The Rainbow Railroad Is Helping Gay Men Escape Chechen Concentration Camps. They Need Our Help.

I'm tired, hot, and done with my first year at Circle in the Square. What a trip, what a joy, and what a ridiculous ride it has been. Here's to some sleep and looking forwards to second year! #circleinthesquare #thereare11pencilsinmyhair #whatagreatlifeilead

Excited about this!!

TL;DR: We're looking for English-speaking neopronoun users (aged 18+) to participate in a paid linguistics study.

Hello!

Professor Kirby Conrod from Swarthmore College is recruiting participants for a paid interview study (in-person in Philly or on zoom). Anyone who uses neopronouns for themself, is 18 or older, and is fluent in English is welcome to participate. The study will consist of a casual interview between you and a researcher, a similar interview with a friend of yours, and an exit survey for each of you. Each will receive $15 as compensation for their time.

If you're interested in participating, please fill out this form: (https://forms.gle/YajpkjxGYiwL7RLF6). Filling out this form does not require you to participate; it's just an expression of interest.

Even on Tumblr, neopronoun use is relatively uncommon, so it would be very helpful if folks could reblog this post to help it reach as many neopronoun users as possible.

This song never made any sense to me.

It’s been quite literally a decade since I’ve had this simple Brazilian treat, and I have changed a LOT since I was that awkward, definitely-had-anxiety-and-other-fun-mental-things-that-were-untreated 18 year old that couldn’t stop stealing spoonfuls from the pot. My trip to Brazil had things happen that I’m still healing from, things that have made it too hard to go back to a place I adored. But I made beigadeiro last night, and it made me happy, and that’s a step in the right direction #brigadeiro #mentalhealth #healingjourney #metoo #songbirdbakingadventures https://www.instagram.com/p/CHIozHlDXsX/?igshid=d59imcrpmvjk

When they said it’s important to hydrate your hair, I don’t think this is what they meant. Maybe I should have brought an umbrella... #robinlearnsaboutwinter (at George Washington Bridge)

It is a dark time for the Rebellion. Although the Virus has been reveled for the Death Star it truly is, Federal forces have blown off its scientists’ warnings and are attempting to drive its workers out into the galaxy unprotected. In an attempt to evade the Virus, the non essential workers secrete themselves in their homes, only emerging for sustenance and light from the solo sun. They can only hope they will not be forced out of hiding too soon, into the clutches of the dreaded Virus... #maythe4thbewithyou https://www.instagram.com/p/B_wYifKDeOK/?igshid=zqbzj8m1xt43
