it's like, very clear that young adults and late teens who want to be freaky queers with eye numbing aesthetics are in the right direction towards understanding sexual liberation and queer history but are clearly not strong enough to leave their lil private discord servers where they lolcow "problematic" transfems and other "unacceptable" queer people

You think you're staying "informed" by doomscrolling through your social feeds 24/7? That's exactly what they want. It's literally designed to keep you angry, scrolling, and - most importantly - doing absolutely fucking nothing.
HERE'S WHAT NO ONE TELLS YOU:
It's OKAY to edit your feeds so you don't see that shit when you're just trying to exist
You do NOT have to consume the world's suffering every second of every day to be a "good activist" - and by the way? You're not even getting "informed" by scrolling. You need to actually look up real articles OFF of social media to understand what's happening
Hitting like and share isn't activism. Sorry. It just isn't.
You wanna actually do something?
Learn your neighbors' names. ACTUALLY TALK TO THEM about what's happening
Join your school board and ask them face-to-face why they're against queer education
Stand up to your racist uncle instead of "keeping the peace" (peace for WHO exactly?)
Find out what abortion rights groups are ALREADY DOING in your area instead of reinventing the wheel
Join an actually inclusive church (you know, like Jesus would've wanted) and see what they're ALREADY DOING to make the world better
And for fuck's sake, stop saying "oh I don't talk about politics" - YOUR SILENCE IS POLITICAL
NEWSFLASH: You don't have to start the fucking underground railroad by yourself. That shit ALREADY EXISTS - you just never had to use it before. Lucky you. So volunteer if you're a safe person, at whatever level works for you:
Send money
Show up in person
Pack supplies
Make pamphlets
Whatever you can do
Not everything's gonna get you in the history books and you know what? IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER.
And here's something else that matters: Going to trauma therapy - REAL trauma therapy with a therapist informed in decolonization practices - is a RADICAL ACT. If you have the means to do it, DO IT. Healing yourself is part of the work too.
AND LISTEN UP BECAUSE THIS IS IMPORTANT: IT'S OKAY THAT IT TOOK YOU THIS LONG IT'S OKAY THAT YOU'RE STARTING SMALL IT'S OKAY THAT YOU DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING
NO ONE EVER PUNISHED THEMSELVES INTO SUCCESS.
You grew up with some racist/sexist views? Yeah, most of us did. You can't get stuck there. There's too much at stake. It's time to deconstruct. It's time to do the work.
But scrolling and sharing posts while feeling guilty? That's not the work. That's what they want you to think the work is.
Get off your phone. Talk to your neighbors. Show up at meetings. Stand up to family. THAT'S the work.
drew over something i wrote for a class and liked :] sorry the cars are lowkey ugly, its because I fucking hate cars and cant be bothered to learn what they look like beyond ominous hunks of metal

6 Tips for Crossing the Road
Look both ways
The road is for cars.
Make sure to look for them before crossing. Even when you have the right of way, cars have a lot of safety features and you have none.
Use designated crosswalks
The road is for cars.
So is the crosswalk but, under brief and temporary conditions, you can use it too! Never jaywalk, never walk in the road, just hope there is a clear and functional sidewalk.
Cross at the light
The road is for cars.
There are rules and signs for them, but that can only go so far. Walk quickly and hold your breath and hope that the light doesn't turn. Make eye contact with drivers as their cars teem with potential energy, rumbling with disdain at the inconvenience of your crossing. Try to ignore the cloud of exhaust that you are in and they are above.
Leash your pets
The road is for cars.
Obviously.
To you, it may be natural to sacrifice so much space to them but to your dog, it is not. His instinct is to explore freely. You must curb it. Modern US car models have such high hoods that the average child, let alone dog, is obscured. Even on the sidewalk, hold the leash tight because the sidewalk (if you are so blessed) is next to the street and the threat still looms.
Look out for road kill
The road is for cars.
And no one was there to leash the deer.
Or the raccoon.
Or the cat.
Did you know that the most reliable sample method for wildlife in an area is looking at the roadkill?
Remember these tips
The road is for cars.
Cars are everywhere. In the city. In the suburbs. In the country. In the woods (the US Forest Service manages more roads than the entire Ministry of Transit in China.) Cars are everywhere because there are roads to bring them there, which is great if you are a car and want to get from place to place fast without worrying about the in-between.
Unfortunately, you are not a car.
You are an animal.
You are in-between.
So remember to look both ways.

We need to stop telling people to check out of politics. Bro, you just don't want hear us bitch. Trump signed to end an anti-discriminaton act. My home state is trying to make divorce impossible. People have every right to be pissed off. Let the negativity fester. Maybe then we'll get shit done.
going to say something stupid but
with the way things are going now, i think killing people who ruin and oppress the lives of millions is morally right
Resisting tyranny takes a lot of forms.

hey if you’re a federal worker you may want to use a vpn and check to see if the “american accountability foundation” (elon) doxxed you. suggesting a vpn bc there’s an IP logger on the domain.

“And during the darkest days of the AIDS crisis we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night, and it was the dance that kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.” — Dan Savage
keep dancing. keep finding joy. keep fighting.
Buses are very tolerant of humans and not skittish at all. Trains are much less tolerant and they get scared easily ... Trains hate when their way of life /schedule is disturbed. Even a small deviation will be very stressful for a train. While buses are used to it. They have to deal with cars every day so their tolerance is very high. Buses are like large herbivores. You can't push them over or make them do something they don't like. You may train it but they still go their own way most of the time. Very independent. While a train doesn't know what to do when it sees a plastic bag on the tracks

gen z we gotta stop TALKING about revolution and just DO IT. i know we're screen kids and the internet is a large part of our lives but the only way to get the people in power to listen us is meeting them at their level in the streets and fucking shit up. they don't care what we're saying on the internet. remember in history class saying how we would've killed hitler given the chance. well now is our chance.
my infographic! the flag redesign and symbol are also both mine ꒱
can also be shortened to GP movement
we DESPERATELY need this movement because trump is destroying the rights of LGBTQ+ (especially trans people right now), and i want our voices heard!! our body, our fucking choice!! neither nature or biology adhere to the male/female binary!! hrt and gender-affirming surgeries is life-saving and extremely beneficial healthcare, more people regret having children than medically transitioning!! i'm tired of rich old cis men making decisions about what's best for my body!! i'm a proud nonbinary transsexual who uses neopronouns!!! i just want a happy and normal life like everyone else!! is that too much to ask for?? I JUST WANT BASIC FREEDOM AND EQUALITY TO EVERYONE ELSE.
Now is the time to create.
Musicians, artists, writers, use this anger and injustice to fuel your creations and encourage change.
Songs have been rallying cries, banksy's art is known all over, books and articles have told stories of rebellions

hi you may want to read this if you live in the US and are a trans minor, supporting a trans minor, or are a teacher/school official for kids k-12.
soooo... from what i just read in horror on whitehouse.gov, it's essentially going to be illegal moving forward for teachers to support trans kids in any way, shape, or form.
it sounds like this includes school counselors assisting with students' transition with things like using their correct name and pronouns, or just counseling them through their transition at all. not sure if this means school officials will just be completely silenced on this matter or essentially be forced to .. force kids to de-transition or stay in the closet.
it sounds like any school official definitely will be forced to deadname and misgender trans youth in school, and face legal repercussions and/or lose their jobs if they don't
here's the excerpt i found about this in the executive order "ending radical indoctrination in k-12 schooling" on the official whitehouse site:
(note specifically part iii)
here is what they define as "social transition":
so yeah basically. i dont know. im terrified for our trans youth in america right now.
im in shock and not really able to give any advice right now other than if you are close with a trans youth please support them, check in on them, keep them safe.
remind them that life is worth living and there are people out there fighting for them. if anyone has any other insight or advice please feel free to add to the post.
and yeah just please stay safe out there bc shit is getting scary. to all my trans siblings of all ages i love you. please keep living, even if just to spite this nasty motherfucker.
