i'm sure a lot of you in the states are aware of what's been happening down in florida with Ron DeSantis and his wave of anti-trans bills he's trying to push through. there have been over 400 anti-trans/lgbt bills advanced in the united states in 2023 alone, but the good news is that not all of them are making it through into law.

if you're a florida resident, i implore you to contact your representatives (find them here) and there are various scripts available online if you need help figuring out what to say. if you click through to TransEquality you can submit your information and it will send a message through for you.

Transformations Project is also tracking legislation across the country, at the state & national level, and can help you contact your representatives as well. (they are also on tumblr @transformationsproject)

and if you're able, here are some organizations helping trans people and lgbt youth in florida that you can donate to:

onePULSE Foundation

PRISM

Equality Florida

JASMYN

Pridelines

Aqua Foundation

Zebra Youth

Good morning soul family,

In every spiritual practice we use some form of spiritual cologne, whether that be Florida water or others more traditional to your practice. Now as we all know, buying products for your practice is all fine and dandy but making your own oils and products really adds that extra power or as we call it Asé. This book gives you all the knowledge you need to make your own spiritual colognes for any working or cleansing. Recipes include a traditional Florida water recipe as well many more even a jockey club cologne!

Currently being sold on my Etsy!

I will be releasing 2 other books this week on working with oil lamps & crafting your personal spiritual practice!

Post your valentines, if you made any, and tag this account so they can be reblogged! You can still make some today if you forgot or didn't know, there's templates available here (or you can make your own too!). Check out the TFR linktree as well if you're looking to give or get some love today. There's places to donate to TFR itself (for redistribution to the community in various ways), gofundmes, an ever-growing resource doc, and our discord server (come hang out!!). TFR would not exist without a love for our community fueling it, so I want you to know how loved each and every one of you is - and that's real 🏳️‍⚧️💞

On the bills across the country which are aiming to essentially eradicate marginalized communities through eliminating our rights. Would suggest watching if you are: queer, trans, capable of becoming pregnant, Black, disabled, or under the age of 18.

If someone is an educator in Florida and knows about FAST tests, please I need your help

I teach an immigrant child on zoom who is in grade 4th and she struggles very much with essay writing

Her parents gave me chatgpt as a resource to teach her how to write and I can't even tell how appalled I was

I need some resources because the pattern of education is very different from my country and I don't want to rely on AI to teach a kid how to write

Please help!

DeSantis orders Florida resources to stop Haitian migrants

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, anticipating what his office called the “possibility for invasion,” ordered more than 250 law enforcement officers and soldiers to the Florida Keys on Wednesday to stop Haitian migrants fleeing violence.

nearly two people deployed for every Haitian migrant who has been repatriated by the U.S. Coast Guard in the last five months.

;; so idk how many of my mutuals fit this specifically, but I figured I'd ask while sharing the news.

This Friday at noon, I am interviewing for the Disney College Program. I'm hoping to get in, to get some work experience and try to take classes to improve my abilities... (Also the company name looks v good on a resume lmao). Bonus is that I'm a nerd for defunct and existing ride trivia so...

My question is... have any of my moots done the DCP? If so, do you have advice?

#;your local shibe ryn (ooc) #tbd #personals dni #i feel like i'll do well bc i have lots of resources for the questions + process but #idk bc it also would be hard moving away for 5 months to florida (ech!!) and possibly being unable to bring my cat

I haven't been out in public much due to taking a year off from school and not being able to work. I've been watching the news around the i/p conflict from indoors and have admittedly been reluctant to look at my states numbers.

So, i finally decided to take a look at the ADL's H.E.A.T. Map and uh...

Florida's had a huge rise in white supremacist propaganda and antisemetic hate crimes since the start of 2023. I figured there would be, since the backlash against the global jewry has been particularly volatile both on and offline. But i hadn't checked the local numbers until now.

We are one of the few states into the 100+ range and that's particularly horrifying. If we look into the specific numbers, we have:

123 antisemitic incidents, with a majority being vandalism and harassment. A number of these incidents occurred with white supremacist movement (propaganda being spread as well as gatherings).

I know everyone's probably exhausted. But i just want to point out some of the hotspots: Orlando (17 incidents), West Palm Beach (10), Boca Raton (7), Fort Lauderdale (4), and Miami (6).

Thankfully, my city has not had any, and I hope that remains.

I don't know enough about the conflict to say anything more than this: I want jews and palestanians to be safe. I want them to have an ability to govern themselves and not be infringed upon or attacked. I don't want more people to die, on either side.

And, it is not "decolonization" to suggest that an entire civilian population be destroyed for the wrongdoings of their government.

We can call for the dismantling of Israel's government all we want, but THIS here only proves what others have said: the diaspora is too unsafe. This is what is used to reinforce the notion that Israel is necessary at all costs.

We cannot call for deconstruction without being willing to address the rampant white supremacy and antisemitism throughout the US and most of Europe. We can't keep kicking jews out of their homes.

You can't support a free Palestine then use antisemitism as a bludgeon, and expect that to somehow save them.

Focus more on combating antisemitism in your area and generating support for Palestinian relief.

Check out: Palestine Red Crescent Society to support Gaza, especially in providing medical relief.

Learn about antisemitism: Antisemitism Uncovered to understand its forms and prevent an increase of it in the diaspora.

#I so far haven't made any posts of my own on this #but I wanted to check a few things out and here we are #do I have a solution? No #do I know the best way to prevent bloodshed and destruction for either group? No #but I don't want to just act like this isn't a complicated situation #or that it's not callous and horrible to cheer on ANY of their deaths #I don't support Israel's government but that doesn't mean we should be cheering for Israelis to die for that #and some of you are so fucking gleeful about it #and so many of you are cloaking your hatred for jews in progressive words #maybe care more about sharing resources that can give Palestine and Gaza relief support #i/p #mine. #look around and see #Also if you're American and your cheering for the destruction of Israel and its citizens in the name of “decolonization” #then I sincerely hope you're willing to die if those colonized here call for it #because that's what you're asking them to do – even if that is supremely unfeasible and actually not a good solution #we shouldn't be calling for any group to die #florida issues

Introduction Post V.2 Electric Boogaloo

Pride Month Calendar

Part 1 of the Pride Month project

Hello! My name is Soul, I run this project with the occasional assistance of some others. I use they/them pronouns and identify as Non-binary. I am also Asexual and Aromantic.

The purpose of this project is to bring awareness and acceptance to the LGBT+ community.

That being said, I am one person and I do have a life, so posts are inconsistent(I'm trying to become more consistent but it's hard). In addition, if there are any incorrect statements please let me know. I will research it from there and fix what needs to be fixed.

This project can NOT exist or go anywhere without assistance from the community, please share it; interact with it; and leave questions, comments, thoughts, or ideas.

You can find the link tree to the social medias and survey here. Please note that social media is hard and while I will try, posts on tumblr will be the most consistent and up to date.

You can also Email us at [email protected]

March results from the survey can be found here, note that the information has been mostly collected from tumblr and as such is not complete nor representative of the community as a whole.

The tags for this blog will be as follows

florida trans resources list

not my list so i can’t personally vouch for everything— if you can avoid using folx health for example, i wouldn’t recommend it tbh. if it’s your only option or works for you tho great.

otherwise, if you plan to donate i recommend sending money to like local mutual aid groups particularly

also links to some individual fundraisers for leaving florida, unsure how often that’s updated

Oh wait, i have an actual questions. Any tips for moving to a new place with a cat ?

Honestly the thing is Almondmilk was SO chill about moving. He hates the car but that’s it, I held him like a baby for the 45 minute drive and he put up with it. If you can I find having all their stuff fully set up before the car moves in helps a lot.

But I also literally fed Almondmilk dinner after he got home and he was like “oh, okay, I live here now? cool.”

#he moved around a lot as a kitten/young cat (emotional support animal that went w me back and forth from home to college) #so we got very lucky w him #and I think Mattie hated living in Florida so much that she also adjusted like. immediately. #give them their resources and it’s half the battle
