Please do not follow me as a minor unless you blacklist the tag ‘minors DNI’. Please do not dm me if you are a minor. Asks are fine

I tag for the q slur. Not judging anyone for using it as I use it myself. I don’t tag for dyke because anyone uncomfortable with that will not be following me (seeing as its literally in my url)

Generally speaking if I speak about an intracommunity issue related to a specific minority community, you can assume I am or have been a member of that community and am qualified to discuss it. You can feel free to double check if you’re wary.

I’ll put common tags up here once they exist.

To any Jewish followers who are observing Tisha B’av,

If you are fasting I wish you a meaningful and safe fast. If you are observing in a way that does not involve fasting I wish you a meaningful day of observance.

The wish for safety comes amidst widespread heat waves. Please try to stay indoors in cool areas and remember, in cases of Pikuach Nefesh you may break your fast and drink some water!

[goldyke]

Keep Palestine in your hearts as you mourn. As you read the Kinot and the stories of starvation and despair, remember what Israel is doing right now to the people of Gaza

Ok so, I just remembered how people in the comments of a tiktok video were being assholes, and I want to rant now :3

The video showed two wheelchair users at a train(?), who had just arrived to their stop to find nobody was there with a ramp so they could leave the train. One of them blocked the door so it wouldn't close, and this lasted for 15 minutes. The train was stopped for said 15 minutes. There was a button by the door, that said that it'd contact the driver when pressed. It didn't. People offered to go find the driver, and they came back with the news that there were no people in the platform to put the ramp. In the end, passengers had to go out, and place the ramp themselves, before the train could carry on. The wheelchair users had warned they were coming, and asked to have the ramp put there so they could get down. The platform turned out to have workers, they all just ran away because they'd never encountered the situation in which they needed to do this simple task.

Because of the workers' negligence, the train was forced to stop for 15 minutes.

Everyone's comments?

"Why did they block the doors and stop the train? So selfish" Selfish were workers who refused to do their job.

"What if someone had needed to get to their stop urgently? They shouldn't have stopped the train" It wasn't the disabled people's fault, it was the workers who were negligent.

"Why didn't they just wheel themselves down those steps?" They shouldn't have to risk their (expensive) chairs just because people didn't do what they were paid to do.

"If I had been in that train I would've been pissed, how dare you stop it" And you probably wouldn't have even thought about fixing the problem yourself, would you?

"Entitled assholes" Ok I'll leave you stranded in a train with everyone who could help you get down outright refusing to. Let's see who's an entitled asshole now.

If someone fights for accessibility, as much as it might be a bother for you, you do not have the right to be mad at them. If someone fights for accessibility, it is exclusively the fault of a world catered exclusively for able-bodied people.

So next time you think, "hey the consequences of these disabled people fighting for their rights bother me", instead of blaming them for this, help them solve the issue. This way, next time they will not have to fight at all.

Able bodied people, go out and fight for a fucking accessible world if you're not an asshole.

i think it's really funny when formally fat people go "body positivity is a scam because when i was fat i was miserable and i hated myself but now that i'm skinny i feel alot happier" and it's like well that's because society treats fat people like subhuman dogshit for daring to breathe in public and treats skinniness as the pinicle of human excellence, so i think that's the reason you aren't as depressed maybe.

[roadhogsbigbelly]

"formally fat" and "detrans" people have alot in common in the sense they project their insecurities of their former identities onto other fat/trans people and blame them for their misery as if the only reason they detransed/decided to lose weight wasn't because they were relentlessly bullied and oppressed for years by a society that values strict gender roles and beauty standards, and because they decided to crack to those standards they think the issue is with everyone else.

and obviously this doesn't apply to EVERYONE they are like. detrans people who don't project their issues with their identity onto other trans people, or formally fat people who don't treat losing weight like beating cancer, but those aren't the people trending on twitter for "being one of the good ones who overcame' or whatever.

i think most of you would hear the omelas' kid cries of help and say hey, that syntax is very stilted, and he's using the same vocabulary in all of his aggressive demands to not be tortured in isolation, because after all being raised in a dank cell is no excuse for unnatural sounding english, not to mention it's VERY sus that three or four people standing near the gate begging for his freedom who claim to be his family are all from the same district and know each other and are constantly there, don't they have jobs? they are obviously from a complex underground scam ring, ergo this is an AI-generated sexbot, and then walk away patting yourself on the back feeling like sherlock holmes.

do not bring your phone or use a credit card or travel card tied to your identity en route to a protest or action. some alternatives:

don't bring them, use cash (ideal)

don't bring them, get a lift with trusted friends (ideal)

leave your phone/cards with a trusted friend who will not be at the planned action, pick them up afterwards

leave your phone/cards in a secure locker at a bus or train station, pick them up afterwards

prepaid burner phone if you absolutely need one on your person for some reason (you probably don't!)

[mortalityplays]

btw you should also intentionally take the time to learn some basic pre-smartphone skills

learn to read a paper map. it's not hard but it does take a little practice if you've never done it. they work by dividing an area into a grid, so e.g. if you know you're on Brook Street you can look it up in an index, see that it's on square G19, and find the part you need.

get a cheap watch!!! it really makes all the difference in the world to know you can keep track of time without being tied to a phone. even the most basic digital watches let you set timers and alarms

memorise two emergency contact numbers – a family member, friend, or support organisation who could pick you up or arrange support if you're detained, lost, hurt, etc.

carry enough cash to get you across town if you need it

this isn't just for protests, this is for everyday! now you don't need to be worried about losing or breaking your phone, getting it stolen, running out of battery, etc. these four things will free you.

I see a lot of people bringing attention to Sam Nordquist's murder, and the fundraiser for his funeral. What he went through was horrible, and I wish he'd experienced this kind of support in life as well. Thank you to the community and our allies for speaking up for him.

Around the same time the news about his murder was breaking, a Black trans woman was also murdered in my neck of the woods. Her name was Tahiry Broom. Her family says she loved making people laugh, that she was full of energy and confidence. She was only 29.

Her murderer called 33 sex workers, several of whom were also trans women. He had no money on him. He intended to rob and/or kill at least one woman that day, who he felt society wouldn't rally for or miss. She was just the woman who fell into that category, for him.

Please donate to the GoFundMe organized by her aunt, Patricia Bender. Tahiry deserved so much better. She deserved a full life. Her family is trying to make sure she's surrounded by love in death. From the date of this post (Feb. 18, 2025), it's 4 days until her service (Feb. 22, 2025).

Being one of the worst humans alive doesn’t make someone not Jewish. Like every other group, bring Jewish doesn’t somehow prevent you from also being an evil, fascist, war-mongering genocide-perpetrator. This weird push to say that Zionist Jews aren’t Jewish isn’t helping the cause.

[goldyke]

For the hundred thousandth time, not being able to walk without falling doesn’t make Mitch McConnell unfit for office, you all are just ableist.

The reason he’s unfit for office has to do with his lack of ethics and morals, his abuses of power, his racism, sexism, and all his other forms of bigotry, his repeated betrayal of his constituents and the entire country, and the sheer size of the role he has played in bringing us to the depths of fascism. Not because he used a wheelchair this week

[goldyke]

It’s so fascinating how conservative 1930s Jews also supported that fascist regime thinking the antisemitism was just rhetorical hyperbole and now major conservative Jewish newspapers are saying the exact same thing.

What was the point of teaching us about the holocaust every single year in Jewish schools if we weren’t going to LEARN from it? We always said Never Again but then everyone else forgot to remember what Again looks like to make sure it would never happen. What the fuck are we doing?

I said this in the tags, but I’ll say it out loud. The Jewish press opinion piece above at least acknowledges that it was a hate symbol even if they don’t think it means anyone’s am antisemite.

The official opinion of the paper can be found in a piece by the editors titled “Fictive Reality: Musk Salute and the ERA Kerfuffle” in which they claim that the left is trying to “challenge the apparent reality of things”
