Warning: death
In Oklahoma, a non-binary high schooler was severely beaten and died from their injuries. Their name was Nex Benedict. It was a failure from multiple points: the bullies, their parents, the school not seeking treatment for the student, and the state school superintendent for encouraging hate toward LGBTQIA+ individuals.
As a parent in the state, and a parent to multiple kids that identify as lgbtqia+, the very real fear that these things will happen to my own family (and extended to orher kids i care for) because this use of hateful rhetoric is, in a large part, the most useless thing only designed to gain favor from undereducated individuals in a desperate bid for tiny amounts of power.
There is no freedom while hating people that don't prescribe to your own religious or other systems of belief. Seeing this entire country slide backward, i'd say by now we are looking at a loss of 40 or more years of progress, depending on which rights you examine. Why is this being allowed to happen?
I am ready for the majority in America, who doesn't want to impose limits on other people's freedom, to change the trajectory of this country. In the meantime, I will do what i can to make that change, butI will continue to look at houses in other countries, because what can i do in the end but protect my own people?
Sign a petition to get the Oklahoman school superintendent, who has gone out of his way to harm lgbtqia+ teachers and students, all in a bid to make a name for himself amongst right wing fuckheads, removed.

Hey, can we talk about the violence against queer natives for a second?
Nex Benedict was a 16 year old nonbinary student who was brutally murdered by three of their female classmates. Not only that, they were a Native American living on a Cherokee reservation, though not enrolled in the tribe, and their actual heritage is that of Choctaw.
Their death was not properly reported on until the blog post that genderkoolaid shared was made. Their nonbinary identity had remained unacknowledged, and it took even longer for their native one to be.
They were a victim of the rising anti-trans rhetoric spreading throughout places like the US. They were beaten in a bathroom after Oklahoma had banned trans people from restrooms, designating them to only use that of their assigned sex. Nex was attacked in the girls bathroom.
A native, two-sprit, nonbinary teenager. Whose identity and the actual circumstances behind the incident, a hate crime, wasn't even published beforehand. They died tragically, a death that could've been easily prevented.
Do you know how scary that is? I'm just like them. A native, two-spirit, nonbinary teenager. I have to keep on hearing stories of people my age, who live in the same country, who share my identity, getting murdered. Not even just murdered, but erased.
I know for an absolute fact that if I died tragically, who I am will not be remembered. My deadname will be on everything. I would not be counted in trans statistics, nonetheless statistics on transmascs. My identity would not be respected. My native heritage wouldn't matter. I didn't get to be enrolled. And Nex had supportive family and friends, people who stood up for them. Not all trans kids get to have that.
I've had to think about this before many times. From the other trans youth deaths I've seen. From nearly becoming one of them. When is it enough? Why do the people in power do nothing to stop kids like me from being killed? Why do they only want to make our lives worse?
I'm very lucky to live in a state that has not wavered on it's protections on LGBTQ+ residents. Though I am reminded often that that can easily change, if things keep going like this.
I could've easily been them. I can still easily be them. There are many other kids who can be them. Everyone should be doing more to protect trans youth, and protect queer natives. We're so often forgotten about. I'm part of small tribes, and tribes who barely even exist anymore. My elders desperately trying to keep it alive. Please do not erase us. I'm queer, I'm native. Nex Benedict should have been protected, youth like me should be protected. I wish the best for their family and I hope their memory is never forgotten.
Rashida Tlaib has set up a petition to send to the White House to recognize and stop the ethnic cleansing and forced displacement happening in Gaza. If you’re a US citizen please sign. I have no illusions that this will change policy, but the public outcry against their actions must continue. We will not be distracted or discouraged from continuing to object to these humans rights violations.
it’s for you!

Random little observation on Welcome Home (I'm addicted I keep checking and re-checking the website WIDEFUJENADSJIFFU)
basically the usual, but all of the cookies are looking forwards (ish) but Wally (even in cookie form) is still looking at us
ALSO LMAO LOOK AT HIS HAIR WJEIDFSNHOREUU IT LOOKS SO SILLY IM DYING
(Please excuse me if this is nothing.. this is my first time posting for my newest ultra high power hyper fixation :)
Uhm so I was looking over the Welcome Home website for the like... third time since the update came out and I saw something strange
I (at first) thought it was morse code, but I put it in a translator and it was just missing text (It says Vibrant World, btw). Does anyone know if this is anything worth looking further into? It feels weird that that (ew English why did you make me type that) is the only part missing- and not even 100% gone?? I know Clown put out a TW for unreality and derealization.. maybe thats why? Idk, this is just a random observation I wanted to share @:]
