Today, in response to the death of Nex Benedict, we at It Gets Better joined more than 350 LGBTQ+ orgs, civil rights groups, and public figures in calling on Oklahoma legislative leadership to immediately remove Ryan Walters as the state’s superintendent of public instruction; and to launch an investigation into the Department of Education.
All youth should feel support and encouragement at school, not bullying and harassment. Nex Benedict is not with us today, because those who are responsible for education in the state of Oklahoma have enabled a climate of hate and bigotry that led to Nex’s death.
Read our letter and join our demands for action: bit.ly/JusticeForNex
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.

Don't take this lying down! Fuck Tumblr feeding AI our posts. Opt-out now! Leave them nothing to work with.
On mobile it's under visibility settings. On browser it's under blog settings. I opted out on browser and I had to do it for each side blog individually. I'm assuming it's the same on mobile.
hi everyone, my dad and his siblings have been desperately trying to get my aunt and her whole family out of gaza. I’ve watched him have multiple breakdowns over seeing the conditions they’re living in. they haven’t seen each other in person in literal decades. my aunt’s home in gaza city was completely destroyed and her family have had to repeatedly flee from the devastation. they deserve a better life than this, her kids deserve a better future than this.
it costs an insane amount to get over the egyptian border. please, donate if you can or rb this, it would mean a lot. thank you
How would YOU, dear reader, like to force me to listen to any music you want*? Well I started a Spotify Jam and I'm letting literally anybody add songs. I'm planning on making this last as long as possible, and getting as many people as possible involved, so please feel free to spread the message!
I'll probably be keeping a journal of sorts, with some daily updates. I'll be using the tag "#the jam to end all jams" on any post relating to this, in case you don't want to see anything about it

*As long as it's on Spotify, if anybody knows a way to do this with any other software please let me know!
More than 60% of the global population that are classified as the Phase 5 famine/catastrophe level of food insecurity and starvation are in the Gaza Strip right now, and that percentage is projected to increase to 95% by Februrary
People seem to forget homeless people have more needs than food especially to get out of that situation and there tend to be way more resources to get free food than to get things like menstrual products or clothing or hygiene items you have no idea what a homeless person needs money for or how much they have or if they’re saving. And yes, once again, they might NEED drugs. Alcohol withdrawal can literally kill you. You can’t give someone money or assistance with strings attached and pretend you’re doing it for anybody except yourself. That’s to make you feel better, not help them
