Just for anyone still thinking the civil rights movement was “SO long ago!”
Fred Hampton would be 51 this year if police hadn’t executed him at age 21.
Ruby Bridges is 65.
MLK would be 91 (he was assassinated at 39).
Malcom X would be 95 (he was assassinated at 39).
Claudette Colvin (the first Black woman known to refuse to give up her seat AT 15) is only 80.
Mary Louise Smith is 83.
Fred Gray is 89.
EMMETT TILL WOULD BE 79 (he was murdered at age 14 because of a white woman’s lie).
Ask yourself how old your grandparents are. Hell, how old your PARENTS are. How old are the people in most government seats right now?
Miss me with that bullshit of “It’S sO lOnG aGo. Things are better now.” These people and so many more who aren’t able to be here would be distraught at what is STILL fucking happening today. To say things like that is just willfully turning your head away from the injustices that we see today! That’s the that on that.
“How old are people in most government seats right now?” <-!!!! THIS!! People don’t fully digest THIS! MANY many people in the most powerful positions in government WERE alive to hate MLK. They were building early political careers in opposition to the Civil Rights movement, actively oppressing Black people in lower positions of government, fighting to keep segregation alive, etc. And they’re STILL doing it!
was anybody going to tell me women’s hockey players have to buy their own sticks or was i supposed to find out by myself?

Real Live Trans Adults
After Leelah Alcorn’s suicide, Oakland-based comedian Red Durkin started the hashtag #RealLiveTransAdult (top image above) to show transgender people afraid of coming out that there is hope and an abundance of possibilities.
Hundreds went online to share their stories (above). This is no longer news, but these tweets are so powerful and the message so important, I’ll share them anyway.
what a deal.
And then your hip would break because their medical staff is garage and they don’t have the same regulations as over so no you’re back to square one you fucking tool
that is american propaganda used to justify their lack of a working healthcare system. it’s not true and even if it was what good would having slightly better healthcare do if it’s only accessible by the richest members of society?
You absolute fucking clown. Lmao
Damn. Spains healthcare sure isnt garage like they said
God Americans are so fucking brainwashed like seriously imagine thinking a first world country in Europe of all places is medically inferior, the patriot brain rot is strong
Not to sound like a 90s shallow prep, but how you dress can affect your self esteem, and putting energy into wearing things you actively like and projecting an ideal of yourself through fashion instead of seeing clothes as things you have to put on out of obligation helps.
It also can give you a sense of control over your appearance that you otherwise wouldn’t have lmao
I bought a cape because of this
this post is written in a humorous tone but this is the realest shit.
two years ago i wore baggy sweatpants and flip flops every day because i was depressed but then decided eh to hell with it and bought some black edgy emo clothes bc thats how i always wanted to dress but never got a chance to and it was only then that i realized that the sweatpants flip flops look was just keeping me in my depression funk. i didnt like the way i looked and i didnt identify with the clothes i was wearing and it only made me feel worse.
i then went through my entire wardrobe and got rid of everything that made me feel that way.
now i have multiple outfit possibilities requiring different levels of effort but on days where putting on clothes just seems like a project i just have to put on black jeans and a band t-shirt and i can still feel good about the way i look which is a really good way to start off my day.
i can not recommend this approach to clothing enough.
Can I just say this is the healthiest mindset related post I have seen on this sight and I want every single person on here to read this
I haven’t been posting much lately but here’s something to make up for it 👀
Friendly reminder to check your breasts while you’re just sitting there scrolling the internet, then reblog so your followers do the same. Two people I know were just diagnosed within the same week.
these are the things that need spread. not fucking ribbons and the words “breast cancer awareness.” we know it exists. just knowing it exists isn’t going to help much.
for everyone who has breasts or is rather busty in the chest area (because men can get it too and not everyone who has breasts is a woman)
Quick reminder for my followers with boobs! I checked mine and I’m all clear.
Also amab people as well! While it is rare, people who are amab can develop breast cancer too, because even though it’s thin [in some cases] you still have breast tissue, just not mammary glands, which is what produces milk :-O
Actually, dmab people DO have mammary glands and CAN produce milk. Basically, all mammals have mammary glands and are capable of producing milk, with the exception of a scant few. - mod BP

A man has built Ogo, a hands-free wheelchair for his paraplegic friend (video)
Holy shit this is awesome.
For any wheelchair users following me!
-FemaleWarrior, She/They
every few months I forget about this and then see it again and it is always one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
So this time I looked it up, I wondered how to get one and how much it cost. Turns out it was a bit hard to find, actually, and that’s because it’s no longer called the Ogo, it’s called the Omeo.
They are pretty advanced as a product now, in terms of accessories, color options, etc (they have an off road conversion kit and stuff!). They are kind of expensive, tho not necessarily when compared to other wheel chairs, which cost anywhere from a couple hundred bucks for a shitty one, to like 4k for a high end electric one. An Omeo will cost you just under 2k.
Here is their website, if you want to learn more: https://omeotechnology.com/
ONE MORE TIME FOR ALL MY WHEELCHAIR USERS!!!!
I’m practicing a little with these two~

El senador Ricardo Monreal está impulsando reformas a la Ley Federal del Derecho de Autor y al Código Penal Federal para adecuar la legislac
Hey yeah this is very important.
Amongst some of the things than could happen are:
• Downloading, and distribution of PDF files would be illegal, as well as photocopying books.
• Downloading files for academic investigations would become illegal.
• English, robotics, and engineering workshops would become illegal.
• Costs in education would increase.
That last one is particularly important because sadly, Mexico doesn’t have a great public education system, thus, many people have to enroll into private schools and most of them are very very expensive. Sadly almost half of the population here lives in poverty, in consequence many children aren’t able to go to public schools. let alone costly private schools.
• Amongst the things that would turn illegal too, would be electronic repairing businesses, and only those businesses with authorized licenses could work.
• It would be illegal to add components to electronic devices, such as RAM memories, better processors, amongst others, regardless of the fact that said components were bought legally.
• Maintenance costs would increase as it would be illegal to fix your own electronic devices, even if it’s just a small touch up.
If things weren’t already bad, the way we use the internet would be affected.
• Access to internet would become more expensive, new taxes would be added to platforms as well as media.
• Internet providing services could block the access to downloading images, music, videos, books, pretty much any content that could be found on the internet, including memes.
And last but not least.
Internet censorship.
“If someone points out any post or publication that violates authors rights, said post or publication must be hidden, eliminated, or disabled without previous notice, proof, or any jurisdictional order coming from the internet provider (…)”
Thus anyone, corporations and organizations, could demand for anything to be deleted and there wouldn’t be any reason to stop them as they would protect themselves with alleged authors right accusations.
Overall, our government looks forward to silencing us, keeping us quiet and not allowing us of freedom of speech.
This can have awfully consequences, as we would be silenced for expressing our political views and content would be manipulated to fit a certain political narrative.
369 votes were given in favor to this law, 0 against it and 1 abstention.
I am asking for everyone out there to please share this. My future and many others would be greatly affected by this law, many people could lose their jobs and fall deeper into the ever growing line of poverty that Mexico has.
We can’t allow for the government to keep us silenced and censored.

The petition is in Spanish, but it’s still easy for anybody to sign! If you scroll past the statement, the top blank you see for is your full name, the second blank is your email, and the third is for a comment if you want to add one. The fight for freedom doesn’t end with country borders! Come, let us aid our fellow humans!
The funniest part of discourse on here was queer people HYPOTHETICALLY talking about having queer cafes where queer kids and queer people having problems with alcohol,loud sounds and very bright lights could hang out and some people were getting extremely pressed over those HYPOTHETICAL CAFES which didnt even EXIST and writing paragraphs about how those HYPOTHETICAL cafes were the epitome of homophobia and sex shaming and anyone even TALKING about them should be mocked and harrassed at large. Such a fucking funny time
Queer cafes and queer bookstores exist. Like, they’re not hypothetical. They’re not common place, but they exist. So it’s stupid that people were saying it was homophobic. Like nah, they’ve been around.
I know the more about Tokyo’s queer scene, since I’ve traveled to Japan and am studying Japanese. They have a whole district in Shinjiku that has cafes, a bookstore, and other shops. Yes, there are also a lot of bars and clubs. The point is, there are other things, too. It’s nice that this place exists, especially since Japan still has a lot to do in terms of queer rights.

On a mission to empower India's transgender community, one painted palm at a time
Kalki Subramaniam writes over at CNN:
When I finally came out as transgender to my parents, I was taken to a psychiatrist to help with my gender dysphoria, or the distress caused by the discrepancy between a person’s body and their gender identity. He asked me to draw how I saw myself in the future, so I drew a beautiful girl with a long skirt, hat and a big smile. He was taken aback, but he eventually helped me gain my family’s acceptance.
This is the dilemma faced by teen children with gender dysphoria. Unable to bear the bullying but terrified of disappointing their parents, they fear going to school and they fear dropping out, too. If they “out” themselves, only a few are accepted by their parents.
After completing her master’s degree in journalism, she started a magazine called Sahodari (“sister”) in support of the transgender community. She also founded the Sahodari Foundation for transgender art and culture.
As she points out practicing art helps us “heal emotional injuries, by providing a safe opportunity for self-expression and shaping one’s identity.”
CNN has more.
