15, 19, 22, 25 and 33 for the pride asks !

15. How has your identity changed over time?

Well I don't remember if I actually started cis, but I went from genderfluid to nonbinary, to trans masc, then fem (still not cis), then nonbinary again

19. Do you feel safe and accepted in your local community?

I mean for the most part yeah, the only part of my local community I interact with is at my college and they're all nice and know me from working at the library so ye

22. How do you usually celebrate Pride month?

I don't :>, I grew up in a very separated area of the state, so if nothing happened there, nothing happed at all

25. What queer discourse frustrates you the most?

All of it, but the worst of the worst I think is the people using TME/TMA as a fucking binary instead of understanding that there is so much intersection if you are not cis/het/white/man

33. What about your LGBT identity do you feel proud of/ want to recognize/celebrate?

I don't really care about celebrating, tbh I have a lot more going on in my life to take a moment to celebrate anything

Pride asks for fun:

Which labels do you use?

Do you like to use the term queer for yourself? Or just LGBT, etc?

Which pronouns do you use?

Are you "out" to your family and friends?

Are you "out" publicly?

(If you're out) do you wish you came out sooner? Later? Or was it the right time?

Are you the "token" queer person in your family?

Describe your gender without using any words traditionally related to gender:

When did you realize you weren't cishet?

Something that gives you gender euphoria (whether you're cis or trans):

Favorite (or just one you love) piece of LGBT media?

Name some queer artists/bands or songs you like most:

Do you choose to reclaim slurs, why or why not?

How do you think other factors like neurodivergency or upbringing have impacted your identity?

How has your identity changed over time?

Do you attend Pride in person every year?

Have you ever attended Pride in a big city/ large metro area?

How old were you when you got to attend your first Pride? Who did you go with?

Do you feel safe and accepted in your local community?

Do you feel like you "fit in" with the queer/Pride community overall?

What message would you give to your younger self?

How do you usually celebrate Pride month?

Do you prefer loud parties or quiet?

Do you practice any religion, if so how does it play into your LGBT identity? Do you feel welcomed by your spiritual community?

What queer discourse frustrates you the most?

How do you feel about the term partner rather than husband/girlfriend/etc?

What gender-neutral terms for yourself or others do you use (i.e. joyfriend)?

Do you experience both romantic and sexual attraction? Do you experience them the same across any gender(s) you are attracted to?

Are you currently partnered, or if not are you interested in having partner(s)?

Are you monogamous or polyamorous?

Post a pic in your pride gear (or it can just be a selfie or anything else lgbt):

Do you do arts and crafts? Post a pic of a project you've done:

What about your LGBT identity do you feel proud of/ want to recognize/celebrate?

What are you needing most right now (what would make your life easier or more fulfilling in regards to existing as queer)?

Anything else you want to ask during Pride:

Well!

So first, let's clear a common misconception: no, President Abraham Lincoln did not love Black people nor see them as human equals. At best he was centrist about it (though, even his implication that 'exceptional' Black men ought to vote got him assassinated).

"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do, it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union...I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free."

The "freeing of slaves" after the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 was meant to kneecap the economic and military powers of the seceded South. Lettuce stop making a white savior figure out of Lincoln, or thinking that my people's shackles were unchained via anything other than desperate war strategy and extreme violence. Think on that, for a moment.

That being said!

But not everyone in Confederate territory would immediately be free. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was made effective in 1863, it could not be implemented in places still under Confederate control. As a result, in the westernmost Confederate state of Texas, enslaved people would not be free until much later. Freedom finally came on June 19, 1865, when some 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas. The army announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved black people in the state, were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as "Juneteenth," by the newly freed people in Texas.

Consider going through the Smithsonian website to learn about Juneteenth! Recognize why it's an actual day of freedom, versus July 4th and the independence of a select few.

THE ENTIRE WEST IS BEING PUT UP FOR SALE AND I AM BEGGING YOU TO CALL YOUR SENATORS

Trump’s budget bill has many, many things in it, but buried amongst it is the MILLIONS OF ACRES OF PUBLIC LAND FOR SALE.

This is the entirety of the Arizona state forests, the entire Cascades mountain range. Swathes of pristine desert around the national parks in Utah. On the doorstep of Jackson Hole.

THIS BILL IS BIG, BUT IT CAN BE AMENDED AND ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT PASS AS IS please.

If you have ever enjoyed the wilderness, we stand to lose it all forever.

CALLING your senators - NOT JUST IN THE WEST. ALL SENATORS, is CRUCIAL.

Outdoor alliance has a great resource for reaching out.

I don’t have a huge following but please, everywhere I have ever loved, the forests I grew up playing in, the land I got married on, is all at risk and I am begging.
