Today marks the first day of Pride 2020.
It also marks the seventh day of protests held in honor of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. It’s been 634 days since Botham Jean was murdered by a police officer, 233 days since Atatiana Jefferson was fatally shot by a police officer, 2,123 days since Michael Brown was fatally shot by a police officer, and 2,146 days since Eric Garner was choked to death by a police officer.
It has been five days since Tony McDade, a Black trans man from Florida, was shot and killed by a police officer.
At the time of this post, it has been almost 19 hours since David McAtee was shot and killed by the authorities.
This week has served as a stark reminder that those who have power in this country wield it recklessly and violently against Black people, non-Black POC, and trans people. For some, the power is found in their badge. In others, it’s their skin tone, their socio-economic status, their cisgender privileges, or any other number of privileges one can have. In 2018, with at least 26 trans people who were murdered, all but one was a trans woman, and all but one was a person of color. According to data collected by Human Rights Campaign, this pattern is all too common. It should also be noted that the number of trans people who are murdered is grossly underreported, with many families and newspapers often misgendering those who can no longer speak up for themselves.
On June 28, 1969, the Stonewall riots began as a response to the constant police raids of nightlife establishments frequented by the LGBTQIA+ community. That night sparked a revolution, with many eye-witnesses crediting Black and Latinx trans women for being brave enough to ignite what would become one of the most pivotal nights in LGBTQIA+ history. Without Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, there would have been no uprising. Without them, there would be no Pride.
At this moment, it would be tone-deaf and insensitive to commemorate Pride in the same celebratory fashion we usually do. Instead, we’re asking you to make the commitment to better the lives of the oppressed. Do the work to become actively anti-racist if you are not Black. Spread the word that Black lives matter. Spread the word that trans people deserve to feel safe wherever they go. Reblog this post, make your own, or find someone in your life who doesn’t understand and do your best to make them understand. Donate if you can.
The first Pride was a riot. We stand with you.
ಥ_ಥ ಥ_ಥ ಥ_ಥ this is beautiful thank you
Hey I keep seeing your posts about who you would ship people with based on how they describe themselves and i would love to participate!!(for The Lost Boys pls) I'm 5'7, pale, hazel eyes and dirty blonde hair. I'm A ambiavert, hufflepuff that if your hurt my friends I will stab you, but would give someone the shirt off my back if they needed it. I also have an aesthetic that changes between looking like i walked off the set of fleetwood mac and grunge. Also non binary. thanks have a nice day😄😄
Hello, lovely!
That's great! Thank you so much for your ask! I'm so sorry that this took so long to complete! 🖤
I ship you with Dwayne!
I feel like you would both click due to your protective nature over the people who you care for.
Like Dwayne, you can be both quiet and loud; depending on the environment you’re in or the people you’re around.
I would definitely say that the both of you bring out different sides of each other; some days you just want to keep quiet, cuddle and watch films all day.
While other days you want to go out with the boys, ride on the bikes throughout the night and go around causing trouble.
If you’re both feeling opposite, you’d do a bit of mix and matching, just making it so it’s not too extreme on each sides; maybe go out for a burger and milkshake at an all-night restaurant, squeezing into a quiet booth.
I would gladly say that you both have similar aesthetics, especially when you’re feeling grunge-y.
Like have you seen this boy?!
He LOVES black and quite often is over the moon when your vibe matches.
Vibe check?
Perfection.
If you’re feeling more Fleetwood Mac-y, then he’s more than happy to match with putting in a coloured feathered earring instead of what looks like a fang.
Going shopping with Star when you’re feeling a more colourful vibe, LOVING to dress up and put on a show.
Fangirling with Dwayne over different styles when you’re in your grunge vibe; it’s great.
You two would certainly work very well together and continue to be fiercely protective over the people you love.
That includes each other.
So this is going to result in passionate and protective couple goals.
Like SERIOUS power radiating here.
I hope this is okay ❤

Warning! Kinky alien sex ahead.
King Midoryia sat at the head of the table in front of his most trusted soldiers. General Todoroki was directly to his right, they were discussing the plan for the next harvest. Lieutenant General Bakugo wasn’t listening, he didn’t need a plan laid out for him. He knew exactly how he was to handle taking this “Paris.” Seemed like a place full of fucking pussy’s, he thought. “Bakugo. Are you paying attention? The full scale harvest on Section 15 has upped the risk factor.” Shoto snapped at the Lieutenant. Bakugo slammed his fist down on the long table. “I get it! That’s why your dumbass got the surprise attack.” He grinned, his eyes burning with excitement. “Those half rate males won’t even know what hit them. We’ll be in and out of their in a few minutes.” He stood out of his chair. “Are we done here?”
