I love every single person who reblogged this

I don’t think people realize how much of an impact this kind of support can have, I don’t think everyone knows what these little things can mean to us.

It may just be me, I don’t know. But every single time I see this on my dash or on someone’s blog or anywhere else, I kind of just breathe a sigh of relief. That’s one more person who cares. That’s one more person who doesn’t hate me.

Because it means so much, especially when all the media is spewing out is that I’m a terrible person and no one wants people like me near them. It means so much because I’m tired of people who won’t sit next to me in class, or who choose to join the longer line at the grocery store because they don’t want to be beside me and my family. It means so much when I have to lift my head any time someone says the words Islam or Muslim because I’m scared that they’ll say something that’ll hurt, when I have to pay attention to the news because who knows what so and so is saying now, who knows which of my people are being attacked now, who knows what’s going to happen to me now.

It means so much because I’ve been given the idea that the world is against me. And a huge part of it may be, but at least I’ve been reminded that some of it, just a small group of people, acknowledges that I’m a person too. That people like me are just that, people.

Maybe it’s just me, I don’t know. But now you do, so thank you for believing that I’m human when so many people don’t.

Have a great day x

Go unfollow this blog all you want, I am reblogging this. 

I am aware this does not follow this blog’s style, however, I find it necessary to reblog this

Michelle really wasn’t fucking around look wise her last year in the White House

Y’ALL.

CALL YOUR REPS AND YOUR SENATORS. MAKE NOISE.

“Hi, I’m a constituent from [town], and I’m calling to urge [rep name] to oppose all attempts to defund Planned Parenthood.”

I want to tell you a thing about Planned Parenthood: Planned Parenthood is the reason a lot of people are alive. They offer medical services – anything from annual check ups to “i have a bladder infection” to “I need a prescription for antidepressants” – to people, and most of them have a sliding scale payment system that allows them to offer services to low-income people and people without insurance. 

That is why they receive federal funding at all – so that poor people who are sick can see a doctor. So that poor people who aren’t sick can receive preventative medical services. That is why they are subsidized by the federal government. Part of the government’s money goes to make up the difference between what poor people can pay for their medical treatment and what that treatment actually costs Planned Parenthood.

Regardless of where you stand on issues of abortion, you should know that they are already prevented from using federal subsidies to fund abortion services. So when conservatives talk about defunding Planned Parenthood and try to hide behind the excuse of “well I don’t want my tax money paying for abortions,” they are full of absolute shit. They are just trying to take away one of the few sources poor people have to stay healthy and treat their illnesses, and it’s not like they’re contributing to our GoFundMe’s when we end up in the emergency room because we couldn’t afford to receive preventative treatment. Fuck that shit.

Don’t stand for this.

Phone calls from constituents blocked the gutting of the congressional ethics office. Phone calls from constituents can block this, too. (You are still a constituent if you are represented by someone, whether you can vote yet or not; this is something teens can do.)

People in the US: get on your phone on Friday. Call your rep, regardless of party. If your rep is a Republican, especially call them. The call will take less than 5 minutes, unless the office is overwhelmed, in which case, stay on the line. Most offices only count you if you speak to someone.

This is way more effective than tweeting at them or making petitions or whatever! Boosting this!

do you ever just sit around and think I’m in my twenties.

Have you ever been able to literally feel yourself starting a new part of your life
