Note to Society #36

Happy International Women’s Day!

As we come together to celebrate the achievements of women throughout history, it’s important to remember the ongoing struggles women across the world are facing.

Today, let’s keep a special focus on all of our sisters of color, queer sisters, trans sisters, Palestinian sisters, working class sisters, disabled sisters, and sisters struggling with reproductive Justice.

We must not forget where we come from, and we must remember who we are working to protect now. I hope you all have a wonderful day - and pass along some kind words to the wonderful women in your lives!

Note To Society #3

Pedophiles/MAP’s are not a part of the LGBT+ community, and should not be associated with the community.

Note To Society #31

If people are rioting because of police violence, the proper response is not to be more violent.

Note to Society #35

The primary reason behind the common American backing Ukraine instead of Palestine is the United States government’s relationship with the offending nation.

If the US interacted with Israel the way it interacts with Russia, there would have been immediate calls to end this genocide as well as stronger humanitarian aid given to the people of Gaza.

Remember to be weary of propaganda when you’re consuming media related to this crisis. The people of Palestine have been calling for help for decades - Israel is committing genocide. And we are doing nothing.

The existence of LGBTQ+ people is not harming you in any way. Same-sex couples dating and getting married does not harm you, nor does it involve you. Don’t attempt to diminish the freedom of other innocent people simply because you’re homophobic. The LGBTQ+ community has experienced more pain and disrespect than many cisgender heterosexual people can relate to. From conversion therapy, to being fired due to your orientation, to being bullied and harassed daily because of who you are, the community has been through a lot. Regardless of your beliefs and opinions, please just leave LGBTQ+ people alone. The way they live their lives does not include you, and they are just as deserving of respect as any cisgender heterosexual person.

Note To Society #8

Pain is relative. Just because something doesn’t hurt you in particular, doesn’t mean that it can’t hurt someone else. Don’t tell them that ‘somebody else has it worse.’ That doesn’t help them. Be respectful of their situations.

Note To Society #26

If you are a person protesting quarantine, you are the reason that this is going to last another several months. Stop being selfish, and just stay home.

Note To Society #12

You are not required to share the opinions of everyone you meet, but you are required to respect those opinions.

Unless their opinions disrespect people. Than you can disrespect them all you want.

Note To Society #5

Sex workers are just as deserving of respect as anyone else, regardless of their occupation. And they are no more deserving of rape and harassment as anyone else.

Note To Society #11

Hating someone who’s part of a minority (LGBT+, religion, race) is fine, hating someone because they’re a part of a minority is not. Important distinction.
