Destination: Imperfection

Formerly @mellomaia. Thought it was time for a change. Black/bi/born in the late 20th century/leftist vegan/environmentalist/feminist/trans women are my sisters. I do my best to write and tag image descriptions when I can. when I can't, I mark posts as #undescribed. If you write image descriptions, I will follow you automatically.

[lakemojave]

Stand by your sisters. No one else will.

[lakemojave]

Even the ones you don't like.

People die on the job every summer. Remember that water and shade breaks are crucial when working in the heat, and calling emergency services for signs of serious heat illness (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, headaches, dizziness, clammy skin, confusion, agitation, slurred speech, high body temperature, rapid heart rate, etc.) is entirely appropriate. If you’re afraid to call 911 for reasons such as being undocumented, you’ll need to get very familiar with how to prevent, recognize, and treat heat illness. If you are symptomatic and not allowed a break, water, or medical treatment, walk out. No matter how broke you are, your job is not worth your life.

i appreciate that "do it scared" is something that exists as a phrase and it has personally helped me a lot. however we must understand the difference between scared as in "i'm nervous meeting new people/what if i fail" and Scared as in "i might get hatecrimed"

[thewrithingsouth]

"do it scared" to someone nervous about trying painting for the first time is reasonable if trite, "do it scared" to someone talking about how they feel they can't exist in public without potentially getting murdered makes you sound like a massive prick.

The biggest commie LARP is being a western communist who believes the western masses are irredeemably anti-revolutionary. Okay then why are you a communist lol

People outside Gaza think that the war against us is over, and that we are living in peace and tranquility, but they do not know that the war is still ongoing.

The bombing, death, hunger, and displacement do not stop for a single moment. What has actually stopped is the world's interest, questions, and follow-up. We do not know if they have grown tired of us and become accustomed to our tragedy, or if the media has deceived them and contributed to misleading them!

Be the alternative media, do not forget Gaza, do not get tired of it, and do not stop talking about it, for whoever does not care about the affairs of people is not one of them!!

[freepaleatine955]

Don't overthink helping families in Gaza; participation makes a difference in their lives, and donating makes a big difference.

[freepaleatine955]

Here are some families from Gaza who need help.

Help Karim's family from here

i think one of the worst things the left wing internet ever did was push the idea that oppression is basically a virtue, and being oppressed is a sign of your morality. it has made it like…impossible for some of you to hold the idea that most people are privileged in some ways and oppressed in others. AND a lot of you seem to have it in your mind that terrible people cannot be oppressed, and that oppressed people cannot do terrible things, which is a dangerous rhetoric to hold imo.

poor, disabled, in need of support

Hi, I'm TDF and I'm physically disabled and living under the poverty line. My income adds up to about 1/3 of the local minimum wage.

I am stuck in bed almost all the time because my physical health is so bad, and I have expenses nondisabled people don't.

Currently my biggest concern is food and toiletries, including a new mouth guard.

I'm very sorry to keep begging, and I feel awful about it, but I need help.

Please, can any adult who is financially secure help me with a dollar towards groceries, or even a whole box of protein bars?

I'm extremely sorry to ask, and I appreciate your understanding!!

would any financially secure adult be willing to help me with $5 towards food this weekend?

[thatdiabolicalfeminist]

Hi I'm so sorry to keep asking but would anybody be willing&able to help with $5 towards food or a fan?

The weather is starting to get warm here again and we had to throw our fans out last year due to asbestos contamination.

[thatdiabolicalfeminist]

thank you to the person who sent $50! and the person who sent peanut butter and a 4 pack of tp!!

I'd love to get both food AND a full size fan this weekend, if any financially secure adult feels like making my Pride wish come true? 💖🥺🙏🌈

do you ever think about how much time disabled people are forced to spend managing other people’s moods in order to survive. if someone we rely on is in a random bad mood we have no choice but to placate and soothe them in order to get our basic survival needs met bc we can’t meet those needs alone. and if someone is mad at us directly then you can imagine what kind of bind we’re left in. have you ever needed time apart from someone during an argument? well if you’re disabled and dependent, get ready to have to ask that angry person to give you a bath and help you transfer to the toilet.

sometimes I think about how far we still have to go with consent

my worst relatives try to sneak meat or meat products into my food despite the fact that I'm a vegetarian

my ex's brother gave his mother an edible without her knowledge and when she got freaked out and paranoid they laughed, and people I've told that go "yeah that's shitty but it's just weed"

when I go to the doctor and ask them to describe what they are going to do before touching me they get frustrated

when I ask a friends of a friend who is a small influencer to keep me out of frame in videos they film for social media in public they look at me like I've pissed in their cereal

idk man, we've got a long way to go.

i have said this on twitter then deleted it but there's nothing as exhausting as reading gringos discover imperialism over and over again and still not get how it works. how it extends, how deep it goes and rots us under it. how it's the worst of USA extending over the world, ideologically and physically. how all that matters is conquering us and leaving us subservient as cheap labour, as a fountain of resources. some of yall only see ''foreign country'' as some homogenous mass to be either saved or destroyed.

when on sunday argentina chooses the fucking fascists and y'all see us in a couple months getting gassed on the street because we don't want our oil, water and human rights sold away, i hope your gullible asses won't go ''they deserved it, i read on twitter they're all nazis''

When the average heterosexual family man complains about his family not respecting him, it is almost always because there is absolutely nothing about him to respect and he has made no effort to connect with any of them and he considers the slightest pushback or lack of affection a sign of ‘disrespect’. When the average heterosexual family woman complains about her family not respecting her, it’s usually because her 14 year old son keeps calling her a bitch and throwing things at her while her husband laughs. The difference is so fucking stark.
