This is such a small step but seeing it in the store today honestly made my day. We still have a long way to go but these little things make me smile.

I NEED THIS OMG

Whoa there! This is an area I am WEIRDLY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT. You want to know where to buy them? LET ME RECOMMEND YOU SOME.

I work at a greeting card shop, a mom-and-pop (but really single mom shop) kind of place and I have to add to this! 

Companies have just started to make wedding cards featuring same-sex couples in the last two years. This year for the first time a major distributor made same sex Valentines Day cards! I was over the moon!  

This is from Papyrus! They are a great card company that you can get at loads of stores like Target. 

BUT THEIR WEDDING ONES ARE BRAND NEW AND AWESOME. 

See that matching set of ties? That was our best selling wedding card about four to six months after marriage equality became legal in our state! Do you know how many nervous old women I had to help pick out a same-sex card? LIKE SO MANY. 

I had a man in his 90′s who was super nervous even ask me (quote), “I don’t mean to be offensive I just don’t know the word for a girl who likes girls and I don’t know what card to get my great niece.” And I was like, “The word is lesbian, you aren’t being at all offensive, and this card here will be perfect.” BEST DAY OF MY WORKING LIFE OKAY. 

Meri-Meri cards also have great same sex cards!! The Mr. and Mr. banner is also one of our best selling wedding cards! 

BUT HOLD THE FUCK UP.

BECAUSE LET’S TALK ABOUT ANOTHER CUSTOM CARD SHOP LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY FROM US.

Ladyfingers Letterpress!! Run by a woke as fuck lesbian couple!! 

You want a card for a transgender family member? FUCK YEAH YOU DO. 

You want a polygamous/bisexual inclusive card? HELL YES. 

You want to remind your family that you are the GAY COUSIN??? 

DON’T SUBSCRIBE TO ANY GENDER? ANY SEXUALITY? STILL QUESTIONING? LOOK AT THIS. 

FUCK YEAH INCLUSIVE GREETING CARDS.

NOW YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND THEM AND WHAT COMPANIES TO SUPPORT. 

See, we hate ads, but shit like this, where people get excited over things we would actually be interested in? 34,000 notes. I love our generation.  Thank you for the info!

I’ve had this blog for 6 years now but today I’m breaking my anonymity to ask for your help.

Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico on Wednesday (September 20th) and my family has not heard from my grandmother since. She lives in Fajardo, a town on the east coast where the Hurricane first hit, causing a storm surge up to 9 feet.

My abuela has diabetes and systolic heart failure (her heart is working at 50% capacity). It’s important that she takes her meds daily but we currently don’t know if she has access to it. 

The power is down and cell phone towers are destroyed. There is no means of communication. The only news we have from Fajardo are pictures that offer us no consolation.  

These are the images coming from my town in Puerto Rico:

My mother and I are trying to fly to Puerto Rico as soon as possible but most of the airport is flooded and American Airline (the only airline offering flights to Puerto Rico) is charging over $1,000 one-way per person. 

We’re not asking for much, just the bare minimum we need to fly to Puerto Rico and check on my grandmother. If money permits, we will also buy a generator to ensure she has access to electricity in order to cook and recover.

ok so this is something everyone on tumblr should know

imagine dragons was hired to write demo tracks for spiderman turn off the dark (aka the spiderman musical on broadway) in order to get people to invest in it and have enough money to hire someone more famous to write the musical

then the people who hired them thought, “hey, these are actually good songs we should make a cd of them and sell it”

so imagine dragons changed the words a little so they weren’t about spiderman and became famous

radioactive was originally about THE RADIOACTIVE SPIDER THAT BIT SPIDERMAN

you know I read this and thought “bullshit there’s no way that’s true” but apparently it is
