In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.
P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3
EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings
Looking more like a checklist these days. I want off this ride. đ
Before January 2025:
If you are a USAmerican in a relationship that might be affected by legislation that dissolves same-sex marriages, who may no longer be recognized as next-of-kin, especially if you have children, get your rights in writing!
Your marriage certificate may not be enough to prove you have rights to make medical decisions for non-biological children or for a same-sex spouse or partner.
Go to a lawyer, get it spelled out as clearly as possible that you have a voice in emergency medical and legal situations.
Republican deregulation is a bullshit solution in search of a problem.
Regulations were put there for a reason.
Republicans want to pretend the original problem never existed. It's perverse.
Ex: Deregulation of media ownership has created a massive problem. Had we kept ownership regulations, we would have diverse opinions and exceptional local news.
where does that fucker get the time for all that. it has to be dark magic at this point, right?
Went in looking for RWRB placement found kimchqy as the only thai paring in the top 100. Thank you all for your amazing hardworking hands and brains :)

does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver
Hey tumblr.
I want to share a post from The Guardian that was published today.
âInside the building, staffers said that Doge cultivated a culture of fear.
âItâs an extreme version of âwho do you trust, when and how?ââ said Kristina Drye, a speechwriter at the agency, who watched dozens of senior colleagues escorted out of the building by security. âIt felt like the Soviet stories that one day someone is beside you and the next day theyâre not.â
People started meeting for coffee blocks away because âthey didnât feel safe in the coffee shops here to even talk about whatâs going onâ, she added.
âI was in the elevator one morning and there was an older lady standing beside me and she had glasses on and I could see tears coming down under her glasses and before she got off her elevator she took her glasses off, wiped her eyes, and walked out,â she said. âBecause if they see you crying, they know where you stand.ââ
Everyone should read this article about âDOGEâ tearing apart USAID (and then read more reporting about how they are being allowed to do the same to other US federal entities). Elon Musk and his minions are violating our highest laws and destroying lives and livelihoods in the US and abroad. USAID is less than 1% of the federal budgetâ this isnât about cost-cutting or âinvestigating fraudâ. Itâs about cruelty and seeing how much unlawful devastation and psychological warfare they can get away with, with the intention to repeat this process at one federal agency after another. They already have access to IT systems at the Treasury, NOAA, and other agencies, and have taken over OPM (essentially HR for the federal government), using the latter to send demeaning and threatening e-mail blasts to civil servants.
Iâm urging everyone who reads this to recognize whatâs happening here and how abhorrent and frightening it is. I wager that even most people who wanted Trump back didnât want a centibillionaire technocrat making unilateral decisions on which parts of the federal government to âfeed into the wood chipperâ (as he has described his teamâs actions at USAID in a recent post on X, The Everything App).
Please call your elected representatives and urge them to act against Musk nowâ before his actions make our legislative branch totally irrelevant.
Iâve been seeing posts about Muskâs coup-in-progress going around on here, but I feel like a lot of people still arenât aware of the extent of it, and I really want to help get the word out. Iâm heartsick for all the civil servants at USAID and beyond. Some of them, their unions, and some Democratic congresspeople and others are speaking out, but these workers need us everyday Americans to speak out for them, too.
Thank you for reading. And anyone who isnât American, please keep us in your thoughts.
