Trust Tumblr to get taken off the Google play store just a few days before I got my new tablet. I already love it, but it’s a shame I can’t immediately pollute it with this trash site.
Midnight has passed so technically it’s now my birthday (and I am in fact 23)
Full offense, there is something wrong with you if you try to downplay someone’s illness, whether it be physical or mental, because they don’t “seem sick” to you. You are not a doctor, you do not know what they are feeling and what they are pushing through. You know nothing. Shut up.
GET OUR BOI OUTTA JAIL TONIGHT! BAIL SUPPORT NEEDED! 😩
Black Trans Man Arrested, Immediate Bail Support Needed.
A request for support from Dean’s friends and fam:
Earlier today, Dean, a Black Trans masculine person was arrested in Atlanta, Georgia, after a routine traffic stop. After being stopped, he was questioned repeatedly about the validity of his driver’s license. The officer believed that Dean was deceiving him, lying about his identity. Dean was taken to the detention center.
This happens often to Trans people who are unable to change the gender marker/name on their license. Because of the officer’s transphobia, he assumed Dean was lying.
Some of you maybe familiar with Dean, an Atlanta -based community organizer and activist. He is currently being detained at the Atlanta City Detention Center. He has been placed with the “female” population, where he will be kept until his community, family, and friends raise bail.
Bail is currently set at $315. We know that it’s a lot to ask. But on behalf of our friend, we’re asking that each person, who read this, donate just .99 or $1. A little can go a long way.
Can’t donate? Help us get the word out, BOOST!
Where to donate?
Donate now. A $5 donation, is $5 closer to freedom. Thank you to everyone who has already donated. 🙏🏾✨ Stay Up!
*slams back a bourbon whiskey* listen mate I’ve been here for all kinds of ridiculous tumblr meltdowns I was here when Yahoo took over I was here for dashcon I was here when the notes disappeared I was here back when those superwholock chain posts of fucking up non believers were taken seriously and through every single one I have done fuck all. I have not changed a goddang thing. I waited for the end and the end never came. I do not plan on changing my status quo now. either things will go on as they always have and in six months time I’ll be here watching staff announce that anyone with over 1000 followers are being monitored or I will have been physically deleted from this wonderful stupid fucking website and either way I’m gonna go out posting pictures of my cat
