I saw people do this & adopted it myself, and it’s actually been super helpful—set a daily reminder to do your arab.org click of the day. It has been said ad nauseam at this point, but if each person in the thousands of people who engage on palestine posts clicked on this, we’d be raising thousands in revenue towards humanitarian aid. Don’t think your one little click is unnecessary. It adds up fast—but only if you actually do it.

A lot of people asked how they can help if they don’t have funds to spare. This is the most passive way to raise donations towards Palestinian aid.

ok so this is another long shot but a few years ago there was a twitter post (in japanese i think?) that had measurememts for how to make this book stand thing out of cardboard that you could use to double up books and use up more space on shelves

back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore

if it comes down to it i can just take one apart and get the measurements from there but i would be very grateful if anyone happens to have the original post or something similar??

[megacarapa]

don't mind how long it's been since i made this post, anyway i realized that i don't even need to take one apart to get the measurements when i can literally just unfold it and refold it /FACEPALM

so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!

this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together

and then in the end you put it together like this!!

and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy

EVERYONE START GETTING MORE USE OUT OF YOUR SPACE NOW!!!!

The Blue Button: A selfless choice. If humanity works together, everyone survives. However, if too many people press Red, you die.

The Red Button: A self-preserving choice. It guarantees your survival regardless of what everyone else does

You are trying to move into an apartment with your favorite Pokemon. The building is strict about which Pokemon are allowed inside but it’s super affordable. How hard do you think it will be to convince the landlord to let you keep it in the building?

Easy as can be, perfect apartment dweller

Might take some convincing

Basically a coin flip

It will be an uphill battle but I might be able to, while saying goodbye to my deposit

No increased rent, deposit or argument could convince any landlord to let us in

OKAY FINE. Spin for a kink. You’ve just noticed this in the tags of an e-rated fic you were going to read.

How are we feeling?

YES this is IT this is my THING

Oh fun!

Sure, why not

Not really my deal but I can go with it

Nah, not feeling it

NOPE.

Hello! Do you have any books/book recs where there’s a significant use of neopronouns? If you’ve already answered this you can just redirect me to an old post ty <3

yes! here are three adult titles:

Awakenings by Claudie Arseneault

Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe

Màgòdiz by Gabe Calderón

one ya title: Meet Cute Diary by Emery Lee

and one middle grade title: Camp QUILTBAG by Nicole Melleby and A. J. Sass

thanks for writing in!

[redgoldsparks]

Thank you for shouting out Gender Queer! Here are a few other adult sci-fi fantasy novels I've read with neopronouns:

Provenance by Ann Leckie (has a secondary character with e/em/eir pronouns) a standalone in the Imperial Radch series

The Galaxy, and The Ground Within by Beckie Chambers (has a main character with xe/xyr pronouns) a later book and kind of a standalone in the Wayfarer series

Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse (has two secondary characters with xe/xir pronouns) the first book in the Between Earth and Sky trilogy

[harrowfuckinghark]

Neither of the main characters use neopronouns but there are multiple characters who do in A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland.

Same goes for Winter’s Orbit and Ocean’s Echo if I remember correctly!

And there are lots of neopronouns in A Memory Called Empire (again if I remember correctly)!

[queerliblib]

some more great options here!

[ymfingsteadilyon]

It's not the focus of the story, but the setting of Time To Orbit: Unknown has three standard genders, all of which are represented among the main characters.

Don't worry that would never happen.

If gothic horror is something you're interested in, the Sworn Soldier series by T. Kingfisher has a main character who primarily uses ka/kan pronouns.

Spin the wheel. Tomorrow, you wake up in this country with, however implausible, a passport for both it and your home country. How do you feel?

This is awful; I’m booking a trip home immediately.

I really don’t like this; I’ll stick it out briefly, but I’m heading home soon.

This isn’t great; I’d rather be back home, but I’ll manage until I can get back.

Being here isn’t better or worse than being in my home country.

This is pretty nice; I’ll stay a little while, but go home eventually.

I love it here; I’ll be staying a long while before I go home.

This is amazing; it’ll be a long time before I go home, and I may stay here.
