Money Is No Good When You Don’t Have Water To Drink Or Even Air To Breathe

Don’t you guys find it weird that Spock Prime actually is the Spock from the Original Series? 

 "I am not our father, Spock.“

 "Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving…”

“I have been and always shall be your friend… I am Spock”

I mean. He was talking to his character’s legit AU self.

Leonard Nimoy had adventures with William Shatner and now he’s in this other universe where Zach is playing as his character and Zach and Chris are all new to this Star Trek experience but he’s been in this for years now so friendship through acting man and

When Chris Pine said “You know, coming back in time, changing history… that’s cheating” do you think he ever reminisce all those years of acting in The Original Series when he said “A trick I learned from an old friend”

Or maybe he was thinking of all the times he spent onscreen and offscreen with Will when he said 

“I could not deprive you of the revelation of all that you could accomplish together, of a friendship that will define you both in ways you cannot yet realize.”

I mean that’s amazing, the whole interaction between Classic Trek Spock and AOS Crew, especially with Scott, Jim, and Spock. It makes it feel almost a little real. I don’t think I’d have liked the new movie at all if Spock Prime was acted by someone else.

hey not to be a killjoy but can y’all spread the carrd about what’s going on in Poland

obvious warning for homophobia, transphobia, etc. in the link above.

I was born there. I have countless of LGBT friends there, and the fact that this is happening in the year 2020 is inhumane and terrifying. 

If you’re Polish, vote in the upcoming election. If you’re not polish, please spread the carrd around.

I am not an ideology. Nie jestem ideologią. 

Remove the White Supremacists

Dear Tumblr @staff, 

In light of the recent white supremacist terror attacks worldwide: 

We, the Tumblr community (your community), implore you to change your previously passive policy against white supremacy and white nationalist extremist ideologies. 

Every major news station, social expert, and experts on extremist ideologies have identified that these extremist ideologies are spread and grown on online platforms: specifically social platforms. They have identified the major ways that communities can confront these violent extremist views; the biggest one being for social media groups to actually start removing user accounts that post and spread extremist white nationalist dog whistles, memes, and rhetoric.

Your users are begging for your help in stemming the rising tide of xenophobic violence. As has become evident by the recent terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, these ideologies don’t begin with violence, but with strategically spouted rhetoric and hate speech that riles up others who are vulnerable to being persuaded by their subtle methods. 

Please.  If you support the safety of your users.  If you support the Muslim Community. If you support the Jewish Community.  If you support People of Color.  If you support your users regardless of color or religious background. 

Then it’s time to start taking a proactive stance against extremist white supremacist and nationalist ideologies and remove them. 

The signatures and reblogs below should serve to show you how strongly your userbase feels about this. We all stand for a world without Hate. Do you?

Every single time I get a TERF in my inbox my alliance to the trans community becomes stronger

What Not To Wear: oh, you work outdoors and like to wear shorts and boots and flannel? Gross. You must wear Fashion now. Here’s a three-piece suit and some designer shoes.

Queer Eye: oh, you work outdoors and like to wear shorts and boots and flannel? You know, if you just try a different cut of jeans and get some clean new boots you can still look like a professional in your shorts and hiking shirts. Also let me recommend some breathable fabrics so you don’t stink as much when you get sweaty.

SPECTRA, an LGBTQIA app is live on Kickstarter!

SPECTRA, an LGBTQIA app is finally live on Kickstarter! But what is SPECTRA, exactly? SPECTRA is an app designed by members of the LGBTQIA community for the LGBTQIA community. At SPECTRA, we believe that our community deserves a Digital Home, a welcoming space to meet our needs in a non-judgmental environment. We exist to make you stronger. We are a network of businesses and people who get it.

So, what’s our mission? We plan to become an online resource center for our community, a space where your voice will not only be heard but where your voice will also help the members of our great family feel safe anywhere in the world. Here’s what we have in mind!

A Complete Resource Center For LGBTQIA People

SPECTRA is a movement emerging from a digital platform built for iOS, Android and the web. It is a network of LGBTQIA people and their allies fighting for a more inclusive future.

Because there are so many in our community that feel insecure and unsafe in unknown spaces. Because we found out that more than 70% of LGBTQIA youth said they felt more comfortable being themselves online than in the real world. Because SPECTRA is an opportunity to use the power we have online to rally our community together and find the safe spaces for us in the real world.

SPECTRA is an excellent opportunity to create an online resource center for the LGBTQIA community, where you will be able to know where to go, where to work and even where to live. SPECTRA has been created by a union of inclusive people, employers, and places. It is a movement towards social equality and will be available on iOS, Android and the web. Because we believe in a future where everyone can feel safe in the world. We invite everyone to get involved, especially allies!

How Will That Work?

We have designed three unique features to help you find the best friendly places to have fun:

Rainbow Ratings

SPECTRA Rewards

Rainbow Maps

The rainbow ratings will work similarly to YELP but for the LGBTQIA community! SPECTRA members will be able to rate businesses on how welcoming they are. These ratings will help other members of our community avoid spaces where they could feel unsafe, and encourage businesses where they are welcomed. The ratings are calculated based on actual interactions through user-generated reviews. SPECTRA is a global app, which makes it easy to find affirming businesses all over the world.

You will be able to avoid places with low inclusion ratings. Plus, in the near future, you will be able to look for window stickers on businesses with a HIGH inclusion rating!

As for the rainbow map, we plan for it to be a resource that makes it easy for you to plan a journey. You will be able to take safe routes around your city and anywhere in the world! Every SPECTRA object is pinned to the map for your convenience. You will also be able to filter businesses by several criteria such as:

Exclusive deals

Health & Wellness

Safe Spaces

Queer Spaces

Gender neutral bathrooms

Hotels & Hostels

Crossdresser Meet-Ups

Virtual businesses

LGBTQIA and POC owned

Clothing Swaps

Private Events

Pride Events

Finally, with SPECTRA rewards, you will be able to earn rewards at inclusive businesses and gain access to exclusive deals that are only available within SPECTRA Rewards! You can earn points as you shop with our partners and inclusive businesses all over the world!

There are so many more things we have in mind for SPECTRA and we need your help to make it happen!

We Are 80% Complete!

Due to some complications and homophobic forces in the world, we had to hide for the longest time that we were building an LGBTQIA portal. This secrecy resulted in extra expenses and longer development. SPECTRA was started in summer of 2017.

We are finally coming out and need your support to complete the development and refine, test and release SPECTRA in BETA.

Our Kickstarter campaign went online on February 19 2019, and our goal pledges is at only 10,000. Thanks to our several backers we are a little over 10% of our goal! We ask for your help to bring our project to fruition and we have planned several tiers and rewards for those who believe in us!

We invite everyone on Tumblr to Signal Boost us and help us reach our goal! Reblog, like, share it with your friends! It might seem like a small gest, but SPECTRA will be a revolution for LGBTQIA inclusion!

Be part of our future today!

Trans rights activist Hande Kader was raped and burned to death in Turkey

In Turkey, the LGBTQ community is mourning the loss of transgender rights activist and sex worker Hande Kader. Kader’s body was found raped and brutally burned on Aug. 12 in Istanbul and now activists across the world are demanding justice for her death and the greater violence inflicted upon the the LGBTQ community. While homosexuality is not illegal in Turkey, discrimination and violence against the LGBTQ community is staggering. 

You guys asked for a sapphic Vine compilation so I'm delivering it to you
