Hey can we queers please remember that the rural queer experience has unique challenges thanks

[mythicalcoolkid]

Coming out is different when you know if you come out to one person you risk the whole town knowing. Coming out is different when religion is entwined in your entire community. Being queer is different when you can't trust that your doctor or therapist will stay confidential. Being queer is different when conversion therapy is subtle and normalized. Transitioning is different when there aren't gender clinics or gender therapists for 50 miles. School is different when other kids are put at risk by being seen with you. Can we stop acting like there aren't queer people living in rural areas and start supporting them

Eat when you’re hungry

“But it’s late at night-” eat!

“But it’s the middle of the day-” eat!

“But I’ll be having lunch soon-” have lunch earlier! Or have a light snack!

“But I don’t deserve to eat” I promise you do, you deserve to eat and feel full I promise you

Eat when you’re hungry! When you’re hungry, you’re sad. And that will just add to whatever else is upsetting you at the time. Even if it’s something like popcorn or a strawberry or toast or meat and crackers or a breakfast bar, eat when you’re hungry!

Eat AND get a glass of water!

On this video and in this environment especially, all the “but actually stealing is bad” people need to shut the fuck up

Those people on the streets are being left to die right now. The people in this video are getting them masks, hand sanitizer, food, and more - the stuff they need to have a better chance to get through this

For fuck’s sake, if you’re going to use law and order to condemn people who are literally saving lives, you are a monster. Would you not do anything to save a life? Or is it just that you don’t see the lives of unhoused people as worth protecting?

[thevictoryfire88]

They are stealing work hours from people and causing more people to be poor cause if this shit. That is what happens so fuck your idiot self. This isn’t Robin Hooding.

[anarchopuppy]

1. That isn’t true

2. You. are. evil. If you’re willing to let people die on the streets during a pandemic in order to get retail workers decent hours, you are a fucking monster and I have no qualms telling you that. Why do the retail employee’s wages matter to you more than the unhoused people’s lives? How many hours would management have to give to their employees for you to agree to put a gun against someone’s head and shoot? If you’re really dedicated enough to the law to leave innocent people to die then you’re fucking soulless and I refuse to try to reason with you

[pianocat5]

This entirely. I’ve worked retail, they never held us accountable for losses due to theft, and honestly how could they? Shoplift, help your neighbors, the whole system is set up to hurt all of us anyway so fight it!!

[its-ino-bitch]

Literally when I was closing for w*l-m*rt electronic section I had, IN ONE NIGHT, 6 PS4 controllers ($60 each), 3 arcade machines ($120 each), and 3 home speaker systems ($500 each) stolen while I was stocking and helping other customers and I never, EVER, was held accountable for that despite being the ONLY person in the department that night. That’s aprox. $2220 stolen in ONE NIGHT, and it affected me in absolutly no way.

Stealing things that you dont need? Wrong.

Stealing from small, local shops? Not only Wrong, but massively a dick move, as this IS the situation where stealing affects employees directly.

Stealing from big-name franchise stores to help yourself or others, ESPECIALLY in times of need? Punk as fuck and totally right, dont let anybody tell you otherwise. They wont notice the shit missing, and even if they do? It wont be significant enough to even *begin* to make a difference to them.

[anarchopuppy]

How did you say “a bunch of entertainment luxuries were stolen on my shift and there were no repercussions to me or any other workers, only losses to the company and regular people getting free luxuries” and then follow that up with “but don’t steal things you don’t need like luxuries though, because that’s wrong for no particular reason”

I really really don’t get this Protestant ethic type of response from people who do support shoplifting, where something becomes immoral simply because it’s frivolous or unnecessary. I see it all the time. Like, yeah, shoplifting is a victimless crime, but only do it if you’re poor for some reason? If you steal something simply for enjoyment that’s sinful, only people with disposable income should have PS4′s because poor people don’t deserve anything other than bare minimum paycheck-to-paycheck misery

Fuck that noise. Steal cute clothes. Pirate video games. Sneak into movies. Yes, it is bread we lift for - but we lift for roses, too

[satorugojjo]

The inherent fucking racism/xenophobia in the “Save Christmas” rhetoric????? They imposed lockdowns twice right before Eid, countless Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist and more holidays went by in lockdown and now that its Christmas it’s somehow more important? People out there telling all of us that our holidays and religions don’t matter and we have to step up for society (which we did btw) are now going “oh no not Christmas whatever will we do??” Now that it’s YOUR holiday you finally pay attention? Fuck off. We could have been careful and ended this months ago but y’all decided to play around until it came to Christmas. The government deciding to not give a shit about Eid but decide to “protect Christmas” tells you everything you need to know.

On Rosh Hashannah it is an OBLIGATION, not a tradition, but an OBLIGATION to pray in groups of ten or more. Any other year, we must pray in person because the use of electricity is not permitted on our holy days.

I had my Rosh Hashannah alone, in my basement, through streaming. It was the first and only time my cat has gone to synagogue with me.

Christians can fucking deal like everybody else

[shofarsogood]

My rabbi's dog barked through Yom Kippur services because she saw a mailman.

We all gave up having a solemn holiday praying for our souls to stay separated and not kill someone.

Suck it up, for once in your lives!

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

Non-Christian people have trouble even getting the time off from work or school to observe their most holy holidays, but y’all are mad that your kids can’t cough on a mall Santa during the height of a pandemic. 

[aroacepagans]

Pagan holiday’s are fun cus no one can figure out if they should preface their holiday greatings with “happy” “merry” or “blessed”

if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right

[funereal-disease]

This post is the distilled essence of everything I believe in.

[howboutthatbreadtho]

Just to add, there will also always be an itinerant part of the population that will be wandering around. Giving people homes is one side of the coin, safeguarding Rambler’s Rights like making encampments and free movement is the other. Providing resources while also making people safer from police violence in general has to be among our goals.

YOURE RIGHT. i deserve it they don’t

[redjays]

to the white people in the crowd: please read this. i don’t demand that you reblog this post, but just take a moment to listen, because this post is all about your ability to listen.

if your post about racism has the words “my fellow white people” or other similar phrasings, then that’s a sign that maaaybe you should just sit back and listen to people of color instead.

posts with the phrase “my fellow white people” often have one key element. the word “we”. “we need to do better”, “we need to speak up”, “we need to understand this”. audiences are a lot more likely to listen if the argument comes with the word “we”, since it identifies a common group between the audience and the speaker. the problem here is that this commonality is whiteness. by stating the word “we”, you establish an “us”, which comes with a “them”. and that “them” is people of color.

there’s a sense of alienation i feel every time i see a post speaking about how “fellow white people, we need to not be racist”. in a post like this, i, a person of color, have been effectively been excluded from a discussion about racism. and just like that, people of color become the subject of a dialogue between white people, and nothing more. quite frankly, it should be enough to just listen to people of color when they say it the first time around. every time you make a post about your “fellow whites”, you encourage a white person’s habit of not listening to people of color, of only caring when a white person says it. why should a white person have to listen to a person of color’s nuanced discussion on racial issues, when there’s another white person saying a more simplified version of that topic in a way that’s easier for them to digest? it all comes down to a white person’s unwillingness to empathize with people of color.

as nice as simple might sound, it is your responsibility as a white person to at least try to understand when people of color speak about racism. a surface-level understanding of racism is not going to help you properly confront the racist biases that have been instilled in all of us since childhood. it’ll only give you a cookie cutter view of the world, where everything is as easy as “racism is bad”, and your duty as a white person is as simple as realizing that you have white privilege. it shields you from the reality that racism is a gruesome institution that starts to erode the psyche of people of color the moment we enter this world. it’s a reality that people of color have no option but to experience personally, so the least you could do is try to understand what we have to say about it.

i’m not saying to never call out racism when you see it. but before you start talking about the nature of racism in its entirety, you need to stop, step back, and ask yourself, “is this post necessary, or am i saying something that has already been said by people of color?” and if the latter is true, then try to boost the voices of people of color instead.

hey reminder that camab/cafab stand for coercively assigned male/female at birth and are used for intersex people who through medical measures (surgery) were forcibly assigned into the male or female gender and sex. don't use it to describe dyadic people. afab/amab are fine for that.

edit: because some people brought this up, yes. all gender assignment is coerced via other means, and no one consents to gender assignment.

the acronym cafab/camab doesnt dispute that. it's just a shorthand way of relaying the fact someone was forcibly medically assigned into a sex/gender. acronyms arent perfect, but that's why we explain. it's similar to how people use the term lgbt while including more than just lesbian, gay, bi, and trans people without saying that outright. it's implied.

please let intersex people have this acronym.

[intersexfairy]

reblog this version please!

[damienthepious]

The difference between a bisexual person and a pansexual person is that a bi person identifies as bi and a pan person identifies as pan and you don't get to fucking tell them that their understanding of their own sexuality is wrong

[damienthepious]

Knew it wouldn't take too long for folks to start clowning. Pansexuality is not biphobic. Bisexuality is not panphobic. Neither is more woke, neither is inherently more inclusive, neither is inherently fucking transphobic. Bi/pan solidarity is it, y'all.

at least tumblr hot takes are written by an overwhelming majority of just weird nerds and teens who don’t hang out with other gays… on twitter you can stumble upon any unbelievably bad opinion and discover it was written by an nbc showrunner who married the ceo of a startup that converts rental properties into oil wells. like at least nobody here has money or influence
