On one hand, I’m glad that more people are waking up to the atrocities ICE is committing and taking action. On the other hand…..it only happened after white people were killed. Like…killing ain’t new to ICE they’ve been doing this for years y’all except their victims were browner

trans women should not have to be sexy to you for you to respect them. Aaaaaand post

[undeadentropy]

Peak trans woman experience is knowing you can remove the word trans from any sentence about our struggle and everyone will easily recognize it as a true and valid battle against patriarchy. But the moment trans is inserted back and we get radio silence from half the people who would otherwise agree. If we're lucky.

just saw a Reddit post from a woman who had a memorial tattoo dedicated to her childhood friend turned high school sweetheart who died unexpectedly at the age of 20. her new boyfriend said that it’s weird and makes him feel “disrespected” and makes him feel like she’s not over her ex and suggested she should get it removed. the top comment said “it’s fine that it bothers him but he shouldn’t demand you remove it” I just want to say no, it’s not fine that it bothers him and if you find yourself jealous of your new girlfriend’s dead longterm boyfriend, you should get a fucking grip. got beef with a dead kid? mad that your girlfriend still thinks about her prom date who died a tragic premature death? loserrrrrr.

Time Lapse of the Land Taken From Native Americans

via reddit

[jisdu-tsalagi]

I will reblog this EVERY GODDAMN TIME so people can understand how the US government taking more and more land from Natives is nothing new (even the land originally promised after being kicked off their original, sacred lands) and they NEED to be fucking stopped. They need to be held accountable for the destruction of our people not just then but also now.

Interactive Time-Lapse Map Shows How the U.S. Took More Than 1.5 Billion Acres From Native Americans

This interactive map, produced by University of Georgia historian Claudio Saunt to accompany his new book West of the Revolution: An Uncommo

Article linked in the source reddit post :)

Also in turn links to the individual maps used.

This is true

Fact: The greyed out east coat was also taken from indigenous people. It just happened earlier than this time lapse starts.

Another thing about the plummeting birth rate in America is that America is just not a pro-natalist country. No paid maternity leave. No paid paternity leave. Children are treated like burdens. Why the fuck would you have a kid if you’re seen as ‘flakey’ for leaving work early to go to their kindergarten graduation? When you live in this ultra individualistic capitalist hellscape, there is no room for a child.

The idea that rural communities wouldn't benefit from public transit of some form is so fucking stupid. There was a guy in my hometown who would hitch hike 15 miles to the grocery store because he was blind that everyone knew and knew to offer rides to if they saw him. You know what else would have fixed this, been more efficient, and helped other disabled people, seniors, and people whose cars got repoed?

A fucking bus.

trans people would kill themselves less often if people were nicer to us btw. i could put it in more scientific terms but that’s what it boils down to. just be nice to each other
