this morning NASA abandoned their mars rover Opportunity (aka Oppy) because it (she) got hit by a storm on Mars and it knocked her camera and wheels out and her last words to the team were “my battery is low and it is getting cold”. I know she’s a machine but I’m devastated. Oppy is the one who discovered water on Mars. RIP oppy ily space baby

‼️BOOST‼️

My name is Mikey Peattie and I am a transgender student at Lake Dallas High School in Corinth, Texas. One of my teachers, Dr. Fionn Corcoran, is the first openly transgender teacher in our district, and possibly in the greater Denton/Dallas-Fort Worth area. In the month or so since he came out, he’s faced not only discrimination from students, but from his employers and fellow teachers as well. I made an LGBTQ+ safe space sign for his door, and before his coming out, it got ripped down maybe once or twice. Following his coming out however, the sign was torn down almost daily, and I would just keep making more in the hopes that maybe it would last for more than a day.

When all the smaller posters were torn down time after time, we decided to make a bigger poster, this one with the names and numbers of various suicide and LGBTQ+ hotlines on it, and even this one has been torn twice in the past week, both times by the same two students. Though these students were caught on camera in the act, their behavior was swept under the carpet as them just “having their own views,” and Dr. Corcoran was subsequently told that they may be forced to write an apology note and make a new sign, but that was it. The fact that these kids, and others, repeatedly tore down signs that were intended for nothing else but to make a certain group of people feel safe and accepted clearly shows the atmosphere of hate and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric that is present at Lake Dallas High School.

Earlier this year, the Gay-Straight Alliance that I am Vice President of put up around 20 posters around the school. It was subtle, and simply just had the name of the club and the meeting dates. By the next day, only about 4 remained, and within another day, they were all gone. Even when I saw someone tear one down right in front of me, and reported it, the student was simply required to write an (anonymous) apology letter to the club, one that was clearly scripted and took him maybe 10 minutes.

These occurrences, which could be characterized as hate crimes, show the staff’s indifference towards the safety of its LGBTQ+ staff and student body. Dr. Corcoran, despite being one of the most highly qualified and considerate teachers at the school, has been reprimanded for situations that any other teacher could find themselves in without the administration blinking an eye. They are systematically trying to push him out, without causing a scene that would ruin their image.

I and many others have stood by for too long letting this kind of abuse occur, and have finally had enough. We write to you hoping that media attention will force our admin to provide a safe environment for its LGBTQ+ students and staff, and make our school a better place.

Please please please spread this, without media attention, my school will be able to continue in its patterns of neglect, endangering its LGBTQ+ students, whilst protecting those who would try to put us in danger.

I know I've stopped posting and checking tumblr since the content ban but this is really the only place I have to vent this and I'll probably delete it later or something..

I've been with my partner for a little over 1yr 3mos,so today is our second valentines day together.

I'm not a material person and I know it's a manufactured hallmark holiday but I've always really, really loved valentines day and thought it was cute and sappy and romantic etc etc

last year i got him a bunch of cute stuff and he didn't get me anything, but we'd only been together a little over 3 months at that time so while i was kinda bummed i didn't think too much on it. and it was after that and him feeling kinda bad at the time that i figured it wouldn't happen again or anything like that. w/e

I've been so excited for this year and have been shopping for stuff i knew he liked. I got a heart tin of dove dark chocolates because I knew he likes them, I got him a white diamond tshirt and a pair of his favorite brand of underwear, and I searched around till I found a perfect card. it's all wrapped up waiting for tonight.

we were hanging out yesterday and I briefly mentioned "i finally finished my valentines shopping" just to be vague and cute and tease him. I didn't expect a response of anything beyond and "aww" or something. but he straight up looks at me and says "i haven't gotten you anything yet" and I have NO clue why he would say that like i needed to know that so I just.. stared into my coffee and changed the subject. I was with him hanging out all day yesterday and slept over. he took me home this morning before he had work. and he's coming to pick me up for dinner immediately after he leaves work. his lunch break is only 30 mins and he has to use most of that time to grab food and beat traffic. so I know that if he didn't have anything by yesterday afternoon, he's not gonna have anything tonight.

I don't care about jewelry or expensive junk or anything. but just some kind of thought that counts kinda thing? like I would be perfectly touched and content with a dollar tree card and one of those single fake roses they sell. or like, literally just the dollar card. or, even if he just cut a piece of paper into a heart and wrote i love you on it and spent absolutely 0 money whatsoever, I would still be so happy and grateful because it would be the thought and care.

I know he cares and I know he loves me, but the lack of thought is really hurting me right now. I'm gonna be sitting, dreading all day, then getting super prettied up and getting my gift ready just to like, have to face this reality later. it sucks.
