Pseudonyms! Use them! Even if it’s a nickname, a favorite character’s name, a letter, your username, use a pseudonym. Especially if you have a unique name

Private information is PRIVATE. Last name, age, full birthday. Things that could be used to identify you should not be shared. Remember those “enter anyone’s name and learn everything about them” websites? They aren’t kidding around, and they’re dangerous.

Your house is your business. Don’t share your home address, school name, city, even sharing what state you live in could be risky. There’s no reason for people online to need to know this, there’s no reason for people online to ask for it. This is a red flag

Pictures are worth a thousand words. Take note of what’s in pictures you post. Can you see a state flag? A pet’s collar with a home address on it? Does that screenshot have your phone number in it? Be careful with EXACTLY what you post.

Once you post it, it’s not yours anymore. Anyone on the internet can share a post, take screenshots, repost to other websites, send to other people, etc. Once you post something, what happens to it is out of your hands. Make sure you be careful with what you post.

Face and voice can reveal a lot about you. They can reveal age, agab, in some cases they can be used to determine where you live (accents anyone?) be careful.

if you claim ally ship to the trans community then you can’t ignore the bad things that happen to especially trans woc. and if you’re a white trans person you can’t just talk about other white trans people. it just shows that you only care about trans people if they are white and that shouldn’t be the case.

reblog more stuff!!

appreciate imperfect things

focus on enjoying yourself

prioritize compassion

complete your anger

make yourself laugh

create things that fail

tell people if you like what they made

distance yourself from things that hurt you

@nighttyger it means to let yourself experience anger, but not to live in it. there are many, many things that deserve being angry about in the world, but it’s just as important to take time for the things that make you happy

like even if bisexuality didn’t have a long history of including attraction to all (which it does) why tf wouldn’t bisexual people today be able to claim that definition? even if he/him women, and esp he/him lesbians didn’t have a long history (which again, they do) why the fuck would it matter? Women would still be able to use he/him now if they want because it’s their fucking choice. Even if nonbinary lesbians didn’t always exist, which they did, they would still have a righ to exist now. Even if nonbinary people in general have never existed before today, which they have, it wouldn’t suddenly invalidate current nonbinary people’s genders. Even if butch trans women didn’t exist forever, they would still be here now.

Whether or not people in the past have approved of your existence now, you still have a right to exist. The idea that history has to dictate the way the current lgbt community functions is stupid lmao. Like the whole point is to have progress and to improve as society changes, not stay in the same cycles over and over again.

And it’s especially stupid when this leads to you guys putting historical writings and activists on a pedestal. None of the past activists were absolutely perfect and there’s a lot of issues with historical lgbt movements that need to be evaluated with a modern lens.

If a vomiting agent is in fact being used, it is likely a strategy to get people to take off their masks. This poses obvious risks given the COVID pandemic, but also provides opportunities for law enforcement to gather photographs of protestors for later retaliations. 

If you suspect you have been exposed to any unknown chemicals - or have had excessive exposure to teargas - please get regular health screenings from the relevant professionals, including cancer screenings if at all possible. Chemical weapons can cause a variety of health problems, so documenting any evidence  that a condition could have been directly caused by exposure may be critical for later legal retaliation against authorities.
