Hello tumblr! I am looking to connect with other history buffs and teachers as I decorate my first ever classroom! I am teaching AP Human Geo and World History I (pre-history to the Renaissance) and I really want to push perspective and representation in my decor. I have some general content poster idras, but I'd love some recommendations!

Teachers with Pride Still Have to Hide
Gay schoolteachers wearing masks at parade, June 28, 1986
In this image, Seattle schoolteachers participating in the Gay Freedom Day parade through the Capitol Hill neighborhood hold a banner reading "Teachers with Pride Still Have to Hide," and wear masks to protest the discrimination they have felt. An estimated 10,000 people participated in the event, which is part of Seattle's annual Gay Pride Week.

omg soldier, poet, king is NOT a Christian worship song
folks on tiktok being like YALL DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS ABOUT JESUS??? and "better take it off my dnd playlist now!!!"
it's not about jesus holy fuck, i mean, it is, but it isn't.
Dear Wormwood is a concept album that uses biblical symbolism to talk about an abusive relationship. The Oh Hellos have a whole ass THING about retelling stories (biblical, mythological etc) to use to deal with your own story which is like...a whole thing in storytelling anyway (the new testament is a monomyth yall, Hero's Journey 1.0, in that regard everything is biblical)
Dear Wormwood is put in the context of someone writing letters (inspired by The Screwtape Letters, CS Lewis) to their abuser. "Soldier, Poet, King" is from the perspective of the protagonist, on the receiving end of the abuse, who (after the song "Exeunt") is escaping from the abuse and attempting to continue their life outside of it. The person who is the soldier, poet, king, is the protagonist. "your city" is the abusive relationship. "Wormwood" is the devil of this person's life.
If you look on Genius, yeah the story is about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. In context? It's about the Second Coming of the protagonist. The rebirth they get after escaping.
The ending song of the album, "Thus Always to Tyrants", the last line of the album is
Where I go, will you still follow? Will you leave your shaded hollow? Will you greet the daylight looming? Learn to love without consuming?
The protagonist is attempting to mentally escape from the abuse, worried about carrying the trauma into the next relationship.
Soldier Poet King is not about Jesus. It's about fighting. It's about escaping the cycle of abuse. It's about the power that resides in stories, about people who have experienced this before and succeeded. It's about using those stories and learning from them.
Keep the shit on your dnd playlist, it's sort of the whole point.

Back-to-school tips for LGBTQ+ youth from a QUEER TEACHER!
It's that season, y'all! 🍎✏️ So we asked queer 8th grade English teacher Sarah from Memphis, TN what tips she would share with LGBTQ+ youth going back to school:
Look for supportive adults.
Is there a teacher always sporting a pride pin? Are there safe space posters hung up in their classroom or pride flags displayed? These are strong indicators that adult will affirm and uplift your identity. If you are unsure but want to test the waters, ask an adult what their pronouns are. Judging by their response and if they return the question, something small like this can help you determine if they are a safe person. 
Find a queer-affirming club(s) at your school. 
Does your school have a GSA or diversity club? Consider joining to build a supportive community and form connections with people you can relate to. If your school does not have a pre-existing club, consider finding an adult advisor to help and start your own GSA. Find more tips on how to do so here: https://gsanetwork.org/resources/10-steps-for-starting-a-gsa/
Trust your gut.
If you don’t feel safe in a situation, trust your instincts. If possible, remove yourself from the environment and ask for help; know that it’s ok to not share your identity with everyone, especially if you feel they are not a safe person. Conversely, if someone does make you feel safe and loved, believe that feeling too. You are in charge of who gets to know you.
Check out YA books exploring queer identities.
An amazing way to learn more about queer experiences is to read about them. There are countless young adult novels and graphic novels that can help you better understand yourself and others. Titles like The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School by Sonora Reyes, Taproot by Keezy Young, Out of Character by Jenna Miller, and Mooncakes by Wendy Xu and Suzanne Walker are all great stories to explore. For a more comprehensive list of LGBTQ+ YA books, visit https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/15/books/review/lgbtq-ya-books-authors.html
Seek social support.
What would life be like without friends? Although you may not click with everyone at your school, you are not alone. LGBTQ+ people are everywhere, even if it’s hard to see sometimes. Find friends who support your identity or are a part of the community as well! 
Remember! You have every right to be exactly who you are.
You are the only person who can define your identity. The terms you use to refer to yourself can evolve over time, or can remain the same, but as long as it feels right to you that’s perfect. Believe yourself, and do not doubt your worth. Growing up is a difficult process but remember, it gets better. 
Read it on the blog itgetsbetter.org too!

If I had a nickel for every time two very gay-seeming male teachers took a bunch of school kids on a Europe trip and became one of the best ships in that piece of media I'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

The one from heartstopper is canon they are a couple, the one from far from home is a ship that probably only exists in my own head.

James Lance + 🏳‍🌈
"As far as I know, as far as I'm aware. I'm not a gay man. I went to see Brokeback Mountain and by the time those two cowboys got it on in that tent… I was there with them. I was 100% there with them. And I mean… there was three of us in that tent. And I found it, I found it so sexy that I was like "Jeez, like, let me think about it. Am… am I a cowboy?" You know. "Am… am… am I gay? I don't think I am. I don't think so."" - James Lance Films To Be Buried With

I decided to go through my old warm-up notebooks from my honours english class and in one of the warm-up prompts, I said I wanted my superpower to be "controlling the effects of [my] puberty," and I'm glad to say that I've gotten that superpower. It took a very long time, but that's a superpower I can check off my list

Well this is just fucked up.
Tumblr media
Resigned just because they allowed trans women to play volleyball? For actually supporting the LGBTQ+ community? What kind of country is this?

I need to clarify certain things:
WayBabe's relationship was started with a lie 'cause Way had never planned to be babe's "friend", he came in with the intent to R word him.
VS
CharlieBabe's relationship didn't start with a lie 'cause falling for each other was never a part of the plan, Charlie didn't come in with the plan of making babe fall for him. His lied about other things but never about his emotions, never about the care and affection, never about the love.
Charlie didn't "manipulate" or "gaslight" babe. Manipulation is controlling the truth, twisting the narrative whereas Gaslighting is making people believe the lie is the truth. Charlie simply lied. He lied about his identity and the reason he came in. He told Babe, he is a normal guy wanting a car, whereas he was there to save him from something disastrous and was Tony's adoptive child. Secondly, Charlie in ep 5 didn't "lie" about the powers. He obviously didn't tell what actually happened, obviously. But he didn't lie, he rather gave an excuse. He said "maybe if you recover, the powers will come back". Lieing is not telling the truth but there Charlie hid it.
