new pinned post just for reference if you think that trans women calling out trans men for being misogynist or qpoc calling out white queers for being racist is "infighting" you are the problem! anybody can be sexist or racist and just because you are a part of a minority group doesn't mean you're incapable of being a bigot.

and please don't be violent/crass on my posts :-(

[fancy-feast-official]

i deleted the original reblog from last night of a post about pocket-deer-boy's (admittedly poorly worded) post about trans men having privilege over trans women because actively engaging in the bullshit "transandrophobia" discourse is actually causing me mental health issues. but here are some sources on just. general gender stuff.

masculine women are not punished as harshly as feminine men -> mcguffey & rich, "playing in the gender transgression zone"

uneven gender policing affects trans women and their access to gender-segregated spaces far more than it affects trans men -> westbrook & schilt, "doing gender, determining gender"

trans women (especially trans woc) are more likely to experience violence than trans men (though trans men are also targeted by transphobic violence) -> hrcf 2024 epidemic of violence report; evje, fluit, & von soest, "transgender people experience more discrimination than cisgender lesbian, gay, or bisexual people"

trans men experience male privilege -> silbernagel, "re-entering the patriarchy"; abelson, men in place (i couldn't find a pdf for this book but this one is definitely worth searching for one)

i also remember reading an article once that used the phrase "specter of the fag" referring to cis men's fear of femininity and how that affects effeminate men and trans women, but i cannot for the life of me find it. if someone knows what i'm talking about please lmk so i can update this list

edit: thank you to @reedsaloser for looking i love you <3 the "specter of the fag" i originally read in the abelson book, and comes from pascoe's book dude, you're a fag (link to the pdf in the comments)

70% Drop in Levels of Forever Chemicals Observed in Seabird Eggs Tracks Regulatory Success

These pescatarian birds are directly exposed to PFAS contamination due to the island's position near the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Over fifty years of data show a peak in PFAS (also known as "forever chemicals") content in seabird eggs in the 90s, followed by a decrease as regulations went into effect. The most recent findings show a 70% decrease of most common PFAS.

While continued vigilance a regulation is needed, this data indicates that regulations are working to reduce PFAS concentrations in marine ecosystems.

[sattarehi]

Yes!!!! I did a review of literature on PFASs in human drinking water about half a year ago, and there is a lot of really good progress! Please celebrate this, please don't let this solution be forgotten (at least so quickly) as the ozone layer or acid rain.

We are making genuine progress! Producers are dramatically altering how much they use PFAS and how much gets released in effluent, but also there's a lot better understanding of how to remove PFAS from the environment!

Environmental problems CAN BE SOLVED.

work tomorrow is one of the worst things that can happen to you

[pangur-and-grim]

fairly reliably when someone is mean and weird to you on Tumblr, you can look on their blog and all their recent posts will be about how unhappy they are in their interpersonal relationships and/or how frustrated they are that their creative venture hasn't found success. and it's like ohhhhh okay, I get it. you're clawing at other people because you're actively drowning. my sympathies, that sucks, but I'm not a lifeguard so carry on.

My Pregnant Wife Is Dying Before My Eyes, and I Cannot Save Her

I am writing these words with a completely broken heart.

My wife is four months pregnant and suffering from severe malnutrition and a critical lack of medical treatment.

Every day she becomes weaker, and she often loses consciousness because of hunger, exhaustion, and the lack of medicine. I live in constant fear every moment… terrified of losing her and our unborn baby.

We also have a small child who cries constantly when he sees his mother weak and suffering, and I stand helpless, unable to protect her or provide what she needs.

The war destroyed our home and left me unemployed with no source of income. I already lost my mother and my older brother because of the war, and now all I have left is my small family. I am terrified of losing them too.

My wife’s treatment costs around €850 every week, in addition to the food and nutrition she urgently needs during pregnancy, and I am completely unable to afford it. We are living through unbearable days of hunger, fear, and helplessness, and I feel like I am watching my wife slowly fade away in front of me.

Please… do not ignore my plea.

Any help, any donation, or even sharing this post could help save my wife and her unborn child.

Please help us get the treatment and food we desperately need before it is too late. We are living through a real humanitarian disaster and we desperately need your support.

Please do not leave us alone in this suffering.😭

Please donate whatever you can urgently !!! We only need €850 euros !! If 85 people who saw this donated only €10, we can save my wife! Do something, please!

[save-motasems-family1]

Please don't leave me alone in this cruel world. Please don't let my wife die. Help me, do something, I beg you, please help me. 😭

happy pride month

[star-angel-selkie]

this one kinda hurts when i see it every pride month. im glad to see an art piece of mine still circulating, and with nearly 100,000 notes too! it just hurts that im separated from it. everyone in the notes thinks im gone. im still here, but my potential community and connection is lost because im forgotten in place of the art. yeah, my deactivated profile does add to the profoundness of what i was saying, but i am still removed.
