Before January 2025:
If you are a USAmerican in a relationship that might be affected by legislation that dissolves same-sex marriages, who may no longer be recognized as next-of-kin, especially if you have children, get your rights in writing!
Your marriage certificate may not be enough to prove you have rights to make medical decisions for non-biological children or for a same-sex spouse or partner.
Go to a lawyer, get it spelled out as clearly as possible that you have a voice in emergency medical and legal situations.

With Trump looking on track to win, I just want to give some hope for people right now.
The Senate is Republican, but two years in the future a third of the Senate will be reelected, meaning Trump has at most 2 years to work with an agreeable Senate
Whether or not Trump goes through with project 2025 or not, this will most definitely be our last term with him
If he doesn't do what he promised, his voter base will get mad they didn't get what they voted for
If he does do what he promised, his voter base will get mad when they realise tariffs=higher costs and when their taxes don't decrease
People WILL protest in their states and nationally and either a) Trump listens or b) Trump ignores it and people become more disillusioned with him
There is no way Trump will do something that can't be reversible or managed by the later President
If Trump supporters do become disillusioned, we could see a blue midterm
1/2 of Congress is needed to pass a bill
Just take a breath. It isn't going to be great, but we can and will survive.

i don't know what else to tell you except to be brave and to be kind. take it day by day. go outside and watch the clouds paint the sky. call a friend.
we are still here, and furious. you are still here, and that matters. you can still do and make and be something important. i promise. stay alive. it matters, and you matter. i know it is easy to succumb to anxiety and exhaustion and defeat.
communities can start with tiny ideas. google "dnd meeting near me" or whatever your interest might be. google "volunteering near me." google "support groups near me." start journalling. start a discord. start a book club.
when you close your eyes and hear hamlet, answer his prayer: it's better still to be.

"I exist. In thousands of agonies – I exist. I’m tormented on the rack – but I exist! Though I sit alone in a pillar – I exist! I see the sun, and if I don’t see the sun, I know it’s there. And there’s a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there."
-Dostoevsky // The Brothers Karamazov
#this is a quote that's gotten me through a lot#I hope that this reminds whoever ends up seeing this that#kindness#respect#peace#care#solidarity#love#still exist#that goodness still exists#even if it doesn't right now#please remember that you are wanted#that you are loved#and that you deserve a place in this world#stay with us tonight#because the sun will rise again#steddie

Two things to prop up right now:
The ACLU - They’ll do their best to make sure this dumpster fire doesn’t turn into a wildfire.
The Trevor Project - They’ll be fielding a lot of calls, texts, and chats in the next few days and beyond.

i have been trying for like. months to explain how the relationship between butch lesbians and trans men is not something akin to polar opposites and this is all i got. like it's not like this:
it's a venn diagram with a massive overlap in the middle. i'm not saying EVERY butch is a trans guy and EVERY trans guy is a butch dyke , i'm just saying it looks more like this:
these are not "mutually exclusive" terms- they do not mean the same thing, but we can be the same people, an very often are. there is a long history of butches who identify as FTM, trans men, drag kings, genderqueer, genderfluid, transmasculine, male, polygender, and two-spirit lesbians, and so much more. the relationship between lesbianism and queer masculinity is inseparable and the only people telling you that butches and trans men need to violently separate from one another and be at each other's throats are terfs. even if we do not share identities, we share our struggle together as heavily misunderstood and unseen masculine queers.
we stand up for each other when our identities get confused by strangers, and we get misgendered. we stand up for each other when terfs and terfpilled people tell us that transmasculine people and men can't be lesbians, when people say "butches just want to be men", when people say "butches aren't real women", when people call each of us bull dykes and trannies, when people mock the way FTMs walk and talk and look, and when people tell trans men they're "just butch dykes in denial". we stand up for each other and understand each others struggles.
whenever a butch lesbian asserts they're a woman no matter how masc they are, whenever a trans man asserts that they are a man and not a butch, whenever a butch struggles to be seen as both a man and a lesbian, and whenever a trans man returns to the lesbian community while embracing their manhood, we are part of the same community, we share the same struggles, and we owe it to each other to stay strong.
we are not enemies. we are bedfellows, lovers, family, spouses, partners, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, siblings, friends, each others support networks, even if we don't share identities perfectly. whether you are butch and a woman, butch and a man, butch and something else entirely, a male, ftm, genderfluid, polygender, genderqueer, transmasculine, nonbinary, two-spirit or whatever else you may be lesbian, you are part of our family and your experience is worth being heard.

Israeli forces were bombing residential buildings in Rafah so intensely that shrapnel fell on tents, where displaced Palestinians were sheltering after being literally told by Israel itself that this was the “safe zone,” and killed two children. Reminder that the death troll in east Rafah stands at 24, and Israel still claims that it will be continuing its ground operation on Rafah full force. So heartbreaking to see Palestinians fleeing over and over—on their own land—only to be cornered and massacred anyway, almost as if it was intentional all along. This is not the time to be slowing down. This is the time to be pressuring reps and funding humanitarian aid.
