Remember...

It’s okay to sleep in. It’s okay to cry for no reason. It’s okay to not like running. It’s okay to fail a test. It’s okay to be sad. It’s okay to be human. It’s okay to be you.

People  with  disabilities  are  NOT  burdens

Remember the Muslim group who started raising funds to help pay for funerals and medical expenses for the victims in Pittsburgh?? Well. They’re not done yet. Look at this

They have increased their goal several times and exceeded it within hours. HOURS!!

Here is their latest update

They’re asking you to please donate to their other fund, to help the victims of the shooting in Kentucky. These people are beyond amazing. They give me hope for the future and restore my faith in humanity.

Here is the fund for the synagogue

Here is the fund for the victims in Kentucky

They haven’t reached their goal with this one yet. If you’re feeling compelled to donate, please donate to the Kentucky fund. Because of everything else going on, it hasn’t gotten nearly as much attention. But these two peoples lives were just as important. They were just as loved and they will be just as missed.

And because they haven’t gotten as much attention and their stories aren’t in the news as much, here’s their story. From the fund raiser.

Please pass this around. If you can’t donate, someone who sees your reblog might.

Respond to evil with good.

You’re not a burden, not to anyone.

kara: forgives alex for lying to her for 2, 3 years while Alex goes and works for, as James said in season 1, “an alien Guantanamo” and not telling Kara about all the harm she was putting herself through, without Kara ever even helping her

kara: forgives alex for shooting her out of the sky and holding her down with kryptonite

kara: forgives alex for not telling her what kryptonite is (even though Alex clearly knows what it is before that moment)

kara: forgives Alex for killing her aunt, when she only knew j’onn a few months and would rather her aunt be alive and not delaying her long enough for kara to get to her

kara: gives up her greatest fantasy because Alex asks her to.

kara: asks Alex with what she believed to be her last dying words to seek out a life that she believes that Alex couldnt have because she was taking care of kara

kara: forgives Alex for being the cause of Maxwell Lorde knowing her identity, despite Kara’s constant warnings and Alex’s complete dismissal of him.

kara: tries to make it so that alex could live the life kara think she deserves, seeing herself as such a burden she thinks that leaving would make alex’s life better, not realizing that isn’t what alex wants and does this not because she’s childish or because she’s selfish but because she genuinely thinks she’s a burden

kara: doesnt give any of that “i love you anyway” bs but apologizes for any part kara might have played in alex not realizing that shes gay and pretty much fulfilling the fantasy reaction of what every queer person wants when coming out to their family

kara: at first butts heads with Maggie not because she’s stubborn but because she saw Alex go from excited to be out to devastated and sobbing, all because of Maggie, and Kara held her and tried to hug her as tight as she dared.

All because Maggie thought she was too “fresh off the boat” and this is her big sister–it’s very normal to be wary of significant others who hurt their siblings so badly already once before. But then once she sees how much Maggie loves her sister and how much they care about each other she fully embraces Maggie (literally. kara literally hugs her)

kara: would literally die for alex and does so much more for Alex but it’s less obvious because Alex’s usually is an obvious physical thing, which kara doesnt replicate because she’s impervious to most physical risks so it’s Different but no less important

kara: has intense PTSD as the result of watching her planet die and losing everything she’s ever known and p much has Sensory Processing Disorder and sometimes asks leans on Alex for that because massive trauma and sensory overload aren’t things you just “grow out of” like a sweater

y’all: oh she’s childish and needs to grow up and is bringing alex down what a horrible character we hate her

Today is Teacher Appreciation Day, and I especially wanna thank those teaching in underfunded rural school districts.

Teachers who live in areas with high rates of teen pregnancy and methamphetamine abuse.

Teachers that grapple with school boards trying to make them teach religion as science, abstinence as sex ed, revisionism as history, and banning certain books from the reading list.

Teachers that watch their students play football on a state-of-the-art field with all the latest equipment, then watch those same students share ten-year-old textbooks because there was no available money in the school’s budget.

Teachers battling against a middle-American white supremacist culture that glorifies ignorance and villifies knowledge.

As one of those kids from one of those backwoods towns who made it out, thank you. Thank you so much. I never would have made it without you.
