"if Jax is a trans woman she's still an abuser so she's bad representation so the show is transphobic" you're an idiot. you want your blorbos to be perfect ideal angels, I want my blorbos to be realistic, nuanced, flawed human beings, we are not the same. I LIKE that she's messy and fucked up and problematic, I think it's a realistic depiction of how a lot of repressed and traumatized trans women are. I think the show goes to great lengths to explore how and why she is the way she is, and to evoke sympathy for this kind of person. it doesn't excuse her actions but it does make them understandable. and I think the fact women like that deserve sympathy is an idea worth stating and worth shouting. yes she's a bully and she hurt everyone around her and that may never change. she still deserves sympathy.

Nivrah Bein HaShmashot

nivrah bein hashmashot, or נברא בין השמשות, a Hebrew phrase meaning “created between the suns,” is a term for queer Jewish folks. it refers to the time between the sixth and seventh days of creation, during which g-d created several important things with the connecting theme of not fitting into binaries. nivrah bein hashmashot is an umbrella term for Jewish queerness and queer Jewishness; it can be used by queer Jews of any queer identity and any Jewish denomination! it was first coined here by @magnetothemagnificent, alongside the term ovrim, another umbrella term for queer Jews; for more detail on the thought behind or meaning of either term, check that post out!

color symbolism:

purple: “between”-ness, existing outside of boundaries and norms

dark blue: Jewish faith, culture, tradition, and community

sky blue: optimism, hope, and passion

white: finding joy and euphoria in both queerness and Judaism

spring green: engaging in the act of creation

gold: the richness and diversity of queer and Jewish communities

burgundy: past, present, and future queer Jewish resilience and survival

note: recently, @sillyjewishqueer also created a nivrah bein hashmashot flag, as well as an ovrim flag, both of which can be found here. my nivrah bein hashmashot flag is not meant as a replacement for their design, but rather as an alternative/companion flag for anybody who wants to use it! i actually designed this flag a few months ago, originally just for personal use; i didn’t post it until i was inspired by them to join in on sharing this term and what being nivrah bein hashmashot means to me!!

[yell-hound]

(^ @/fageleh’s tags) oh my g-d it’s so cool to me that my neat lil flag is gonna exist in the real world someday! if/when you make it, would you be willing to tag me or dm me photos?

I just had to block like FIVE suggestive bot accounts under the names that are like "[Russian name][Russian surname]-[four digits]".

They are also often tagged "trans rights". The same country that equates us to terrorists while shaking hands with the talibs is creating porn bots to generate engagement from chasers and unassuming queers.

in 2026 let’s start actually noticing and taking seriously the true scale and impact of jkrs transmisogyny and how she’s been funneling decades of royalties and ip owner cash directly into anti trans lobbying thats been making the uk hell while gradually worsening conditions elsewhere through impacting the zeitgeist

The largest mass shooting in American history was a hate crime against gay people. Don’t ever forget that.

[exmellivorinae]

June 12, 2016. Putting a date on this for when it gets reblogged months from now by people who think the post is about something from 30, 40 years ago.

[butch-reidentified]

I am a survivor of the Pulse nightclub shooting, having grown up in Orlando and just turned 20 a month prior. If you didn’t know, there were several families who refused to claim the bodies of their relatives due to their sexuality. One family even had their relative’s name removed from the memorial. Murdered by the same hate with which their families reject them in both life and death.

Many, many people celebrated Pulse. We were told we deserved it. That it was God’s punishment for our sin of loving the same sex. We are sent messages like these I received in 2018:

We in the community often call the victim count 49+ to include the survivors who couldn’t live with the pain.

The event was never officially declared a hate crime or targeted homophobic attack and is rarely listed as one in databases.

At our vigils for those slaughtered, Extremist Christian groups showed up to protest, holding signs like this:

ID: Me kissing a woman I was casually seeing in front of an angry looking man with a “Sodomy is Sin” sign.

Please understand how much more than just a mass shooting this was. We are still to this day harassed and told we deserved it by some.

This year was the sixth anniversary. The first couple years I received dozens of messages checking in on me on 6/12. Year 5 got enough news coverage for people to think to reach out to me. This year it was my therapist, the woman I kissed in that photo, and a couple of other gun violence survivor friends. People are forgetting already.

With the 7 year anniversary <2 weeks away, I figured I’d reblog this

so that's how Ea-Nasir's wife died

hey remember when people said we gotta keep talking about this and then two days passed and it just went quiet. anyways

[cosmikazie]

due to recent (and frankly ongoing as far as this website is concerned) events

saw an "ICE joins the pride" post break containment and appear here. puked.

And it's not only about capitalism. Yezhov was a gay head of NKVD. Thiel and Altman are gay tech billionaires. Yes, that makes Palantir and OpenAI "queer-owned" businesses.

AUR has been hit with malware

Per the CachyOS subreddit:

"As the title states, the Arch AUR has been hit by a huge malware infection campaign over the last couple of days. There's an earlier post referring to alvr. That's not the only package it's hundreds of them, many of them Aur packages average people would install like apple-music-desktop.

I don't have the full details of the scope of the malware campaign. I know it's a credential stealer so it steals ssh keys and browser login info and apparently has rootkit potential.

This was widespread and targeted orphaned packages. Aur for some reason allows other people to take over existing projects.

The bottom line is if you used the aur over the last couple of days you may have been infected and the problem with taking over orphaned packages I believe remains. I personally would not use the Aur for the foreseeable future, and ideally not at all. It's a security risk."

There is a script that you can run on your machine to detect if you have a package that is known to have been infected which you can view here. I have also linked the subreddit post here.

Just download it, make it executable and run the script with sudo and let it run, it will tell you what it found once it's complete.

Pls reblog to signal boost!!

[proxmox-official]

Per the thread again: As I was interested in more in-depth information some can be found here, as well as a preliminary analysis of the malware:

Users can also run the following to check for malicious packages:

every time i think about overwatch's orientalism i go a lil more insane. 5 japanese characters all of which are tied to a very stereotypical mythologized version of japan. they're some of the few explicitly magical characters. all of them are part of clans and lineages and shit. every map that takes place in japan is an orientalist fairy land with idyllic old looking villages with shrines and gates and cobblestone and zero utility poles in sight. this game is so incredibly racist

[pocket-deer-belly]

what's interesting to me is that no other asian characters get this treatment. mei is a climate scientist or something. diva is a gamer. lifeweaver and symmetra are scientist. something about japan specifically makes the overwatch devs get a boner for the image of a permanently ancient magical other, japanese characters are simply not allowed to be contemporary
