I swear I was just talking to my mom about how no one is talking about Flint anymore as if the water problem has ceased. Smdh

[givemeunicorns]

Hey guys here are some places still taking donations!

Help for Flint

Life USA

United Way

Community Foundation of Greater Flint

Save the Children

[eleveni7]

Donations have slowed down, we do have water stations you can go to and get as many cases as you want but if donations dwindle, u cant go get it…don’t forget about my city…

[bpd-trichster]

As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t matter if a person incorrectly self-diagnoses themselves… if they are able to find skills, resources, and communities that help them cope and improve their mental health, that’s amazing.

I’d rather someone being a bit off with their self dx but still getting helped than someone struggling alone.

[angryventhole-blog]

Yeah, and it's not like doctors are perfect either, misdiagnosis happens

- if u block someone then everytime theyre around its just this black vaguely human shaped void that doesnt effect u in any way and is repelled immediatly upon coming 6 feet near u

- anon hate is someone running after u to tell u they hate you

- u try ur best to avoid anyone wearing a flower crown

- callouts are a hoard of people follwing one person and yelling stuff about them

- pornbots are just naked people on the street

- people come up to you to talk and you get excited but then they tell you their name is Erika and theyd like you to play their new game and point you towards a shady alleyway so you push them away and leave

- drama takes shape in the form of random fistfights on the street

- every once in a while someone walks up to you and says YOU ARE VALID

“Damn thats cold. Just like a refreshing Heineken.” Wow… just, wow heineken.

[transfemale]

This is such bullshit on Heineken’s part, she gulps when faced with the realization she was outed and has the option to stay and discuss her right to humanity with someone that opposes that. Granted the entire thing feels like they’re just paid actors, but the message itself is just piss poor.

Just because you have been left invisible doesn’t mean you are unimportant.

Atoms are largely invisible (except for those who know how to see them), but they literally make the world possible.

Being unseen by many has nothing to do with how needed you are.

We need you, nonbinary friends.

[souphearth]

to lgbtq+ indigenous youth:

just a reminder that you are under no obligation to label yourself according to the western-centric + white-centric labels of gender and sexuality.

lgbtq+ identities existed long before colonization touched our land. You do not have to exchange one type of conformity for another to fit in with other lgbtq+ folks.

If labels like nonbinary, genderfluid, etc feel good to you, go for it!

If two-spirit feels right, that’s awesome! If not, don’t sweat it.

If you have an identity specific to your indigenous heritage, you are under no obligation to translate your complex, nuanced identity into terms that non-natives understand.

You are under no explanation to explain your identity to non-natives.

(ok for non natives to reblog!)

A New Hampshire Republican State Representative anonymously created the “Red Pill” subreddit.

Wow.

[sardonicblisters]

these aren’t just bullshitter dweebs in their mom’s basements trolling the internet, these are men who formulate the way we implement laws and who govern the way we live our lives.

[imamisfittoy]

^^^ Hello, yes, everyone needs to see this. It’s not always a bunch of nobodies trolling around on 4chan. It’s, doctors, lawyers, judges, businessmen, bankers, law enforcement, etc. People who have pulls on society. They literally don’t see other groups besides themselves as human or equal

[blackwoolncrown]

…holy shit like this is bad really really bad but so much clearly so if you’ve ever read the scum that floats to the top of the Red Pill. Like basically he was just outed as the creator of a neo-nazi misogynist pro-rape forum explicitly to recruit online loners and groom them like it’s EVERYTHING we’ve been saying these people do but this is like, the hive.

here’s a source link from local news

hoo boy

here Daily Beast lays out its evidence. of course, anyone who’s been accused of being someone else’s sockpuppet knows that it’s not at all difficult to fuck up this kind of identification, but it seems like they have a pretty solid basis for their claims.

[fatphobiabusters]

Do y'all have any suggestions for feminist, anti-fatphobic blogs/spaces that are specific to men? Even particularly straight/cis? I don't want to detract from the spaces that are generally really good for women or LGBT, but sometimes I feel really isolated from the positive conversations I see here and in other places, and I suppose I hoped you all might know of good places to look. I appreciate this blog, and I am not looking to leave, just kind of wanting to target my needs more specifically.

To be honest, most of the blogs I know that are specifically for men are extremely anti-feminist and don’t address issues in a way that I would consider accurate; for example, they’d argue that men and women are equally oppressed or that men have it worse than women, and not understand how issues of fatphobia relate to oppression. Most are pretty fatphobic, too. 

The only thing I can think of is guys-positivity, which I have seen say a few problematic things (like attacking geekandmisandry for believing in patriarchy), but I hear is run by a woman who wants to help men? I guess? I don’t know.

Honestly, I’m not sure you can find what you’re looking for. I’m sorry. Maybe our followers would know? You could also just follow more fat men like @fumbledeegrumble. 

-Mod Bella 

[geekandmisandry]

Haha, yeah, that blogger used ableist slurs against me for existing and talking about the patriarchy. Someone did message me a positivity blog, anyone know of any?

[living-for-fiction]

I don’t know any blogs specific for straight and/or cis men… @fatmlm is a body positive blog for mlm run by a nonbinary transmasc person, but it is specifically for mlm, not straight guys…

[geekandmisandry]

Yeah, like… I know anon probably means that he doesn’t want to take away from trans men or anything, but wanting a cishet male positivity blog is a bit… Eeeeehhhhhhhh

[fthgurdy]

He did specify ‘feminist’ and I’d bet the other implication is trans-inclusive. He didn’t even say it needs to be a positivity blog.

I don’t think it’s ‘eeeeeh’, honestly, there should be places where cishet guys feel free to talk about themselves that don’t encourage them to blame everyone else, especially queer people and women, but to place themselves honestly in their privilege and toxic upbringing. I think that’s a healthy need and I’d love to see spaces like that, instead of all this meninist crap being the only ‘support’ available.

I mean where’s your dude who isn’t queer and is pretty damn privileged, but conscious of this gonna go if he wants to talk about himself without stealing focus? The patriarchy doesn’t want to hear his honest self-reflections, they wanna poison him again. And they love giving him the idea that feminists don’t allow him to talk at all and completely disregard his feelings.

There’s listening but also there’s talking, and that’s something people need to do, even the privileged ones. I’m not gonna go into PoC spaces and expect to be given room to talk about my issues battling the harm I can do as a privileged white person (tried that once, got smacked :P) . I’m gonna keep listening to PoC but talk to other white people. But they gotta be white people who won’t try to coddle me and say i’m never to blame because racism doesn’t exist. 

So, you know, I think healthy spaces for men who are not disenfranchised in too many ways but are conscious of their privilege are necessary, and I honestly think the anon is doing a good job asking for one. Look at his criteria:

feminist

anti-fatphobic 

where he won’t steal space from women or LGBT people

where he won’t feel isolated and can address his specific needs

Looks fair to me. I hope you find a space like that, anon- or get some people together and make one??? there’s probably (hopefully) more guys like you needing this.

[zywritesporn]

If anyone finds this thing, lemme know.

[fatphobiabusters]

Wow, this lead to some really interesting commentary.

You’re right, and this is what concerns me. Every guy positive space I can think of is anti-feminist, is dedicated to talking shit about women, the lgbtqia community, people of color, etc., and talks about cishet white guys as if they are the most oppressed of all. I can’t think of a space that isn’t like that. 

I agree, given the criteria set by the anon, he wasn’t asking for anything bad. It’s a shame he can’t find this. 

Hm, maybe someone could consider making one?

-Mod Bella 

[lesbianpeachs]

Yes this is something I’ve been talking about recently - how can we expect guys to be better if we don’t think they deserve spaces to be better in and feel like its normal? Spaces that are /for them/ but aren’t chock full of influential behaviors that they want to avoid?

And given the criteria of the question, its likely the asker is fat himself and fatphobia is pervasive no matter what privileges you have otherwise. Wanting a space you can fit in that’s not toxic is normal, and its frankly very worrisome that there isn’t a space for guys like that. Fat guys need encouragement, trans or cis.

I mean there wasn’t even a place for fat mlm until I started that blog!

Boys need spaces to express themselves and be themselves without having to worry about talking over other people all the time, but also don’t have to worry about toxic masculinity and the patriarchy and other corruptive forces.

I mean if I started up a blog that was feminist/anti-fatphobic etc. for guys in general would others be willing to mod?

someone finally figured out the meaning of life

[politicalprof]

So it turns out that a remarkably large amount of the US-Mexico border is defined by the Rio Grande. Like, Texas’s border with Mexico. 

The river doesn’t provide a meaningful barrier to migration: the Amazon it ain’t. But its existence poses a core problem for Trump’s wall that no one seems to mention: where do you put the border wall in relation to the river?

–you could put it on the US side, as we are legally entitled to do, but then the US effectively cedes the water to Mexico. I imagine farmers and ranchers across Texas might not be enthused by this option.

–we could put it in the middle of the river, on the actual border, and magically divide the water in half … if, you know, you wanted to build a wall in the middle of a river, and thought that hydrodynamics were the same as cutting a piece of cake.

–Trump could build it on the Mexican side of the river, take all the water, and commit an act of war by seizing Mexican territory … if the US didn’t mind being a pariah nation and potentially fighting an honest to god war on the southern boundary of Texas. Again.

This seems like something that ought to be worked out before we start building the wall. It’s not a detail to work out later.

Allistic Social Skill #102

Ahh, T-shirts–those magical vestments that have the ability to parade around making statements many of which would get people punched in the mouth if uttered vocally. Allistics in T-shirts bearing text tend to forget the fact that they’re walking around making a constant statement; therefore, avoid responding vocally to an allistic’s T-shirt slogan without first specifying that you’re doing so.
