fyi for those in Phoenix Arizona: stay away from Target because the Phoenix Police still won't arrest this dude despite it being illegal to declare intention of violence like this 🙃
HEY GUYS/GALS/THEY'S I literally hate being the person asking people to reblog something and I scroll past posts that do, but I have been crying tonight about this, because I remember the Pulse shooting where LGBTQIA people lost their lives and the idea of another attack like that terrifies me, so please, because Phoenix has over 1 million people, just reblog? sorry.

Something to know about Facebook’s new “screening tool,” and advice/info that can most certainly be used outside of this specific situation.
For spoonies, the biggest deal is how this data, if leaked, could affect you in professional and insurance spheres.
Here’s Emily’s full thread, which discusses the details of the tool, and here’s Isobelle’s full thread, which extrapolates on specific dangers.
In the end? It’s another data grab. Data is worth money; don’t give yours away, especially not to Facebook.
PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST this shit is scary.
And if you think racism ended already, at what point during this did it end?
[text id: when you enslave black people but they gain liberty so you go to war but you lose so you segregate black people but they don’t disappear so you lynch black people but they form self defense squads so you declare those terrorist organizations but their calls for equality gain popularity so you shoot their leader but they don’t disappear so you settle them in houses full of toxic lead but they don’t all die so you train cops to kill them instead but they protest it so you ask why they keep complaining /end id]
I will never stop noticing that the people I know who take the biggest risks with their careers are the ones who were gifted literal entire homes by family.
“A Blessing Before Putting Up a Queer Bumper Sticker, Flag, Poster, or Other Symbol of Queer Visibility
Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech ha’olam asher natan lanu hizdamnut k’doshah likbo’a simlei nir’ut k’virit.
Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Power of the universe, who has given us a sacred opportunity to affix symbols of queer visibility.
– by Rabbi Ahuva Zaches, 2019″
From Mishkan Ga’avah Where Pride Dwells: A Celebration of LGBTQ Jewish Life and Ritual, edited by Rabbi Denise L. Eger
I have this book and it made me cry so many times
What Native people say about the use of sage: you can use sage, but you cannot smudge as nothing you are doing (waving sage around) is actually smudging. Smudging is a ceremony and you are, we promise, not smudging. Please buy sage from either us, or someone who sources the sage from us. White sage may not be considered endangered by the US government but corperate sourcing is making it difficult for us to source sage for our own religious purposes. Let alone to sell it.
What white people hear: never use sage ever, don’t ever buy it, don’t own it, don’t even look at it.
Look, y’all. There’s a couple of facets to my talk today.
1) Yes! You can buy sage! You really, truly can! Buy it from either native sellers (go to a powwow! Eat our food, buy our stuff, watch some dancing!) Or buy it from a seller who sources the sage from native people. Pick one. And no, buying it from 5 Below doesn’t count.
2) you CANNOT smudge. This isn’t just you “shouldn’t”— this is a YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF SMUDGING. Waving a sage stick around your doorways IS NOT SMUDGING. It is smoke clensing. Smudging, depending on the tradition and tribe, could easily have dancing and drums involved. You, as a white person, do not have the cultural BACKGROUND to even know how it works. At all. Period.
3) please, for FUCKS SAKE, stop making posts here on tumblr where you tell other white people about cultural appropriation and what they can and cannot do. Please stop, your license has been revoked because none of you bother to get the facts right. We native people are FULLY CAPABLE OF DOING IT OURSELVES. Consider instead: a) reblogging our posts where we talk about it! We’re here! We have made posts!! b) Making a post that states what we said and then LINKS BACK TO US. Screenshot with a link if you must. Stop centering your own voices in these conversations. You are already centered in everything, stop centering yourselves in a native space.
I’m tired of this nonsense, y’all.
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk ™

hey so, as a man who works with other men, here’s a quick relationship tip: if he doesn’t much like cats, that might be just a personal preference. if he hates cats, if he tells you he hates cats as soon as he hears that you have a cat and love your cat, he’s an asshole. he’s telling on himself.
every guy i’ve ever worked with that makes a point of telling me how much he hates cats as soon as i mention that i have a cat and love my cat, is always someone who is regularly cruel for fun and who laughs in the breakroom about the mean things they do for fun to their girlfriends and children.
I wish I could articulate all the ways this makes sense and why it makes sense and stuff but it’s just like… something something misogyny something something resentment of creatures that don’t need you and don’t hang on your attention and approval all their lives.
My dad gave me this exact same advice when I was a kid. “Anyone who hates cats is a control freak and an asshole.”

Hey guys! If you could help a college kid out and fill out this 3 question survey for me that would be super helpful! Thank you!

Do people not actually know what’s happening here? Or do conservatives just throw out their brain when they join the party?
This is an N95 mask with a hospital mask over the top. The N95 mask filters out particles. It protects the person wearing it. It has an exhale valve, so people who aren’t assholes (and know what they’re doing) wear another mask over the top to protect other people, in case they unknowingly have COVID-19. Anyone who’s been to see a medical professional in person this year would have seen them wearing exactly this combination of masks.
This is the mask combination worn by someone who knows their science and cares about the health of the people they come into contact with.
It also allows for the top (less hard to get and more disposable) mask to be switched out regularly while keeping the N95 on consistantly, which helps prevent germs from being spread even more!
