Seeing people consume it one way or another just wasn’t a thing in my family and community, so I wanted to learn and share information of this familiar plant to you all.

whenever i see parents walking with their baby andtheyve got their baby between them i get so emotional im not describing it well but like this

i ran out of space for the other one so theyve only got 1.5 parents but its fine

my parents used to do this to me when i was little – they’re both pretty tall, so they could easily swing me between them. my mom told me last week that once, after a pretty hefty snowfall, they were walking somewhere with me swinging me back and forth, as usual. because it was cold out i was wearing gloves, so on a pretty hard forward swing, i slip out of my gloves, flying through the air. i landed in a pile of snow

people saw. my mom still feels bad for laughing

wouldn’t it be cool if sylvia rivera or marsha p. johnson were still alive and you could see what kind of activism they were doing now, and support it, and follow them on social media?

“It sure would!”

Gosh, imaginary reader, I agree! And you know what?

MISS MAJOR IS *ALSO* A TRANS WOMAN OF COLOR WHO WAS AT STONEWALL, AND SHE’S STILL ALIVE AND AMAZING AND I ALMOST NEVER SEE ANYBODY MENTION HER

And yes, that’s her Instagram, @missmajor1. And yes, you can look her up on Facebook under Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, and she even follows back 😮

Looks like she’s even on Twitter, @immissmajor.

From missmajor.net:

“Miss Major is a veteran of the Stonewall Rebellion and a survivor of Attica State Prison, a former sex worker, an elder, and a community leader and human rights activist.

Miss Major’s personal story and activism for transgender civil rights intersects LGBT struggles for justice and equality from the 1960s to today. At the center of her activism is her fierce advocacy for her girls, trans women of color who have survived police brutality and incarceration in men’s jails and prisons.

Miss Major is formerly the long-time executive director of the San Francisco-based Transgender Gender-Variant Intersex Justice Project (TGIJP), which advocates for trans women of color in and outside of prison. She is also the subject of a new documentary feature film currently showing around the country, MAJOR!”

She even has a GoFundMe, where people make one-time or recurring monthly donations to support this activist legend through her retirement:

Since June and Pride commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, I thought it’d be a good time to boost her story. Happy Pride! 💖💜💙

Boost boost.

Important- the gofundme isn’t active anymore. Instead, she has a fundly where donation is possible.
