LAST DAY TO SIGN
Hi Prideknights!
You're based in Europe, right? Could you help out signal-boosting this European citizens initiative to ban conversion therapy in the EU?
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home
I don't think I have to explain the horrors of conversion therapy to you, so let me explain how this initiative works.
For it to get taken seriously by the EU, we need two things:
7 countries need to reach the minimum threshold of signatures for their country. We're currently at 6 out of 7! Slovenia only needs 300 more signatures to become country number 7!
We need a total of 1 million signatures. This might look daunting, but there days ago we were still at 200.000. Yesterday we were at 450.00. We are at 535.000 right now. So we have a long way to go, but we are moving fast!
The deadline is in a few days, on May 17.
Anybody with a European citizenship can add their name to the pile! If we reach the right amount, the official citizen initiative will be put before the EU Commission.
With lgbtq+ rights getting rolled back across the world, including Europe, there is no time to lose to demand stronger protections.
actually i think we need to talk about how lonely and isolating it is to be young and chronically ill. of course being older and unwell is no picnic either, but there’s something about watching people around your own age live their lives as normal that stings. everyone i know my age is working, studying, exercising, travelling, going out for walks, for drinks, to dance or to see a film or buy groceries, making new friends and learning new things and trying new hobbies, just existing in public in a way that i am not able to do. i am stuck, here, feeling like i can’t grow up while everyone else around me gets to have these normal experiences. of course i know i am not the only disabled twentysomething on the planet, but the knowledge that most people my age are reaching milestones that are just beyond my reach makes me feel isolated, helpless, and ultimately, alone.
hey folks if you have an android phone: google shadow installed a "security app".
I had to go and delete it myself this morning.
Hello, my friend is a Hecate devotee and they have been suffering through these seizures for years. Anything that anyone could do would be helpful. 🖤🖤
Please like and repost if you can as well.
physically disabled people should be allowed to do activities that might cause a flare up or illness without other people acting like the time they need to recover is no longer owed to them.
got real mad reading the news and drew this
