“Lighten Up” by Ronald Wimberly
Beautifuly written- and drawn.
Damn. Really powerful and beautifully drawn.
This scene holds a very special place in my heart. It was the first time I really started to understand me. I was 16 at the time and I remember exactly how Santana’s words just made so much sense to me. I saw myself in her. I felt her pain, her anger, her fear. She was the first character with whom I really connected. It felt more like she was a dear friend that could understand and help me with what I was going through. Even after all this time, this still fills my heart with hope and affection. I’m really grateful that Naya gave life to this beautiful and complex character. She was so sweet when talking about brittana and Santana. I’ll always look up to her and she’ll always hold a special place in my heart.
I guess I just wanna say: thank you, Naya. Thank you for everything you were and did for me and everyone who felt like they could be themselves because of Santana. I love you! ❤️❤️❤️
IN CELEBRATION OF ROBIN WILLIAMS
21st July 1951 — 11th August 2014
“You’ve got to be crazy. It’s too late to be sane. Too late. You’ve got to go full-tilt bozo. ‘Cause you’re only given a little spark of madness, and if you lose that… you’re nothing. Note, from me to you… don’t ever lose that, cause it keeps you alive.”
— ROBIN WILLIAMS, Live at The Roxy, 1978

I will periodically update the progress amounts. As the goals are met, I’ll mark them as funded and change the colors from green to pink to make it clear. I’m also tagging the ones that could use more attention with red.
Been hearing a lot about “reparations” lately? Well, this is one way to start working towards that, since those in power certainly won’t.
This one has an urgent deadline, August 4th ⬇️
If you are reading this right now, I hope something really great happens to you today.

body positivity has largely failed because people started arguing for attractiveness and romantic prospects instead of respect and dignity
this is truly the best summary of what all of this SHOULD be about
another compilation of links from black trans women in need of help. if you have any links please don't hesitate to add them <3
i knew that tony had confirmed that velma and marcie were a couple but why didn’t anyone tell me he confirmed velma specifically as a lesbian and posted a picture of her and marcie in front of a giant pride flag!!!!!!!!! (source)
i think if a woman says she doesnt ever want kids you should just shut the fuck up and support her
Sorry, Olaf
it got better
Okay so every time I look at the last panel of the bonus comic, I get a mental image of Marshmallow wearing one of those baby carriers with Elsa in it. It is the most ridiculous thing ever and I CANNOT STOP PICTURING IT
This post has officially jumped the shark, I think.
