I wanted to make a post about Leelah Alcorn but I lack the requisite words to describe how I feel. But this is exactly what it should be like. Leelah’s death is a heartbreaking tragedy and it should leave everyone speechless. That being said, however, we cannot simply sit back and mourn her by reblogging text posts and saying how messed up this is. In her note, she said that she wanted her death to mean something. So please, help her rest in peace by helping all you can and adding resources you find below. We can make a change. You matter.

I’m seeing a bunch of people do a “6 selfies of 2014” thing, so I figured I’d do it!

Right now, I’m laying on the couch, and I can hear my husband reading our four year old a bedtime story using silly voices.

Derby was born with deformed front legs. A cart didn’t help him experience running — so a 3D printing company designed loop-shaped prosthetics to let Derby do what dogs love to do.
