"I was a child from a country which the country I lived in had oppressed and colonised. That I spoke their language because they had ruined my own. And because of that, because I inherited one language and spoke another, I would always be an exile; I would always be engaged in an act of translation."
i bring a sort of “you should maybe interrogate your so-called ‘preferences’ to make sure they’re not literal textbook examples of severe unconscious bias” vibe that my woke gay friends dont really like
Two things this website hates and that’s women and gay people who are gay in the “I have sex with other gay people” way and not some sort of thinly defined yearning and homophobic joke based system largely applied to brothers and male coworkers in early 2000s television shows. Three things this website hates actually sorry silly me but this website does hate black people.

I am raising funds to support my elderly parents who are currently living in extremely difficult condition… Mohammed H needs your support f
Hello friends, 💔
My mother’s condition has become extremely critical, and her health is getting worse every single day. The doctors prescribed 4 urgent medications she desperately needs to survive, but because of our situation, we were only able to buy 1 out of the 4 medicines.
We urgently need to raise $460 within the next 5 days to buy the remaining treatment before it becomes too late. Watching my mother suffer in pain while I stand helpless is breaking me completely inside. She is exhausted, weak, and fighting every moment just to stay alive.
Please, I am begging you with all my heart, help my mother. 🙏 Even the smallest donation could save her life and give her another chance to recover. If you cannot donate, please share this message and pray for her. We truly have no more time left. 🤍
I am Doha, 29 years old, a mother to a baby girl named Wateen Al-Rouh, who is 8 months old.
My daughter never got to know her father… he passed away before she was born, when I was in my sixth month of pregnancy. Since that day, I have been facing life alone, doing everything I can to protect my child and provide for her.
I lost my home and my job, and with the difficult conditions and rising prices, I am no longer able to provide even the most basic needs for us. Every day is a new challenge as I try to stay strong for my little girl.
I am writing these words in the hope that they reach kind hearts… any support or even sharing my story could make a big difference in our lives.

I think the reason I still enjoy tumblr is that even though this all still pisses me off, I know that anything that makes me mad on here is 100% earnest. It's not ragebait or engagement farming, y'all are actually just that stupid sometimes
Doctors said that activists who were captured at sea while attempting to bring aid to Gaza were beaten to the point of severe muscle breakdo
Two Korean activists who were detained by Israeli forces after attempting to break the siege on Gaza and deliver aid recounted abusive treatment by their captors to local press on Thursday.
“After fully armed Israeli soldiers searched my body, I was dragged alone to a dark shipping container. The lights switched on, and whenever I looked at the light, they hit me in the face. Whenever my head was bowed, I was forced to look back up at the light,” said Kim A-hyun, 28, an anti-war activist who also goes by the name Haecho.
“[The Israeli soldiers] had tactical gloves on. After I was dealt a second blow to my cheek, I could hear a shrill sound in my ear. Following the third, I started to bleed from my nose and started to gag,” she said.
Kim Dong-hyeon, another activist who had participated in a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip, testified to similar conditions.
“My hands were tied, my body was searched, and I was continuously pummeled and kicked as I was being taken away. My wrists kept bleeding on account of having been bound so tightly, and I couldn’t feel my hands. My entire body, including my head and my legs, was in excruciating pain,” he said.
“When I started hyperventilating, I began to think that it was very likely that I might die,” he went on.
The two activists claim that they suffered serious health issues, including muscle damage and hearing loss, after being assaulted during their detention.
...
Kim A-hyun was diagnosed with a perforated eardrum as a result of the beatings she took to the face. Jonathan Victor “Seungjoon” Lee, a Korean American who was arrested alongside her, sustained a broken rib and other injuries after being tased.
“We are witnessing symptoms of rhabdomyolysis, which are usually apparent in victims of industrial accident cases involving crushes or those who have been severely injured in traffic accidents. The activists were released on Wednesday, but if that had been delayed by even a day and they had been subjected to more beatings, they would have suffered from severe harm,” said Dr. Lim Sang-hyuk, the director of Green Hospital.
The activists gave detailed testimonies of the abuse and torture they suffered during their arrest and aboard the prison boat.
“As soon as we boarded the boat, they pointed guns at us and subjected us to body searches. They hurled racist insults and curses at us the entire time. Male-passing people were tasered, while women and people perceived as female were subjected to sexual abuse,” said Kim A-hyun.
something I’ve noticed in fandoms lately is a lack of… object permanence? perspective? Just reacting to each episode/chapter of something as if it’s final & whatever plot line they dislike is the status quo forever? like…… have a tiny bit of patience
I kinda understand because a lot of franchises lately have ended in shoddy and poorly thought out ways, but tbh either have some faith in your fav show or just write fanfic
this combined with people reading a boatload of fanfic between seasons then coming back to the show & getting upset that their headcanons aren’t canon… disappointment is a normal feeling but I also feel like people put themselves through unnecessary stress watching shows they clearly do not like
Eryka Caldwell is a back trans woman who was murdered by her partner in her apartment last Sunday, and the story is getting a fraction of the attention that the murder of Juniper Blessing did. The police had already been called several times about her partners violence before her murder and did nothing, and she deserves the same outrage and mourning as Juniper got, and every one of our murdered trans siblings deserves. Trans women of color are more likely to be the victims of murder than any other group of queer people, and they need our solidarity, protection and support.
Caldwell’s boyfriend, 38-year-old Jonathan Fernandez, has been charged with murder.
I knew "dykebreaking" kinks (aka lesbophobic corrective rape kinks) were common but it was a heavy blow for me to realize it wasn't just mostly cishet men and their girlfriends/wives. It's literally from everyone, and people within the LGBT community feel especially entitled to getting off on That and like they get a pass because they're not cishet.
Remember in like 2018 when it was very, very popular here to insist that unlike trans women and bi women, lesbians (unless it's TMA lesbians) didn't face any material violence as a specifically targetted group?
As if Latine lesbofeminists and South African lesbian activists hadn't had to come up with the terms "lesbicide" and "corrective rape" respectively for a reason.
