Can we just take a moment to talk about how disgusting some of the donations are to dream and George. It's getting out of hand and it clearly makes them uncomfortable.

This goes further than the "say I love you to each other" donations, this goes as far as to pestering them about their sexuality, about their personal lives, about their family, friends and questions most would feel uncomfortable being asked by a stranger.

I know my post won't do much, but if speaking out about it can help just a little, I will.

Please stop donations like these.

Think about your reasoning behind posting #blacklivesmatter. Are you doing it to gain justice and equality for black lives? Or simply to be part of a movement without any contribution beyond a black screen? Or are you enjoying captializing on this movement and these protests?

Think about what you’ll be doing in a months time and what you’ll be using your social media platforms for.

Join petitions to better black lives matter.

Join petitions to all the black lives lost who deserve justice.

Petition to defund the police.

Donate if you are able to.

Support black businesses.

Change your own mindset to being anti-racism and to imparting this onto those closest to you.

This is really important. So many other kids and myself have had (or has) parents who are not mentally ready to raise a child. This needs to be known by many people.

Kids need love.

please reblog this if you agree that declawing a cat is animal cruelty and abuse.

trying to prove a point to my dad.

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

Of fucking course

What sick bastard doesn’t

Also, don't say "A transgender." Instead, say "Transgender" or "A transgender PERSON"

PSA

It’s trans, not trans*

It’s trans men and trans women, not transmen and transwomen—trans is an adjective that answers “what kind of men/women"—cis works the same way

Never call trans men FTMs or trans women MTFs without their permission

Trans is short for transgender, it’s not plural for anything—trans person and trans people are both correct

Never use “born in the wrong body” or “used to be a boy and became a girl” or “biologically/genetically male/female”—all are just fancy ways to misgender someone (self identification with these phrases is different)

Transgendered is wrong, so is “a transgender” and “transgenders”

Being trans is not a sexuality nor is it a “sexual disorder” or any kind of disorder at all—gender identity disorder is not a real thing, and being trans isn’t a medical condition

“Transsexual” is generally considered an offensive term and should never be used to describe someone without their permission

Don’t refer to a trans person’s gender as their gender identity, it’s just their gender

Similarly don’t refer to their pronouns as “preferred pronouns"—they’re not preferred, they’re mandatory
