So today I went to the straight pride event in Boston. I spent a lot of my time handing out water and snacks to counter protesters.

During this time counter protesters were arrested, people were pepper sprayed, a friend of mine had a police bike slammed into her throat twice.

A Trump supporter stalked someone through the crowd and grabbed someone and started a physical altercation.

A cop at one point shook his pepper spray in my face. It wasn't until I pulled out my phone that he walked away.

At another instance a cop stood in front of me with his hand on his gun.

When the protest ended the cops pushed us away from the straight pride people using force. They used a barricade of their bikes. I was chatting with my friend collecting water when suddenly I heard screams, people running, and I felt pepper spray sprinkle my face. People were being carried away from the police to have milk poured in their eyes. At least 5 people were sprayed in that instance. Eventually someone was hit by a police motorcycle. At some point a tourist group got hit by pepper spray getting a child. A child was pepper sprayed.

All of this happened across the street from the Holocaust Memorial and along the freedom trail.

so women are supposed to grin and bear the books, the comics, the movies, the plays, the tv shows, the stories, the sci-fi, the translated ancient poems, the fucking millennia of men writing about their self inserts torturing women and it being declared as High Art by other men, we’re supposed to read it in our free time, study it in classrooms, include their styles in our own writing, accept their cultural influence as natural, watch it in the cinema, write about it, talk about it, accept it, aspire it, but men can’t tolerate three seconds of female wish fulfilment of a woman snapping the wrist of a creep without feeling personally kicked in the balls.

GUYSSSSSSSS...

I’M YOUNG UHURA, I AM SHAMELESSLY MY OWN HEADCANON FOR TEEN NYOTA UHURA, I MEAN C’MON:

AND THEN:

I EVEN HAVE MY OWN HOMEMADE LENS FLARE.

THIS IS IT. I’VE FOUND MY CALLING, NOW ALL I NEED IS FOR THERE TO BE A TEEN UHURA IN THE NEXT STAR TREK FILM. 

IT’S NOT JUST ME RIGHT, OTHER PEOPLE CAN SEE THIS TOO?

now remind me why i didn’t go to comic con again?

A Star Trek idea: A comedy sitcom where instead of a Vulcan on a mostly human ship it is a human on a mostly Vulcan ship

So I found a site that does a subscription box for your period- it sends you basics like hygiene products, pain medication as well as snacks and pampering stuff to make you feel good, 

but the best thing is they have a specialty boxes, like vegan or kosher only snacks but also 

they specifically offer boxes for menstruating guys and nb folks. 

which is pretty darn cool.

it’s called bonjourjolie and I think it’s 1000% awesome tbh 

Trying to get friends into Star Trek is just, constantly apologising for how bad it is at first but like honestly, once the stockholm syndrome sets in it's actually a really good series I promise

To all the lesbians who gave their first kiss to a boy.

To all the lesbians who aren't "golden star lesbians".

To all the lesbians that had to deal with compulsory heterosexuality.

To all the lesbians who felt pressured by society to be with boys.

To all the lesbians who had a really tough time coming to terms with their identity.

To all the lesbians who put up with any kind of lesbophobia on the daily.

To all the lesbians who have to listen to guys their age sexualizing gay girls.

You are walking through hell with your chin up and I am so proud of you. I love you and you're valid.

there really is no way to describe that Gay Sadness™ when you hear your family being homo/transphobic

can't wait until i have a wife so i can say "i love my wife" and introduce her to people by saying "i'd like you to meet my wife" and get out of boring social engagements by saying "i have to go home to my wife" and talk about her to anyone who will listen to me because she's my wife and i adore her

You guys asked for a sapphic Vine compilation so I'm delivering it to you

Message to all parents:

- Not taking your child’s injuries seriously when they’re younger, may make them feel like they can’t tell you anything when they’re older. - PLEASE let your kid take personal days once in awhile once they reach highschool. - Grades are NOT everything. You can get plenty of well paying jobs now without having to go to college. - Really strict parenting leads to sneaky kids. Trust me. - Let them be who they want. They can’t change who they are, whether it is sexual orientation, gender identity or anything else. They need someone to support them. - ^ Never say “you’re too young to know” - ¼ teenagers deal with a mental illness of some sort (in the U.S). Please make sure they’re okay. - You can’t MAKE them chose an educational field. - Even an A+ student who’s a star athlete can be suicidal. - MENTAL HEALTH COMES FIRST - Self harm is more common than you think amongst teenagers. It’s also not always cutting (or on wrists). Be aware. - Sex ed. doesn’t teach them anything. - Tattoos and piercing aren’t “unprofessional” anymore - If they have depression, please DO NOT call them lazy. It’s almost the worst insult you could say. - If their grades are dropping for no reason, ask about it. Don’t assume things. - Most teenagers don’t have high self esteem. Don’t make it worse. - School is much harder now than it ever has been before. - Not everyone on the internet is a predator - It’s normal to have internet friends now - Take them seriously

This is one of the thai restaurants in my hometown and i can tell you first hand this lady is wonderful

shoutout to all the straight girls out there who ask their lesbian/bi/pan girl friends about their crushes and their girlfriends the same as they would ask about their straight friends crushes and boyfriends. i don't think y'all realise how much that means to us

I like the word gay. But I like “lesbian” better.

I like it because of Sappho of Lesbos, a lesbian and a Lesbian whose memory reminds us that women who loved women existed long before any time on earth that any living person can remember.

I like it because of Sappho’s poetry, the sweet prose she wrote for the goddess Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Aphrodite has her counterpart in the Roman goddess Venus, whose symbol has evolved to represent the woman, the female, the feminine.

I like it because of its culture and history. Butch, fem, stud, dyke. Bars where women drink and dance and laugh and kiss other women. Boston marriages. Women’s colleges. They wanted Ellen to get a puppy but she wanted to kiss a lady.

It hasn’t all been pretty. This word has been taken from us, made into a fetish, a porn category, fuel for men’s libidos. Hysterical. Asocial. Deviants. Lesbians.

But that makes me love it all the more—to spite them, to spite the men who salivate over us, to spite the churches that rally against us, to spite it all. But I wear this badge for more than just spite. I wear it for love. Love for women, love for our history, love for love for… lesbian.

It’s not a dirty word. It’s beautiful, and I am proud to call myself a lesbian.

It’s going to be okay. Today may be the worst day of your life - but tomorrow won’t be. Life is a series of ups and downs, and that means there’s going to be good and bad. Drink some water, let yourself cry if you need to, and get a good night’s sleep. You’ll feel better in the morning. 

This message is for anyone scrolling through tumblr right now feeling that uncomfortable settling in your stomach and chest.

It's heavy and impulsive. It runs down your arms and into your hands. It tingles and it feels so scary.

Tears forming in your eyes for no real reason.

You feel empty inside, maybe. Hollow because of the quiet of the night or simply the quiet in your mind.

You are not alone.

Be at ease, my friend.

I love you. I am proud of you. I'm happy you're alive and here to read this message from me. You mean so much to so many people. I just wanted to make sure you know.

Take a deep breath. Drink lots of water and get plenty of rest. Maybe eat something if you haven't recently and take in some sunshine, if you can.

I believe in you.

❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Lets talk about how hard it is to open up to someone about being sad for no reason. Lets talk about how hard it is to explain to your friends and family that you have this heavy feeling in your chest for no reason. Lets talk about how hard it is to understand why you’re having a panic attack while just taking a walk back home. Lets talk about how hard it is to understand your own self and how scary it is to feel like the whole world is falling on your shoulders and you have no idea why .

you ever wanna just live with your girlfriend in a nice suburban cottage that feels rustic and homely.

flowers of all colors in the front, flower boxes in the windows, and fairylights on it all year long.

with a nice cobblestone path leading up to it, a body of water nearby, and plenty of green scenery around, all kinds of animals living nearby.

the walls inside are decorated with a bunch of pictures and memories of eachother, and you snuggle up with a woolen blanket together on a fuzzy couch.
