Also I Learned About This Project Called “queering The Map.” The Idea Is That In The Past Gay Neighborhoods

also I learned about this project called “queering the map.” the idea is that in the past gay neighborhoods and gay spaces were very clearly defined bc it just wasn’t safe to be yourself anywhere else. as lgbt+ people become more visible and accepted many feel that we are losing our connection to those spaces

so every dot on this map is basically someone’s queer experience: coming out, meeting their future wife, seeing another gay man in public for the first time, anything you can think of that truly left a mark on them

it started in Montreal and is primarily English-language with most pins dropped in the US, Canada, and Europe, but there are people all over the world who’ve shared their experiences. it’s great to look at places near you but it’s also great to see that even people in places you thought were the middle of nowhere are happy with themselves and finding community and living their lives

716 billion dollars. Seven hundred sixteen billion U.S. dollars.

One billion is equal to a thousand millions. This is seven hundred sixteen billion. This is an insane amount of money.

Think of the millions of human beings on this planet who don’t have homes, who don’t have jobs, who wonder whether they’re going to be able to afford to eat tomorrow. Then think about the seven hundred sixteen billion dollars that we spent on the military. Just in 2019.

https://www.pgpf.org/chart-archive/0053_defense-comparison

This ^ source says it was 732 billion dollars from October 2018 to September 2019. I’m sure you could find different sources listing 705 billion, or 720 billion. The exact number does not matter. The fact is that there are people dying of hunger while this unfathomable amount of money goes to the military.

This ^ source isn’t related to the military budget or other government spending, but I found it to be useful in helping to understand exactly how much a billion is. We could help so many people with 716 billion dollars.

true crime youtubers are so annoying when they’re like “they got a lawyer immediately and refused to take a polygraph test so thats suspicious 👀” that’s not suspicious that’s called being smart
