It's about time for LGBTQ+ youth to take back their power, so we're awarding grants up to $10,000 for projects that support LGBTQ+ youth in their own communities and schools

"But what if my school's not accepting or doesn't have a GSA club?"

We hear that - that's why LGBTQ+ youth can pair up with various different types of organizations to apply for a Changemakers grant, including:

• Nonprofits

• Public libraries

• LGBTQ+ centers

• Public schools and GSA clubs

• And other youth-supporting community organizations!

A fave example: One of our previous grantees from a GSA club in Vermillion, South Dakota couldn't get their school on board with their idea. So instead, they paired up with a local mural artist organization to create a giant sparkly unicorn Pride mural on the side of a downtown restaurant - which went on to earn the town a USA Today Reader's Choice award for small towns with the best art scenes!

Youth + a partner organization can apply for a grant now by May 5th at itgetbetter.org/changemakers

art is a human necessity. there’s never been a moment in history EVER where art wasn’t being created, and for good reason. keep fighting, keep writing.

Feeling rough lately.

I fucking hate that the general response to RFK Jr's eugenist take on autistic people is "autistic people do pay taxes, autistic people do work, autistic people do date!"

Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.

Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :

They make a hateful, fascist statement

Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong

We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process

We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go

They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.

Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.

Same thing happens with the people who are being deported ("they have a visa!", "they didn't even have a criminal record!" -> even if they didn't have a visa, even if they did have a criminal record, deporting them and detaining them in what's essentially a concentration camp wouldn't be okay, you absolute tools of fascism.)

reblogging to remember this bc i LOVE rockstar eddie more than anything

Do you like rockstar Eddie? Do you like aspiring Broadway actor/theatre kid Steve? Would you like it if they kissed?

THIS. disappointed in everybody under this tag tbh.

Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.

something to do while ao3 is down a:)))

If you see someone with a really bad fandom take, I’m begging you to open your emails and write a strongly worded missive to your local government official about something bad happening in your community or country.

If you’re in Canada you could email a rep about concerns about Elon musk interfering in our next federal election.

If you’re in the US the list is endless.

If you’re in the UK you could email about trans health care.

If you’re in Australia, what about dental care in Medicare?

If you’re in Europe, look into some EU initiatives of particular concern. Perhaps something to do with nature and biodiversity? Idk

Just today I emailed my local mla about coal mining in the Rocky Mountains and tomorrow I’m going to pick something else and do it again
