QT Summer Camp is hosting The Creepy QT Halloween Party, this Saturday, October 25th, in North Charleston. This event celebrates our second full summer of outdoor camps for Queer and Trans kids and connects campers and families to community resources. QT Camp creates affirming communities for LGBTQIA+ children and families through camp programs focusing on education, empowerment, and self-advocacy. We are proud to offer these camps free of charge, and grateful for our donors who make that possible. On Tuesday, our all-volunteer staff was made aware of a social media post by a prominent political figure. In this post, the QT Halloween Party was targeted with harmful and hate-filled language and ideas. QT Camp condemns the use of Queer and Trans children as campaign fodder. “QT Camp was created in 2023 as a response to South Carolina legislators failing our most vulnerable children,” states Kyndra Luce, QT Camp Director. “We will continue the vital work of creating supportive, inclusive programs for these kiddos. We hope for a future in which our elected officials join us.” QT Summer Camp celebrates campers by providing a safe space for the community that queer and trans kids, like all children, need to thrive. Join us in supporting, celebrating and protecting our campers and their families. Register for the Creepy QT Halloween Party at qtcamp.org, sign up to volunteer, or donate to support this event and our year-round programs for Queer and Trans kids. From the parent of a QT Camper: “Before QT Camp, my child was isolated and had begun self-harming. I believe that QT Camp saved his life.”

Meme with text above a screenshot from Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964). The text above reads: when someone responds to my critique of modern society with "well what's YOUR solution then?" Below, the screenshot shows Professor Miura, saying, "It may sound primitive and unscientific, but through the fairies, we could ask Mothra to help."

Vaccines dot gov is broken, unsurprisingly (this is not my zip code but mine doesn't work either)
Screenshot of the home page for vaccines.gov, showing that a valid five digit zip code that was entered prompts an error message to "Please enter a valid 5-digit zip code"

Simple black and white line drawn comic of a dark haired femme in three panels with a banner reading "❤️ Listen to your heart ❤️" across the top panels. In panel 1, we see a small door on her chest that she is looking at and reaching toward. In panel 2, she looks up at the banner above. In the final panel, we zoom in on the door, now open, with a little bitty Captain Planet (full color) inside. He's saying "turn billionaires into compost"

Figure from a paper wherein cuttlefish pass a shrimpy version of the marshmallow test. The joke is that some simple symbols now associated with the popular Netflix horror/thriller (square, circle, triangle) now represent the treatments in the control and experimental setups

Oh lordy. It is usually something totally different than the search term but I hadn't seen AI yet. 🫠

A few I've kept:

Screenshot of an illustrated attractive redhead (labeled "Me") in a gold bikini top, reverently holding two large crystals to the sky. Both crystals are sending rainbows up into the heavens. In one hand, the red crystal is labeled "Fuck the system." In the other, a greenish crystal is labeled "Love and light."

A novel origami creature that looks like the unholy spawn of a traditional paper crane and the Mothman statue in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. The image credits reddit user AdministrativeLab683 with its creation. The creature looks resigned and determined, despite having a paper crane face.
