You're probably not looking for suggestions on non-profits to support, but I'm gonna give you five suggestions anyway because they're great causes.
(short thread)
Fisher House Foundation (@FisherHouseFdtn) "builds comfort homes where military & veteran families can stay free of charge, while a loved one is in the hospital."
The Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (@TAPSorg) "offers compassionate care to all those grieving a military loss", particularly surviving children.
Minority Veterans of America (@MinorityVets) is "designed to create belonging and advance equity for underrepresented veterans, including women, people of color, LGBTQ, and religious minorities."
Running Start's (@runningstart) "training programs are focused on educating young women about leadership, campaign strategy, and teamwork, without a partisan lens."
Lambda Legal (@LambdaLegal) is "committed to achieving full recognition of the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, transgender people and everyone living with HIV through impact litigation, education and public policy work."
Sir, back up for a second. I don't think you understand what's happening here, despite your best intentions. Even if we assume--for sake of argument--that Yoko Ono is awful, insufferable, manipulative, etc., that still doesn't explain how she made grown men break up.
Do you get what I'm saying? The grown men who comprised The Beatles made their own decisions. It is beyond laughable to claim that Yoko Ono forced the most powerful entertainers on the planet--each of them icons in their own right--to do anything, let alone split.
Even if the new Beatles documentary didn't already make it clear that Yoko Ono wasn't to blame for the Beatles breaking up, we really only need common sense to reach that conclusion.
This is the first scene in the new Beatles documentary that made my hair stand on end. Listen to how he’s vocalizing without words because he’s measuring out the melody and rhythm and has no lyrics yet.
Watch as Ringo and George are trying to work it out in their heads, too. All of them were looking for a resolution here. Stunning.
You can pinpoint the adjustments Paul makes as what he's singing edges closer to what he's thinking. And by the time he does the first vocalized melody, it complements his locomotive strumming perfectly and holy shit, it feels great to watch.
Look, the new Beatles documentary is amazing, but if nothing else, just watch from 1:02:00 and on for the whole sequence when "Get Back" goes from a riff Paul is absentmindedly playing to a fleshed-out song. It's absolutely mesmerizing.
Imagine having the kind of creative genius where you just come up with something like that off the top of your head. It blows me away.
Harrison just casually writing "I Me Mine" overnight, and when he tells the others he has a new song, you're almost afraid it's gonna be meh because of his body language, and then he starts playing and just captures the viewer in less than ten seconds.
If they're trying to make me feel bad for Shiv, that's just not gonna happen. She's a fun character, but I don't feel sorry for her. Ease up on the lamenting piano chords.
People who think this is a spoiler are funny, as if every episode doesn't have Shiv being dissed in some way, shape, or form by Logan.
Shiv's being insulted or talked down to! That never happens in the show!

@KaleighRogers@AlexSamuelsx5@Tonyhkchow First of all, trans people were not part of the story here. Nor were lesbians. Nor were bisexual people. Gawked at, maybe, but they interviewed two gay cis men with backwards-ass beliefs, threw in some anti-LGBTQ headlines and Williams Institute polling, and called it a day.
@KaleighRogers@AlexSamuelsx5@Tonyhkchow It doesn't even cover the worst aspects of anti-LGBTQ actions among the GOP. It doesn't mention the onslaught of legislation THIS YEAR against trans children. It doesn't mention that opposition against same-sex marriage was still endorsed in the GOP's platform LAST YEAR.
@KaleighRogers@AlexSamuelsx5@Tonyhkchow It doesn't mention that in 30 states RIGHT NOW, even cis gay men can be denied housing, public accommodations, credit, jury service, and adoption access solely for being gay. And that the GOP is weaponizing transphobia to hold this status quo.
