hiatus (please read all of this if you can, if you can’t read all of it just read bolded parts. like if you read, ok to rb.)

Hey.

It’s hard to write this post. I was going to delete my blog, but I talked to a couple people and comprised.

This all started with that damn Dear Mr. Miranda post. Guess what? I still stand by what I said. Lin Manuel Miranda is not a good ally, and standing on stage saying “love” 15 times doesn’t make him a better one.

Consider this: sending people - especially mentally ill minors - hate actually has an effect. As of today, I officially have 134 hate messages, 81 of which carry the messages “kill yourself”, “i hope you fucking die you ugly rat”, “drink bleach motherfucker lin is amazing”, “kill yourself you fat motherfucker!!!” (i’m assuming that was a Hamilton reference) and more. I called my friend sobbing and had to stay on the phone with her for hours.

The support I’ve received is overwhelming, though. I’m glad I could connect to people.

To Lin stans: I do not like Lin, and I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to accept that. Not everyone is going to like your “linnamon roll” in your life span, and you can’t attack anyone who doesn’t. Lin said the mf n word and that’s not something you should be all “oh yeah he should apologize but he’s still perfect” about. His musical also glorifies slaveowners/racists. Black people have made amazing posts on this which have been ignored, so I do hope mine isn’t the only one you pay attention to. (as I’m nonblack, I’d never want to speak over black ppl about this, so lmk if I am and I’ll take down this part).

I dread posting this. Everything I do, I’m getting hate for. So I’m done. I probably won’t return for at least a month, and if I return and this hasn’t blown over, I will be deleting my blog for my own mental health.

I haven’t filled my queue up. I want anyone who comes to my blog to see this as the first post and really think about your actions.

I’ll be on later tonight, but I won’t be posting. I’ll just be answering private messages. I’m sorry if I hurt anyone. I love you guys.

Much love and regret,

Antoinette

(P.S. The Hamilton fandom is worse than superwholock.)

hey, sending you love. you are brave and valid and important.

thank you so much. i really, really needed this right now.

ssonyarostovaistrash

you are neither brave, valid, or important. you’re a grubby little bitch who pretends to have hallucinations to get out of owning up to the shit YOU started. you deserve everything bad happening to you right now.

ssonyarostova

hi! did you know that on tumblr you can be reported for malicious speech? i’ve gone ahead and done it, and i recommend other users report this blog too. <3

#caps //#i don't pretend to have hallucinations lmao im guessing this is battle-of-yorktown

ssonyarostova

Friendly reminder: don't dish the heat if youn can't take it :) and Lin didn't send ANYONE to attack you AND how was Lin supposed to know youre a minor?! It doesn't say that in your bio! Grow up *eye roll*

u just said *eye roll* as if you’re in a 2005 fall out boy x reader roleplay i think you’re the one who needs to grow up

ssonyarostovaistrash

why not just answer the question instead of dodging it? i get that you still wanna play the victim but damn.

ssonyarostova

omg i have a hate blog does that mean i’ve finally #made it

hey, sending you love. you are brave and valid and important.

thank you so much. i really, really needed this right now.

Don't you think that by not mentioning gay or lgbt in his song made it better? It conveyed the literal point that love is love and shouldn't be labelled. Labels confine people when really you should be able to be in love with whoever. Just saying

Hi hello, I'm a huge lmm fan and I wanted to thank you for bringing to the light that he said the n word at all. As a black woman, I'm very upset and I feel as if he should apologize but you don't deserve the hate you're getting at all. What he did was shitty and he needs to be dragged for it. Thank you so much for doing this.

ahh ty for this message! but tbh i’m just saying what others have been saying for months

Thank you for your post about lmm. Thank you for holding people accountable, fandom and creator.

Thank you for being supportive. <3

u just said *eye roll* as if you’re in a 2005 fall out boy x reader roleplay i think you’re the one who needs to grow up

I'm trying to get everyone's reason why they hate Lin for writing his poem so much. Not trynna start anything I just wanna know.

http://ssonyarostova.tumblr.com/post/147427543774/dear-mr-miranda-a-letter-from-a-young-lesbian

why should Lin not say the n word? he wasn't using it negatively, just quoting Daveed talking about a song lyric. I'm sorry if you've already explained what you think about this :( I would also like to say that none of the hate coming your way is deserved at all - I don't necessarily agree with what you're saying about Lin, but I'm not gonna be an asshole and tell you to hurt yourself. have a good day and keep your head up :)

alright so i know i said i wasn’t answering asks tonight but for this one i’ll make an exception

thank you for being polite but

1. anyone who is not black should never use the n word ever even if it’s a quote

2. never

3. never never never

dear mr. miranda (a letter from a young lesbian who thinks “love is love is love” is bullshit)

dear mr. miranda,

i am 6 years old. i bundle up my courage and hold it in my chest, too conscious of the bubble of fear inside my throat. i push my voice out, timid and small, “why can’t we have two moms in house?” their looks say it all.

dear mr. miranda,

i am 10 years old and the pretty girl named spencer says if i do her homework for her she won’t tell anyone i have a crush on her. her smile is kind and daisies are growing in her eyes. i take the paper silently, eyes focused on the floor as if it held her heart.

dear mr. miranda,

i am 12 years old and i am getting death threats in my locker. i am not allowed to be gay. i look up “how to like guys if you’re a lesbian” that night.

dear mr. miranda,

i am a teenaged gay girl living in a world where i can not walk down the street holding my girlfriend’s hand without fear of being killed. i am supposed to grin and bear it. i am supposed to accept straight “allies’” veiled homophobia with sweet smiles and congratulations.

i am in pain. i am being killed every day. you dare to capitalize off my suffering, dare to make a song out of my tears. you are what i’m supposed to be happy about. i am supposed to be overjoyed that you used my sexuality to create a song to make you seem like a better person.

dear mr. miranda,

you are straight. you can write your songs and proclaim how love can not be killed, but love has been killed and will continue to die in the periods at the end of your sentences, in the commas, in the music you spin so craftily. you are praised for being an ally, but it is not enough. you are making money off of the deaths of my sisters and brothers and siblings and i am ordered to stand by and smile at your “thoughtful gestures”.

dear mr. miranda,

you’re proud. you think you’re a good person. but you will never be good enough, never be enough to be the dirt thrown over the grave of my best friend.

dear mr. miranda,

fuck you. fuck you for making money off of the weight of the world on my shoulders. you say that it is hard to carry and you are praised, but i am the one carrying it.

Oh my fucking God, shut up. Lin is donating all of the money to the Orlando shooting fund. He made that song out of respect, not for you to shit on him and act like you’re so oppressed just because you’re gay.

ssonyarostova

Lin responding to criticism that he is profiting from the suffering of LGBTQ people with the song Love Make the World Go Round, which he recently released with Jennifer Lopez to raise money for Proyecto Somos Orlando and be a positive force in our culture right now. A bisexual Latina woman in Orlando who knew victims of the Pulse shooting has shared this in response to this kind of criticism.

Here is what the organization this song is benefiting is doing in Orlando:

Five women found themselves at a makeshift shelter a day after the Pulse nightclub massacre last month talking with victims’ families and friends, and realized something was missing.

Many of the families didn’t speak English, seemed distraught and confused. They needed help but didn’t know where to turn.

The women stepped up, partnered with dozens of local groups and launched the fundraising and awareness campaign, Proyecto Somos Orlando, aimed at providing a variety of services to those in the Hispanic community affected by the June 12 shooting.

“We realized very quickly that the vast majority of the families were Hispanic and that we wanted to make sure our response was culturally competent,” said co-founder Zoe Colon, director of Florida and Southeast operations for the Hispanic Federation.

In less than a month, the campaign has helped more than 300 people receive counseling and mental health care, Colon said.

Their efforts are just beginning.

Unlike other campaigns aimed at distributing cash directly to the victims, Somos Orlando focuses on care and getting people the immediate help they need – from trusted sources in their Hispanic community, Hernández said.

Services include case management, crisis intervention, mental health care, legal assistance and educational programs. That can be anything from treatment, help with transportation or bills.

The goal is to continue providing the services long-term, Hernández said.

Those in need of assistance can call 407-382-9079 or go to Somos Orlando’s home base at 6900 S. Orange Blossom Trail, Orlando.

Orlando Sentinel July 8, 2016

As the victims’ families navigate a heavy burden of paperwork and funerals in the aftermath of the June 12 massacre, local Latino leaders are concerned about how the trauma will manifest in the tight-knit Latino community weeks, months, even years from now.

Topping the concerns is this: The infrastructure for such long-term treatments in Florida just isn’t there. Florida ranks 49th in the nation for mental health funding, according to the Orlando Sentinel. And disparities in access make it difficult for Latinos to receive whatever treatments do exist in the state.

To help chip away at barriers to access in the Latino community, Colon and other Latino leaders formed a group called Somos Orlando, or “We Are Orlando,” within hours of the shooting. The group’s mission: to offer services tailored to the Latino community. The services range from transportation and grief counseling with a bilingual staff to helping families of undocumented victims affected by the shooting.

Counselors in the organization have made home visits to some of the survivors and families of the shooting victims who were afraid or unwilling to leave the house.

…but it remains to be seen whether Somos Orlando receives the necessary private funding to keep operations afloat, long enough to help those who surface over the next month with mental health needs.
