As I step into the woods, a sense of wonder envelops me. The towering trees reach for the sky, their ancient branches whispering secrets of centuries past. Each step feels like a journey through time, as I weave through the labyrinth of nature's grandeur.

Old growth forests are more than just breathtaking landscapes; they are vital ecosystems teeming with life. These towering giants provide homes for countless species, from tiny insects to majestic birds of prey. The rich biodiversity nurtured within their midst is a testament to the intricate web of life that thrives in harmony.

But their importance goes beyond mere habitat. Old growth forests act as guardians of the environment, playing a crucial role in regulating climate and maintaining ecological balance. Massive trees act as carbon sinks, absorbing and storing carbon dioxide, thus mitigating the impacts of climate change.

As I wander deeper into the heart of the forest, I am reminded of the urgency to protect these ancient guardians. Their preservation is not just for our enjoyment but for the well-being of the planet itself. In their silent majesty lies the key to a sustainable future, where nature thrives and humanity coexists in harmony with the natural world.

At 12 I was still reading The Babysitter’s Club books and thought I was mature because I got tired of Barbie dolls.

Sex was kind of an idea. I knew fine well babies weren’t made by a bird flying in and giving you a baby. I was aware of things.

But it still utterly unthinkable to me that anyone thinks a 12 year girl could get married and do *that* and be psychologically fine.

Why is this man not on a watch list?

I think the conservatives will have a fucking heart attack when they realize that there is no gay or trans agenda and we literally just want to exist without fear for our safety

"WHO WILL WE USE AS A SCAPEGOAT TO TRICK PEOPLE INTO VOTING FOR US NOW?" 😭

Hello everyone, I really don't like asking for it, but it's undeniable that me and my housemates could use some help. We live in a very conservative area, and all of us are visibly queer. We're trying to raise funds to move somewhere safer, but the only way I can earn income safely is through art, as I've been threatened or put in harm's way due to my apparent trans-ness at every place I've worked at. My roommates face similar tribulations, living in the public eye here is simply unsustainable. There's more info on the going-ons of our situation in the gofundme, but if you can't afford to donate, sharing this post, my commission post, or the gofundme on my other social medias does so much in the way of getting us out of here.

if you'd rather donate directly, my paypal and kofi.

We are extremely appreciative of any help we can get, shares makes a huge difference.

AND, for your time, an image of our cat, Mr Mayor, who you would also be benefiting.

Thank you.

#ah. a huge part of why i've backed out of online social spaces n haven't been posting as much all around is what's goin on here.#i've been doing better now that there's a prospective move on the horizon #but i hope to be making art for yall at a regular ish pace again soon #ironically i finished this gofundme yesterday. which. was the day i got called a tr*nny while minding my business in a taco bell. if that u #puts any more emphasis on how conservative of an area we're in #from the bottom of my heart #thank you for reading.#trans #transgender #gofundme #crowdfund #please help #signal boost #lgbtq #queer #i'm not sure what else to tag #help ?#aah

The saddest gatcha I've seen people try using against trans people and our transitions is that changing ourselves in any way is somehow "proof" we hate ourselves.

It's sad to me to think that one sees any change as foreign, unsightly, and antithetical to who somebody is - I did not need to hate myself to transition, I simply accepted that changing my circumstances and making them more befitting to what I wanted was the best way to honour and live my life.

Change is a part of living, proof that you have stood with time, physically and mentally. If transition isn't an ultimate form of love due to the change it often brings, then I question if we understand what "love" and "change" fundamentally are.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #transphobia #transphobia tw #TO BE LOVED IS TO BE CHANGED. understand this and the world makes more sense #this anti-change idea is a very conservative and almost... primal (i guess?) reaction #when one sees change as a dangerous threat to be stamped out at the root then you will see ALL change this way #for one to change will become unsightly and menacing - how could it not?

The liberal culture of perpetually walking on eggshells, fearing that whatever you say might offend somebody, or (alternatively) feeling like you are always a victim to everybody's microaggressions is extremely unhealthy.

The conservative culture of perpetually being rude under the guise of "just saying it like it is", completely disregarding that what you say might offend somebody, or entering into conversations always on the defense is extremely unhealthy.

People in both left and right political groups who fit within these behavioral patterns seem to operate off of getting high from feeling righteousness.

These behavioral trends in both groups breed authoritarianism, paranoia, ignorance, aggression, ideological purity, and black and white thinking.

“The suit centers on Lorie Smith, a website designer who does not want to provide her services for gay weddings because of her religious objections.

In 2016, she says, a gay man named Stewart requested her services for help with his upcoming wedding. “We are getting married early next year and would love some design work done for our invites, placenames etc. We might also stretch to a website,” reads a message he apparently sent her through her website. In court filings, her lawyers produced a copy of the inquiry.

Web designer’s US supreme court case could trample LGBTQ+ rights, advocates say

But Stewart, who requested his last name be withheld for privacy, said in an interview with the Guardian that he never sent the message, even though it correctly lists his email address and telephone number. He has also been happily married to a woman for the last 15 years, he said. The news was first reported by the New Republic.

In fact, until he received a call this week from a reporter from the magazine, Stewart said he had no idea he was somehow tied up in a case that had made it to the supreme court.

“I can confirm I did not contact 303 Creative about a website,” he said. “It’s fraudulent insomuch as someone is pretending to be me and looking to marry someone called Mike. That’s not me.

“What’s most concerning to me is that this is kind of like the one main piece of evidence that’s been part of this case for the last six-plus years and it’s false,” he added. “Nobody’s checked it. Anybody can pick up the phone, write an email, send a text, to verify whether that was correct information.”

Key document may be fake in LGBTQ+ rights case before US Supreme Court, The Guardian, by Sam Levine

Those who perform "gender-affirming surgery" on MINORS is no better than a paedophile or s groomer.

I know that it is sometimes used to treat intersex people (which should certainly remain an important exception to this rule) however that's rare. Most of them are not done for that reason.

These scumbags should be thrown in prison for the rest of their lives.

Librarians Against Clause 28

Section 28 legislation [Clause 27/28] was introduced in 1988 to ban the "promotion of homosexuality" in the UK. Schools and councils were unable to provide young LGBTQ+ people with help. This homophobic legislation was partly introduced following the outcry over "Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin" being available to schoolchildren in Haringey. This picture book described the life of five-year-old Jenny, her father Martin, and his boyfriend Eric who lives with them.⁠ There was also increasing homophobia in the mainstream press due to the AIDS crisis and, when Margaret Thatcher spoke at the 1987 Conservative Party Conference, she declared how children were "being taught that they have an inalienable right to be gay" and "all of those children are being cheated of a sound start in life". Section 28 was finally repealed on 21 June 2001 in Scotland and on 18 November 2003 in the rest of the UK.

Conservative delegates voted Saturday to add some new social conservative policies to their policy playbook, including a proposal to limit access to transgender health care for minors and another to do away with vaccine mandates. Despite warnings that these policies could be weaponized by their political opponents to hurt their standing among more moderate voters, a strong majority of the delegates on hand voted for a motion that stated children should be prohibited from gender-related "life-altering medicinal or surgical interventions," and for another that said Canadians should have "bodily autonomy" when it comes to vaccines and other health treatments. About 69 per cent of the delegates agreed that young people should be barred from gender-affirming care, which sometimes includes hormone-related treatments that delay puberty or promote the development of masculine or feminine sex characteristics.

George W. Bush, the infamously anti-gay and neoconservative former U.S. president who invaded Iraq on a lie, has criticized congressional Republicans for threatening to defund the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a largely successful African HIV-prevention program that he launched back in 2003. “There is no program more pro-life” than PEPFAR, he wrote.

Though PEPFAR is estimated to have saved over 25 million lives, its funding is set to expire on September 30. Congressional Republicans are falsely claiming that the program promotes abortion and using its re-funding as a bargaining chip in budget negotiations. Republicans have threatened to defund the entire federal government at the end of the month unless they’re allowed to slash military diversity programs and military aid to Ukraine and to increase anti-immigration measures at the U.S.-Mexico border.

“We are on the verge of ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic. To abandon our commitment now would forfeit two decades of unimaginable progress and raise further questions about the worth of America’s word,” Bush wrote in a Wednesday opinion article in The Washington Post.

Bush said that his Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, his White House chief of staff Joshua Bolton, and his senior policy advisor Michael Gerson had advised him to begin PEPFAR. Gerson reportedly told Bush that it would be “a source of national shame” if the U.S. didn’t try to help end the worldwide HIV epidemic.

Bush’s opinion article cited words that Gerson himself had written in defense of PEPFAR in November 2017: “Are Republicans in Congress prepared to squander a legacy of GOP leadership that has won the United States considerable goodwill around the world? Among evangelical Christians, what definition of being ‘pro-life’ does not include saving millions of lives from preventable disease and death?”

Adding his own thoughts, Bush wrote, “There is no program more pro-life than one which has saved more than 25 million lives. I urge Congress to reauthorize PEPFAR for another five years without delay.”

During his presidency, Bush backed a constitutional amendment against same-sex marriage, and used bans on same-sex marriage to help him win re-election in 2004. While he served, 27 states banned same-sex marriage.

Despite Bush’s anti-gay record, PEPFAR was “a sound investment in U.S. security,” Ben Plumley, the former CEO of the now-defunct international HIV organization Pangea, said in a now-deleted interview with Hornet.com. Plumley said the program “generated very significant goodwill towards the United States” and countered “the spread of radical Islam or radical anti-Western attitudes in sub-Saharan Africa.”

Plumley also noted that most HIV transmissions in sub-Saharan Africa are heterosexual, meaning that conservative Republicans could support PEPFAR without worrying about seeming too overtly supportive of the LGBTQ+ community.
