Some proof that there ARE elected officials out there, like Vice Mayor Sean Cummings in Oklahoma, who are standing up for LGBTQ+ youth like Nex Benedict and calling out the fact that our words and rhetoric DO matter.
[Context: In this video, Sean Cummings is seen speaking to Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters referring to the death of student Nex Benedict].

hey! do you feel like everyone sucks? that no one who isn't queer/disabled/othered will ever agree with you? well golly jee you are wrong!
my class is very queer, with an exception of like three girls who are honestly respectful. on the van this morning, on the way to school, one of our token straight girls OINKS AT A COP WITH ME. they didn't hear because we were in the van going down the damn highway, but it was super unexpected.
I promise, not everyone is evil. not even ablebodied-neurotypical-cishet-alloromantic white girls with a valley girl accent

“Boston Legal” (2004-2008)
This is a television show with one of the most heartwarming QPR’s I’ve seen. Though this is a legal dramedy with lots of characters, the heart of this show is the bond between main characters Alan Shore and Denny Crane and fighting amatonormativity.
The series has a wonderful depiction of their already strong friendship growing into a beautiful queerplatonic relationship. Though these two have plenty of friendships and some romantic relationships with other characters, it is made clear that the bond between Alan and Denny will always take priority.
I love so many things about these characters. Though they have very different world views, they will always discuss why they feel this way about certain issues and almost always come to a mutual agreement. The few times they don’t, they ‘agree to disagree’ because of not wanting this to come between their bond. Though Denny is kind of a jerk in the beginning and somewhat closed-minded, he can’t help but change for the better due to his bond with Alan. They talk about everything with each other. In later seasons they have a discussion on whether or not their bond is romantic, and they settle on calling themselves (since the characters don���t know the word for QPR) flamingos - so great. They say they love each other, at first privately and then publicly.
They even (huge spoiler, but I’m including it because it’s what made me watch this series in the first place)…
… get married in the final season, and have to defend their marriage in court due to people accusing them it’s not a 'real’ marriage. Alan gives an absolutely beautiful speech about how there are all kinds of love, and while he and Denny do not have anything romantically going on they love each other in a way that is difficult to describe but still there.
If you like legal dramas/comedies this is the show for you; if you don’t you can fast-forward the courtroom scenes and still understand the show - this show was made for Alan and Denny, and the legal parts are just the wrapping paper. Nice wrapping paper, but still wrapping paper.
It should be noted that there are romantic subplots (including Alan and Danny but not between them), but this show does 1) an excellent job of fighting amatonormativity 2) prioritizes the emerging QPR

a little reminder
A gentle reminder to all restless souls out there.
You're exactly where you need to be right now. And it might not seem like it, and you might be feeling awful but that's okay. Allow yourself to feel whatever it is you're feeling. You're not behind in life, you're not failing. Whatever is meant for you, will not only find you but it will also work itself out. The things meant for you will flow effortlessly. No need for pressure and worry. What will be, will be. All you have to do is be and let it unfold.
just breathe and be

I coach a bunch of 3 year olds. Today, when one of them go to the field, he screamed my name in excitement and ran over to me.
It was the first time in months I felt I actually mattered to someone.

Just a lil much-needed queer youth joy - we need to talk about these students and allies in Hawai'i!
Students from Campbell- Kapolei Complex Schools used funding from one of our 50 States 50 Grants to give SO much support to their queer communities.
They bolstered their GSA clubs, held community based education events like a Halloween party and craft day, and even got to attend Honolulu Pride - where Hawai'i-raised Bretman Rock showed up for a surprise visit and marched alongside the students to honor them and their work, having attended the same schools themself growing up!
So proud of these students for recognizing what they need in their own communities.
And lucky for y'all...apps are open for the 3rd season of 50 States, 50 Grants right now through April 1, 2024 - if you're a high schooler or middle schooler in the US/DC/territories and have an idea for how you'd use the funds at your own school, don't miss out on applying: 50states50grants.org

!sh! I've had my fair share of struggles with self harm. No matter how much u try to recreate the feeling with ice and red food dye nothing really feels the same. The urges suck so bad u want to hurt yourself so bad but u know u shouldn't. True pain is having to watch your family and friends watch you struggle. Having to put on a hoodie in summer just because ur ashamed of your scars is hard. I've releapsed many times and that shit fucking hurts, having to lie to your parents and tell them you are clean even though u know its not true is really painfull. But I promise it gets better I know everyone says that but its honestly true please take care of yourself <3333 and im always here if u need to talk sending love :]
