I hate how it's always "stop letting your teenagers drink energy drinks!!!" And never "stop letting energy drink companies put dangerous amounts of caffeine into their drinks and stop letting them market to teenagers" or "stop forcing teenagers to be at constant sleep deficits because of early wake ups and absurd homework and stress loads" but hey who cares why not blame the literal child for trying to stay awake enough to match the absurd expectations y'all have for us now
For context, this is Jewish actor Miriam Margolyes. A self-identified dyke,she was professor sprout in the harry potter movies but she's been extremely prolific over five decades. She's pro trans and pro Palestinian.
I think those fancomics where Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes is transgender are cute and fun but I also think it's a deep misunderstanding of Calvin's character to think he would transition into a heterosexual normie who goes to her high school reunion. That girl would have neopronouns and fang implants
I see your Panthera and raise you a political history Ph.D. student named Clytemnestra who spends all the time she should be working on her dissertation writing TTRPGs that are meticulously grounded in the cultural milieu of immediately pre-Ottoman Constantinople, which isn't even her subject. and Hobbes helps do faer E injections
Thank god chuck Norris died now after years of being a rightwing shill destroyed his memetic legend status to all but people you can easily avoid. today would have been unbearable if it were like 2008.
Tourists in the Marvel Universe visiting New York and afterwards complaining to whoever they think the Relevant Authorities are like 'i was in New York for a WHOLE WEEK and Spider-Man didn't show up ONCE' and the relevant authorities (idk. City council?) having to issue a statement along the lines of 'we do not control the Spider-Man' (subheading: he is actually a wanted criminal)
been thinking a lot about the colonial myth of self-sufficient/reliant nations lately. for no reason in particular. always remember that a lot of work goes into making global south labour invisible to the global north, right up until the moment that global south workers can be demonised. always remember that the global north relies on the global south a lot more than the reverse. truly. global north fear-mongering about globalisation is truly pathetic when you consider the sheer amount we continue to benefit from colonialism and unequal distribution of global labour
The Sameer Project campaign in the South Gaza needs your support
Their campaign needs about $3,600 to $5,000 every day just to cook 250 meals and prepare 10 pots of lentils or bulgur. Medical work adds another $5,000 every 10 days. Now, water trucks are becoming a top priorityābut those come with a hefty price tag too. On top of it all, they have to hire a lot of labor, which has to be paid in cash.
They need to reach at least $10,000 a day for the South campaign to provide some of each of those. Please donate today and share with your family and friends:
**With Famine on the rise, we will significantly lower tent purchases and focus on food (rice and bread) and water over the next couple of w

The Sameer Project is also running a medical service point in North Gaza
Medical Care: The Sameer Project in Honor of Mosab Ali
The Sameer Project x Translating Falasteen has been supplying medication, treatments, visits to doctors, wound care, making specialist appointments, physiotherapy, psychotherapy, and collecting documents to facilitate evacuations in both the North, Central, and South of Gaza for one year. Depending on the patient, location, and type of help needed we have been supporting medical care from our North and South campaigns. Now, as the situation is deteriorating and we are stepping up to do more, we have decided to make a focused āMedical Careā campaign.
In addition to our South medical point we are opening up a new medical point in the North, in the over crowded and underserved Port Camp. This medical point: the āTranslating Falasteen x The Sameer Project Port Camp Medical Pointā will have full service care including a doctor, nurses, a dentist, and a physiotherapist. After the initial installation costs it will be approximately $20,000 to keep it up and running and medication in stock.
getting gender euphoria from stupid and cringe and boring shit is awesome and if anyone makes you feel bad for it you should tear them open with your bare hands ok
this goes for trans women who like thigh highs and the like "skirt go spinny" memes and transmascs who like being "ugly" and dressing lame and "cringe" nonbinary people who get made fun of for being named after objects or concepts and people with weird genders and neopronouns and if someone bullies you KILL THEM
Nova Scotia passes law to remove Miākmaw land protectors
The NS government just passed a bill called "Protecting Nova Scotians Act" so they can "legally" remove the Mi'kmaw land protectors on Hunter's Mountain to "to protect Nova Scotians utilizing wood resources". Land protectors who refuse to leave the mountain could face up to a $50,000 fine and/or six months in jail!
This is a huge violation of my people's rights and I would like to encourage every Nova Scotian to please make as much a fuss about this as possible. And to every Canadian and person abroad, please continue to pay close attention to this struggle. We are about to see so much police brutality increase, I feel it.
Gaslighting of impressive proportions coming from the minister responsible for Lānu Affairs (who is meant to coordinate Mi'kmaq and government consultation ā which was entirely circumvented this time around), Leah Martin:
(source)
This is an egregious, unconstitutional and blatant violation of Treaty Rights, and the framing of this legislation as part of a package in service of "protecting Nova Scotians" is unacceptable.
If you are a resident of Nova Scotia, this is the time to support the Sipekneākatik First Nationās call for Leah Martinās immediate resignation, and to apply pressure on the provincial legislature. Contact your member of the Legislative Assembly (Don't know who that is? Find out here.)
The reason this bill was able to be passed in the first place was Tim Houstonās Progressive Conservative Party running the shortest fall session of the legislature since 1986 (8 days!!!) and packing these amendments into omnibus bills covering a collection of unrelated matters from enforcing criminal record checks for bar bouncers to addressing housing concerns for victims of domestic violence toā¦ this. Yes, all of these amendments are in one bill. Yes, they're trying to confuse the issue on purpose.
Their strategy is to ram this legislation through without giving the opposition and public time to put forward meaningful resistance, let alone get public attention on the subject. And this will keep getting worse if Nova Scotians allow them to get away with it. Do not let them. Keep your eyes on Unama'ki. Be loud, be disruptive & stand in solidarity with L'nu defenders.
This isn't Greta Thunbergās fault, she couldnāt have been a better ally, but itās so disheartening how her kidnapping and mistreatment for five days have rallied so many people, when what she went through is only a fraction of a fraction of what thousands of Palestinian men, women, girls, and boys, who have been routinely kidnapped, tortured, and raped to unimaginably evil lengths for months or even years, often to the point of death, have endured and are still enduring as we speak.
And I know thatās the whole point of why she did what she did. She knew that, as a young high-profile white European girl, her mistreatment would result in more uproar, and she intended to use that privilege to raise awareness of what is happening to Palestinians. Thatās why the first thing she did after her release, when the press asked her to speak in detail about her own mistreatment, was to shift the conversation instead to how Israel continues to escalate its genocide against Palestinians.
I just wish people understood her message and gave the same energy toward helping Palestinians without waiting for a White Westerner to risk their life first.

I always sound alarmist and I am but I've been trying not to make this post after failing a similar goal um but that was before my dad threatened to kick me out on Tuesday because I asked him to shower.
Hi. I'm DJ :(
Oh dear. I just have to put things like this. I'm like a triple or more black minority. Fascism is on the rise in the states. Unemployed, housing vulnerable with a really sick elderly parent.
Big dreams, global goals, whatever. I just really need both a passport and a computer to not die before accomplishing anything with my life.
My dad exhibits all signs of dementia and I can't drive so I take care of him here, write from my phone, feed us with foodstamps and beg online.
Wanna see me do it some more? Lmao. Illinois is being targeted extremely. This is not fun. If you do the math, places that are being targeted absolutely have strong anticonservative foundations.
But progressive and left are 2 different things. There is not much infrastructure to keep me safe where I am. Carless. Defenseless.
I'm afraid. Sue me. Or help me out. I'd appreciate it! A major portion of my extended family is homeless or housing vulnerable rn. I have no one else, yk?
I've got a Kofi and a gofundme. I want to write a novel asap. I want to go to school. Use my knowledge of statistics to become a sociopolitical analyst abroad. But I cannot remain housed and safe without help. I have no means of accomplishing those goals currently.
I'd prefer help through either the gofundme or the Kofi. But I have 6 name your price poetry books on my gumroad (so, free even if you just boost) and some payapps I'll list below as well.
This is my help me please dear God, post and so my goal encompasses the passport, laptop and literally however else anyone can help. It's hard to get real and easier to ask 3 people for 20 dollars too often but I was asking for 50 all the time when I really need help with food, water and electricity for the public apartment I am waiting on.
Surviving till then, travel capability after and some means to keep creating so as to sustain any kind of life short term. I really just survive and scavenge atvm.
