CLARIFICATION :

The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline.

They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY

So spread this around

They can be texted. They can be called.

And remember that right now everyone is in a reaction phase. Everything will seem bleak and catastrophic and we're all upset and scared.

Take time away from social media to ground yourself. Go punch a pillow or hug someone or make a grilled cheese.

Just take care of yourself. ❤

Where it started vs where it is now!
Trust the process, but don’t be afraid to start over if need be!

Or to use reference pics

I had a t-shirt from a local store once that had an equation on it. Something like milk+eggs+butter=cake.

With my rack, the addition signs ended up being situated right about where my nips would be lol
Based on real events. Has this ever happened to you? 👕🤦‍♀️ [#comic #repostober]

THIS! I'm tired of this garbage, but we cannot afford to sleep on this!s. Call your rep and tell 'em this bill is horse-pucky and we don't like it. Do not let them tear away 13 million people's health care coverage. We're already struggling. No one should want this!
Hey call your representative and be VOCAL about this "One Big Beautiful Bill". This isn't something to ignore. This is going to cut funding and increase the requirements for Medicaid and SNAP and it's going to become more expensive for student loans just to name a few.

Call your representatives TODAY! Do not sleep on this! This is catastrophically anti free speech. DO NOT allow them take your rights!
This bill would criminalize pornography by legally redefining what it means to be obscene.

Period. Full stop. No more porn legally. If you post porn whether free pics or paid vids. this affects you!

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively.

Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.
Well, here we go. The GOP has just introduced a bill to effectively outlaw all pornography.

The bill dismantles the Supreme Court's Miller Test for obscenity, removing provisions that the content be patently offensive to community standards.

It costs nothing to make one of your trans homies feel affirmed and to remind them they are God's blessed and beloved children. 🏳️‍⚧️

Please. If you feel like you can't do it anymore. If it's all too much. Please call for help or reach out to a supportive resource. Please don't make the world grieve you and don't rob yourself of the future you could have. You are loved. There are people who do or will love you. Please don't go.
