you're welcome
and most importantly, stay safe out there and keep on surviving. we're in this together, no matter how much they try to pit us against each other.
Okay, so I try hard to cover global queer history, and this isn't marking a stop to that, but I am aware that most of my audience is American, and I want to address them very directly right now.
Google Removed Pride Month From Its Calendar App, and Stonewall National Monument's "LGBTQ" status was changed to "LGB" on the government website. This is the beginning of the erasure of queer history, not the end. I don't know what the future of the United States looks like, as someone who studies queer history and has done so for many years, I want to share some tools with you.
Now is a good time to prioritize local queer history, Making Gay History is a great project, so is the Digital Transgender Archive, but also check your city and see what resources there are.
Read and buy books about queer history. I have an affiliate list with some of the books I personally recommend.
If you use Google Calendar, repopulate that resource with so much queer history with a free queer history calendar plug-in, it has names from queer history that you can also learn more about for free when they come up. As the author of these articles, feel free to save them, print them off, whatever makes them freely accessible as suppression get's worse.
Use your local library. Email the board about book bans, request banned books, request queer books, and make your voice heard.
Make queer art. Share queer art. Protect queer art. Here is some public-domain queer art to use as you wish.
Keep up with queer news, THEM and Pink News are both great resources.
All of these tools are currently freely accessible with an internet connection. Queer history is a community responsibility, do your part.
"Message to all Americans" / "Why don't Americans just..." / "How are all Americans this stupid" / "The thing I wish Americans knew..."
Please god please we know we see it we're feeling it we're living it
We see the horrific things happening in the world, we see the horrifically stupid things happening within our own country, we understand that we're not the only country in the world. We're not deluded, we're scared. So many of us are scared. We recognize that there are other people who are scared in the world, and we're scared with them. For them. For ourselves. Angry, too.
I don't know what I'm trying to get at with this. I know too many good activists and too many real, living people whose lives are going to be in real, tangible danger and at jeopardy over the next few years to be able to just brush all this off anymore. I'm not talking about online discourse, stop treating it like it is.
I tried drawing the inside of the cabin from slay the princess in cylindrical perspective. I did way too much hatching. I’ve learned my lesson, I won't do it again.
By the way, have I ever told you that I am good at perspective?
I want to make it known as far and wide as I can.
I don't want to die.
My family, my Trans, and nonbinary, and intersex family, do not want to die.
Things will get worse for us in America.
It matters what we are alive.
I know not everyone can protest, and that so many people feel hopeless, but you have to live. You have to scream and fight.
They can try to kill us, make us illegal, the people in power in this country can do whatever they want, but we will be dragged kicking and screaming and fighting the whole way.
Live, if it's the last thing you do.
Even if you're scared.
Even if you go back in the closet.
No matter what happens, no matter what you have to do.
Promise me, from one family member to another, that you will survive.
I don't want to lose anyone else, you are loved and valued. And we believe in you.
Please, I can't lose anyone else.

Quietly losing my mind over the fact that Elon Musk has straight up orchestrated a coup of our executive branch and like....I don't even know what, if any, system we have in place to fix this. Like... He's just taken control of the money and locked out the actual appointed officials. What the fuck.
dragons. I'm not sure how i feel about this rendering method, but it is fun to try sometimes.
Okay so we have this huge problem with forgetting about everything that’s happened by the time the next election rolls around so I’d like to keep a running list of things as they’re happening to help remind us when the 2026 midterms roll around. And please add to this if I’ve missed anything.

February 2025
I’ll keep adding to this list as new things come up and, again, please feel free to add anything I’ve missed. I know that in this world of constant news it’s easy to forget, so let’s give our future selves a little help!
this is super helpful!! I've been trying to figure out how to stay on top of the news without getting facebook or twitter.
If you live in the US and want a way to follow good non-right wing news for free, consider:
Subscribing to PBS News on YouTube (they have a news hour every night/half hour on weekends, broken up into smaller consumable segments. Sometimes they live stream national events like the inauguration. You don't have to watch it all, but pick and choose what to watch & when. Like, say, only watching the half hour weekend segments).
Subscribing to NPR News on whatever podcast app you have (they do 5-minute news updates throughout the day; you usually only need to listen to it 1x/day to get highlights).
Subscribe to nonprofit investigative online news source ProPublica; you can sign up for either daily, weekly, or top news stories sent to your email. You can also follow them on sm.
Okay this one isn't free, but if you have any extra money, don't underestimate how important or endangered local newspapers are. Subscribe if you can. Some papers will also send you short summaries if you're a subscriber, and you can also follow local papers on social media.
Remember that just generally getting deluged with news on social media is not good for your mental health, and is much more susceptible to misinformation or propaganda. Getting news online works best when it's supplemental to verified news sources; usually as grassroots, on-the-ground info from people you know and trust who are living out a certain experience.
You can keep a particular online space "safe" from politics without hurting anything, provided you make routine space for good, responsible news in your schedule.
AND that you make sure to follow a diverse group of people and support their inclusion in that space, even if you're online for a niche interest (in almost any online hobby, there are lots of people who are not at all the same class, race, ethnicity, gender identity, from the same place, etc, etc). Honor, protect, and value a wide variety of voices even in your online hobbyist spaces, while also making regular time for real news? You'll find yourself with a decent snapshot of information from both the top down and the bottom up about how the world works and is impacting a wide variety of people.
Without feeling like you have to absorb/respond to everything happening every single moment of every day. For the next 4 years
Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

I like the idea of grey aliens having crazy frantic sex without any erogenous zones or sex organs. Like just jumping up and down on each others heads and pulling each other around by the feet
a painting i did for class for the prompt "superhero"

the 2am urge to paint
based on a screenshot of the nether in Minecraft. the basalt deltas are one of my favorite biomes. it's so simple and barren, but it's oddly calm, especially with the ash floating in the air. i wasn't really sure how to portray the glowstone, so it's a little bright, but other than that I'm very happy with how it turned out
You've gotta love Jews more than you hate Nazis.
You've gotta love trans folks more than you hate TERFs.
You've gotta love your unhoused neighbors more than you hate the billionaires.
You've gotta love immigrants more than you hate ICE.
You've gotta love queer kids more than you hate christian fundamentalists.
You've gotta love fat people more than you hate the diet industry.
You've gotta love disabled people more than you hate the insurance companies.
You've gotta love your fellow humans more than you hate the worst that humanity has to offer. You don't have to like every person you're fighting for, and you sure as hell don't have to give up your righteous anger, but hate is ultimately corrosive.
You've gotta love.
Target has helped so many save money since they want to kiss the ass of Trump. Costco is better anyway
Here’s a real boycott list

Calling all Brits on this hellsite.
We all saw Elon Musk do the nazi salute at the Trump inauguration. We know that he is influencing and fanning the flames of right wing political parties.
And that very well may include ours.
Because Elon Musk has pledged to donate $100 million to the Reform party. He has since mentioned that it might be hard to give such a large sum now.
But I don’t think we should take our chances. And I think we can agree that letting billionaires influence our countries politics is a terrible idea.
If you also agree here’s a link to a Parliament petition.
It calls for the government to remove loopholes that allow wealthy foreign individuals to make donations into UK political parties (e.g. by funnelling through UK registered companies).
As it is a parliament petition the government are required to debate it in parliament. But for that to happen it needs to reach 100,000 signatures.
Non British folk I’m afraid you guys can’t sign but I encourage you guys to reblog so that more people can see this.
Wanna do something useful, that really does have an effect? I have been calling my reps in the Senate, Congress and State Gov.
I've been calling every single day since the election, a different issue and solution each day. It takes about 1 min per call. Hate phone calls? Email them!
My own calls on issues have ranged from Voting No on Trump's cabinet picks, his violations of the constitution and out civil rights, LGBTQ+ Rights, and his unforgivable pardoning of violent seditionists. Pick the issues that matter to you most. Make a list!
example: "Hi, I'm [ ] from [ ], and I wanted to let [Rep] know how I feel about [issue], and that they should [solution]. Thank you!" and then they take your contact info and thank u for using your voice. Be polite, and try to be succinct! One issue per call or email.
They have to listen to us. Every phone call helps me feel a little better, and is a more effective use of my voice than complaining on social media.
Stay strong, fellow Tumblrites ♥
