Public outcry works. Protest works.
Keep raising hell!
Bothering the fuck out of your elected officials works.
Call and write and call and write and call and write. If they're already in favor of what you want, let them know you stand with them and they have your vote. If they don't stand for what you want, tell them they've lost your vote (even if they never had it) but they can sway you back if they [ACTION YOU WANT THEM TO TAKE].
I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-Nazi ones, which is great, but I felt like we needed one to show our support for the Jewish community.
all you goyim I follow - I see you reblogging this and it warms me.

Brianna Ghey was a 16 year old trans girl who was murdered on Saturday 11 February 2023 in the UK.
and as you can imagine, there are some dickheads who are dismissing this tragedy, cheering on this crime, and celebrating at this loss of life BECAUSE Brianna was trans.
this is what transphobia leads to. this is what happens when irrational hate for trans people, because these bigots seem to forget that we are PEOPLE, remains prevalent in wider society. this is what happens when the basic human right to live as happily and healthily as possible is discarded and overstepped for the sake of remaining in the repressive and oppressive status quo that benefits no one but the privileged.
you lose the ability to see other people as people. you lose your humanity, all for a moment of feeling superior over someone whose life is different to your own.
to every bastard who doesn't see an issue with her murder because she was trans, i hope you choke on a chainsaw.
you can donate to a verified gofundme for her family here
please be the hot new trend for next year. Please
I wish i could do this without isolating myself completely :(
If you want to do this I can give you some advice: 1. Have two devices. First one should be a device that has internet access. Laptop, tablet, mobile, whatever you prefer and can budget, we know it’s usually a smartphone. Second one is a flip-phone or a jitterbug. Only purposes for the second device are: calling your grandma, calling the ambulance, calling your friend if they are late. 2. Choose when you want to use second device only. Try setting goal for yourself. Example goals may include: “I will not take my smartphone when I am hanging out with my best friend” or “I will leave my smartphone in the locker during class”. Set yourself a reasonable goal you can archive. If you cannot leave your internet-connected device try to turn it off. If you are not able to have two devices, leaving your smarthphone or turning it off might work too.
3. Manage time you spend using your smartphone. Try to limit number of apps you have. Keep least possible amount of chat apps you can (discord, messenger etc.) Try limiting social media apps you have on your phone (Instagram, TikTok, Reddit). 4. The best way to choose apps you want to keep is choosing only those that are useful (e-mail, notes etc.), help you connect (discord, slack), utility/hobby (very broad category but examples can include Duolingo, fitness apps, Spotify etc.). Decide which “general social media” apps you want to keep by deciding which ones spark joy and which ones are time suckers. Or make you feel bad.
5. If you have access to a computer, keep a habit of using it to visit social media on desktop. It reduces compulsion to check your phone.
6. Manage notifications. Make sure that your phone doesn’t wake you up just so you can doomscroll. REMEMBER: Ditching smartphones is not about coming back to the 90s. It’s about reducing harm that algorithms and social media can do to you.
Been wanting to get on this for a while. Might make some small fixed-frequency walkie talkies for me and the lads as well.
The worst thing you can do, as someone who has recently realised they are transfem, is to let terves and transphobes convince you cis women will never accept you.
I was told that when I came out everyone would reject me. That I would find myself isolated from the world, and from other women especially, who would react to me with horror and revulsion.
In reality, within the first months of coming out, in no particular order:
My sister's reaction on my coming out was, "Right, so I have a sister instead of a brother. Cool. I'm taking you clothes shopping tomorrow."
A friend, when she learned I am a woman, immediately invited me to her women-only, girls-night-out birthday party the following week.
Another friend, when a friend of hers expressed doubts about my gender, immediately shut them down and reaffirmed I am a woman.
I went camping with a group of friends, and we had two tents, one for the boys and one for the girls; I was unsure as to which I should enter, to which a girl friend responded by grabbing me and physically dragging me inside the women's tent.
In the women's bathroom at a movie theatre a random woman, whom I'd never seen before and haven't seen since, stopped me as I was going into a stall, to warn me there was no toilet paper in there, because she'd just used the last of it.
All of these, and more, some from friends, some from complete strangers. All within a few months, as a trans woman who hadn't started medical transition yet, and was very visible as being a trans woman.
I've had some people reject me, true, but the vast majority, including almost all cis women, accepted me as a sister with open arms.
Cis women are cool. It's terves who are bigots.
I needed to see this today
Nothing but love for my trans sisters. Trust me when I say it is our joy and pleasure to welcome you, to help you, and to accept you as women. The amount of young trans women I have accompanied as they used the right bathroom for the first time, the right locker room, the right clothes, and the right names, have shown me the joy and community that can come from womanhood. There is grief, as there is in all changes, but there is joy, too, and we feel it with you.
Terfs are people who have lost sight of that human connection, and given in to fear and misogynistic beliefs about gender and gender roles. While the struggles cis women and trans women face might be different, the forces that oppose womanhood oppose us both. To stand apart only makes us all weaker.
i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:
1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online
2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links
3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)
4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)
In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)
you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)
reiterating that you absolutely need an adblocker for these sites (to avoid malware if nothing else), and i HOPE you already have one installed bc using a (free) adblocker for daily browsing tremendously improves your internet experience!
I recommend installing uBlock Origin whenever possible (Adblock Plus is also popular). Also using Firefox, bc they're a nonprofit that gives you privacy and lets you fight ads, while Chrome is owned by Google; they just want to mine your data and sell ads.
How To Block Ads:
for Desktop, click this uBlock Origin link (works with most browsers). install, restart browser, good to go!
for Android, open Firefox and go to "3 dots menu > add-ons > add-on manager > enable uBlock Origin." (this also blocks youtube ads within firefox!). this doesn't work on Chrome, because Chrome hates you, but there are some ad-blocking apps in the play store that will give you varying results.
for iOS, it's trickier, bc Apple also hates you. here are some recommended apps in the app store. (some of them keep premium features behind a paywall, bc again Apple hates you. but there are options.) If those aren't enough, Firefox comes to the rescue again with the Firefox Focus browser app, which includes a powerful built-in adblocker. I can't find specifics, but try clicking the 3 dots menu and fiddling around to customize your preferences.
in conclusion: a combination of Android, Firefox, and uBlock Origin makes for the best browsing experience. But no matter what system/browser combo you use, please install at least one adblocker. you will thank yourself every damn day. it will give you a faster, safer, and much less aggravating experience as a user of the Modern Internet (derogatory)

I couldn’t sleep until I drew this
imagine you start watching this new show and it’s a silly little show about space set in the future then they announce the next season so you wait excitedly for five months and finally it’s here… you all sit round the tv and suddenly one of the main characters who is known for being unemotional starts going mad because of “biology…” and you slowly realise that he needs to have sex or he’s going to die so the other main character risks his entire career to help him out then they start ‘wrestling’ on the sand and the one going through the mating fever ends up killing the other guy which ends the fever but now he’s depressed because he just killed his best friend but wait he’s not actually dead the unemotional one is overjoyed everything’s fine and then they go back to work like nothing happened… you look at everyone else sitting in stunned silence thinking “did any one else think that was a little… yknow” then you accidentally start modern fandom and shipping culture
very much enjoying the tags thank you everybody
Wait till they all actually watch it and see the unnecessary titty window situation.
[ID: A collection of tags that read:
#THAT was the plot?? #and they wanted us to believe the guy didnt have sex with the unemotional guy?
#star trek is so so gay
#ive seen some posts. but i did not realize it was….. that gay.
#only halfway through did i realise that this was star trek #i thought at first op was watching some freaky ass gay scifi and i was fully prepared to try find it #but lo and behold #ive already watched the damn show
#star trek #are they… you know… 💁🏿♀️

#what the fuck is star trek about. End ID]
Based on some of the first-hand accounts I’ve read, fans already had thoughts in that direction but were very cautious about expressing them, because, you know, it was 1967 and they were nice suburban ladies. They referred to the idea of Spock and Kirk being in love as The Premise. One little housewives’ fan club in California wrote to Leonard Nimoy in the hiatus between seasons one and two, and he was very pleasant and agreed to come and meet their group and tell them about being in the show. They didn’t say anything about The Premise directly, in case it offended him, but of course they expressed their enthusiasm for the rapport between Kirk and Spock and how curious they were about Spock’s background and inner life. And Nimoy, who was working on season two by that time, said that he couldn’t give away any specifics but there was an episode coming up that would focus more on Spock’s personal life and the planet Vulcan, and they were naturally delighted and intrigued.
So when they sat down to watch season two, episode one, “Amok Time,” they were primed for an important Spock episode, and then that played out before their widening eyes and I think it’s safe to say it blew their beehives clean off their heads.
#lmao#star trek#lest we forget the literal binders of loose leaf paper with HAND WRITTEN FANFICTION being handed around#thank trekkers for fan fiction you literal babies
…And this is exactly how some of us got onto the path toward getting into SO MUCH [GOOD] TROUBLE later in our lives. Handwritten fanfic… pages and pages and PAGES of it. Tens and hundreds of thousands of words of fanfic. In looseleaf binders.
Just remember: “The first million words are for practice.” :) After that… all bets are off.
And it’s also worth bearing in mind that Amok Time was written by Theodore Sturgeon. Sturgeon was a bisexual writer (according to his friend, gay author and academic Samuel R Delany) who wrote “The World Well Lost” (1953) which may have been the first SF story about homosexuality to be published in a mainstream SF magazine, not to mention gay-coded stories like “The Saucer of Loneliness”. Ted Sturgeon was a brilliant writer about love, and he knew exactly what he was doing in Amok Time. Although he might not have known what it would spawn.
And if you are curious to read some of his fiction there’s a Selected Short Stories of Theodore Sturgeon out there, and the novels The Dreaming Jewels and More Than Human appear to be in print.
holy shit neil gaiman is here everyone stay cool
Poster spotted in Chicago
City folk when they visit the sticks: Wow, I can see the stars, the air is crisp. I hear the call of the birds and insects. This song is ancient and I am At Peace.
Me, a sticks folk, when I visit the city: *licking a sidewalk* Yessir, I can tell ya right now y’all’s dirt ain’t no good fir turnips. And what’s more, yer chickens look a might strange *points at a pigeon that’s eating chipotle from the garbage*
The black areas represent the remaining natural dark skies in the United States
I’ve been in the middle of the ocean at night and now live in texas and it is so hard to explain to people that no, they have not ever seen the night sky. It is so hard to explain to people that what they think is a proper night sky is fucking pathetic. A disgrace.
People talk about how you can’t see stars in the city and yeah, that’s true, but their concept of “seeing stars” is being able to make out orion’s belt.
So, so few people have see the sky in all its glory and it’s not sad. It’s a fucking crime. Seeing a perfectly dark night, no clouds, not a hint of light pollution? That’s a fucking religious experience.
The sky the vast vast majority of us grew up with is not the sky that inspired us to look up. It is not the sky that inspired constellations. You can’t even see most constellations.
Your ancestors looked at the night sky and said “surely, that is where the gods must live.” And you might be lucky if you can see hardly more than a handful of stars.
The sky is full, fucking FULL, of stars, and you’ve never seen them.
WE DID IT BABYYYYYYY

Nuclear fusion in general was achieved in the 1950s. The recent breakthrough announced today is in so called "cold fusion": Fusion in temperatures that aren't hydrogen bomb levels. The breakthrough being that scientists made more energy out of the fusion than they put in to maintain the reaction.
FUcking yessssSss
