Have a very safe, and very happy, pride month. I love you all. š
For any flags not shown in the gif, I still love and support you all, too. Be yourself. Be bold. Be beautiful. If you are in a situation where you can't come out of the closet, feel free to just chat about it. Everyone needs an outlet, whether it be through art, writing, music, etc. I'm always here to chat if need be. Go enjoy yourselves, friends.
Hi, friends.
Iād like to ask you to pass this post on. I think itās going to be remarkably helpful to some of our other friends out in the United States.

Yo, just some talk and thoughts.
It's me, Vi. So, I'm getting hella emotional about my man going away to college in a year. I'm a grade level behind him. I also want to go to college in the area. I want a PhD. I'm hella afraid I'll be cut off by school for 8-ish years of my college and the one year ahead of me that he is. He wants to go far away. So many good schools want him. I'll hype him up all day about going to NY for engineering school, but imma miss him like hell. I just have a hard time dealing with the thought.
A Note On Current Society
Iām a sophomore and soon to be a junior in high school. Today, I ran the risk of a significant portion of my school dying or being at that risk. We as a student body knew there was a risk to our lives.
I personally, and a large portion of my school, have never been to a school where the risk of a shooting wasnāt a significant issue. And we have had enough.
Below are the names and ages of those killed in a multitude of shootings.
My school was almost a statistic. I was almost a statistic.
āStarting with Columbine, there have been 85 school shootings. Those shootings have killed 223 people, including students, teachers and staff. That adds up to 11,100 years of life cut short by gun violence. ā * Any deaths since this article was published are not included.
My school claims to be a family and a United one at that. But we are not. No high school is. And especially not one with students numbering in the thousands. We have groups and factions. We are not united.
But today we were. Today we were untired by fear. Today, today we were untired by the fear that our fellow students may not make it through the day.
Today we were unified by the fear that we could all die today.
We could all die. I might have died if the threat had been real. But it wasnāt. No, the threat was only that, a threat.
But what if it hadnāt been? My school didnāt seem to care. My school has never taught us as students what to do in an active shooter situation. All we have ever been told to do is hide in the dark. Donāt run, hide in the dark.
Someone I go to school with posted this on his Twitter.
āAbout three days ago, on Friday, May 3, [my] High School announced that there had been a threat to the school that had been planned for Tuesday, May 7. The situation was investigated and yielded no results. As a result, the event planned for that afternoon was cancelled and additional officers were assigned to the school for that day. I am not the first person to be posting about this, and most certainly wonāt be the last, but this is an issue that needs to be addressed. Every single student, teacher, and staff member in the school was and still is at risk. If something were to actually happen, the school did not take all measures possible to prevent the threat. As I stated before, I am not the first to address this issue, multiple more of my peers have voiced their fears for their safety, both online, and in school. Some of whom were called directly to the office and given a talk about how āsafeā the school grounds are. A good portion of these studentsā parents completely agree with their childrenās claims, and yet the school has done nothing else to ensure the student and staff safety. We have a right to fear not only for our safety, but for the safety of those around us. I am speaking as not only a student, but a child left under the protection of the school when I state that l and so many others are terrified, and the repression of our fears does nothing to help them. All schools, not justĀ [my own] need to address things like this with more severity and listen to their studentsā concerns. ā
Another friend posted this on Facebook.
"Rumors have gone around that there is going to be a school shooting on Tuesday, May 7th; the principal has said that there isnāt enough information to back it up, and that there will be just a few more officers on Tuesday. lf it does happen, and people are hurt, or even worse, killed, just know: [my] High School did not do everything they could to protect us.ā
The way my school ā protected usā today was by having a few extra police officers around. Thatās all. I spoke to multiple people who were there and thatās what I was told.
I didnāt go to school today. I didnāt go because I was scared if I went into those double doors, I wouldnāt be coming back out. I was scared that if I went to classes, Iād leave them in a body bag. Yes, that is dramatic, but that is the world we live in. Iām 15 and already scared that my friends could be dying around me.
I shouldnāt be wondering if Iām going to outlive my friends until Iām an old woman and trying to beat them.
I was told you did it out of fear
As though the fear of
My fellow students didnāt count
Some of us didnāt make it out
Calling and texting our goodbyes
And hoping we can see family again
Raised here, this is the norm
Even though I cry remembering it all
Death by school shooting is now common
Forget about our families
Or the friends we leave behind, but we
Really donāt.
Missing death hidden in the bathroom
Yet I still watched my friends die
Leaving to return to class,
I cried and sobbed
For my loving teacher and classmates,
Each had a bullet aimed at them **
What if I had taken a sick day?
Would I have had to watch you die?
And watch everyone there sob?
What if you had the flu that day?
Would you still be here?
And smiling happily from your bed?
What if they had sped on the road?
Would a cop have pulled them over?
And saved all of us from that?
What if you hadnāt been shot?
Would I still have my best friend?
And someone I know I can trust?
What if you didnāt know her?
Would you have still jumped?
And landed in the bullets way? **
What if I had been shot?
Would you have made it
Until the next day?
And been there home
With your family?
Iād do it.
If I could go back
And push you out of the way
Putting myself there instead
Iād do it in a heartbeat
I canāt
Even though thatās all
I could ever want in the world
You back here with me
Not in that cold grave
With a bullet hole in your chest
Because he hit you
Your heart has been shot
But mine has been shattered
Because Iāll have to go on
By myself
Without you **

** Poems I wrote after I learned of a school shooting that I feel I should leave here.
One: This is very well written.
Two: We go to school together, and I cannot stand how true this is.
Three: You could honestly edit this around and do it for forensics.
Four: No school or person should ever be a statistic. Ever. The numbers keep rising. Someone died in a Colorado shooting yesterday, at a school. There are shootings that don't always get viral attention like that, though. Who knows how many schools have had threats and actions taken based upon those threats. The world is a scary place.
Restless eyes
Bright twinkling sky
Drifting along the edge of the night
Hear the soft hum of the wind
Make the darkness a home
Within your calm soul
Find yourself in the night
Fall in love with the shadow
Of what once was
Or what can be
See the future
And the past

Things to bring back in books:
Chapter titles
Actually having a synopsis on the back instead of reviews no one will read
Some excellent additions from the notes:
Maps
Indexes of characters and places with pronunciations
Numbering books in a series on the spine
Tables of contents
As an employee of a wonderful book store, I hate to get a glimpse of the back of the book without a synopsis. Breaks my heart. All of the children's books have them and they gradually go away as the maturity age of the book increases.
Alright Lesbians, The Old Flag Sucks And So Does Our ApproachĀ To Fixing It.
So Iāve seen a lot of posts about how the L in LGBT is getting forgotten in posts about us and how people are using the fact we no longer have one unified flag to fly under, as an excuse.Ā
The lipstick lesbian flag was offensive but at least people knew what it was.
The new flags are inoffensive but unidentifiable. Straight people donāt know what our flag is when its two feet in front of them and thatās a designĀ problem.
So Iām here to explain why none of the flags suggested so far have really stuck in mainstream culture and hopefully fix it.
The main reason is our flags suck from a graphic design standpoint. Their purpose is not easy to figure out unless someone labels them. Weāve taken the bio hazard mode of symbolism; pick a sign thatās both memorable and meaningless and through cultural education, assign it a meaning. This is a terrible fucking approach and therefor bad design.
So hereās the checklist:
1) Flag must have meaning
2) Identifiable to everyone. A person who has no idea what a lesbian even is should know just by looking that this flag, is about girls liking girls.
3) Unique and Accessible. Can someone who is completely color blind tell that this is the lesbian flag and not the gay or trans flag.
4)Traditional Color Symbolism. Use the culture your currently in, not the culture you wish to create as no one will understand that yellow is suppose to mean femininity. For now stick with pink.
5) Not Eye Bleeding. No Neon.
6) Inclusive. This aināt just a white lesbian flag, this is an all lesbian flag. If people feel the need to add another colored stripe after the fact to represent themselves, your doing it wrong.
So If We Must Ditch The Old Flag, Try Replacing It With This. I Think With Enough Signal Boosting This Flag Will Catch On.
Symbolism:
The brown fem sign represents all the women of color that first fought for our rights and acts as a reminder to lesbians of color today that they are welcomed.
The white fem sign represents our more privileged sisters who gave the movement numbers.
The interlocking design shows solidarity.
The Pink Triangle is an inversion of the more famous triangle used to label gays in Nazi Germany. Its a tribute to those whoāve been hurt and a light house for those of us that are still hurting today.
The top of the triangle points up and forward guiding us
The base of the triangle reminds us of where we have been and how far we have come
Also meant to look like a couple walking down a never ending street.
The black outline represents those we have lost.
The magenta stripe represents the love we all share
The light pink stripe represents all the trans lesbians that call the community home
The white stripe represents all the non-binary lesbians whom we accept with open arms
The dark pink stripe represents femininity in all itās forms.
FEEL FREE TO USE AS ICON/HEADER/WHATEVER! LETS SPREAD THIS AND BRING UNITY! REPOST, REBLOG, LETS GET THIS FLAG OUT THERE!
ONE FLAG TO RULE THEM ALL!
Alright SOĀ many of yous got in a bit of a huff about it being too feminine despite me pointing out thatĀ āfemininity in all its formsā refers to the entire futch scale because apparently butches hate pink. so here we go butches, I fixed it. I took your color suggestions.
2.0 is here
minor changes were made to the sizes of the stripes and the centering of the triangle.
Clarifications on Symbolism:
feminity in all its forms is now represented by purple.
When I say non-binary Iām referring explicitly to any identity that is not male or female. So that by default will catch all the intersex, genderqueer, agender, ect folk. Sorry for the confusion.
The size of the stripes is not indicative of importance, the small stripes are people and identities, the big ones are feelings and abstract concepts.Itās pretty simple.Ā
For all you knitters out there,
Ā the triangle and the pink stripe can use whatever pink you have on hand for the trans flag, which means youād only need to stock one extra color pink to your yarn stash. for the harder parts of the design id just grab a piece of felt and stitch it into the item like crochet people do with toys.
how many colors does the flag need to have?: 5
2 shades of pink, one shade of purple, one shade of brown, one white. (black optional)
Ā so now that the flag is fixed we can get back to spreading the flag around and hopefully unifying under it.
NON LESBIANS FEEL FREE TO REBLOG!Ā
ITS A BIG HELP TO GETTING THE FLAG SPREAD ROUND THE COMMUNITY
This is an absolutely wonderful and cleverly-designed flag, HUGE kudos to you OP
I am, personally, not a lesbian. I am all for helping the community, though. The flag design is well thought out and I like it.
Itās not arguing, its debatingā¦
Ravenclaw: Hey when you go to your meeting later. Please at least try to be diplomatic

WHY DO I CRY SO DAMN MUCH! FUCK!
Iām using voice to text and half the stuff I just said ended up being in Italian
So I said a bunch of stuff into voice to text and I guess I was talking too fast because half of it was in Italian. Iām still using voice to text because my brain is going way faster than my hands can type happens a lot but itās especially happening now. itās annoying because I have to keep going back and fixing all of the typos. Anyway, another annoying thing and then Iāll get to the anyway, anytime I try and put a comma it put the word comma. Itās annoying. On to be anyways. So I have a competition in the morning. As Viper knows. I am scared half to death. Iām excited, obviously, but Iām also terrified. I donāt know why this one is scaring me so much. I know itās stupid but still. I donāt know. I just donāt like it. Itās annoying. - Raven
Youāll be great. I promise.
- Vi
Yeah, right. - Rae
You will be fantastic.
- Vi
Dude, I didnāt break. That means I wasnāt āfantasticā - Rae
Iām sorry I fell asleep before texting you back last night.
- Vi
Itās fine. I was just overwhelmed and having an anxiety attack. And it had nothing to do with the not breaking, it just had everything to do with sensory overloads and just having an anxiety disorder. - Rae
Again, Iām sorry. Sincerely.
- Vi
Itās honestly not a big deal. I got more from you than I normally get from people. - Rae
Okay.
- Vi
I canāt tell if youāre annoyed at me or not. - Rae
Not annoyed. Been distracted lately.
- Vi
I really need to come talk to you in the mornings at school to check on you. - Rae
I'm good. Mostly.
- Vi
Real talk with Viper
The lack of love in the world is sickening. Never, ever stop a person and tell them everything you hate about them. That shit isn't okay. Be a decent person and compliment them instead.
Quotes, out of context:
"Ya know the feeling of the color teal?"
"It tastes like the smell of the one thing!"
"I just want my pants, man."
"Why are there bubbles. Isn't that full of vodka?"
"WHAT THE FUCK, DON'T TOUCH GERALD!"
"Ass hoe."
Important and Hopefully Helpful Message:
You are loved. Someone cares. People will help you. People will work with you, not against you. It just takes time, as all healing does. You are not alone. People care.
