ACTION ALERT THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE!!!
Democratic leadership is quietly working with Speaker Johnson to sneak through reauthorization of Section 702, a racist mass surveillance program. The timing on this is super urgent, they're deciding on what will be attached to the NDAA in the next couple days. FFTF set up a calling tool to put pressure on democratic leadership. Please take a few minutes to call and demand they stop this move. Script and more information are here:
https://www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/tell-democrats-stop-pushing-racist-surveillance/
THE VOTE IS TODAY AT 4.45 EST
PLEASE CALL AND REBLOG I DO NOT CARE IF YOU ARE BUSY DO IT NOW

Made another design in my series of pride Norse designs that I'm creating as a fuck you to nazis appropriating the runes and other symbols in hopes that if we can make designs of them that are so blatantly gay they won't want to touch them anymore. (Previous designs: Pride Loki Runes | Be Gay, Do Pride )
It's Yggdrasil (Norse tree of life) with the colors of the original pride flag in the tree/branches surrounded by rings in the colors of the triangle of the progress flag (representing BIPOC, Trans, and Intersex) (Design is transparent. Grey background is for visibility purposes)
Tumblr media
Just like the previous designs, I'll be hosting the full-res file of this design as a free download on my Ko-Fi for people to use to make their own apparel/stickers/whatever. And also hosted on Threadless for those who can't print them on stuff themselves (or just don't feel like it) but still want something with this design on it. Each sale will also make an automatic donation to various LGBT+ charities like The Trevor Project and the National Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network.
I'll be making more of these designs and also be taking requests for a bit if there are any pride rune/Norse designs anyone might want to see made, feel free to just drop them in my ask box!
[Edit: For some reason linking to the download on Ko-Fi hides this post in tags. No idea why, because the other posts were/are fine, but anyway there's a link to my Ko-Fi in my pinned post. Apologies for the inconvenience.]

it’s honestly really embarrassing seeing so many people suddenly go quiet after campaigning to hell and back for every other social justice cause under the sun lol. especially the black, brown, and lgbt community. i see who isn’t saying anything despite being vocal about everything else, and i have no words for y’all besides grow up and grow a pair

I find it strange that when a certain group of ppl are going through something ppl have to say: "What if that was your child/friend/family" just so ppl can feel empathy. Why is it so hard for ppl to feel empathy for others just because? They shouldn't have to be related to you in any way for you to care about them.

Even though it's the entire plot, I legit forgot that Stay by My Side involved ghosts until they popped up in the middle of their important conversation.
Tumblr media
Homeboy was high-key annoyed!
Tumblr media
And I forgot Jiang Chi didn't tell Bu Xia about hearing the ghosts!
Tumblr media
So I liked that the special cleared that up and focused on their love story.
Tumblr media
Because they were matching!
Tumblr media
Yet still retained their light and dark color dynamic from the original series (plus glasses!).
Tumblr media
Which allowed the colors to reinforce that they were still very much in love.
Tumblr media
And they continued to match on their graduation trip.
Tumblr media
Even when Jiang Chi changed to be more serious.
Tumblr media
So I loved that we got to see the queer UFO suit from HIStory 5: Love in the Future again @heretherebedork while Bu Xia told Jiang Chi that he was tying him up as punishment, not as seduction!
Tumblr media
But I also loved that it showed they switched light and dark colors as they exchanged rings which emphasized THEY ARE IN LOVE!
Tumblr media
Only for them to end matching once again.
Tumblr media
These special episodes are pure fluff, but they are giving me MORE Taiwanese BLs, colors, queer UFO suits, blinding lights of love, and that cute heart bokeh effect.
Tumblr media
I'm so happy!

"Note: 
There may be some resistance & discomfort when I say “we need to dismantle self-care”. The concept is prominent in leftist spaces & hailed as a radical form resistance. However, it is rarely understood in its original context with the necessary caveats which I’ll elaborate on below. It has also been sanitized, manipulated & co-opted for profit. As a result, it’s become bigger than what it was intended to be. People look to self-care now as a revolutionary “solution” to our collective problems (which it is not). Given that we live under capitalist, colonial systems that breed individualism, narcissism & self-centeredness, I think it’s important for us to rethink the utility of this concept today. In this piece, bringing in the knowledge of collectivist, land-based cultures, I’ll explain why it is urgent & critical for us to practice + embody COMMUNITY care which is a more complete framework that creates conditions of liberation needed for us to survive & thrive as we fight for the land & against the ecological destruction of our planet.
So even if you feel some discomfort arise, take a deep breath & hear me out."
- Ayesha Khan, Ph.D
Some quotes to consider:
The most prominent origins of the concept may be traced to Audre Lorde[...] She wrote about how cancer pushed her to realize that we all needed to slow down, pull back from oppressive systems, refuse to operate according to their values or accelerated “productivity” benchmarks when we can & that this divestment from a profit-driven system was critical for us to even begin to think about what collective “health” & healing means. It is an important first step in one’s political radicalization journey. It’s not everything & it wasn’t meant to be.
Self-care today is often reduced to: i) consumption of products, ii) neglect of community & erasure of the contributions of other beings who enable our care, and iii) one-sided, transactional extraction of care with a sense of entitlement to receive care without reciprocity or without focusing on daily practices of giving care in community. What does self-care look like in practice today?
Is there anything you do that doesn’t directly or indirectly involve the contribution of other beings? Even when we rest, there are conditions of some level of safety or security that have to be enabled for us to truly rest. So let’s take a moment to sit with how the beings at the other end of the “care products” we consume are being treated.
On the other hand, what does “self-care” that actively harms the collective look like? Relax at home alone with a sheet mask while ignoring a friend who reached out to connect because “you don’t owe anyone anything”, purchase care products & services from violent corporations killing our planet as a form of “self-love” while deprioritizing community building thinking it will heal you
Mainstream self-care has created NEW forms of oppression, extraction & exploitation. 
The perspectives I offer in my community care work are not MY novel findings but a responsibility I bear as part of my ancestral/ community teachings & traditions. These perspectives are sorely missing in leftist spaces. I write this piece to honor our collectivist traditions & to affirm the many global communities who find the concept of “self-care” reductive, confusing or fundamentally indecipherable. Our cultures are rooted in caring for each other & the land that sustains us all— I’m slowly learning to carry & embody these values by any means necessary.

Hey trans people, especially trans kids of immigrants; how did you come out to your parents? I'm trying to get advice since every source I've read online has been the aftermath and not the actual process
