking hb2796

[intergalactic-ashkenazi-deactiv]

NO I’M FUCKING SERIOUS HAVE Y’ALL HEARD ABOUT FUCKING HB2796 WHICH LITERALLY FUCKING EXCLUDES TRANS PEOPLE FROM CIVIL RIGHTS LEGISLATION

[intergalactic-ashkenazi-deactiv]

I’m going to keep fucking reblogging this

[punchanazi-eattherich]

“ No Federal civil rights law shall be interpreted to treat gender identity or transgender status as a protected class, unless such law expressly designates “gender identity” or “transgender status” as a protected class. “

[grimthetransman]

@yall I see ignoring this please dont. I get it its upseting, but this is IMPORTANT information that could SAVE our lives and our rights.

Also this boils down to stripping rights away from intersex and trans ppl from what I understand, meaning that we would no longer be protected under federal law. This is scary. Call your reps and get this shut down as soon as you can. We can beat this together. We need each other right now. Share this, spread this information.

[vijara]

how you can help:

call your local senator and representatives! websites like 5calls tell you your national representatives based on your location and if you use their mobile site, you can call those representatives through their site. they don’t yet have hb2796 on their site, but you can use their system regardless!

here is an example of something you can say: “My name is (your name) and I am a constituent in (your town/city/district).  I strongly oppose house bill 2796, which aims to remove gender identity protections from civil rights legislation by forcibly clarifying “gender” or “sex” to indicate only a person’s assigned gender at birth. Transgender people require civil rights protections as a vulnerable part of our population, and it is extremely important to me that they receive those protections. Thank you for your time and attention.”

IF YOU LEAVE A VOICEMAIL: leave your street address to ensure your call is tallied!

when you call, they will not argue with you, and basically just tally how many people contact them on a certain issue. also, if you want to support other issues on the 5calls site, don’t be afraid to make multiple separate calls! call volume matters and if you call more separate times it will be better.

[skyeshelpfullcloud]

Dammit I hate to use this blog for this but- from one trans guy to yall- this is important!

[jheselbraum]

It looks like this bill isn’t getting fast tracked and is actually going through the entire legislative process so keep at it!
