“protect children” <- reactionary drivel basically every time

“be kind to children” <-radical thinking that causes way more arguments than you would ever imagine

[river-shards]

The sentences "Asexuals can still have sex" and "Aromantics can still date" need to go up on the high shelf for everyone except aces and aros talking about their own experiences. From now on, everyone else has to use the revolutionary new phrase "Asexuals and aromantics can do whatever the fuck they want forever."

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

After careful consideration, I decided to lower the prices for all of my commissions other than the sticker designs to either half or almost half of their original price. I also set a goal that is important to me personally, which is to save up so I can see my partner in Poland. If you can, please donate or commission me, or if you can't, please reblog this post to spread it.

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

Update on my comms because I think it's about time to bump up my prices since I really need the money now.

I still take commissions via PayPal, along with taking half of the money up front after I send you the proper sketch.

My DM's are still wide open! We can discuss any questions you have there, along with what you want for your commission. I will also gladly move to Discord if you're more comfortable there.

They should invent a method of asking for reassurance that nobody secretly hates you that doesn't make people secretly hate you.
