The Brentwood, Tennessee-based retailer, which sells products ranging from farming equipment to pet supplies, also said in a statement Thursday that it would withdraw from its carbon emission goals to instead “focus on our land and water conservation efforts.”

this is literally just how ppl treat nonbinary amabs
pronouns are dealer’s choice
so sorry for derailing. but i knew i recognized that face from somewhere.
"The Don't Say Gay Law has been cut down to size in more ways than this.
- LGBTQ+ students and staff may now be protected by anti-bullying and anti-discrimination measures
- Libraries are free to restock LGBTQ+ books
- LGBTQ+ topics may be discussed freely
GO CRY IN A CORNER RON
There are still real issues with this law like it still prohibits discussion of this stuff as part of classroom instruction but it’s a start

Death of nonbinary teen Nex Benedict after fight ruled a suicide, Oklahoma medical examiner says
So within two days of each other, Fox News writes an article comparing aromanticism and asexuality to pedophilia, and then Matt Walsh releases a video saying asexuality is a mental illness and asexuals are tricking teenagers into having depression.
Not sure what’s going on right now over in Conservative World, but it’s a hell of wild U-turn for them to suddenly switch from “Oh no! The left is sexualizing our children!” to “Oh no! The left is asexualizing our children!”
It’s a reminder, I guess, that they’re coming for all of us. The fash and the white supremacists will not make nice distinctions between the queers when they put us up against the wall. There is no gatekeeping, no label-policing, no purity-purging and no assimilation that any of us can do that will save us. They want us dead, and while they’ll start with whoever is most vulnerable at any given time, they’ll get around to all of us eventually.
Queer solidarity means all of us because the fash are coming for all of us.
All Dividers are Feds. Stand united or die separately.
ANYONE who is trying to divide our community is a fucking Fed. That includes other queers who like to argue about who is and isn’t “allowed” in our community.

fellas is it terrorism to be queer
I've been seeing a disturbing number of "queer safe spaces" describe themselves as things like "femme & them" and even worse "she+," conflating femininity & nonbinaryhood. cease this immediately. say it with me: nonbinary people are NOT women-lite and it is extremely violent and straight up incorrect to imply that all they/thems are fem adjacent. this is erasure and this verbiage does nothing but make gnc and nonbinary spaces unsafe for masc and male nonbinary people. nonbinary, genderqueer and other third gender people can be and are masculine and men, we can be hes as well as shes and theys, stop allowing yourself and your peers to view nonbinary as woman/femme-lite, signed a butch nonbinary person.
as a lot of folks in the tags have added, this implies the idea that women are wholesale safer for queer people to be around, which is not the case, as queer women are still capable of being transphobic, biphobic, lesbophobic and so on. the other side of this implication in this verbiage is men & mascs are inherently unsafe to be around, which is violent and untrue rhetoric.
queer men still need safe spaces. queer mascs still need safe spaces. cis gay men, trans men, intersex men, genderfluid men, nonbinary men, nonbinary mascs, bears, bi/pansexual men & mascs, male & masc drag performers, and other queer masculine people are still threatened and made unsafe by cisheterosexual society and need somewhere safe to be ourselves and to be queer.
men & mascs are not inherently unsafe to be around. women & femmes are not inherently safe to be around. women & femmes are capable of queerphobia and violence. queer men & mascs are capable of being abused, mistreated, hurt, abandoned and worse. queer men & mascs still need our help and support, and this goes quadruply for nonbinary men & mascs.
masculinity is not a threat. femininity is not "safer" than any other identity or presentation. make your safe spaces SAFE for ALL QUEERS, not just the ones you think are The Good Ones.
it's that time of year again! HAVE FUN

Princess Mononoke’s mother wolf Moro and Howl’s Moving Castle’s Witch of the Waste are both voiced by a famous singer and drag queen Akihiro Miwa.
Akihiro Miwa (born in 1935) is one of the most prominent queer icon in Japanese history, who survived the atomic bombing of Nagasaki (his hometown) during WW2.
This clip is from a document How Princess Mononoke Was Born (1998)
Now, more than ever, we stand. We are trans folks, we support trans folks, we remember our history and the people who fought before us. No one will ever stop us from telling our stories and living our lives.
seeing other queer people use words like "freak" and "degenerate" as insults is like one of the worst versions of the "it hurt itself in its confusion" meme
like, my buddy! my dude and/or not-dude! we are the freaks and degenerates! that's how society views us, and it's the side we should all want to be on!
nobody's going around handing out cookies to those of us that are the most morally pure, and trying to fit in isn't going to make them like us more! let yourself live a little, and enjoy things, and just...be weird. it's okay to be weird!
go love something strange, and be friends with odd people, and forget what normal is supposed to look like! find the part of yourself that feels anxious about being different, and tell it that it's going to be okay! and then join me at the weird kid table, because I brought pb&j to share, and I want to hear about whatever bizarre thing is rotating in your brain this week
That's not how demographics work.
It could be if we’re all brave enough
Reblog to turn everybody gay by 2047
“On a Friday night in February 1926, a crowd of some 1,500 packed the Renaissance Casino in New York City’s Harlem neighborhood for the 58th masquerade and civil ball of Hamilton Lodge.
Nearly half of those attending the event, reported the New York Age, appeared to be “men of the class generally known as ‘fairies,’ and many Bohemians from the Greenwich Village section who…in their gorgeous evening gowns, wigs and powdered faces were hard to distinguish from many of the women.”
The tradition of masquerade and civil balls, more commonly known as drag balls, had begun back in 1869 within Hamilton Lodge, a black fraternal organization in Harlem. By the mid-1920s, at the height of the Prohibition era, they were attracting as many as 7,000 people of various races and social classes—gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and straight alike.
Stonewall (1969) is often considered the beginning of forward progress in the gay rights movement. But more than 50 years earlier, Harlem’s famous drag balls were part of a flourishing, highly visible LGBTQ nightlife and culture that would be integrated into mainstream American life in a way that became unthinkable in later decades.”
