I went to my favorite yearly Pride event today. There are a lot of really scary things happening in this country right now (most of which I’m relatively safe from for the time being, but that doesn’t make them any less scary) and it felt really fucking good to be surrounded by community. It felt even better than usual, actually. I also loved how many times I saw “Fuck ICE” and “Free Palestine” written on various surfaces. Stay vigilant, but I hope you find as many little pockets of joy as you can, and that you feel safe enjoying them. 💖
Here are some really cool organizations I talked to today:
Artists Revolt is a collection of artists & sex workers who advocate & raises funds for the most marginalized members of their communities.
Latino Equality Alliance provides community & support for LGBTQ+ folks within the Latine/x diaspora.
Queers For Palestine organizes group action & raises funds to end the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
Happy Pride, keep rioting 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏴☠️
