but what are some sundown towns do y’all know of? like if someone were to do a cross-country trip, what are some towns they should absolutely not go through?
Small towns in south ga and noth fla
Ga: Jonesboro, tifton, Albany, valdosta, Macon
Fla: Gainesville, Perry, Madison, Marianna, Quincy, Jefferson county, hell I wouldn’t stop in Tallahassee either
Texas: Vidor, Orange, Deep Santa Fe
Texas: Jasper & Lumberton
I’m from Albany and recently the police beat up a young brother for no reason. They were attempting to say he had drugs but he of course had nothing.
If you go to Stone Mountain and find yourself on the trails close to night leave because they still have active Klan rallys up there
I was driving through north Florida during the day and I felt uncomfortable
The Negro Motorist Green Book was guide for black folk traveling in the 60s. It’s gives a breakdown of sundown towns. 50 years later, I’m sure it’s still relevant.
I feel like the Deep South is just a gamble.
Ohio…just in general
Central Florida, especially the little towns. If you must stop to pump gas, pay away the pump and get outta there asap
Once you get out of St. Louis county start being careful.
St. Genevieve, MO is definitely a no go for me if I’m traveling south.
If traveling in Louisiana stay away from small town with low speeding zones. If you are to go into those please drive the speed limit and don’t stop for gas. You will get a ticket for tint of your car. If your military I pay you drive the speed limit and don’t have a military tag. Get gas in the daylight.
I’m glad you’re looking out for your bros, at the same time it’s a pathetic look at the country in the 21st century.
Saving this and reblogging for myself and my tumblr fam stay safe love you guys (also check the notes for comments on more cities to avoid)
Ohio: Hartville, Sebring, Salem are all in NE Ohio. Had the worst experience of my life in Hartville.
Mississippi. Just. All of it. Especially if you’re LGBT and a POC.
why are people such assholes to those who identify as asexuals? so the + that you have been putting in lgbtq is just for show? so if they happen to be cis and het they are no longer part of a minority even though they identify as asexual? so you only accept people who are interested in having sex? so the inclusive community is just fit for those that YOU judge that don’t fit the norm? show some fucking compassion and stop excluding people. ace people are valid and part of the lgbtq+ community.
They have no idea how hard it is to be ace.
How hard it was to grow up ace back when “asexual” only applied to single-celled organisms.
How hard it still is to grow up surrounded by sex everywhere. You have to have sex. You have to want sex. You shouldn’t have sex with anyone but ~the one~ but you’re going to want it anyway.
Sex factors into everything. What you wear. How you look. How you walk. Where you go. Who you hang out with.
Everyone wants it. Of course everyone wants it. Anyone who doesn’t is broken.
Get on The Pill or get T to fix it, because it’s hormones. Get therapy to fix it, because it’s your brain. Get laid with new people to fix it because you just haven’t fucked the right person.
WRONG.
Because aces aren’t broken. Aces are erased. Persecuted. Forgotten. Abused. Coerced. Raped. Forced to take meds and go through therapy and told again and again that this is ~fixable~.
But we’re not broken. We’re just fucking fine as we are, and nobody has any right to say otherwise. Yet we still go through this shit every time Pride rolls around, and I’m sick of it.
Every goddamn thing any queer person with any other letter in the LGBTQ+ alphabet could go through, we go through, too.
You’re goddamn right we’re part of the community, no matter what other shit you think “disqualifies” us.
In fact, protip: If you’re gatekeeping any fellow self-declared queers, saying they don’t deserve to be part of the community, you’re being an asshole.
Pedophiles are not LGBT, no adult engaging in a sexual relationship with a minor gets to call themselves LGBT and if you think they do fucking block me and throw yourself into the sun
TERF rhetoric is toxic and stupid and no one needs your transphobic ass any time of the year, much less the time of year when trans people should be taking pride in their identities (which is also year round)
It is not, under any circumstances, okay to “out” someone. I don’t care if you think your intentions are good. this can destroy someone’s life. A young person could end up homeless. Or dead.
POC belong at PRIDE just as much as everyone else (we would not have this without black trans women, show some respect)
You don’t know if the “apparently straight” couple who you see at PRIDE is composed of two straight people – one could be bisexual, one could be asexual, both could be, I mean, like, don’t be that person
Or they could be there to support someone who might’ve otherwise been alone, like, just, don’t be that person who polices sexualities and shit okay
Bisexuality, pansexuality, and polysexuality all exist and deserve to be respected
seriously it’s completely possible to be attracted to two or more genders or be attracted regardless of gender and our identities don’t hurt anyone
Just because you are LGBTQIA+ doesn’t mean you aren’t capable of being an asshole, and if you use “I’m gay!” as an excuse you need to grow up (this applies year round)
Asexuals and aromantics belong at PRIDE just as much as any other LGBTQIA+ individual, I really don’t care how many letters are in the “alphabet soup”, you have a valid identity
polyamory is when three or more people engage in a consensual relationship, not when one person is with someone else behind their partner’s back
polyamory is not superior to monogamy or vice versa
buying PRIDE gear for your sexuality/gender doesn’t mean you’re selling out or giving into capitalism, if it makes you happy do it and don’t let people shame you for it
and honestly like isn’t it good for it to be normalized? I am all for Target having a PRIDE section, that’s amazing
Not everyone is okay with using the word or calling themselves “queer”, if they’re not okay with it don’t call them that
bisexuality is not transphobic and pansexuality is not biphobic
stay safe at PRIDE – don’t accept open drinks from strangers, ever, no matter what, people can be awful anywhere you go, just stay safe
you don’t have to come out just because it’s PRIDE month, if it isn’t safe for you (i.e. you’ll be on the streets, homeless, etc) don’t pressure yourself
that’s all I have, I’m sure there’s probably more
I just want to add to the “You don’t know if the “apparently straight” couple who you see at PRIDE is composed of two straight people – one could be bisexual, one could be asexual, both could be” or… one or both of them could be heterosexual trans people.
Trans people belong to pride even if they are heterosexual and while being there is sign of wanting to participate this doesn’t mean that they are fine with being outed. Plus, it could be a straight trans person is there with their bi/pan partner of opposite gender and only the bi/pan partner is out of the closet while they didn’t disclose their trans status.
I know tumblr thinks all trans people is bi or SGA but a good percentage is heterosexual and may be completely cis-passing and in a relationship that looks “cishet” to external eyes.
I’m always happy to help a friend in need, friend. And you definitely sounded needy
Oh, that’s an accurate description. Needy – just like when Sherlock has been wearing lingerie under his suit all day and him and John eventually get home…
Needy – like the sound John makes when he sees Sherlock in his silky, blue dressing gown, stockinged legs, and knows exactly what’s lying beneath the silk.
Or the way Sherlock whimpers when John hesitates, to draw it out, after he pulls the suspender straps so that when he eventually lets them go they snap against his ass…
or the way John licks into him, getting his hole all slick and sloppy before slipping his finger inside to make room for his needier cock…
Sherlock is always at his most vocal when rimming is involved… He holds his cheeks open with desperate, white knuckled fingers while he begs and pleads with John;
“God, John, fuck me, please, please fuck me. I need it, John, please….”
John gets off on every single sound Sherlock makes, drinking it like a dying man in a desert. The sounds he makes while getting eaten out are nothing compared to the ones that he makes once john finally –finally!– stops teasing him open and slides his hot, hard cock in him.
He’ll lean over him and growl in Sherlock’s ear, “how do you always know what I need before I do? Gorgeous, brilliant creature, you,” before giving Sherlock what they both need.
