“I AM AFRAID TO HOLD MY BOYFRIEND’S HAND” – “MY FRIEND’S PARENTS SENT HER AWAY” – "I FOUND DEATH THREATS IN MY LOCKER” – “I SUBMITTED TO ELECTROSHOCK THERAPY” – “I LOST HALF MY FRIENDS AFTER COMING OUT” – “MY GRANDMOTHER SENDS ME HATE MAIL” – “MY SCHOOL WON’T LET ME BRING MY DATE TO PROM” – “I AM NOT HERE ANYMORE,” students commemorate Day of Silence, Knoxville, Tennessee, April 11, 2014. Photographer unknown. . Today, April 21, is GLSEN’s (@glsenofficial) Day of Silence, an annual student-led day of action to spread awareness about the effects of bullying and harassment faced by LGBTQ students. . In 1996, as part of an assignment on non-violent protests, students at the University of Virginia sought to create a highly-visible protest action that would draw attention to the bullying of queer youth; the result was the first Day of Silence, during which students take a day-long vow of silence to represent the silencing of LGBTQ students. Since 2000, when GLSEN (@glsenofficial) became the official sponsor of the event, participation has grown exponentially. . According to GLSEN’s National School Climate Survey, 85% of LGBTQ secondary school students experienced verbal harassment based on a personal characteristic in 2016 and 66% reported experiencing LGBTQ-related discrimination. Due to feeling unsafe or uncomfortable, nearly a third of LGBTQ students missed at least one day of school in the last month. And, in 2016, over half of LGBTQ students reported hearing homophobic remarks (56%) and negative remarks about gender expression (64%) from school STAFF. . LGBTQ students who experience high levels of anti-LGBTQ harassment have lower GPAs, lower self-esteem, and higher levels of depression, and they are less likely to pursue post-secondary education. . Only 22% of LGBTQ students report being taught positive representations of queer-related issues in class; that is the highest percentage ever recorded in the GLSEN study, which began in 1999. . Queer students in schools with a GSA or comprehensive anti-bullying policy are less likely to be harassed and more likely to be happy and successful. #HavePrideInHistory #SupportQueerYouth #DayOfSilence (at Knoxville, Tennessee)

My commission from Kitty Cheshire @kitty.cheshire_ has arrived! I gave them some funds and they asked me a bunch of questions to ascertain themes, color schemes, key words, concepts… and my love for UV reactive stuff. I’m so happy with my custom order and mushroom with sculls is definitely a mood my body groks right now. Thank you! Would totally recommend them for candy and rave art. Check out their work.
