Happy aromantic spectrum awareness week! Aromanticism is a valid part of the community and comes in a spectrum of different romantic identities! Aromantic doesn’t mean they are completely unopen to the romantic aspect of relationships.

Happy Black Queer History Week! Black queer individuals have played a vital role in advocacy and overall culture in the queer community for decades. A lot of slang terms, identities, and cultural practices/activities have had influence from the black queer community. And many areas in the USA and other countries have also flourished due to the individuals who bravely continued to be themselves. There are many black queer figures we celebrate for their advocacy work and refusal to conform to heteronormative societal norms. Thank you all for your hard work!

Happy Pansexual Pride day!

December is HIV/AIDS Awareness Month! The LGBTQ+ community, more specifically the gay/mlm community, have historically faced higher rates of contraction of the virus. There has been a lot of awareness and programs surrounding STIs such as PrEP, Doxy PrEP, and advancement of management medications. But the most powerful tools are prevention via barriers, pre-contraction medications, and testing. Safe sex is the most effective method of staying STI free!

Happy Polyamory day! Love is free, no matter if it is monogamous or polyamorous.

an absolutely humungous update they just keep getting better

I think this needs an important addendum:

Not only did Billie Eilish donate $11.5M, she also called out a room full of billionaires, including Mark Zuckerberg, directly to their faces, saying "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but, yeah, give your money away, shorties."

The $11.5M she's donating is about 1/4 if her net worth. Imagine if a billionaire did that? If Mark Zuckerberg donated 1/4 of his net worth, it would be about $55 BILLION... and he's still have over $100 billion left.

And, yet, unsurprisingly, people are mad at Billie Eilish for what she said and not at the billionaires for hoarding all the money and resources
