An Incomplete List of US LGBTQ+ Helplines

I just saw the news that the Trump administration is ending funding for The Trevor Project as a 988 Lifeline partner.

First and foremost, the Trevor Project is not shutting down. They can be reached directly at 1-866-488-7386, or by texting START to 678-678. What is shutting down is the ability to call 988 and be directed to the Trevor Project’s LGBTQ+ youth lifeline.

However, I wanted to share the various LGBTQ+ helplines that I have bookmarked anyway, because god forbid one of these incredibly vital organizations DOES shut down, I want y’all to know what other support is out there.

Please feel free to add additional helplines in reblogs if I’ve missed anything!

LGBT National Hotline. 888-843-4564. Open Mon-Sat

LGBT National Youth Talkline. 800-246-7743. Open Mon-Sat

LGBT National Senior Hotline. 888-234-7243. Open Mon-Sat

Trans Lifeline. 877-565-8860. Open Mon-Fri. Peer support helpline for trans folks

Pride Institute. 833-926-2100. Open 24/7. Helpline for queer folks dealing with substance use & addiction

Call Blackline. 800-604-5841. No longer 24/7 but hours aren’t posted publicly. Open to all but geared toward queer & BIPOC folks. Will not call the police

DeQH. 908-367-3374. Open Thurs and Sun. Peer support helpline for queer Desi folks. Will not call the police

Inara. 717-864-6272. Open Fri and Sat. Peer support helpline for queer Muslims. Will not call the police

Just finished the last murderbot audiobook (cannot recommend enough) so I can finally look it up on tumblr without worrying about spoilers! It’s so jarring to learn how all these names are spelled!

What do you mean it’s not Amina, Keidi, Marrow, T’Pon, and Teeago? Where’s Mickey???

Very on brand for me to not update a fic for almost a year and then update twice back to back!

The only acceptable trans Tim headcanon would be Tim introducing himself to the batfam as a boy from the get-go with such confidence that no one questions him. Then, his first solo case as Robin is investigating the disappearance of Jack and Janet Drake's "daughter," so he pretends to have a twin sister by forging a bunch of documents and photoshopping family pictures. He then fabricates evidence of her death, committing multiple crimes in the process, and holds a fake funeral at the end. Because if his previous name is dead to him, he's gonna kill it the Tim Drake way

Just saw an ad for fucking Kellog's cornflakes wherein a shirtless blindfolded man tied to a bed is like "Wait.. are you... eating??" and it pans across the bed to reveal that his partner is, indeed, too distracted to have sex with him bc she is chowing down on corn flakes. Now I've been caught up in wondering whether:

a) John Harvey Kellog would despise this ad; the mere proximity of bondage-play to his brand name and beloved anti-porn flakes is unforgivable

b) John Harvey Kellog would enjoy this ad, because it shows a young woman forsaking the temptations of the flesh in favour of eating a wholesome and nourishing bowl of cornflakes

When I was 19 or 20, I sewed myself a wool dress for medieval re-enactments. I hated it almost as soon as I put it on. The bodice was cut wrong; the lacing was uneven; the colour was garish; the front closure was historically inaccurate; the embellishments were sewn on with terrible thread. Wearing it, I was constantly aware of its myriad flaws.

Then in my twenties I hit my adult metabolism and didn’t fit into any of my old clothes anymore. I gave my old dresses to my foster mother, who sells costumes for a living, and the green dress sold. It entered the local medieval re-enactment secondhand economy.

Every time I go to an event, someone different is wearing my green dress. It draws my eyes because it’s a lovely colour and the fabric—real wool and enough of it—moves beautifully with the wearer’s body. I never recognize it at first, because every wearer has worn it a different way; it can be mixed and matched, dressed up and down, moved around a good century of history. From ten feet away its lacing looks elegant, its embellishments beautiful gracenotes. I think: Oh my god, that dress looks beautiful. Wait a minute, that’s MY DRESS.

That dress teaches me, every time I see it, to stop looking at myself through such critical eyes. That dress doesn’t just look good, it looks better than most other dresses in its category, because I put in the time and the effort (including using pliers to force a needle through six layers of wool) to make sure it was done right.

It’s my reminder that sometimes the things I do are actually good, and if I indulge my natural tendency to criticize myself in everything, I’ll end up missing when I’m actually awesome.

I will say it took me wayyyyyy longer as a fanfic reader to understand the / or & difference. I knew the difference by the time I started posting, but if I hadn’t I don’t think I would have thought to click the tooltips. I genuinely just assumed it was stylistic preference.

So in the interest of helping navigate ao3, the most helpful tip I ever got was that when you italicize something, make sure you italicize the punctuation too! If you don’t, you end up with a space between the last word and the punctuation like this .

(Thanks @simons-saying!)

First episode!

Everyone thinks Bruce is just hardcore in denial about his dead son and the Red Hood is just running the world’s easiest con job- and really, good for him!

posting from my school fucking bathroom because the thought of Bruce in this billionaire persona after Jason comes back re-introducing him to the press is too hilarious not to comment on

Bruce, Playboy, Air head, Loving father, billionaire: This is my baby son :D

Jason, shit Ton of scars, built like a house, his muscles have muscles: Sup

Happy Ao3 Maintenance Day! CountDyacalculia and I have both had some updates since the first post. Happy reading!

Just for fun, since ao3 is down, here's a google doc of my long fic

Jason, Dick, and Tim are living together on the streets of Gotham and Bruce has an triple accidental child acquisition

Also, my partner's fic is superb! They are truly masterful and they gave me the okay to drop their fic to enjoy in these trying times!

Cass and Steph also share Batgirl, so the rogues overhear Batman sending 'Batgirl and Robin' their way, and they could be getting the quippy one who will give them blunt force trauma OR! they could be getting their sleep paralysis demon :)

I think Damian and Tim should just both be Robin at the same time. No more beef about who the title belongs to or who the better Robin is, just…. taking turns.

One night Damian is like “I do no have the capacity for Father’s emotional incompetence this evening” and Tim is like “aight i got it, you take the night off” or Tim is overworking himself too much so Damian is “I temporarily relinquish you of your duties”

Sometimes they both go out as Robin, just to mess with the Gotham rogues. Some goon has an altercation with Robin and decides to just hightail it out of there, only to turn around and “oh my god there’s another one”

Sometimes they switch out halfway through patrol and gaslight Bruce about it like “Tim?? Where is Damian??” “wtf i’ve literally been here all night, i can’t believe you thought i was damian, what kind of dad are you” (they actually switched out bc damian has a test the next day and needs a good nights rest)

One night a year, all the former Robins dress up in their old costumes and there’s like 5 robins terrorizing Gotham. cass gets a robin costume too bc she wants to be included.

Dick: You have a brother?? Is he Talia and Bruce’s too?

Damian: Of course, we share the same parentage after all.

Tim: How old is he?

Damian: He says it reset after he went into the Lazarus pit. So he’s 3.

(Bruce is in the background blue screening that he has another child with Talia that he didn’t know about.)

Damian: How old are you?

Jason, unsure if he can count those 6 months in the ground: I’m a few days, cause I went into the Lazarus pit and it went back to 0.
