Okay, So I Try Hard To Cover Global Queer History, And This Isn't Marking A Stop To That, But I Am Aware

Okay, so I try hard to cover global queer history, and this isn't marking a stop to that, but I am aware that most of my audience is American, and I want to address them very directly right now.

Google Removed Pride Month From Its Calendar App, and Stonewall National Monument's "LGBTQ" status was changed to "LGB" on the government website. This is the beginning of the erasure of queer history, not the end. I don't know what the future of the United States looks like, as someone who studies queer history and has done so for many years, I want to share some tools with you.

Now is a good time to prioritize local queer history, Making Gay History is a great project, so is the Digital Transgender Archive, but also check your city and see what resources there are.

Read and buy books about queer history. I have an affiliate list with some of the books I personally recommend.

If you use Google Calendar, repopulate that resource with so much queer history with a free queer history calendar plug-in, it has names from queer history that you can also learn more about for free when they come up. As the author of these articles, feel free to save them, print them off, whatever makes them freely accessible as suppression get's worse.

Use your local library. Email the board about book bans, request banned books, request queer books, and make your voice heard.

Make queer art. Share queer art. Protect queer art. Here is some public-domain queer art to use as you wish.

Keep up with queer news, THEM is a great resource.

All of these tools are currently freely accessible with an internet connection. Queer history is a community responsibility, do your part.

Seeing tumblr users tag their blorboposts with "gay panic" is making me insane. This term does not mean what you all think it means.

Gay Panic Wikipedia page: The gay panic defense or homosexual advance defence is a victim blaming strategy of legal defense, which refers to a situation in which a heterosexual individual charged with a violent crime against a homosexual (or bisexual) individual claims they lost control and reacted violently because of an unwanted sexual advance that was made upon them. A defendant will use available legal defenses against assault and murder, with the aim of seeking an acquittal, a mitigated sentence, or a conviction of a lesser offense. A defendant may allege to have found the same-sex sexual advances so offensive or frightening that they were provoked into reacting, were acting in self-defense, were of diminished capacity, or were temporarily insane, and that this circumstance is exculpatory or mitigating.

The Gaslight District was. So cool. 11/10 I love it i watched it with my mom and SHE loves it, very much excited to see more stuff about it.

It's got super cool designs and colors, and I really like the plot!!

BUT, just like everything i like for some reason, it has a very specific downside, and that downside is that I share a name with Mel from the show.

(Gonna put this rant below a cut so people can ignore it if they want.)

when I watched it, I thought "I'm gonna end up being unnecessarily annoyed by her because someone's gonna ask me if I named myself after her, ain't I?" AND I WAS RIGHT SOMEONE HAS ALREADY ASKED IF MY NAME WAS A REFERENCE TO HER WHAT.

It'd only been like 4 hours since it released when this happened people PLEASE.

Melancholy from The Gaslight District, you are going to make my life SUCH A PAIN if this keeps happening, but I also think you're super cool and I desperately WANT to like you. :((

(To make it clear I like Mel, I just don't like that I'm apparently gonna have to explain that my name isn't because of her to people now.)

"I Hate CassidyVictim" Yeah But What If She Was A Cutie Patootie That Was Doomed To Suffer And Be Miserable?

Anyways i'm a CassidyVictim fan I have like 2 AUs that have CassidyVictim, we have the bonus(?) Of this one being logbook girl too!! :]

I have a vision let's see if I can achieve that vision.

Take a messy sketch for now.

I Have A Vision Let's See If I Can Achieve That Vision.

I might change the colors on "Cadys" outfit because they're SUPER different from ACTUAL Cadys outfit but idk yet. Might pull out one of her other outfits and use the colors from that OR I might keep these colors, still deciding.

Also considered using Cassidys outfit colors but I don't wanna set the rule that ALL of his mimic forms HAVE to use most of his colors because ONE thats boring and TWO that'll make it painfully obvious who he is, so will PROBABLY not use Cassidys outfit colors.

Colors are hard to figure out. Ack. Basically the colors I use for "Cady" are probably maybe placeholder colors idk I'll figure it out later I'm busy right now.

Okay goodbye now.

I am so embarrassed to follow people and like and reblog stuff after I learned that Tumblr tells you when someone follows you.

THEY CAN SEE WHAT I POST OH GOD.

They can see that I make FNaF and Gacha posts oh GOD.

Ik most people probably really don't care but it's embarrassing af... don't look at my stuff please... I'm so cringe...

it's especially embarrassing when the person I follow doesn't make, like, FNaF content or something.

Like don't mind me I am just gonna follow you, fellow Countryhumans fan.

I know I mostly make FNaF and Gacha and reblog, but I also really like Countryhumans and am still working up the courage to post about it more (i have so much Countryhumans stuff im too embarrassed to show because haters have instilled an extreme fear of getting harassed/hated on for liking it in me), I'm just gonna go ahead and follow you. :3

It's. So embarrassing. Ugh.

(This doesn't apply to Transformers tho. I follow like 50+ Transformers accounts thats almost all I get I can't afford to be embarrassed lmao.)

SPRINGTRAP AND HIS BEAUTIFUL DISGUSTING FACE LETS GO!!

🌿 My Name is Rola, and This is My Story 🌿

I never thought I would be writing this. I never thought I would be begging for help just to keep my children warm, just to feed them one more meal. But here I am, reaching out to you, because I have no other choice.

My name is Rola. I am a mother of two beautiful children, and before October 7th, we had a life filled with love and laughter. We had a home. My children had their own room, filled with their toys and drawings. We would sit together on our balcony, drinking coffee in the early morning light. We had dreams, just like any other family.

But in an instant, it was all gone.

🌿 My Name Is Rola, And This Is My Story 🌿
🌿 My Name Is Rola, And This Is My Story 🌿

A missile struck. The earth shook beneath us. The air filled with dust and fire. My husband and son ran, stumbling over each other in terror. I stood frozen, the ringing in my ears drowning out my own screams. Our home was shattered—windows blown out, doors ripped from their hinges. And when I looked outside, our neighbor’s house, a place that once echoed with children's laughter, was nothing but rubble and ash.

That was just the beginning.

The bombs never stopped. Every night, I held my children close as the sky rained fire. The sound of explosions mixed with the cries of mothers searching for their babies in the darkness. I covered my children, whispering words of comfort, but how do you comfort a child who is terrified of dying in their sleep?

We had to leave. We walked away from everything—our home, our memories, the warmth of our life before. My children left behind their favorite toys, their books, their safe space. Now, we have nothing.

🌿 My Name Is Rola, And This Is My Story 🌿

No home.

No food.

No clean water.

No way out.

I went to buy sugar the other day. It cost $20 for just a kilo. Food is disappearing, and the little that remains is impossible to afford. Every day, I fight to find just enough to keep my children alive.

I am exhausted. I am scared. I need your help.

I never imagined I would have to beg for my family’s survival. But today, I am.

Please, if you are reading this, help us. Help me save my children. Help us find shelter, food, a way to rebuild even a small piece of the life we lost. If we ever have the chance to leave, we need support. If we are forced to stay, we need a home again.

Every donation matters. Every share helps. Every voice that speaks for us keeps hope alive.

💚 Please donate if you can. Share our story. Help us survive. 💚
