Random but do y'all remember Tobi Lou? Was Buff Baby a thing on here? Mr. CBC is a huge fan (he's also a fan of Tobi's sister, the author of Children of Blood and Bone). It's just because he goes platinum in this household, but I don't think I've ever heard anyone get hype about him the way he does.
Teenās organs failing & NO TREATMENT in >1 MONTH
19-year-old Khalil Al Habil's liver and kidneys are failing. Shrapnel damage from the bombardment that killed his baby brother Omar has gone mostly untreated due to a lack of funds and resources. The ill effects of this damage have progressed to the point that the organs are losing their ability to function. Khalil urgently needs 3 rounds of treatment to combat the effects of his deteriorating liver and kidneys.
We've paid off the first round of treatments but Khalil has two treatments that he still needs. The second costs about $1,250 usd, but we havenāt made much progress in more than a month and his condition is getting progressively worse. We need to meet this second goal ASAP!!!
Current: $10,052 out of $10,407 usd (12 May)
Need to raise: $355 usd
Hello, my name is Khalil, I'm 19 years old, from Gaza.
Vetting information linked in the last reblog of this post, courtesy of murderbot
Khalil is in so much pain that he can barely access the internet to contact me.
The lethargy and fatigue caused by his deteriorating organ function only make reaching out more difficult. He is in very, very bad shape, and Iām extremely worried about him.
He has gone so long between sessions that he requires additional medications to sustain him between treatments. With a price of $1500 for the treatment for his failing organs, and $500 for supplementary medications, this is where we are for round 3:
Current: $11,354 out of $12,407 usd (28 June)
Need to meet temporary goal: $1,053 usd
I'm Black American also, but *anybody* being anti-Black can and will catch hands, Latin America is no exception. I have Afro-Panamanian relatives I recently came in contact with. Same boat, different stop. Whether our kinfolk this side of the planet speak Spanish, Portuguese, English, or a combo of all three, what good does it do for me, to not be in solidarity?
Most of us were sent to Latin America. Highly underrepresented/erased in media/art to this day despite creating the traditions/culture/food that we know internationally! It's beautiful seeing more Afro-Latinos take back what's owed, be center stage, and heard.
Tis why I can't stand that diaspora war shit. We all out here speaking the tongues of our colonizers!

rest in peace eryka caldwell. she was a 41 year old black trans woman stabbed to death by her boyfriend. she had so much life left and yet it was cut short by this man. i hope the world can be better for trans women of color (especially black trans women), sooner rather than later.
(edited to put emphasis on the fact that she was black and that her murder was a result of transmisogynoiristic domestic abuse.)
Family in double crisis
In addition to 15-year-old Nourās ongoing health issues, Nourās sister Noha recently developed a severe stomach ulcer due to an infection induced by drinking unsanitary water. This ulcer is causing Noha extreme pain and digestive issues, and if it is not treated very soon, will lead to internal bleeding. This ulcer has gone untreated in order to allot more funds for Nourās ongoing nebulizer treatments, but it has progressed to the point of literally debilitating pain and serious complications. Letās raise the cost of treatment ASAP so Nour can continue nebulizer treatments and Noha can live her life again!!
Current: $4,927 out of $5,290 usd (28 June)
Need: $363 usd

"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s
can white trans women stop using the term lynched. Yall do not know the history behind that word. It is not transmisogynstic to call that out. Thank you.
"everyone should get more aromantic" can appeal to tumblr's sensibilities but I genuinely think everyone should also get more asexual. I don't mean everyone stop having sex, what I mean is
Sex is not essential. You can live without it. Full stop.
Not having sex isn't shameful or a sign of failure. It also doesn't make anyone boring.
You are not entitled to having sex with anybody and nobody is entitled to having sex with you.
Sex is not what makes someone an adult.
Nobody's worth is defined by how much sex they have or don't have.
Sex is not equally important to everyone.
You can have fulfilling and happy relationships without sex.
You should only have sex on your own terms, not because you feel like you owe it to someone, or because you feel like you'd be incomplete without it.
Know your boundaries around sex and be firm about them. Know how to respect other people's boundaries.
The previous point also applies when it comes to discussing sex. If someone doesn't wanna talk about it or hear about it you have to back down.
Anything can be sexual but not everything has to be sexual.
Firmly convinced the world would be a better place if we started treating sex the way we'd treat any other mundane preference in life, like what kind of chips a person likes to eat with their lunch.
seeing Black and Asian communities fight online especially gets to me because half of it is just white man's racism that benefits neither side. we're literally doing the racists' jobs for them when we have more in common than with our systemic oppresors.
The fucking amount of times fandoms not understand the nuance of dating and having sex while being in the aro or/and ace spectrum drives me nuts bc a lot of times itās treated like an afterthought in fanworks OR used as a gotcha to dismiss ships ššš

fr fr fr!!! spitting facts, homie
as someone whoās on the aromantic spectrum, i have dated before. i just feel little romantic attraction, regardless of the person. sure, thereās a droplet of it in the dynamic, but what makes me date someone is like āi could picture myself being weird and old withā lol :3 i often have moments where iām romance neutral and romance repulsed. itās called a spectrum for a reason!
Genuine question, why is āas a white personā bad? If Iām voicing an opinion about racism, I thought itās important to clarify that Iām white so that people are aware and can call me out if I say anything biased.
It's also important to not make yourself the center of attention when people of color are describing their experiences. It's not that you're clarifying you're white, the issue is when people of color make a post calling out racism and then white people who want us to appease their guilt are like "as a white person i've NEVER done/knew about this" and it's like. That's not... helpful? We don't really need to know that š Sometimes it's better to be an active listener than to want brownie points for seemingly not being racist. If it's the latter and you didn't know that was racism at all, that's not great either because you SHOULD know that if you're someone who who says they want to unlearn their biases against marginalized people. I think sometimes, people just want to chime in and are unaware of how they come off, but other times, it feels pretty defensive.
black tadc fans: "please listen to us. Goose, Glitch and the VAs have a history of being racist and there's a pattern to the racism here"
white tadc fans (who have never experienced racism towards them): "erm acktually that's not racist! you're racist for saying that!"
like be fr please. i know most of yall are 15 or whatever but you're intentionally not listening to black voices and it's really annoying. i didn't say anything for the first bit about it because i wanted black voices to be in the center.
i just can't stand it anymore, especially since yall are in my comments defending them

āRappers only talk about their money, cars, and clothes!ā
Why might someone from a group of people that historically have been denied access to wealth, now brag that they have it?
āRappers only talk about sex!ā
Why might someone from a group that have historically been denied sexual autonomy now brag about their sexual escapades on their own terms?
āRappers only talk about drugs and crime!ā
Why might someone from a group that historically have been denied the more legal means to acquire wealth and had drugs forced on their community talk about their experiences with it?
"rappers only talk about-"
STOP! tell me how many rappers you can name. and then how many songs of theirs you can name. then write me a minimum 5 paragraph essay on the history of hip-hop and the various subgenres of rap.
