A Few Reminders Because I’m Tired And Angry

Attention!!!!

Him

That is all

Hello world, reaching to everyone is one of the members of the queer refugees community from Kenya Kakuma refugee camp. Life has never been good since we came to the camp years ago in 2019 and 2020. Although life is hard, lgbtiqa refugees have continuously joined us in the camp in the latest years leading to a bigger number of lgbt refugees in Kenya.

The camp has over 200,000 total number of refugees with just about 1300 lgbtiqa+ refugees. Its just a smaller ratio of lgbtiqa regugees facing persevution from the bigger number of other refugees.

Most of us have fled from Uganda where things turned out to be hard on queer people including death and imprisonment of lgbtiqa people. I call upon everyone tk help and support the the fellow queer people surbive through this trauma. You can’t imagine we have lost friends through death due to homophobia. One of us who was killed badly by setting fire on them did noy live for a month later. When we rushed them to hospital, doctors knew was trans and so devided to delay him and later died. We please need everyone to help. Even contacting UNHCR can help.

Look we have a youtube channel for more information and links like petitions and fundraiser are attached to our youtube channel

My Plans for This Week: 2/27 - 3/5

Inspired by @gritsandbrits' 9/9 - 9/15 week plans post from 2019

I decided to do this after my last weekend plans didn't go too well, as I've only managed to two of the things of my weekend plans list 2/24 - 2/26. Those two being watching @rainbott's Spellmania series on their YouTube channel and watching Mindy Kaling's Velma on watchcartoononline.tv while also writing down ideas for my Velma rewrite on Google Docs. Plus, it felt like an episode in a show where there's too much crammed into a single or few episodes. So, I decided to do these plans I didn't get to do this week, at least hopefully, that is. If not, then next week it is.

Also, today's my 19th birthday!!! Happy Birthday to Me!!! :) ^^

urgent!!

congress is debating right now (dec 15, 2022) whether or not to include KOSA in the end of year must pass spending bill. it's another horrible attempt at "protecting the children" that will lead to mass censorship and surveillance. no surprise there.

we have a chance to stop it, because if it passes it will gut the internet as we know it. there's more info about it in this post

please, if you have time, call these members of congress and tell them not to add it to the spending bill. it's urgent.

nancy pelosi (202) 225-4965 maria cantwell (202) 224-3441 chuck schumer (202) 224-6542

there's a call script here:

My name is _, and I strongly urge you to oppose KOSA from being added to the omnibus spending bill. Bills like this should not be included in spending bills. Over 90 human rights and LGBT organizations have spoken out against this bill.

The Heritage Foundation said they will use KOSA to target LGBT kids, specifically trans kids because it gives state attorney generals full power to restrict content they deem "harmful". In a post-Roe world, they will even use KOSA to censor resources on abortion, LGBT resources, and anything they dislike will be targeted. Republicans have called anything trans "grooming" which led to a shooting. We shouldn't give them this power online.

A bill this huge and this impactful should not be added to any spending bill. Even if it was a small bill, it has nothing to do with the omnibus spending bill and shouldn’t be added at ALL. It needs more time being discussed. There should be hearings on it as well

We all care about kids mental health. We all want to hold Big Tech accountable, but this is NOT it. This will give Big Tech more power while taking away resources from the most vulnerable children. It is not the solution.

Please, do NOT support this bill. Do the right thing, and VOTE NO on KOSA.

Update #1: My First Tumblr Update

Hey guys. It's been a while since I made my first post here, so I thought I'd give you guys an update on what's going on.

To start things off, I was a bit busy with college, plus I was also on Twitter more, hence the reason I didn't post too much in September, nor did I post anything in October. And while I did have thoughts of posting on Tumblr here and there, I never really got the chance due to college and using Twitter more than Tumblr. But since I feel like I want to have a place to escape when I feel overwhelmed by college, I feel like I should use Tumblr. And while yes, I do have the option to use Twitter, I feel like using Tumblr to escape better than Twitter. Not that I dislike Twitter or anything like that (despite some grips I have with the platform), I just feel like using Tumblr as that Escapism (as a nod to Rebecca Sugar's song "Escapism", not to be confused with the Steven Universe Season 5 episode of the same name) to escape to whenever I feel stressed or overwhelmed by reality. That, or I just wanna go on here for fun, since I love to go on social media. Whether it be for fun or to escape reality.

Aside from wanting to use Tumblr more often, I also want to showcase my work here. I want to share my artwork (including my OCs, fandom and non-fandom related) and my stories with everyone on Tumblr (and yes, I am aware of how vicious people on Tumblr can be, especially with the unnecessary harassment and death threats targeted towards people having fun with their work, especially artists and writers in particular; but tbh, I...honestly don't give a shit about that. And by that, I mean that I don't care how much harassment and death threats I get sent my way. Because I know that they're being sent by a bunch of sad assholes who love to tear people down because deep down, they're secretly miserable jerkasses who have nothing better to do with their lives other than make people feel bad (either about themselves, their work, or both) in order to make them feel better about themselves).

Works I wanna share include:

My OCs (both fandom and non-fandom related, as mentioned before)

OC What If (a series where I talk about what I think it would be like if my fandom OCs were canon characters in the media & franchises I like: shows, movies, video games, etc.)

OC Opinion (a series where I give my opinion on other people's OCs, while also giving them kind and constructive criticism; if needed, that is)

I know the stuff I mentioned were all OC-related, but tbh, I couldn't think of anything else (and even if I had that thing in my head I wanted to write for this post, I couldn't write it down for some reason). So that's why they're all OC-related. I know it might not be the best answer, but hey, whatcha gonna do bout' it?

With all that said, I hope to post here more often, or every now and then. If I don't, then I'll either like posts and/or reblog stuff. And if I don't either post something or like & reblog stuff, then that means I'm either, busy, lazy, doing something else (like drawing and/or writing) or using Twitter.

Anyways, thank you for reading this and checking in. I really appreciate it. I can't wait to show you guys what I have in store for my Tumblr. Hope you have a wonderful day/afternoon/night. :) ^^
