this is so so important to me and mine, and I'm asking you to Do Something so I'll respect your time and keep it brief

in the UK, if 100k sign a a government petition it will be brought to Parliament and debated. y'all know this country is suffering from some 80s-style bigotry right now, and this is one symptom: almost 200k fuckholes have come together to force the government to discuss whether it is 'appropriate' to tell children that queer people exist. this is a big symbolic victory for them. and i am burning with fury.

please, if you're from the UK, sign this counter-petition so they can at least see how much of a minority they are. simply put, the attempt to put these bastards in their place isn't gathering enough steam. there are barely 2000 more signatures now than there were this morning, and that isn't enough. i refuse to let these people feel even a moment of victory or satisfaction. please help.

let me say something about grant and women’s sports that I don’t think many people know. he traveled to spain earlier this year to interview barca’s women’s team. he got long and very productive quotes from the team’s best players. he could’ve stopped there, he already had the story. but no, he stayed, he interviewed pretty much every single player there. and then he transcribed/asked the for translation of every single interview, even though he already knew he wasn’t gonna use some parts.

wanna know why? because he said they took the time to talk to him even if they didn’t have to, so the least he could do was to return the favor and go through every single thing they said. that’s respect. both to the women he interviewed and the profession.

in a world of glorified bloggers and people who rush to post breaking news on social media, he took the time to write actual stories with real sources. he took the time and actually invested in women’s football. he focused on everything and everyone, not just the stars. he treated everyone with the respect they so rightfully deserved.

today truly is a heartbreaking day

btw he could’ve traveled to qatar and post regular stuff like every other person is posting, things like “can’t believe I’m here covering a(nother) world cup, yay” but no, he willingly risked his life by wearing a rainbow shirt and by reporting all the human rights violations around the tournament, while being in qatar. he knew the risks, he thought it was more important to be true to himself and to his job. it takes some balls to do that.
