Any of you have a Neilsen box? If so, I have a favor to ask of you.

If you’re, you know, relatively sensible, can you do this one small thing?

Switch the channel on your TV anytime Trump is on or talked about. Tank the ratings. Change it every time someone talks about his tweets, has him in for a phone call, etc. I don’t care what you turn it to (though wouldn’t it be fun if Animal Planet got a bump).

We got to this point because people watch him. Because he makes *advertisers* money. We can control of that.

You won’t miss anything. He’s everywhere, and his rhetoric isn’t evolving into anything better. So, just imagine he said something awful that hurts you to your core and you’ll still be up to date.

But please. Can you do me this favor?

Thank you.

Love,

TLOTH

i have received so many messages today asking me: you, a queer cuban girl, aren’t you scared? because we are all scared. we are all scared, because this is the sort of thing that we were all waiting for, secretly, had a fear of it that we held somewhere in the back of our minds.

but it is the month of pride. red is the first color of the rainbow. i am telling myself: what they want is for us to hide. when they throw slurs at the victims, when they cackle about it on a tasteless SNL skit four years from now, when we are a joke again - they want us erased. to be cowering. to slice up our flags and blindfold ourselves.

it is hard to believe that something good can ever come out of this. i don’t think anything could. i am shocked and angry and some part of me is lost. 

but i believe in us, in what we have already surmounted. i think often: isn’t it enough?

but the truth is: we are enough. we were already radicals when we were born. and we are the best kind of rebels, motivated by love alone. we were brave. we stood up to our parents, our teachers, our congress. we said we are here. we walked when they threw things at us, when they hosed us, when they cut out our existence from history books. we walked when we were all of the rainbow, yellow and sick, dark orange with anger, purple with bruises, blue with our sorrows trapped in our throats. and we were so strong, so fierce, a community that grew from beautiful roots into a nationwide movement. and in the face of hatred, we were proud.

keep being proud. love louder. i know you are tired, so am i. but keep walking. keep their names on your tongue. use those letters to shout. we are here. 

and we’re not going anywhere.

What infuriates me about the Orlando shooting is the media’s blatant removal of the word “gay” from their headlines on this tragedy. It was a GAY NIGHTCLUB. Don’t you fucking dare forget that. Don’t erase the identities of victims of the worst mass shooting in American history because you don’t think it’s pertinent to your story. This was a hate crime directed solely at the LGBTQIA community for daring to exist in the year 2016.

the erasure of black and colored identities is also kind of upsetting as well. I read that Pulse is a predominately QPOC occupied club, and the shooting occurred on Latin night. I hope that the identities of those lost isn’t white washed across the collective consciousness of everyone following media reports….

The shooting took place on Latin Night headlined by trans POC and trans Black performers in a gay club largely frequented by QPOC. 

The shooter’s father confirmed he was a homophobe. Don’t let them lie nor erase this.
