Ruby Bridges is 68. This is not ancient history. Not even close.

just had an absolutely sickening conversation with a 20 year old I work with wherein I had to impress upon her that her and her friends need to be extremely cautious going to the gay clubs right now with increasing attacks happening. make sure any very young, very newly adult queer people in your life know that we're a family and community and part of that is being willing to fight for your siblings lives if they're under attack. even if it's a person you despise, you stick up for your family and they will stick up for you. we are all we have. the cops refuse to help, and so do most people outside the community. we cannot survive without each other

also on the family note, people are weird on here sometimes about allies going to clubs/being in queer spaces, but as long as they're there for us like this, they're family too. they may be a cousin instead of a sibling but we protect them and they protect us. at a recent attack on my local gay club, the ONLY person who was injured was an ally who was a regular at the bar who was knocked out trying to protect the drag performers who were being targeted. this is a family born out of acceptance, love, and safety in numbers, not a vip only club

actually I shouldn't have left this in the tags

[ screen-shotted tags ID: tattoo it inside your eyelids. we are family queer clubs and community centers are our homes. we protect each other because no one else is going to. end ID]

anyways reminder that it does not matter if you're trans, gay, or whatever if you don't support the "weird queers" you do not belong here

if you dont support neopronoun users and people who call themselves slurs and boygirls and xenogenders and aspec people please leave

You guys know how to travel in a car with your canes, right? You know where to put them so they don’t kill you in an accident? You’re not just holding them on your lap?

For the record they go under your feet or under the seat. That’s the safest place for them except the trunk. Pls don’t let your mobility aid kill you in a freak accident

I’ve been driving with my cane wrong the entire time 😃

If this post saves even just one (1) person from ending up with a broken jaw/face/windshield I will be happy tbh

Nobody deserves to have to deal with maxillofacial surgeons or worse…. auto glass repair shops

No offense but the internet gives you the most wrong and fucked up idea of helping people because people get mad if you don't care about disasters happening in 72 countries, meanwhile the people in real life that are doing the most good picked one VERY SPECIFIC thing to care about and care about it REALLY HARD

Walks up to a guy working on restoring a native tree species to his downtown "why aren't you posting about grasses in Turkmenistan!"

The internet has taken a whole generation of bright, motivated, passionate young people who care and have big hearts and turned them into paralyzed, shattered wrecks too crushed by the weight of the world's pain to hand a pair of socks to a person in need

The funny thing is, except for not having even one wired in controller, actual experts in subsea equipment agree that the controller was their best design decision. Game controllers are actually industry standard (although if you use a Microsoft operating system you should really use xbox brand, as the interoperability with all version of windows is unparalleled).

We all start with a heart. Then capitalism turns that heart black and grinds you into dust.
