    I'm sorry - I misspoke towards the end. The number to call or text is 988. I added a link to a short video that discusses how it works. Sending you all love and respect ❤

      Can you help me share my story as a Romanian Orphan as to why Choice must always remain? I think it’s too late now but I still want folks to know.

    Thanks Patrick! I was bummed out today, still in a funk. However a part of me wants to go out in the world proudly displaying my ace and aromantic self unapologetically!

    I'm trans, I'm starting HRT soon. This isn't going to stop me. I know people will fight for me, and I'll be fighting for them, too.

    I am an ally, and I stand with all of you who are scared and hurting. I am also a single 55 year old cat lady who has been told by the next VP that I don't contribute to society and that my vote shouldn't count as much as those who have children. Thank you for the reminder that we are not alone.

    An inch. It’s small and it’s fragile and it’s the only thing in the world worth having. we must never lose it, or sell it, or give it away. We must never let them take it from us. -V for Vendetta (A good movie for what has happened)

    As someone who was part of a cult I was afraid of how this would affect my mental health journey because I don't want to be in an environment controlled by fear anymore. As queer people we're not even the most vulnerable and that's scary. But I'm really glad at how everyone is responding to this with such hope and resilience. Even if things seem hopeless, well, why not hope, why not try, when that's all there is that's left to you?

      I believe that there is joy in living- but for those for whom this is not enough, which admittedly includes me sometimes, there is surviving to spite those who wish to see us gone.

    I appreciate this video! I've been feeling kind of down since the election results... This has helped me to feel just a little bit better though :)

    Thank you for your kind message 💙! I’ve been a Bernie “bro” since 2016 and both parties have been a disappointment and a slap to the face of the working class. I am shook once again and feeling hopeless and exhausted. I can’t imagine giving up, but for now I will wallow on the floor in the safety of my blue state for a bit 😅.

    I may not be from or live in the USA so I'm not directly in danger (except financially, but soon the whole world will probably be) but I stand with all my queer people from the USA🫡 Especially with my fellow aros and aces but also with everyone else.

    I was watching real-time updates on the election and just... wow. Absolute shock; I wasn't expecting him to be president again
    I currently identify as blob- no, unfortunately I'm not joking and even with this label being the best it's not fully fitting- and I'm full of curious horror at what Trump and his goons will do if they have a problem with my gender
    Also, if anyone needs a comforting queer series to read, I recommend The House on the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune and its sequel, Somewhere Beyond the Sea. It focuses on two gay main characters who try to fight for equality for magical people
