Reenactor Throws A Spear At A Drone

Marsha P. Johnson

One of the leaders of the LGBT+ movement in America, she was known not only for her strength and bravery as an activist, but also for her boundless generosity. If you complimented an accessory of hers, she’d give it to you.

This is part one in a series of animated portraits I’ve been working on this summer of women I admire!

i urge my fellow brits to email their local mp telling them to urge parliament to stop exports of tear gas, rubber bullets, and other items the american police force are using against the protestors, and so on and so forth to the usa.

i will delete racist replies on this :)

Hetalia: The Awakening Of Europe - The Year 2029

WARNING: The fanfic I will be reviewing is highly racist, anti-semitic, Islamophobic, and all-around despicable. It is the intolerant rantings of an alt-right white nationalist and if you are easily made uncomfortable by any of the ideas listed above, I highly suggest you not read this whatsoever.

The actual summary provided by the author is as follows: “Our world as we know it no longer exists - Europe is devastated and ruined by cruel civil war between White Europeans and Islamic invaders. But the brave European nations N. Italy, Hungary, Austria and Poland, with Russia’s help, unite and fight to protect Europe from the NWO and Terrorism.” 

For real. You think that the Hetalia fandom can’t get any worse, and then it throws this at you. I know that we don’t have the best reputation- and I could even argue that our reputation is unwarranted- but this… this is a new low. 

So, yeah. Read at your own risk.

Everyday, Black women and girls are missing and either never found or found dead.

Say HER name.

15 year old JOY LYNN. She is missing from Dallas, Texas. The police aren't doing anything, so please, if you suspect anything, found a clue, or whatever, come forward.

I was looking up stuff and found this article about gender-neutral language is developing. I found this because I was looking for arab ace things.

For queer and feminist communities in the Middle East, the fight to gain acceptance in society has come in tandem with another conversation: how to define words like gay, bisexual and transgender in Arabic. Some people default to a transliteration of the English words in LGBTQ, others prefer the phrase “mujtama’a al meem” (مجتمع الميم) — or the meem community — a reference to the m-sounding Arabic letter that starts off these terms when translated into Arabic. After years of efforts led by activists in Lebanon, the word “mithly” (مثلي) and “mithliya” (مثلية) for gay is now standard for many media.

Anyways thought that was interesting to see the debate between the use of English and the active disuse of it. The article goes over more cultures as well.

A guide to how gender-neutral language is developing around the world

What pronouns do you use? There are, in fact, many non-binary ways to answer in historically gendered-languages.

There’s also this arab ace group if you want more ace things in arabic.

This is why I don’t tell 99% people im bisexual

Whoever doesn't reblog... Not that your a bad person but why?

I’ll just leave this here

#ActsofPride Day 11 - Favorite LGBTQIA+ historical figure

“Each time I leaped I seemed to touch the sky, and when I regained earth it seemed to be mine alone.” - Josephine Baker



Tumblr Creatr @Rose contributed this original work based on today’s prompt celebrating the iconic Josephine Baker. The American-born world renowned Black bisexual dancer, actress, singer, civil rights champion, and WWII French resistance agent rose to fame in the 1920s and quickly became one of the most famous entertainers in her adopted home of France. Pablo Picasso and Earnest Hemingway were also huge fans.

The artist told us a little about why Baker inspires her:

“Josephine Baker was hailed as ‘The Black Venus’ by fellow artists of her time. Though she fled the oppression she faced in America in 1925 to live the majority of her life in France, she returned often to fight for civil rights, speaking alongside Martin Luther King Jr. at the March on Washington. Now more than ever, it is vital to lift up queer Black lives and histories, and Josephine’s is one of pure resilience, love, and absolute joy” 

We’re excited to see your favorite LGBTQIA+ historical figures too ♥️
