I Doubt This Will Get Much Traction On Here, But Puerto Ricos Governor Has Just Passed Cdigo Civil (Civil

I doubt this will get much traction on here, but Puerto Rico’s governor has just passed Código Civil (Civil Code) that has loopholes regarding women’s and LGBT+ rights. This code was passed despite activists’ call for a veto, and was intentionally speedily passed so that public hearings would not take place

In a nutshell, women’s bodily autonomy has the potential to be restricted which can take away their right to abortions, and the discrimination bans against the LGBT+ community are able to be overridden. 

5 trans people have died violently in Puerto Rico since the beginning of 2020. 

I ask my followers and mutuals to please reblog. There is so much going on in America today and this is one thing to add. There are protests for #BlackLivesMatter in Puerto Rico and a significant black community there. As an Afro Latina and a member of the LGBT community, I ask you to spread this and help.

When the Buddha said all life is suffering, he wasn't joking, huh?

Can't believe Katara refused to bend blood. Girl was probably part of the crips.

I still think about the blue highlighter you gave me. I pretended I didn't really want it, but you insisted that I needed it-- it was drying out anyway, you said. I put it in my pencil case, where I later put more highlighters. But it's okay because-- I can always pick out your blue one by its missing stickers and how the transparent plastic turned grey from your use. Even when I do pick it out, I can never bring myself to use it for more than a couple seconds. I've kept it just like you gave it to me. A little dried out, but still warm from when you last touched it. I think it could be the comfort of familiarity, but I just want to carry that piece of you inside my pencil case forever.
