A year ago, my daughter and I started creating content on TikTok to smash the stigma against mental illness. Since then, our posts have been seen by over a quarter million people! And next week, our story will be in HuffPost! #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth tiktok.com/@stigmasmashers
This thread is a must read for all lgbtq allies and really just for all humans.

Ron DeSantis just threatened to build a state prison next to Disney World. All because they don’t hate gay people.
