Though the jokes that "since gay pride month is over, july is now gay wrath month" are funny and all, it's important to remember that July is ACTUALLY Disability Pride Month and ya'll should really be focused on boosting disabled voices and issues this month! For instance, the fact that marriage equality doesn't actually truly exist in the United States for disabled people, or the fact that disabled people are forced to live in poverty or lose their disability benefits, or the fact that 1 in 5 people with chronic pain end up sufferring from alcoholism or other addictions, or how accessibility is still a daily battle for all of us, or how there are active hate groups on places like reddit who try to "call out" those they see as "faking" their disabilities.
This July, boost disabled voices. Talk about the issues that our community faces. Call out ableism.
ranbob is such a fucking funny character i cant get over it months later like my man really went yandere over a historical figure
I used to have a coworker who was 3-4 years my junior. I asked them if they were still taught internet safety at school, to which they confirmed, but it was the same über-serious "Don't talk to strangers" online bullshit that I was fed when I was a kid.
This doesn't work anymore. It hasn't worked in a long fucking time.
Public education is so fucking far behind when it comes to internet safety and etiquette. The lessons have to change. Not just for kids and teenagers, but for parents as well.
We can't remove the idea of talking with strangers, even adult strangers, entirely anymore, because inter-generational friendships are super important (looking at you, MCYT), but we do have to establish things like: how to recognise red flags when having conversations with anyone (not just adults, people your own age can be just as conniving and vicious), how to access tag and content blockers when you start seeing things that make you uncomfortable, how to understand site rules and guidelines, etc.
The issue is that the internet itself is full of great advice about how to filter content on different social media sites, it's just that none of you chucklefucks wants to use it. What are you waiting for? For someone to do it for you? Is that it? That's not blissful ignorance, that's just laziness and entitlement.
You don't do your own research. You follow each other in bloodthirsty packs. You constantly misuse words that have hurtful and horrific meanings and consequences. This is not okay.
Open up Wikipedia for once in your life, Jesus fucking Christ...

lmao i lost at least 7 followers after reblogging that…. anyway if you exclude nonbinary people you’re ignoring the white stripe of the trans flag; aces and aros are not straight and thus lgbt+ because theyre literally not attracted to the opposite sex, trans women are real women, and physical dysphoria is not required to be considered trans
Which pan flag is the right one please I don't want to mess it up
THIS is the real pansexual flag we've been using for years:
bright pink, yellow, and blue stripes. this is the actual one.
THIS however, is made by mspec lesbian exclusionists and purity culture obsessed twt users:
dont use this or any other "new" pan flag they try to fucking make. its not our flag. its never been our fucking flag. as a pansexual i fucking hate everyone who uses this or tries to get content creators to support this. fuck exclusionists.
