“What do you call your nonbinary child?

The fruits of your labor.”

The Dutch are something else

I hate when people call me a survivor.

I haven’t survived.

Not yet.

fatima aamer bilal, from shame is a girl’s second skin.

[text id: i wanted to hurl my girlhood on a sidewalk and never walk that road again. / my insides have been eating me up alive lately. / i put my fist in my throat and yank misery out of me. / it looks like me. / you think your touch would burn the sun. / but you want to be held, / you’ll let a hand around your throat for the sake of it. / in grade one, i was six, i would pick the skin off my thumbs until they were bloody, so my teacher would hold my hand and ask me if i was okay. i was six. i thought the show of wounds would earn me love. where did i learn that from? / I WAS SIX / little girl, you’ll grow up, but the malice on your tongue will forever be the words of your father. / every time he opens his mouth, you think it’s to shout. it’s not. / what are memories of childhood if not quicksand? swallowing you whole. / my mother and i, we sit down at the dinner table and translate each other’s hurts, but we do not speak. / because you don’t address the hurt / (it hurts more) / learning to say goodbye but never to let go / choosing to sit in a house that’s burning, because that’s home to you / oh, how i wish this was just a phase, but i am afraid life is becoming a coffin, just with ample space.]

Unclench your jaw. Release your tongue from the roof of your mouth. Relax your shoulders. You’re gonna get through this. Just hold on, please.

Don’t think about what can happen in a month. Don’t think about what can happen in a year. Just focus on the 24 hours in front of you and do what you can to get closer to where you want to be.

You are valid 💕. If you stay alive just a little bit longer we’ll find something worth living for. My messages are open. I hear you. I see you. You are valid. We don’t have to make the world shake at our fingertips, we just need to get through the day.

"Don't shove it down our throats"

"Protect the kids, keep this away from them"

No. Stop.

We need to keep showing it

We need to let people that they are seen.

We need to show these kids. Kids. That they have someone.

Why?

Because queer youth are 4 times more likely to commit suicide than their peers

Because 45 percent or queer youth have considered suicide within the last year

Because a young queer person attempts suicide every 45 seconds

Because having just one supportive adult reduscing the risk of suicide in queer teens by 40 percent

If you want to protect the kids, save our fucking lives

Instead of saying to stop shoving it down your throats

Take the pills out of our throats

Take the noose off our necks

Take the blades and guns out of our hands

And let them out their hands there instead

So they can hold us and help us

And listen an let us know

Hey. I see you. I hear you. Your feelings are valid. And you are loved

If you care about the children then let us be seen and heard...

At this point I'm scared for my life... If I didn't have a support adult that had that sign on their door at school and wore that pin I would be dead

That sign. That pin. They don't hurt the straight cis kids. They don't cause harm. They don't get affected by them. But it saved my life...

So please. Stop saying stuff like that.

To other queer kids, please. Here me. You are loved. You will be accepted one day. My messages are open. You deserve to be alive. You're not broken. You're not a fuck up. You are a person just like me and all those other 8 billion on this planet. You are worth so much more than what theyve said. I love you so so so so so much. This world is better with you here. It's better with you and your personality because you're unique. We need people who are different. I love you. I'm here if you need anything at all. And I'm so proud of you...

“Joy that we are here; joy that others are near.”

Joy to the Queers

There's laughing in the streets,

Sounds of good joy

Flags flow in the wind,

Music blasting in the open air

And to think,

That what got us here

Was Black trans women

And drag queens

After decades of hate,

We finally thrive

After decades of fear

We finally strive

Queer history is here,

And we will not hide

We will not sit and watch

The tides go by

Queer joy is important,

Maybe more than pride

Joy that we are here,

Joy that others are near

Joy that we can live

Not just survive

Joy that all of us

Can finally thrive

Joy to the Queers,

Ignoring the jeers

Joy to the Queers,

Well into their years

Sipping on beer

Joy to the Queers,

Who died

But were not forgotten

Joy to us all,

For making it this far

As we march in the streets,

People will hear us sing

No one can ignore,

The joy of a thousand Queers

But where are the chipmunks???

I don’t know what’s worse, having anxiety or having depression.

I just want to be able to go out to eat at a restaurant and enjoy it.
