Yusei stop fawning over every man slightly better than you at something you like challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) (HE HAS ISSUES)

To reiterate:

Trump's transphobic Executive Orders regarding healthcare and Federal documents are currently unenforceable and are not current actionable policy of the Federal government.

Do not despair.

Do not panic.

And most importantly: do not comply in advance.

Staying alive is a radical act as a trans person in Trump's America.

you guys made luigi mangione trend for days and I need to see the same energy for brianna boston. she is a 43 year old mother of three who ended a phone call with blue cross blue shield (after being denied a claim) “delay deny depose, you people are next” and is now being held under a 100,000$ bond and could face FIFTEEN years of prison if charged. she has no weapons, her record is clean, and yet she is being held behind bars. they are afraid of the public and are trying to subdue. do not let them!!!! be outraged that our freedom of speech is being threatened!!!!! deny defend depose! free brianna boston!

shorthands for dumbassery that i have grown to love deeply

"how dare you say we piss on the poor" in response to someone misinterpreting your post

"_ isnt gonna fuck you" for suck up behavior

"woah. should we tell everyone? should we throw a party?" for who the fuck cares

"and what if the world was made of pudding" for when would this ever matter.

"and sharks are smooth both ways" for a group of people heatedly arguing with 1 guy who is fucking with them all

".. but its about a witch in the alps finding her lost cat" for someone trying to sanitize something to the point of absurdity

Absolutely beautiful.

As a QPOC myself I can completely get the looming feeling of being isolated in the places you're supposed to belong in.

Ever since coming to terms with my sexuality I'd felt so conflicted about it. At times it even felt as though I was somehow a disappointment to my people for not continuing their practices and traditions in the way they were originally.

But fuck that.

If you're a person of color who happens to be queer, guess what? You belong! You are just as big a part of culture as anyone else and no one can take that from you! Nothing in this world remains stagnant and the ways in which we feel connected to our culture is no different!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! This year I wanted to celebrate by showing you what Lunar Boy, our upcoming middle grade graphic novel, means to us as queer Indonesian representation: the thought process behind crafting a sci-fi Indonesian future that embraces queer history.

Pre-order Lunar Boy or add it on goodreads! Support QPOC creators and stories!

Yusuke being a rough and tumble delinquent kid while also having the biggest, prettiest, roundest, and brightest eyes ever is everything to me.

an imperfect ally is better than a perfect bystander

Next Pride Month I'ma need everyone to spam the shit out of Disney's replies with the banned episode of Moon Girl when they try to act like they actually give a fuck about gay people.

Yeah, and his female characters are some of the best in shonen jump in my opinion. The mothers aren't treated as just mothers. They're allowed to have personality and backstory. Otohime, Portgas D. Rouge and Bellemere are examples of this.

As much as I love JJK, Megumi's mom doesn't have anything to her character besides being the person who just so happened to give birth to Megumi and I think this lack of confidence in writing women is reflected in how much there is to be desired with his other female characters.

Likewise, as flawed as Naruto is with its female characters Kushina IS allowed to have a personality and be more than just a wife and a mother.

There's obviously nothing wrong with having a female character that's tied to motherhood and is nurturing but when that character isn't even given a name in the text of the story and isn't able to be seen as anything but a mother what exactly are we supposed to take away from that?

I feel like you can tell a lot about how an author views their female characters based on whether or not they give dead mothers a name.
