Watching the elections hurts so bad. Because it’s no longer they voted for someone I dislike. It is they

- voted against my right for disability accommodation

- they voted against my sister right to love who she wants

- they voted against my friends feeling comfortable in there skin

- they voted against my mother being worth more than a wife

They voted against me and the people I love. They voted against our fundamental rights. And seeing HOW MANY fucking hurts. Do 62 million people really hate my existence that bad? Do 62 million people really think my sister doesn’t deserve happiness? Do 62 million people really see my mother as nothing more than a uterus?

Can 62 million people really be this hateful?

This is a reminder to:

Never mention a possible pregnancy/abortion to anyone, especially not through a social media app messaging service such as messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, Snapchat, etc.

Delete all period tracking apps and to start tracking using a planner or physical calendar

Book appointments for a form of birth control if possible, or to always carry condoms for yourself and other

Look into sterilization options if that is the route you want to go down (here is a list of 1000 doctors willing to sterilize you without a fight)

Protect your fellow person, protect the women in your life, the queer people, the disabled people, everyone will be affected by this

Form communities. Tell your people that you love them. Protect one another. Check in on one another. None of us are alone.

this country truly just hates women so much it would rather vote on a literal piece of shit with googly eyes than any woman even the most qualified. at this point I'm just disappointed not surprised

i'm so scared

what will happen to my future

Everyone, take a deep breath.

Now, I cannot tell you what's going to happen for certain. All I know is things are gonna get more tense as steps will be taken backward and people will become more divided.

As we regroup, the first thing we need to do is evaluate the cards each of us hold. It'll look slightly different for each of us. It could be aspects of your identity that act as a protective factor. It could be your financial standing, education, connections, or platform. It could be the city or state you live in that allow more opportunity for progress.

After that, you assess the risks. That means determining where you are in terms of safety and how to protect yourself. What that also means is asking yourself what risks you are willing to take. I'm a stubborn ass who has no qualms taking direct action and the only way I'm leaving is if I'm dragged out kicking and screaming. I know that's not something that can be expected from everyone, but for every person that lays low, we also need people who are willing to take those risks and cause a scene.

These two components come together in the actions we take. Petitioning and protesting. Donating and volunteering. Providing counsel and sanctuary. Supporting nonprofits, libraries, and local businesses while boycotting the corporations working against our best interests. Educating ourselves, listening to people being affected, and raising kids to be empathetic people. Most importantly, it means voting at every level every time, not just when there's a candidate that aligns perfectly with your views.

And it is so tempting to find someone to blame, especially when half the country voted for this guy and a bunch of people didn't vote at all. You're scared. You're angry. So am I. These emotions can be useful tools, but they can just as easily devolve into hate—it's the easiest way to think in the face of uncertainty, but the least productive. Don't let the powers that be convince you that your neighbor is your enemy. We are only doomed if we stop having each other's backs.

Just remember, do not let Donald Trump outlive you. Even if out of spite. Don’t let that happen

[babylulururu]

If you are queer, poc, a woman, disabled, or any of the minorities trump targets, remember: killing yourself would be letting him win. We will not let hate win. We will survive, even if out of spite and nothing else. We will not give that to him. We will outlive him. We will win.

I truly hate living in the US. Like I should not have world ending anxiety every four years where I sit in the fetal position because we are this close to fascism. I am so fucking tired.

Hello! Unfortunately I'm a usamerican. I'm trying to find & create lists of resources for queer/poc/ disabled people/ etc.

I read in your go fund me post that you & your partner have experience moving countries/ immigration. Can you give any tips or resources? I know most people can't leave, but it might help somebody. Plus, it feels good to just do something & anything helpful rn.

Thanks!

Yes.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is one of the safest cities in the world for LGBTQIA+ people.

It also has its own airport.

An American citizen with just a passport can stay legally in Mexico for 180 days with little to no paperwork.

That renews if you are out of the country for 3 days.

If you get a remote job (I'm a YouTuber/podcaster), you can feasibly live there instead forever.

If you are trans and live/move there too, message me after my move-in date of January 7th and I will show up to protect you.

I'm certain this is on Tumblr somewhere, but I haven't seen it around, so I'm sharing it myself

just wanted to say that i'm seeing headlines everywhere say "floridians rejected an amendment to secure abortion rights" and that is NOT TRUE.

we voted ~57% to enshrine abortion rights in the florida constitution. amendments for our state require a supermajority, aka 60% to pass. this is bullshit and we were set up to fail.

the entire time, our governor Ron Desantis' officials were pressuring and threatening media outlets for publishing anything supporting this amendment.

don't believe the bullshit headlines. floridians wanted abortion rights.

Anything going on today lol
