The Trevor Project needs help holding upper management accountable for sudden devastating layoffs, and silencing those attempting to speak up about it!

The Trevor Project is a US-based nonprofit organization that provides support for struggling queer youth, providing 24/7 phone and text lines as well as other resources and community for many queer youth who are struggling to find support and a sense of stability. For those who work for this project, their jobs have meant everything to them, and the layoffs came suddenly, without the employees being able even so much as give feedback during this announcement.

"On the morning of June 14, The Trevor Project sent a meeting invite for 1:30 pm EST (2 hours before the meeting start time). The meeting was titled "988 Updates." In this brief meeting, staff at Trevor Project and staff contracted through Insight Global working for Trevor Project were informed that almost half of this 988 staff would be laid off and the last day for those folks would be July 2, 2023. Coordinators of the meeting from both Trevor Project and Insight Global turned off the chat feature and opened the Q&A, but have yet to still answer the questions asked by the staff. Leaders were stiff, emotionless, and cold while reading off of a script as if they were not destroying lives by what they were saying. 988 counselors and staff were also told not to stop taking crisis chats while this was happening, leading to our own self-crises while trying to support contacts. This was a highly unprofessional and inconsiderate meeting with life-changing news."

This has been utterly devastating for both the project, and those who are losing their jobs. Those affected were given a two week notice. As this is a primarily queer organization, many of those affected by these lay-offs face discrimination in their careers and have struggled to find jobs outside of queer affirming organizations.

As of writing this post, this petition only needs 255 signatures to pass, please sign if you agree that those in charge need to be held accountable and provide answers and solutions for the problems and damage that has been caused. You can also share this post, or the link to the petition itself to increase visibility. Thank you for reading.

We stand in solidarity with The 988 Trevor Project Team United.

Hello everyone.

I'm going to try very hard to only post about Good Omens after today. I'm scared, I'm sick, and I feel completely confused and lost. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way and I wish I had more reassuring things to say. For now, we have to take it one day at a time, that's all we can do. I can catastrophize all day long but we don't know how things will go day to day.

Hey everyone. How are we doing? If you stumbled on this post because you follow me on Tumblr, I'm guessing the answer is NOT GREAT. Me either. Hoof.

But something that makes me feel a little better is taking action, and turning bits of my skill and time to something productive, which is why I've decided to offer ongoing decorated toploader commissions to you, the fine folks of the internet. For the low (well, reasonable) price of a ten dollar or more donation to one of the listed organizations (or the vetted Palestinian fundraiser of your choice, there's too many for me to list, but you can certainly find some reblogged here and elsewhere) I will decorate a toploader holding a trading/photo card of the character/celebrity/pet/etc of your choice.

You may have seen some of my deco jobs here on my blog, but if not, here's an a few pieces of my work. (You can find more by searching my blog for "decorated toploader")

These are just a few I've done in recent months!

I currently have HUNDREDS of vintage Marvel and Sailor Moon trading cards in my possession, but if I don't have your favorite character, I am happy to make a custom card (like how I printed out Hannibal and low-poly Otacon above). I'm tagging the fandoms I know, but I'm more than willing to do whoever your favorite is. (I may just need a little context to get the vibe right.)

I will be mailing your card to you (domestic or international) in a standard envelope, this way I can use a regular stamp instead of fussing with postage/customs/etc. And you don't have to pay shipping (unless you really want to have me send it as a tracked package). I haven't had any issue with cards arriving this way thus far, especially within the US.

If you are interested (and I hope you are) send me a proof of your donation (dated 11/9/24 or after) of $10 or more to one of the following:

The Trevor Project

Trans Lifeline

National Network of Abortion Funds

ACLU

OR the personal fundraiser of any Palestinian in need!

I can usually knock these out fairly quickly (2-3 in an evening if I'm in the zone) but you can always check with me if you need them ASAP. (Say, maybe for a holiday gift for your fandom friends? Eh? EHH?)

I hope you'll consider helping out these organizations as we brace ourselves for a difficult time. Even if you can't donate at this time, a signal boost is ALWAYS welcome.

Thanks again for checking out this long long post- wishing the best for all of us. <3

“if you’re transgender, you have to live”

art is powerful, so i want to do something good with it.

i’ve listed this drawing as mini prints and stickers on my ko-fi, where all profits will be donated to the trevor project, since they are a reputable organization that creates safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth. prints are $5 each, and stickers are $3 each. worldwide shipping.

young trans kids who are very afraid right now. I am looking you in the eye and holding your shoulders. It Will Be Okay. I remember being 13 and feeling like it was doomsday when I realized I was trans under the presidency of Donald Trump. if you were too young to have been majorly affected as a trans person last time, and this is your first go around, I know how terrifying that can be. so listen. he can do some things federally, and that's automatically shitty, but he can't do everything. local governments still have most say over nitpicky things like bathrooms. it's not over just because of the white house. here's some things to keep in mind for minors figuring out how to be themselves in this time:

you've got the Trevor Project. it's got browser history safe features so you can talk to them without getting caught by your parents. they're a hotline, as well as being able to direct you to other resources.

libraries are your friend. most of them host inclusive events for minorities to find community in, as well as having queer fiction and nonfiction. personally, when I was getting my passport at my local library, the woman helping me wore an asexual themed lanyard and had the ace black ring on. they're safe places, pretty much anywhere.

go to your school's GSA if they have one. I was an officer at mine, and let me tell you, numbers help. we got more resources and sway at the school the more people showed up. when the club was large enough, the school would fund us going on a field trip to Pride. plus, it's an automatic safe space away from home, and you can easily call it chess club.

don't feel pressured to come out. you don't owe it to anyone, not a single person. it's entirely your decision, and if you feel even slightly unsafe or just plain out don't want to, you don't have to come out. okay? some people will try to force you. they are not in charge of your identity.

eventually, if college is in the cards for you, know that universities are safe places. mine allows me to change my name on the website without showing my family. there's usually at least one LGBTQ support group, if not a dozen. most people you meet will use your pronouns and your name without questioning it. unis are massive hubs for queer people and allies, even if you're not even a student yet
