Duskypines - Here Be Gayliens

Fun fact Friday

You can often see the glow of a Téoloni’s nia shimmer across their skin right before they use or expel it.

For example, in a dark room, if someone were to gather their own nia onto their palm you’d see some of it traveling through their arm, temporarily giving their skin a starry effect.

Today 40 Palestinians died in an Israeli shelling of homes in central Gaza, while more than 100 were severely injured (majority women and children). Yesterday Israel bombed Syria, killing two. Israel also bombed Lebanon, killing a woman and a girl.

Just to be crystal clear—Israel is now simultaneously bombing Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria.

The idea of KOSA being passed has really been fucking with my mind lately, and I just feel really pessimistic about the whole thing but one thing is for certain,

I wont loose my safe space and voice without giving one hell of a fight!

Here is the link to sign the petition to end KOSA. Please sign it. For the safety of LGBT teens. For anyone who isn’t safe. Sign this. Please.

KOSA UPDATE:

The bill now has a total of 62 co-sponsors (Dems and Republicans). They purportedly rewrote the bill to "address concerns", but the bill would still require you to upload your govt ID and use an age-gate in order to access information on the web.

LGBT+ advocacy organizations such as the Trevor Project, GLAAD, Human Rights Campaign, PFLAG National, National Center for Lesbian Rights, and National Center for Transgender Rights, withdrawn their opposition against the bill.

We have until next week (2/26/24), maybe, to get louder about this.
