Friends, besties and my bitches, please re-boost my life's work. I had it and vetted to remove problematic elements, sourced everything I could get my hands on for free, and reworked and fine-tuned it. Thanks!

tweet 1: "happy international lesbian day, if you use the orange and pink flag i designed and have a few bucks to spare i would really appreciate any help at all"

tweet 2: "ive been skipping meals to afford to see a specialist so even $1 helps. i have no family to ask for help."

This international lesbian day I hope some support can be extended to Emily Gwen. The flag they have made has been used by many corporations and they do not receive any money made from those sales. They are also dealing with housing insecurity and have many financial problems

their ko-fi:

Support Emily Gwen <3

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #373 )✅️

I hope you'll let me tell you a little bit about my home🇵🇸, Gaza🍉. It's a place where we're living through some very challenging times💔🥹. We're under attack from bombs, explosives, and warplanes, and we've had to endure many nights of sleeplessness. It's a difficult situation💔, but we're trying to stay positive🖤. This war has really taken a toll on us. It's destroyed our bodies, our lives, and our souls. It has been so sad to see our homes destroyed, our belongings taken from us, and our beautiful places ruined. It has also changed our situation for the worse. We were living a pretty good life, you know? Peaceful, loving, and full of life. But then, we found ourselves in a really tough spot. Hunger, fear, and terror have become our new normal. My kids and I, along with my extended family, are struggling to make ends meet. We don't have the basic necessities of life, and our living situation is pretty rough. We're in these old, falling-apart tents. It's so hard to know what to do when winter comes. We'll be soaked in the rain and wind, and I'll be at a loss as to how to keep my family safe, from the bombing and from the winter.🥹

I'm really hoping you can help me and my family to live through this awful war.💔

a few reminders because i’m tired and angry

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes

the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually

liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space

preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good

no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl

liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that

just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny

some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have

no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems

abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships

y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

feel free to add more

THE WAY I SPED TO HIT REBLOG-

wolfertinger666

I'm gonna be real with you and say that it's not really progressive when you see black characters/POC coded characters and instantly talk about how cool they are because they piss of bigots.

I'm sorry but like, can I draw the joy of myself and my racial identity without thinking about how politicized my existence is Thanks.

wolfertinger666

I think leftist online have such a big problem with seeing a marginalized person express themselves in any way and instantly start thinking about bigots and how of a "epic ownage" they would be and it comes off as soooooo disingenuous and out of touch.

can you celebrate black joy without thinking about the very people who hate me and bring it up to me.

wolfertinger666

idk it would be nice to treat black folk like they're real people that exist and not points you use in an argument online or some other crazy strawman.

ym2164-deactivated20250427

please dont stop talking about palestine . i do not trust israel and there has been multiple ceasefires theyve completely ignored . if we do happen to see iof soldiers leave and no longer occupy palestine , they would still need to rebuild . this includes medical aid and addressing airborne diseases , finding displaced families and reuniting them , etc ... their entire infrastructure needs to be rebuilt so please do not forget about palestine and do not let the US take credit for their liberation .

ym2164-deactivated20250427

if you have a small business or know any shop owners nearby you can hand this zip file over . it contains qr codes to redirect people towards fundraisers for palestinians ! this is provided by gazafunds .

To wake up in pain and go to sleep in pain from the disease you suffer from It is heartbreaking and interesting, and what is more interesting is that you are suffering in a place where there is no treatment, no medical equipment, and no monitoring of your condition at all. To be in a tent with these pains and no healthy food is available to you. It is even more so.difficulty

This is what happens to my mother every day. She suffers from advanced fibroids in both lungs. She needs your help so that we can treat her as soon as possible after the crossing is opened and provide healthy food for her and for our poor family anyway.

My mother usually uses a tube to help her breathe, after we were displaced from our home and losing this tube made her suffering more....

Adult Transgender Legislative Risk Map, November 2024

canisbeta

This map is made and maintained by transgender journalist Erin Reed. She read all 550 bills targeting trans people in America in 2023 and 586 so far in 2024 and she scores state safety based on proposed and enacted legislation. She regularly updates the map (including explanations of recent legislative changes) on her site. She has a separate map for trans youth (which: warning, is even more scary), since a lot of policies target minors specifically.

It’s depressing as all hell, but Erin does great work and I’ve been using her maps to plan my career and vacations for years. It’s helped me figure out where to apply for grad school, and helps me keep track of what states I cannot do a layover in while flying because of bathroom bills.

Hey yall, Im a broke af two spirit parent living with my Navajo trans gf and its Native Heritage Month. So if you're able to help us pay one of our bills that would be a very good way to materially help (at least one native) this month. We just need help with the car payment, it's $290

“We won’t be able to organize/ protest under Trump”.

People in the Global South have been organizing and protesting under dictatorships that America has installed as puppets for decades. You will be fine.

thenixkat

Again it bothers me how easily people forget that BLM protestors were getting assassinated and disappeared under the Obama (Democrat) administration. Or the shit that the Biden administration was doing to protestors this year.

Fuckers just don't *want * to protest if they think shit was/will be any more difficult under Trump

mysharona1987

That’s a concentration camp, tho.

I posted something on this a few days ago, seems not many know the details:

A private intelligence corporation billed as "Uber for war zones" is preparing to create what Israel hopes will be the model for supplanting

The Biden administration has approved the deployment of 1,000 CIA-trained private mercenaries as part of a joint U.S.-Israeli plan to turn Gaza’s apocalyptic rubblescape into a high-tech dystopia.

Starting with Al-Atatra, a village in the northwestern Gaza Strip, the plan calls to build what the Israeli daily Ynet calls “humanitarian bubbles” – turning the remains of villages and neighborhoods into tiny concentration camps cut off from their environs and surrounded and controlled by mercenaries.

This comes as Israel carries out daily massacres and ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza, enacting the proposal known as The Generals’ Plan, originally crafted by former national security chief Giora Eiland to turn Gaza into “a place where no human being can exist.”

To all the trans people who see this tonight, no matter what happens, we will survive. Trans people will still be here 4 years from now and 10 years from now and 100 years from now and tomorrow. We have always existed and we always will. The world cannot unlearn about us; we are too public, too loud, too beloved, too present. Ill be here tomorrow. Please stay here with me.

willowcrowned

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters

The Internet Archive Is Losing Its Lawsuit...

heliopixels

I'm losing my mind at how slowly Iyad and Ruba's campaign is going. Can you just pay attention. Please. I know fundraising posts on your dash may blur together but please remember these are real people.

Iyad and Ruba's campaign was already going at a slow pace before this at only $100 per day but now it's barely getting 10 bucks. It has to support not one but TWO families now since Ruba can't access the money from her previous fundraisers. That's a total of at the least, 16 people.

Ruba is currently in the hospital and if you've been following the news, you know how dangerous it is for Gazans to be stuck in one place. And Iyad is currently having heart problems due to the tremendous stress of barely surviving under genocide.

You can help them. You can pay for their treatment. You can help feed them. Literally even just $1 helps. We got only 1 donation for the last 3 days. Anything helps.

Help Eman Abushaban reach their goal by donating or sharing with your friends.

They are both on the Vetted Gaza Fundraiser Spreadsheet by @/nabulsi and @/el-shab-hussein. You can check for yourselves but keep in mind the links have not been updated to their current situation. Read about that here

$2,973/$60,000

Thank you to everyone who's donated so far, truly, but we cannot let this campaign stagnate. It's only gotten 2 donations today even though it managed to raise over $300 for the first time yesterday due to everyone's efforts. I'd love to see that again and I'd love to see this continue.

And you know what most of yesterday's donations were ? The most common was about $5 or $10, all of those added up to reach a goal we never had before. Every donation, no matter how small, counts. Currently we're trying to reach 5k in the next 5 days (only $2,027 left to raise) this is a very achievable goal if everyone pitches in, and can be achieved if and only if you donate. so please donate + share.

heliopixels

Iyad was finally able to get his medicine !! Everyone who donated directly contributed to that !! Thank you so so much but remember that we cannot let this stagnate esp since it's slowing significantly again. Please continue donating and sharing 💛
