Anyways, the people who have scrubbed the queerness out of history win when queer people put up their hands in defeat. When we act like we have nothing to do with the preservation and learning of queer history, we are falling into a trap that was built to slowly erode our connection to our past.
It's frustrating to see people act because queer history isn't easy to access, and there is nothing they can do. Because so so many people have spent their lives, have ruined their academic reputations, and worked tirelessly to put this information out there. Sure, it's not in every high school textbook yet, but it is reaching out waiting for you to meet it halfway. It's worth the work, I promise.

Did you guys know there's nothing inherently wrong with selfish thoughts and desires and there's no such thing as thought crimes or thought sins and a balanced amount of selfishness is healthy and adaptive for living things to have and it's fine to act selfishly as long as you don't harm others

Taras Shevchenko and Ira Aldridge by Heorhiy Melikhov, 1963
Famous Ukrainian poet and artist Taras Shevchenko befriended the African-American Shakespearean actor Ira Aldridge, while the latter was on tour to the Russian Empire in 1858. Shevchenko did his portrait in pastel. It is recounted that the two men got along very well. While posing for the portrait, Aldridge sang African-American songs to Shevchenko and in return, the artist taught him Ukrainian songs.

Please give your attention to Abed and Shahed. They are a lovely couple from Ghazzah who has 2 young children named Adam and Mohammed who is a newborn! Unfortunately, they are separated. Abed is all alone in the North while Shahed is in the South. And as you know, the North is experiencing catastrophic famine due to the blockade while the South is going through heavy flooding due to the rainfall and high tides. Prices for basic necessities has been sky rocketing, diseases have been spreading, and many families are starving.
So kindly give what you can give and share! Donations have been awfully slow, so let's pick up the pace! At the same time, Shahed has had her phone stolen, and she needs to purchase a new one!

CHRISTMAS AID URGENTLY NEEDED!!!
Friday, November 29th: Hello, everyone. I’m Gem, a bi, mentally ill, and disabled woman in desperate need of help, as I am struggling to pay my bills in time for Christmas!!
I apologize for asking for help again; as most of you know from my previous posts, I have been struggling quite a lot to make ends meet while on welfare benefits and due to my rent arrears and ever-increasing debt. And to be quite honest, these past few months have been absolute hell for me, and with no other income, I've been relying on the kindness of others to get by.
However, I desperately need that kindness again because, due to avoiding creditor calls and red notices, my debt has been steadily piling up. It is now to such an amount that I can't possibly pay it off on my own, which has left me in desperate need of help.
In the next 30 days, I owe a grand total of £570.85 (Zilch credit £256.07 + credit card £314.78). These balances are due just before Christmas, and if I can't clear them, I won't be able to pay my rent in time for Christmas or get groceries to last me until my next welfare payment in January!!
Again, I know this is a lot to ask, but if anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would save my life, and sharing definitely helps just as much.
£123.78/£570!!!
