If you're on the fence at all about whether or not you should vote in the upcoming election, or if your mind is pretty made up that you're not going to vote, I absolutely beg of you, please vote. No your one vote probably won't change the course of history and swing the election one way or the other, but if you're considering not voting because you don't think it's important, think about how many other hundreds or thousands of people in your constituency are thinking the same. Those votes collectively can and will impact the result. I understand that the possibilities for pm are all shit, but remember that you're voting for your member of parliament, to represent you, not voting for a prime minister. Look at who the people running in your constituency are and choose whichever of them you most want to represent you in parliament, even if it's not the most tactical vote for getting the Tories out. What's important is that you use your right to vote - voter turnout is always shockingly low, especially with young people, do what you can to help those figures go up and also to have someone you agree with representing you in parliament

I did some light statistical searching after the Brexit vote and (off the top of my head) it equated to a 27% turn out by under 30s. GO OUT AND VOTE. Cancel out a bigot.

Who were the lesbian blood sisters?

“Suddenly, the hospitals were full of lesbians who were volunteering. Volunteering to go into those rooms and help my friends who were dying. I remember being so moved by them because gay men hadn’t been too kind to lesbians. We’d call them ‘fish’ and make fun of the butch dykes in the bars – and yet, there they were.”

In the 80s, the AIDS crisis was devastating the world of GLBT people - as the acronym read at the time. Gay men were banned from donating blood, which was desperately needed by patients dying from AIDS. The fear around HIV was so great that doctors and nurses refused to even enter the rooms of AIDS patients. These patients were often abandoned by their families in their dying days. There was a crisis was in the GLBT community, and so lesbians stepped in.

Lesbians organized blood drives in order to give blood to AIDS patients who desperately needed it. These blood drives attracted dozens, if not hundreds of lesbians at a time who all donated their blood. They called themselves the Blood Sisters, and they organized regular blood drives for at least 4 years. HIV patients needed frequent blood transfusions due to anemia induced from the virus, and so lesbians provided this blood.

In addition to blood drives, lesbians also took place as physical caretakers for gay men with AIDS, who were often abandoned by their families and even nursing staff who refused to go into their rooms. Lesbians held hands, fed, and took care of them.

In order to honor the efforts of lesbians during the AIDS crisis, the GLBT acronym was changed to LGBT, with lesbians deliberately at the front. Lesbians were a crucial part of the fight against AIDS, and this change would immortalize it in our community.

thinking hard about the Married Vampires Show that louis and armand are staging (trying to stage) every day in dubai. hard for me to stop thinking about it. this is where the laughter will go (daniel does not laugh). this is where we will charm the audience (Daniel is not charmed). okay PLACES EVERYONE. the role of rashid will now be played by rashid. ENTER ARMAND, STAGE RIGHT. the production is falling apart! louis you’re changing your lines. Cut. take five. we're editing the script.
i mean it's all so controlled but it's also. wildly out of control. armand you are world's most beautiful complex awful depressing embarrassing and scary puppeteer who is also weirdly not good at his job (keeping romantic hold of a man who is terrified to be alone with himself). this is armand: I've Convinced My Favourite Marionette That He and I Are In A Relationship of Equal Standing, Because He Tells Me What To Do In Bed Sometimes. okay quiet on set everyone. louis please remember that you're happy to be here. and ACTION.
