hey heavy. thanks for the coffee and sandwich.

i guess i haven’t been feeling too good lately. i forget to take care of myself emotionally and i wind up real sad.

i’m a trans guy, and a lot of people i know, i can’t tell them that. it sucks having to hide. i hate it.

it’s a little foolish, but i honestly wish i was one of you guys. i even named myself scout. you all are so cool, and strong, and you’ve got a team and a purpose. i’m just sort of drifting. feels like it, anyway.

man, i bet you give the most wonderful hugs.

thanks for being here. there aren’t a lot of people i can talk to about this sorta stuff, ya know?

(i didn’t expect to, but i cried actual tears reading your post. thank you.) <3

Ello new scout comrade,

You are vvelcome for food and drink. We all have things to say, you just need the friendz. Everything will be alright.

*head pats*

(Mod here, I'm non binary in a conservative family, so I totally feel you bro.)

Can I get some comfort? I posted this to a local queer Facebook group to derision from an admin and a user. They act like I am a traitor to the community for even consider doing this for my safety in a private sector of my life...

For those people who need to hear it, there is nothing wrong with going back into the closet for your own safety. You aren't less queer because you can't be queer publicly. You aren't less trans because you have to act like you're not trans.

If you need to start going by your old pronouns or quietly go back into the closet to be safe - you are allowed to do that. Please do that if it means you're alive.

Your safety is important.

You are important.

And if you know someone who has to do this, don't push them. Don't out them. Follow their lead. People's safety is more important that grandstanding.

Hello, I came today with urgent appeal for help 🚨‼️

Today, I am overwhelmed with despair 😔

I want to say thanks for every support, but the donations have been minimal, and my family's need is urgent ‼️🙏🏻

We are currently in a critical situation—if we can just make it through this phase, things may improve 🕊️

I want to remind you that my husband is in the north, and I am alone with my children in the south 😔

Communication is bad; the last time I spoke with him, he described the situation as catastrophic and stressed the need for significant improvements as a first step 🙏🏻

I sincerely hope that my family will never be left to face this struggle alone after everything we've endured 😩

Your contributions are what can help reunite us in a safe and livable place 🕊️

I urge everyone to donate, no matter how small, or at the very least, amplify our plea by sharing and engaging with our message 🙏🏻

Please don't abandon us— we are utterly exhausted 😔

🌟 Our campaign is vetted by 🇵🇸 @/gazavetters List at #291

Thank you all for your support 🙏🏻

Love this. Thank you so much for posting it.

My 90yr old Irish Catholic grandpa doesn’t miss with my gender. He’s never gotten my name wrong, or my pronouns, never even faltered over it.

It’s all so natural too: son, big man, young man…

We’ve never talked about it. He’s the only one who hasn’t pushed for details. He just accepted it and carried on because it’s not a huge deal.

It’s so comforting.

This works for YouTubers as well lmao

Conscious Connection Spree

Where would you go on a shopping spree? Embarking on a shopping spree for me is an adventure that goes beyond the usual consumer hotspots; it’s a quest through spaces that champion creativity, sustainability, and human expression. Independent bookstores are my starting point, where each book is a portal to diverse narratives and overlooked voices. These treasures challenge norms and embrace the…

Original post in this thread is a tweet by Lakota Man @ LakotaMan1, posted on Twitter 3:09PM (PST) 4 April 2023:

MAGA: “I’m switching to Coors Light.”

Coors Light: “The fuck you are.”

The tweet is accompanied by two images. The one on the left shows a can of Bud Light beer with rainbow graphics, inclusive pronouns and the slogan "Celebrate Everyone's Identity", all in support of the LGBTQ+ community. The image on the right is an advertisement for Coors Light beer, and has rainbow-colored graphics, the headline "Refreshingly Proud" and statements of support for the LGBTQ+ community.
