Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

had a tough week

flower crowns are so yesterday, stardust crowns are what's up

the way I STRUGGLED with this one. I couldn't figure out how to go about the coloring but I tried something new and even though it took me forever I really liked the end result :))

this isnt about you.

your opinion doesn't matter when it comes to antiblackness and racism displayed.

listen to black fans.

you do not get a say as to what is racist or not, or if people of color are allowed to be hurt by this.

MHA final season blu-ray & DVD vol.2 jacket art

I work at a library. We do this thing where, every so often, we weed the collection. It hurts to see books go, but it's necessary to make sure there's room in the library for new materials.

I have seen so much support for the library in text, and I've seen folks pass around those beautiful "queer your library" flyers. Keep doing that. That's great. Nothing wrong with that. But you HAVE to turn your words into action. We MUST remember to actually go to our local organizations and libraries and actually, with our own fucking hands, interact with these materials we want to see more of.

My branch is medium-sized for a library, maybe a little small. We don't have as many materials as I'd like, but we have fundamentals. Tell me why, even with all the verbal support I've gotten from my local community for the library as a resource for our LGBT+ community, every single trans biography and a good chunk of our vaguely queer theory books were on the list. This isn't a scheme to take the books off the shelves, it isn't another bigoted American governmental push. The only thing we look at when we weed is how long it's been since the last time the item was checked out.

Three years.

No one in my community interacted in any meaningful way with the few books on trans life and history we physically had on the shelves for three fucking years.

I promise you the materials you want and need are there, but this isn't a horde. This isn't a static safety net. You have to use them. You MUST use them or, in the future, maybe in three years, they *won't* be there anymore.

The library isn’t doing this deliberately. I live in a middle class conservative area in England, a TERF breeding ground, so these shitty books are flying off the shelves, bringing up the numbers and increasing the demand. Meanwhile, I’m— as far as I know— the only one checking out and ordering more trans-focused books. I’m fighting a losing battle here: it’s me up against a village-full of TERFs.

and sometimes, it looks like donating blood, shopping local, and checking in on your friends.

resistance takes many forms. do what you can when you can.
