Update on the Situation of LGBTQ Refugees in the Rainy Season🙏🏳️‍🌈

Hello everyone,

I want to take a moment to give you a quick update on what’s happening with our LGBTQ refugee community. Right now, we’re in the middle of the rainy season, and it’s been raining for almost seven hours each day. These heavy rains are causing devastating floods that not only seep into our temporary homes but often dismantle them entirely.

As you can see from the pictures , the rain gets everywhere soaking every belonging we have and sometimes sweeping them away altogether. The situation is incredibly dire, and with nowhere to turn, it feels like an endless battle just to stay dry and safe.

These conditions have made it even easier for diseases like malaria, cholera, and typhoid to spread. We desperately need stronger, more reliable tents to provide shelter. Each tent can accommodate at least 15 people and costs around $350 to $400.

We are pleading with well-wishers and the global LGBTQ community to stand with us during this incredibly difficult time. Your support could make a world of difference in protecting our lives and giving us the dignity of a safe space to weather this storm.

If you’re able to help, please consider donating through our GofundMe and ko-if or sharing our story to help us reach others who might be in a position to assist.

Thank you for your compassion and solidarity. Together, we can endure even the heaviest storms.

With gratitude.

To those who are in queerphobic and unsupportive environments: please, no matter what happens, do not give up hope. Somewhere, out there, there is someone like you who is thriving despite everything that the world has thrown at them. In the ways you can, search out and find those stories, and find people that show you just how valuable you are. They are out there, and online community is just as valid as in person. You do not need to be out to be valid, and only come out when you know it's safe and you've got a plan.

If this blog can provide you with some comfort and affirmation, that's all we want. And we're genuinely glad it does.

‼️ URGENT ‼️

Ashely Phil has reached out to me to share this video!

Although groups are being sent to Canada, they still need resources like food and water, medicine, tents, mosquito nets, repairs (especially because of the destructive rainy season), warm clothes and suitcases, etc. It is dangerous for the LGBTQ+ community, since the environment is so hostile and hate crimes are common.

Please consider donating, and please share!

Love for Heartstopper

Okay, I'm really pissed off at Netflix right now and I'm trying to get my ghost boys back. So I've been on their Insta page a lot, leaving comments.

They just posted a cute video for Heartstopper S3 where the two boys are kissing (link).

This video is currently being flooded with homophobic hate comments and gifs! I haven't seen this much hate on any of their other posts in the last month and it makes me so angry! I don't know if there is a group specifically organized around this video because the other posts on Heartstopper don't look that bad.

So I would like to ask you to leave a nice comment on this post, whether you like Heartstopper or not. I think we should all stick together for all our queer shows. Maybe that way we can counteract the flood of negative comments.

PS Sorry for tagging all the fandoms, I know it's a bit like spam, but I just want to reach out to all the fandoms I am an active part of!

I decided to finally write about some of the struggles I face as an independent artist. Tumblr has always been an incredible space for me to introduce my music to new listeners. So withy get if you come across this check out the links and enjoy the words ❤️

IG: justymusic

TikTok: justjustymusic

An open love letter to music.

Why is music feeling like watching every kid in the school yard get picked up before me.

My mind flashes back to that feeling seven year old me embraced knowing I would sit on the cold after school lunch tables until the final call. A late evening met with an early morning every day.

But music was supposed to be safe. When I found room to be above mediocre I clung to it for dear life. Remembering the words of the first teacher who saw me, truly saw me, and how she believed in my own lyricism even at its earliest stage.

I was so hungry when I was young. Staten Island could never offer the hug a queer black kid needed, but music could.

Home didn’t understand the sadness underneath budding teenage frustration, but music could.

I met music on a first date with no expectations but in queer fashion, maybe I fell too fast.

She took up my days. Multifaceted and engaging.

She became home and a safe space. She brought out the best in me. Introducing me to all of her friends and favorite places, putting me in rooms with people I’d be invisible to until I opened my mouth, hit the mic.

Maybe in my bliss I never stopped to consider this to be unrequited love.

We never needed all of affirmations when we first fell and yet now I find myself watching the single digit counts of comments or lack thereof.

I wonder if anyone is listening as I go to share another piece of myself to no avail.

Maybe I was sharper when I met her, yet now I watch as seemingly everyone around me makes it to those places I told her I’d take her- and even worse, I ration with if I never will.

There’s guilt as I see 29 stretching out to me, how lucky am I to meet another year of life- luck not offered to my cousin, yet how terrifying to know the projection the industry throws at me.

Even as I dodge, I become scorned thinking of how easy it seems for everyone else. The virality and colossal rise. Their talent not mine, their shine not mine, their wins not mine.

When will it be my time?

Will it ever be my time?

My days are spent helping future leaders secure their future, and yet I write and erase Plan B on what used to be my “anything is possible” journal.

Still, there is that hopeless romantic in me.

Wondering if maybe it wasn’t the right time, but the time may simply be on the way.

I know time waits for no one, but as I keep throwing my heart at the wall, I wonder where I will stick.

Personal Emergency: Broke Up With Girlfriend, Need to Build New Camp to Continue Community Service

July 24th 2024

After five years of dating and community service my girlfriend and I are no longer seeing eye to eye. What that means is that I and my community service projects are going to need a new home.

Additionally, in the summer heat I have been overworking and undereating and not taking enough care of myself. If I don't start giving myself the same care I provide to others there will be no one to operate these services.

I need $150 to start building a new community center and also $50 to help me take care of my personal needs.

My health has been deeply suffering. This has been one of the most difficult times I have ever faced in my life, please help if you can.

Cash app: $ThistleDD

Paypal: Paypal.me/ThistleDD

Venmo: @ThistleDD

Everything you give either goes to restoring the community center project in a new place or helping me recover from malnutrition.

Thank you!

Urgent Call for Help: LGBTQ Refugees in East Africa Need Your Support🚨❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🙏

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out today with an urgent plea for help. As a representative of LGBTQ refugees in East Africa, I am witnessing firsthand the unimaginable hardships my community faces daily. Our situation is dire, and we need immediate assistance to survive.

We are a group of individuals who fled persecution in our home countries only to face continued violence, discrimination, and neglect in the refugee camps where we hoped to find safety. Many of us have been attacked, our shelters have been destroyed, and our belongings stolen. We are left exposed to the elements, with nowhere to sleep, no protection from further attacks, and limited access to life-saving medication.

Right now, we urgently need:

• Food: Many of us are going hungry every day, struggling to find even a single meal.

• Tents/Shelters: Our makeshift homes have been destroyed, leaving us vulnerable to the weather and further violence.

• Medical Care: There is a severe lack of access to basic healthcare, and many of us are injured or in poor health with no means to recover.

This is a call to action for anyone who sees this message. We need allies who can advocate for us, raise awareness about our situation, and connect us with organizations or individuals who can provide the support we desperately need.

Please share this post widely and reach out if you know of any resources or agents who can help us. Your voice can make a difference in our fight for survival and dignity.

Together, we can show the world that no one should have to suffer simply for being who they are.

Thank you for your compassion and solidarity.

With hope

hi tumblr 10

hi. no art today. ik, the "hi tumblr"s are mostly art, that's my bad. but i need to get shit out,, nothing heavy just. yeah.

okay. look. im sick and tired of seeing furry, therian, lgbtq, etc etc hate. i hate it. i dont care if any of the listed killed your entire family and looked you in the eyes evily, that doesn't mean all of them are bad and you should hate them. sure, some people are weird, especially furries, but not all of them. im a therian and lgbtq myself and im not afraid to say that. if you don't support that, get off my and my friends blogs.

ive seen furry videos, and they're great and you look through the comments and see stuff like "go find your father" or "ew furry" or anything negative like that. makes me angry and i want to appear in their house and commit crimes.

remember when i mentioned i was a therian? people have called me a furry so many times, even just for normal people things. i need my hands but also my pencil? hold it in my mouth. but im called a furry for that. somebody playfully bonks me and i go AAAA in a silly way, and im called a furry. that doesn't even make sense. now when it's actually more animalistic, just slightly, like catching yourself on all fours, your called a furry. like erm. excuse me. if i threw you down a flight of stairs and you catch yourself on all fours, does that mean i can point at you and call you a furry? no, because id go to jail for attempted murder.

lgbtq+. what did we do to you.

what did queers and furries ever do to you for you to hate them? did you grow up being taught we're bad? because if you did, we aren't. here's a clearer example, credits to cheezyfellow; if a tree falls on you, you can't resort to hating every single tree. it was just one, and none of the others did anything to you. that's like furries and queers. some furries are a little bit weird, a queer probably killed your family, but that doesn't mean all are bad!

i know the little mention of therians here. we're not too known, and the first thing that comes to anyone's mind when a human wants to be an animal, or is like an animal, is a furry. i dont understand the hatered. we didn't do anything.

enough of ranting about the hate. hi, furries, therians, queers, everybody! i love you guys /p, you are so welcome in this blog, if anyone bullies you for who you are, come into my askbox, give me their name and address, and we'll go give them a fate worse than death together. you guys are amazing- if you got this far, even if you aren't one of the three but support them, why don't you go take care of yourself? go get a drink of water, get some food, love yourself for who you are. people that don't support you guys can go explode. dont listen to them. you're supported, this blog is a safe place for you guys <3

Hello,

I apologize for reaching out like this and hope I’m not inconveniencing you. I’m a queer refugee from Uganda currently residing in the Gorom Refugee Camp in South Sudan, where I’ve been in exile for nearly five years due to life-threatening threats related to my sexual orientation.

I represent over 300 LGBTQ+ individuals who are in urgent need of support. Any small donation you can make would greatly aid our survival. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this message could help us reach someone who can.

Your support could make a significant difference in our lives.

Thank you for considering.

Please!! Share and help ifyou can!!

With my “Dad being supportive about me being trans” post blowing up, I figured I share him being supportive about my bi/pan/queerness.

I was like 16 when I came out to him. I remember being so anxious- I had never seen him be homophobic, but he was also an old Baptist Boomer from the Bible Belt, so I was nervous. Plus, at that time I was dating one of my best friends (we are both AFAB). So I came out and explained I was dating someone. I fumbled, struggling to get it out, and he just went, “It’s [REDACTED], isn’t it?”

He then explained that he kinda knew I was queer and was dating my best friend in secret, but he didn’t want to push me to come out before I was ready. He wanted me to do it on my own terms and just hoped I’d feel comfortable enough to share it with him.

Me being queer didn’t stop him from being an Embarrassing Dad tho, so it’s not uncommon for him to be like “I saw someone you’d find attractive today lol.” And either show me a picture if they were some celebrity/ athlete or describe them if it was just someone around town. The worst part honestly is that he’s always right. Please, I don’t want to be perceived like this by my father. You shouldn’t know My Type so well. I perish.

The closest he’s ever come to being homophobic is when he was teaching me how to drive and I made way too many, “But I’m too queer to go straight!!” Jokes.
