This is probably what I’m wearing to my brother’s wedding. I was gonna go with suspenders but I feel like the vest with the belt looks better.

Sylvia Rivera (2 July 1951 – 19 February 2002) was an American transgender activist of Puerto Rican and Venezuelan decent. Rivera was a founding member of the Gay Liberation Front and the Gay Activists Alliance, and also helped found STAR (Street Transgender Action Revolutionaries), a group dedicated to helping young homeless trans women.
Rivera was a true revolutionary and one badass lady.

(HC) Dù bạn chấp nhận hay không thì cộng đồng ấy vẫn mặc nhiên tồn tại cùng với tình yêu của họ như một chân lý, không thể khác. Và một khi bạn kỳ thị sự khác biệt so với bản thân mình thì tự thân bạn đã hèn kém hơn họ rồi. Phải vậy không?

Kit Yan is award-winning Queer and Trans Asian American Slam Poet. He is the third person to share his TALK ABOUT IT video with us, addressing his experiences with adult depression and what he does to push through.
OP asked Kit why he decided to make a video for the TALK ABOUT IT video project.
Kit Yan: The short answer is — I was asked. I can’t say that I would have done this without watching Amos and Rocco’s video and then being directly asked to talk about queer and trans adult suicide and depression. It hurt to make this video. And as a trans person of color from Hawaii, telling doesn’t always come to me. I feel like I don’t have the right language, or the right, or I am tired of talking. And even after I saw the initial video, I didn’t feel strong enough to make my own. But then Michelle Tea whom I respect and love so much sent an email asking as well and said she recorded one too and then I felt a little more capable. I’m gonna work on asking people, if it feels like an ok thing to do, what’s going on in their hearts, in hopes that I can pass on this feeling that someone cares enough to ask and hear.
signal boost: this queer needs a room in philadelphia
does anyone have an extra room available or need an awesome queer roomie in philadelphia
i’m a mad chill 21 year old queerio who is looking for housing in philly until next summer (possibly longer - my schedule next year is flexible and movable if it needs to be) and trying to move in asap
perks i will bring to the table:
- reliable and responsible and down to be a shoulder to cry on / emotional eating buddy / late night tv watcher / self care outfit assemblage aide
- 420 friendly (as in i’m totally down with you smoking but usually don’t myself), i do drink but not copious amounts because my kidneys are :( :( my idea of a good night is watching paris is burning with my favorite people and drinking shitty wine and then maybe taking pictures of ourselves in glittery costumes
- i love baking and bake constantly and if you like cupcakes of every variety and experimenting with cupcake flavors you have come to the right roommate
- i have every season of the x-files on dvd
- i am down with pretty much everything you could possibly be and feel and do with the exception of douchebaggery
looking for safe roommates who are down with a masculine-presenting dyke with girlfriend visitations who sometimes has anxiety and PTSD-related shit (which at the most will be me maybe not coming out of my room for a while, but that’ll be the most it impacts anyone). it’s really important to me that i’m in a safe environment because environment is everything to me and my health and i’ll do best in a place where i know everyone is cool with everything
if you want to get to know me better / check out my life story and views on this and that, my tumblr is a good place to start. you can also email me at kateseverance@gmail.com if you think that i might be a good fit for you :) signal boost me if you’re not available but might know someone or be followed by someone who could help! queers gotta stick together ;)
