To anyone wondering if it's worth it to tear down fascist posters or whatever. I spent a few months last year engaged in silent battle with another student at my school who was putting anti trans stickers up everywhere. I had it down to a system where every night I would walk the five block radius they went up in, and tear down all the ones I could reach, and use a stick to put duct tape over the others. Like, within hours of the stickers going up, I would have already purged the whole zone. I knew the basic schedule of whoever put them up based on when and where the stickers appeared. I probably could have found them in person if I'd wanted to. And I told all my classmates and friends what the stickers looked like and got them to rip them down too. And after a few months of this, the stickers slowed, and then stopped forever. source

I have a client who was diagnosed with literal LIVER CANCER, aka one of the deadliest, and normally so hard to treat. Famously killed David Bowie and Alan Rickman both.
He was given MONTHS to live, but then ended up being one of the first people in the state to get a state of the art infusion therapy for his cancer.
It’s been over a year, and his tumors have shrunk so much they are no longer detectable.
That used to be UNHEARD OF.
Federal funding is the only reason that happened.
Like Jesus Christ.

We HAVE cured many cancers.
We haven't "cured cancer" because that's like saying we "cured viruses". It's extremely broad terminology. Not to mention that "cancer research" oftentimes also means basic cell biology research, which has ripple effects on the disease research as a whole. source

The organization platformed zionists, transphobes, and let cops and politicians who actively worked to reduce queer rights take part in pride.
Those who funds or supports any policies harming queer people anywhere don't belong at pride.
You don't get to wash your reputation using queer colors if you support harm against us.
No more toned down fake pride. source

Can you fucking declare war on Israel to stop the genocide?
Or send troops to protect the camps and civil infrastructure? source

Fathers play a crucial role in the lives of our children, but what does it mean to be a “GOOD FATHER?” What have we been taught about what it means to “BE A MAN” in our world? For those of us from the Latino & Chicano community, what did MANHOOD and FATHERHOOD look like growing up?
Answering these questions can be difficult, especially for those of us who didn’t have many positive examples in our own lives.
In our Liberating Brown Fatherhood workshop, we’ll unpack the lessons we learned growing up about what it means to be a father, and more generally, what it means to be a man. We’ll share our stories about our own experiences growing up and carve a path, for fathers and father figures alike, to raise the next generation of men who will move in truth, love, and a sense of pride in who they are. source
