As a trans person there comes a point where u have to radically accept ur situation. Living in an “I wish I was cis” mindset is not only living in denial but is also damaging your self esteem. At some point in a trans lifetime u need to look at yourself and realize “I am trans. I have a female/male/nonbinary body. (Meaning the gender you ARE, not your assigned sex). Cis opinions of me, my body, my presentation, my pronouns, etc, don’t matter.” And u have to accept YOURSELF as trans.

Dustin Shomer Penis Man/Dustin Shomer Legal Fees I'm broke and have lost my job. I need help with legal fees to defend myself against Tempe PD. I've got bad

Penis Man has fallen :( 

Dustin was assaulted by Tempe police, 25 SWAT officers raided his home to apprehend him. They put not only Dustin’s life in danger but everyone else’ in that complex as well. He was then completely denied medical attention despite signage explicitly instructing detained persons to ask for medical attention if necessary.  

“I just spent the last 24 hours in Tempe and Phoenix police custody for spraying ‘Penis Man,’” Shomer wrote. “They raided my condo and vehicle and swarmed my entire complex in west Phoenix with 25 heavily armed SWAT officers, and pointed a silenced assault rifle in my face.

“Anyone with any doubt who the bad guys are here … be certain it is the City of Tempe, City of Phoenix, and police forces valleywide. There is no excuse for pointing an AR-15 in the face of a non-violent offender.”

Shomer added in further posts that he spent a night at Maricopa County’s Fourth Avenue Jail following more than five hours in Tempe police custody, during which time he was given “nothing to eat.”

Tagging the front door of Tempe’s municipal building may have been the final straw for authorities.City of Tempe / Facebook

He wrote that he was “told I wouldn’t receive medical attention after requesting it, even though it was posted on the wall to ask if desired. I was having a panic attack, cause they put a fucking assault rifle in my face (that’s illegal, both denying medical attn, and excessive force).”

A lot of you reblogged the funny post about his “art”, so please help boost and support his GoFundMe! He is collecting $10,000 for legal fees. 

Arizona police have a brutality problem- with several AZ cities leading the statistics on officer-involved shootings in 2018 and 2019. Every 5 days, someone is shot by police in Arizona. Dustin is very privileged that he didn’t become another statistic, but he needs our help now to support his legal battle. #ACAB

I saw y’all raise $2mil for Team Trees, now let me see some of that love towards Make Rojava Green Again’s reforestation campaign (currently 82% of the way to its goal!). It is a fair bit more expensive than $1 per tree, but that’s because this is a self-directed effort by the independent Kurds towards reforestation (which is more than just “planting trees!”)

Rojava is an autonomous area in Western Kurdistan, within what is called Northern Syria. They have maintained independence since their revolution in 2012, and have been the main driving force for completely eliminating ISIS from Syria. Rojava embodies direct democracy, anticapitalism, self-determination, feminism, and environmentalism, built on the philosophy of Murray Bookchin. They have been facing attacks from the fascist, genocidal Turkish state since the Trump regime pulled troops out of the region and implicitly invited Erdoğan to slaughter the Kurdish people

Please give them your support! If you can’t contribute, signal boost!

One of the unexpected benefits of being in software development is that I’m basically immune to imposter syndrome on account of it being painfully obvious that nobody else in my field has the slightest idea what they’re doing, either.

Boozhoo (hello), my name is Ken, I am a disabled Ojibwe artist from northern Wisconsin. I am writing this post because I am having a hard time making ends meet and any donations I could possibly receive at this time would be greatly appreciated. Recent events have left my bank account depleted and my cupboards bare, I have some food but it will not last and I still do not know how I will cover all the utility bills.

I do have PayPal, that is really the best way to donate at this time, the email I use for that is: [email protected], or you can click here.

[baapi-makwa]

January 13th update: spent the beginning of the month in the hospital and now I’m back home with an oxygen machine and bed rest orders, short on food, $50 short on the utilities bill, and a $50 water bill, any help is greatly appreciated.

[baapi-makwa]

Stuck at home still on O2 machine, haven’t been able to get to the food shelf even, $50 and I can order in a big box of assorted food, anything helps, miigwech (thank you).

[baapi-makwa]

Caught up on January utilities bills, February is right around the corner though, and I’m still stuck with this big loud machine making my air for at least another month. I’ve been having to rely on some relatives to pick me up fresh things, ordering what I can online. Chi miigwech (big thanks) to those that have helped.

[justsomeantifas]

it’s wild that people think k-12 schools could actually teach you how to do your taxes when they fucking change literally every single year which is why when you have money you generally pay someone to do them for you?

otherwise you just go on turbotax or something which also varies so greatly between people and the change of times that telling you to go to turbotax could be a grave mistake??? depending on your income or what decade it is.

teachers dont even know how to do their own fucking taxes they get software or pay people for it. taxes are intentionally so convoluted theres no way our piece of shit education system could teach yall how to do it

especially when folks crying about being incapable of doing their taxes also are here whining about learning basic algebra which shocker you need to know in order to do your taxes ... hell you need calculus to do your taxes

you need a shitton of math and financial knowledge and legal knowledge to do taxes to a point where people get degrees and yearly certifications to do them.

[justsomeantifas]

basically idk how some of yall think our garbage public education system could teach you to navigate shit that takes masters degrees worth of knowledge and regular recertifications every single year to do

... when yall think learning algebra wont help you because our school system cant even teach you that adequately.

[langblr-o-kebek]

I am a tax economist and I cant do my own taxes. People ask me to do their taxes, I cant help. Every year i use software and i think I've done it right, i only have simple returns to do (employment income from 1 source, basic credits/deductibles nothing fancy) AND YET I get mail from the Revenue Agency every year saying "yeah you did it wrong it should look like this," and this is in Canada where the tax code is way simpler than in the US! I am a tax economist and my mom still does my US taxes because I can't figure that shit out.

The dumbest thing is, the government (US, Canada, any major developed government) has all the information it needs to treat taxes for 95% of the population because 95% of us have what we refer to as simple returns. Some countries have gotten keen and will mail out prefiled tax declarations- basically sheets of paper with all of your tax information i.e. this is how much the government has recorded you've earned, this much has been deducted from paychecks for state taxes etc, therefore we have calculated that you owe xxx$. And if the info is correct you do nothing and if its incorrect you fix it and mail it back. This hasn't taken off in the US because of lobbyists. They want taxes to be complicated, if taxes are complicated then you hate them. If you hate them, you won't vote for tax increases and will lean towards conservative fiscal policy. All this despite the fact that over time these prefiled declarations save money in administration costs, increase government revenue from having more returns and fewer mistakes, and help prevent tax evasion. They can even increase tax returns. But we dont have it because of conservative lobbyists. Great.

It's also easier to argue for and hide loopholes in a massively convoluted system.

The Marvel Juggernaut: With Great Power Comes Zero Responsibility by Megan White

[docholligay]

I could not have articulated this but it is SO GOOD

[breelandwalker]

Paula White out there babbling on about breaking curses and hexes sent against the President.

Bitch, if those hexes were arrows, they’d blot out the sun.

And we’d continue fighting fascism in the shade.

Get fucked.

[breelandwalker]

I mean, I wasn’t GONNA hex anybody this month, but now…

I mean, when the universe points out a clear example of evil, gives you a hammer and says, “What are you prepared to do?”

Well gee, kids, sometimes a witch just has to be the instrument of cosmic justice.

Scuse me while I fire up my cauldron.

[upthewitchypunx]

Did you see her latest nonsense about wanting “Satanic pregnancies” to miscarry? Real pro-life wishing for that, right?

That being said, I think the president is good and fucked with hexes. How about we work on opening the eyes of the ignorant followers who believe his horse shit.

[haleghest]

Can we set a date please

[breelandwalker]

I suggest the day of closing arguments for the impeachment trial.

Or next full moon. Whichever comes first.

I’ll start putting ideas together. Y’all let me know what you come up with. We should hit the problem from as many angles as possible, including saturation of social media with news updates and debunking of misinformation campaigns. (Because you know they’ll be out there.)

The trouble with cognitive dissonance, which appears to be the GOP’s current forte, is that there are two basic reactions to objective facts which disprove their beliefs. They either absorb the new information and start changing their minds, or they double down on their bullshit and insist on untruths because the prospect of being wrong or changing is just too painful.

So we’d have that to deal with.

Plus there’s the issue of free will. This is going to require some semi-advanced mechanics.

[ei-len]

This might sound weird at first but hear me out: Glamours.  Think about it, a typical glamour doesn’t actually subvert free will, or even attempt to. It affects perception – the affected perceiver is still completely free to choose how to respond to what they perceive, though a well-crafted glamour can be extremely influential. They don’t have to be about beauty. And they’re not so advanced as to be obstructively difficult for even fairly inexperienced witches to pull off.  So. Fling glamours at the obnoxious idiot himself, to amplify his most obnoxious qualities in the perception of all who observe him. Can’t hurt to hit his cronies too.  Gift glamours of respectability and reasonableness to those who stand against him. Cast glamours of ringing-true at objective-fact reporting sources, and glamours of ringing-false at those who spread lies. Just, glamours. They have so much underutilized potential!

[breelandwalker]

……………This is GENIUS.

Glamour magic is pretty simple and like ei-lena says, it’s all about perception. Visualization pushed toward manifestation. And, conversely, the removal of barriers to clear perception as well.

WHO WANTS TO EMPEROR’S-NEW-CLOTHES THIS SHIT.

[upthewitchypunx]

Yes!
