Black Power and Gay Pride aren’t mutually exclusive. the first pride was a riot led by trans black women.

feel free to use!

Ok, y'all. I've seen the shit commentary, I've seen the "lolololol wtf is this why wouldn't you show your face at protests, don't you want to put your face out there?"

And THIS IS WHY. Cops are ABSOLUTELY retaliating against protesters for the act of participating in protests. They ARE looking at your social media and using it to trump up charges. They've been doing this for... ever.

If you don't care for yourself, fine. Take that risk yourself. But you don't get to make that decision for other people. Don't upload identifiable information about other protesters. This isn't about "Main Character Syndrome" or whatever ridiculous shit you've convinced yourself of, this is happening.

And if someone is actively telling you to put your face out there on the internet and the face of others being at protests, either they're SUPER naive about the potential consequences of doing so, or they're not actually on your side. 🤷‍♂️

Personally, I'm leaning toward "there are a lot of uniformed and naive people out there," because I don't think cops are out there acting like jackasses on Tumblr. But like.

Don't be one of those people. Don't encourage people to upload images of the faces of protesters or shame people for not wanting images of themselves uploaded.

Don't.

Day 1 of Tumblr’s #ActsOfPride campaign:

These are the black trans lives we have lost due to violence in the United States since 2009. Sadly, this is most likely not a complete list as many of the souls we have lost go unreported or were misgendered. They will not be forgotten.

top table energy: three siblings squabbling over plans, taking it too far, and then hugging it out.

bottom table energy: four friends dressed in all black and wearing sunglasses in their garage, one of whom steps up to a microphone to announce "so yeah, we're Yasha and the Orphan Makers and this next song's called Killed My Whole Family (Oops). 1-2-3-4!" followed by the discordant sounds of a bone flute, tiny spirit piano, electric rock harp, and Veth screaming.
