Hey all you lovely people! This is the first video in a ten part docu-series telling the stories of youth at The Attic. The first video is my story around gender and identity, featuring pandas!!! If you love it, “like” it, and if you like it, share it!
<3
Hey tumblies! I know I’ve been gone for a long-ass time, and that’s because I’ve been working on this video for the Attic Youth Center!
The Attic Youth Center is the only youth center in Philadelphia that exclusively serves LGBTQ+ youth, ages 14-23. I’ve been going there since 2011 to help out with their events, participate in leadership development groups, receive counseling support, and give back to the queer youth of Philly.
The Attic is currently in its 20th year of operation and we really need more funding to continue providing services and resources to the local youth. As a non-profit organization, we do not receive federal funding and rely on donors. If you could please share this video, either here and/or elsewhere on the Internet, just to get the word out about the Attic, I personally would deeply appreciate it.
Thanks!!!
everyone needs to reblog this so it might appear on someone’s dash and help them
Sorry for the color but I need to reblog this because I know it’s helped me and I want to help someone else.

when you walk away
you don’t hear me say
“hey look out there’s a door there”
I guess I could say that the glass was simple and clean.

wow
How did they get away with that
AH
I LOVE THIS
What do you mean how did they get away with it?
History isn’t one straight line progressing towards a liberal society.
Look how much Americans attitudes have changed between 1980 and today. 1980 was the first time most very religious people voted, they abstained before that at the behest of their churches. Now they dictate policy at every election.
In my family photo album there are pictures from the 20s of a woman called ‘uncle bob’. She dressed in men’s clothing, and had a ‘companion’. This was a rough industrial town, they were working class, nobody cared. It was her business.
This is why politics is important - the moment you think everything is better today than it was in the past, you let other people take control of the direction society goes in - with you sitting back presuming we’re going forwards.

Exactly.
Imagine a wall full of circular holes, that circles can keep walking in and out of with no difficulty.
Now imagine that the triangles manage to get the resources together, after years of not being able to fit through the circle’s holes, to drill a single triangle space into the wall.
Now imagine that the circle — who previously supported the triangle’s efforts because they are well-rounded (har) and value equality — comes along and sees the construction project. But instead of being happy, they get angry.
“Well, I won’t be able to fit through your hole!!!!” the circle cries.
“I helped you get the drill!!!!” the circle shrieks.
“Make it fit me too!!!!” the circle demands.
The triangles, barely holding it together enough to get a triangle hole together, stare at the circle in confusion.
“You have all the holes you need,” the triangles explain. “This is for us. You don’t need to fit through our hole, too.”
“YOU’RE BEING UNEQUAL AND HURTING MY FEELINGS!” the circle wails. “I DON’T SUPPORT YOUR HOLE IF IT DOESN’T FIT ME TOO. GIVE ME MY DRILL BACK.”
“It’s not your drill, it’s our drill. You helped us get it, because you said you cared.”
“I ONLY CARED WHEN I THOUGHT YOU’D MAKE A HOLE EVERYONE COULD FIT THROUGH. YOU’RE PERPETUATING INEQUALITY!!!”
“Why is it up to us, the small group that has never been able to fit through the wall at all, to make a hole everyone can use? Why isn’t it up to you, the people who have been able to cross back and forth at will for years? We just want to see the other side; why are you yelling at us?”
“I DIDN’T ASK TO BE BORN A CIRCLE, OMG. I’VE HAD TO WORK HARD ALL MY LIFE TOO. YOU’RE JUST BEING BIGOTED AGAINST ME BECAUSE OF SOMETHING I CAN’T CONTROL, JUST LIKE EVERYONE IS AGAINST YOU.”
“You are interfering with our project and asking us to comfort you while we’re trying to make progress. Please leave.”
“I’m going to tell everyone about this,” the circle warns. “Nobody will support you now.”
“Apparently nobody ever did,” the triangles sigh, getting back to work.
It’s kind of sad
That we have to draw comics using colorful shapes
To explain systematic inequality to people
This isn’t specific to gender, but yeah.. relevant.
