Remember that you’re staying alive for all of us. This is a group effort and the most important thing that you can contribute is your continued existence. Things can get better but it takes all of us.

Walks, music, fanfiction, dancing, and chocolate are all things that have saved my life, find the things that will save yours.

R.I.P. Dorothy Allison, Aries femme lesbian southern literature extraordinaire 💔💔💔

Here’s a quote from her essay “A Question of Class” that, as someone who has always felt spatially/culturally discordant, resonates with me more and more as I grow older. We read this essay in my Intro to LGBTQ Studies class. I had to miss class that day, and I still wish I had been in attendance, because the essay is amazing.

Arkansas is the red headed stepchild of queer activism. Folks like to point at it and be like "lol look at the backwards hillbillies and how stupid they are, can't wait for all them to die because they keep voting republican." and completely ignore that vulnerable people live here and are being held hostage by republicans

Anyway, as a transgender person living in Arkansas I want to bring some attention to the fact that Governor Huckabee Sanders is mandating that all Arkansas IDs must match your Assigned Sex and you cannot have "X" as a gender marker.

Miss "Steals several thousand dollars of taxpayer money to send her friends on a trip to France with her" Huckabee Sanders is a fucking threat to trans people in Arkansas.

anyway, fuck that little boot-licking pissant and his song "Rich Men North of Richmond." what an absolute crybaby.

if you want to listen to a song about living in poverty, being crushed under the boot heel of gentrification, etc, that isn't sucking up to conservatives or making other poor people out to be the problem, and focuses on how that's a shared experience everywhere vs. the extremely tired North vs. South trope, might i recommend Adeem the Artist:
