Genuinely, please ultize calling your representatives. I don't care what color your state swings, it all can be altered by the number of people who actively participate in our legislation process. Your voice is the most powerful tool and it must be used if you want things to get better, not just for yourself but others as well.

Make it a part of your routine; I will share that I have started to call them as apart of my morning walk to work because by the time I get out, the lines hours are closed.

I know it can be stressful talking on the phone, but Friend, it's very low stakes. Everytime I've spoken to someone, it's almost always a kind intern who's just collecting your statements. You don't even get to speak to the senators directly and you can call them as often as you need until they Do Their Job.

Let them know how upset you are, show them what you really care about.

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are feeling the wrath of constituents as their phone lines light up with complaints, worries and confusion over Elon Musk's efforts to gut government programs and fire longtime civil servants.

I've started a new job after being unemployed for a scary minute.

I am very grateful because I got rejection after rejection after rejection email for a couple months.

That being said; I am realizing that since I am in a new work environment, my default personality is Odd Quiet Guy.

I bought my first pair of trans pride socks when I was 16.

I wore them until the holes in the heels made it hurt to wear them.

I was 16 and one of the only out students in my high school.

I was 16 and I felt scared to use the men's restrooms, despite having permission.

I was 16 and half of my teachers wouldn't use my correct pronouns.

I was 16 and my classmates whispered behind my back.

I was 16 and Trump had just been elected.

I was 16 and thought I wouldn't survive long enough to vote in the next election.

I was 16 and I was very scared.

I'm 24 and I bought my second pair of trans pride socks today.

I walked home with them clear on display.

I'm 24 and I am a teacher at a high school.

I'm 24 and I wear my boots with rainbow laces to work.

I'm 24 and my students call me "Mr." without hesitation.

I'm 24 and my students speak freely about their partners around me.

I'm 24 and Trump was just re-elected.

I'm 24 and I've voted for two presidents now, even though we lost this time.

I'm 24 and I'm still here.

I'm 24, despite the odds.

And then I will be 32.

And then I will be 40.

And then.

And then.

I will buy another pair of socks.

The Story of Mohamed Hussein Ismail and His Family: A Journey of Struggle and Hope 🕊️🍉🗝️

I am Mohammad Hussein Ismail, a 23-year-old Palestinian from Gaza, reaching out to you during these unimaginably difficult times. My life and that of my family have been profoundly changed by the war, and today I write to you, hoping for your support and assistance.

My Family 🕊️❤️

My family consists of five members: my mother Raja (51 years old), my father Hussein (58 years old), my sister Iman (18 years old), and my younger sister Noor (13 years old). We used to live a simple life filled with hope and ambition before the war turned our lives upside down.

On a grim night at the onset of the war, our neighborhood was relentlessly bombed. The blasts shook our home, compelling us to flee into the darkness, navigating through sporadic explosions, desperately seeking safety. By morning, we reached southern Gaza, seeking refuge in Rafah, our hearts heavy with sorrow for what we had lost. 🕊️🍉🗝️

In this brutal war, my father was injured, severing tendons in his finger due to relentless bombardment. Due to malnutrition and rampant diseases, my sister Iman contracted hepatitis, exacerbating our suffering. We endured the cold winter within the confines of a tent, and the scorching summer heat as well, trapped inside due to harsh weather conditions. Unable to stay together as a family, we were forced to scatter and flee once again from Rafah due to intense shelling, seeking refuge in Deir al-Balah within the Gaza Strip, where our struggles continued in search of safety and hope for survival.🕊️🍉🗝️

Now displaced, we endure an immensely challenging life, filled with hardships. We struggle tirelessly to prepare food over open fires, to fetch water, and even find a place to sleep. We've lost the basic comforts of life. Due to inadequate shelter, severe infections have ravaged my body, and I've grown exhausted in the quest for treatment amidst the scarcity of medicine.🕊️🍉🗝️

Our plight is desperate, and we implore your support to rebuild our shattered lives and secure a future for our family. Your kindness and generosity can bring about a profound change. Your contributions will provide us with the means to find safe shelter, access essential medical care, and obtain the basic necessities of life we so desperately need.🕊️🍉🗝️

I had an old account that was deleted, and I am pleading for your help in sharing the new one. Our only hope is that you can help my family survive this brutal war. 💔🙏🌹

Please, we plead for your help during this critical time. Every donation, regardless of its size, brings us closer to safety, stability, and the opportunity to rebuild our shattered lives.🙏🌹

✨️DIY Top Surgery thoughts manifested✨️

This was supposed to be for Queer Pride Month, but it can also be appropriate for Queer Wrath Month.

Might make stickers from this, or print, who knows. 😏
