ICE made a decision to order all international students whose universities are online to leave the country or risk facing immigration consequences and getting deported which essentially means that students will have to decide between leaving the US or risk their health. many countries don’t even have their borders open and some people may not even have places to go so please sign this petition which requests that international students get the option to finish their degrees and remain in the USA

Heya <3

I'm Jay/Liev, a transmasc student that lately suffers from some troubling mental health issues due to stress.

I don't like asking for money, but as I am not allowed to take a part-time job while in college (since my agency doesn't allow me to) I need to find ways to save some money to pay for my second year. It will be approximately £5,600 and I am in a family consisting only of my mother, sister and me.

My mum already has 3 jobs and can barely pay for our flat and general needs. I would not want to ask her to pay for all of my second college year; it is a large amount of money after all and we wouldn't be able to afford it very easily. It is hard for her lately to pay me the pocket money I need every month and I need it to pay for food, which is why I can no longer save as much as I'd like to. I sold most of the things I could, like books and films, but couldn't get a lot for them.

I will (hopefully) be able to get a scholarship, but it will not pay for everything.

It would be nice if anybody could spare even just a little so I can save it.

I will soon post a commission sheet that is going to be rather cheap, so look out for that, too.

I have opened a Ko-fi, and the money will be saved and put away for the second college year or used to afford the groceries or school supplies I need.

It would also be sweet if you could just reblog this if you don't mind.

Thank you <3

When Adam bit the apple he did it because he trusted Eve. Because he loved her. Adam bit into the apple because the woman he loved told him to, no matter what God said. No matter the rules of heaven. What’s heaven to a woman’s love anyway? What’s God to your wife? The first sins of humanity, were trusting others. Eve trusted a snake, Adam trusted Eve, and I trust you. Maybe that’s a sin, just like the first couple. Maybe everyone’s right about us and we’re sinners and we offend God. But like I said, what’s God to a woman’s love anyway? What has heaven got that I can’t find sitting next to you on a cool autumn morning?

Let's remember and celebrate Carmen Rupe:

It's pride month, and in the midst of the protests around the world, it is good to remember our trailblazing forbears. I'm from New Zealand, so thought I would tell y'all about Carmen. She was an absolutely epic Maori trans woman, activist, entertainer, drag queen, sex worker, and mayoral candidate, who was well known in Wellington in the 60s and 70s.

She did so many awesome things in her life, so to keep this brief I'll list some of them here:

Was arrested several times for "behaving in an offensive manner in a public place" (aka appeared in public dressed as a woman), eventually leading to a judge ruling that it was not illegal for men to dress in women's clothing and dismissing the case, which was a massive win for the times, and she never wore male clothing again.

Proprieter of Carmen's international coffee lounge, the Balcony strip club and several other establishments, which were staffed by a mix of drag queens, trans folks, gay men, straight men and lesbian women. The coffee lounge was very popular, and many local/international celebrities made regular appearances. (Unfortunately these businesses were also the target of threats, vandalism, and police raids)

She was very protective of those new to the sex industry, and helped those transitioning.

Became a local celebrity, who caused a national scandal in 1975, when she claimed that an unnamed member of parliament was gay, and that others were bisexual (during a TV interview). This lead to her being called before the parliamentary privileges committee (saying that MPs were guilty of illegal sex was a pretty big breach of parliamentary privilege)

She turned up to the hearing in a limousine, dressed super dramatically in black, and was met with a crowd of fans. Of course the media went crazy, bc... can you imagine the level of epicness?

Went to the Trentham races topless, and was on the front page of the Sunday newspapers

Used her fame to support many charities and community initiatives, participating in fundraising events etc

A particularly important appearance was when she joined dame Whina Cooper on the steps of parliament at the end of the 1975 land march (which if you aren't aware, was protesting Maori land alienation, I reccommend reading more about it if you're interested, it's an important part of New Zealand history)

In 1977 she stood for Mayor of Wellington, campaigning for extending bar opening hours, lowering the drinking age, making sex work legal, Homosexual law reform, and decriminalization of abortion. -> many of these policies were later enacted, even though she lost the election.

Throughout her campaign she appeared wearing glamorous ball gowns.

In 1979 she moved to Sydney, and at her farewell ball, was crowned Queen of Wellington.

In Sydney, she managed a community centre helping homeless and vulnerable people. She was an advocate for safe sex, HIV/AIDS education, and LGBTIQ+ rights.

She was a respected member of the Te Rau Aroha kapa haka group, and raised money for the casualties of the King's Cross fire.

Later on in life, she received several awards for her activism, and performed in the 2002 Sydney gay games. She died in 2011, aged 75, but her legacy lives on.

In 2016 pedestrian crossing lights depicting Carmen were installed on Cuba st, Wellington, to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the Homosexual law reform act 1986. "Her out and proud attitude paved the way for transgender visibility and LGBTIQ+ rights in New Zealand and Australia."

It's sad that a lot of the people I've talked to here in Wellington don't know about Carmen, and just assume the lights on the rainbow crossing are some random drag queen. Let's take the opportunity to remember our history!

The most hilarious thing about She-ra and the Princesses of Power is this: it’s a sophisticated and critically-acclaimed 2010s cartoon, with characters who have complex, multi-dimensional relationships and well-developed personalities with interesting character arcs… and they’re all saddled with these ridiculously on-the-nose 1980s toy commercial cartoon names. So there’s the snow princess Frosta and the mermaid princess Mermista; the archer is named Bow and the sorceress is named Castaspella. The leader of the Horde is Hordak, and Catra is a cat. It’s like a version of Avatar where everything’s the same except Katara, Sokka, and Zuko are named Waterella, Boomer, and Hotman.
