Hunter Schafer had her passport gender marker changed back to M after years of having at as F, and she said the only document not changed was her birth certificate. Implies the agency responsible for passports is cross referencing with other documents and is not just denying new gender marker changes but will start forcibly reverting them to their original marker. God knows what else they have access to but I'm sure it's not pretty.
I need people to understand how serious it can get. And if you only start noticing now and ringing alarm bells, better late than never; but it's also a shame if it takes a white celebrity to sound off in order for people to take institutional transphobia and transmisogyny seriously. Even if this is a notable escalation, it displays a serious devaluing of the violence faced by any invisible transfem, seeing as we are typically the canary in the coal mine. Marginalized transfems of all stripes, nonwhite, disabled, poor, have been begging for people to pay attention and take stuff seriously and it's a disgrace that it's just been met with, at best, performative gestures. We need to keep us safe, and we need to do better to do that.
I need people to understand that all of the "vegan leathers" are plastic. Yes, really all of them. Yes, even that vegan leather that you saw online that prominently claims that it's made of plant waste and is therefore super sustainable.
Cactus leather is "cactus fiber, mixed with various compounds to form a bioresin, which is then poured over a polyester carrier," or, in other words, it's plastic + some cactus material, being deceptively marketed as though it is made entirely from cactus.
Apple leather is "dehydrated apple waste combined with polyurethane," or, in other words, it's plastic + some apple material, being deceptively marketed as though it is made entirely from apples.
Cork leather is "thin sheets of cork which are bonded onto a fabric backing, usually made of polyester, using a polyurethane adhesive" or, in other words, it's plastic + some cork material, being deceptively marketed as though it is made entirely from cork.
Pineapple leather is "pineapple fiber based felt combined with polyurethane," or, in other words, it's plastic + some pineapple material, being deceptively marketed as though it is made entirely from pineapple.
The closest I was able to find to a non-plastic "vegan leather" is mushroom leather, which is made from compressed mushroom mycelium. That compressed mycelium is biodegradable, which is more than you can say about basically anything else on this list, except it's also extremely fragile and falls apart in pretty much any context you'd want to use leather, and so to increase its durability it's usually – you guessed it – combined with polyurethane, which means that while you can make a biodegradable leather-feeling material completely out of mushrooms, almost all of the mushroom leather that you can actually buy is really plastic + some mushroom material, being deceptively marketed as though it is made entirely from mushrooms.
IT'S PLASTIC, FOLKS
IT'S GREENWASHED PLASTIC AND WE ALL NEED TO STOP FALLING FOR IT

I beg you to help me and save my first child.🫀
My hope is for my child to come into better circumstances than these.
It is incredibly difficult for a child to be born in a tent, in the worst conditions, surrounded by insects and germs.
Please, help me build a new hope for this small family 👨👩👦

His name is Chris Gatlin. He’s a Black man. AI has, for years, been worse at recognizing Black people. Black activists have been speaking up for years about how police use of AI will perpetuate racism in the justice system.
The victim repeatedly told the police that he was not a reliable witness due to sustaining a head injury from the assault. On top of this, police pressured the victim into identifying Gatlin as the suspect, even though he had already identified two other suspects. It took 17 months police to finally hand over the bodycam footage, which they conveniently forgot to say existed in the first place. The case was dismissed soon after.
I am Hanan from devastated Gaza, married and a mother of three children. Lana, 10 years old, Abdel Karim, 7 years old, and Adam 2. Before October 7, my husband had clothing stores before the war, but the war destroyed the stores. I want you to help me so that I, my husband, and my children once again were displaced dozens of times, and my house was completely destroyed. There is no life, no food, no drink. A tired life. Very🥹🥹. They are my three children. All my life, I do everything possible to protect them from constant bombing. It is very difficult to provide them with food and drink.
This is my house that was bombed, and thank God we miraculously survived the bombing
My husband has lost his source of income. We have no source of income at all. Please help me for the sake of my children. Please, your donations are very important to provide food and drink and protect them from war. I am not asking for much. Donate the price of a cup of coffee. This is not difficult for you. Thank you, my friends.

Note/ A few days ago, I lost my campaign suddenly. The gofundme decided to close it after it had reached $110,000. I only got $44,000 and lost about $70,000. It was not easy after I worked day and night to collect the amount in order to save my family from the war and treat my father. I will now start from scratch and need your support. 🙏🏻💔
Hello again, I am Aseel from Gaza, I live in war, fear and destruction, we have been living for almost a year now but we do not know how long, we have been displaced from our home more than 11 times,
every time I was displaced to another place I prayed that this would be the last, but then came the idea of forced exit to search for safety where there is no safety, we got very tired and our bodies were exhausted, we no longer had the energy to continue, we lived hunger, thirst, cold and all the difficult conditions that humans cannot imagine,
we did not imagine that a day would come when we would live all of this, I lost my family and my childhood home, even my friends are no longer there, I was left alone!! I am looking for salvation from death, I fear death and I dread it, the idea is terrifying to leave your dreams, ambitions and the life you planned for and go from this world, we do not deny death but we do not want to live it now,
I had a beautiful life, suddenly I do not know how I lost my life, we live in a tent that can only accommodate 3 people, made of nylon that no human can bear, just standing in it for more than two minutes during the day is enough to melt you, in addition to insects, diseases and lack of privacy, imagine all this!! Can you live??
In addition, my father had a stroke due to the loss, and my mother also needs care due to chronic diseases and the lack of treatment, and her condition is getting worse. I am the only one who takes care of them. I really fear loss and I do not want to lose, as I lost a large part of my family, my home, my work, and my entire previous life.
Things here are more difficult than you imagined, reality is painful
We wake up every day to the smell of death, I have been surrounded by tanks and helicopters more than 4 times, each time I do not know how to survive? It seems that my death has not come yet
I do not want to die!! 🥺
Please help me save my life and get out of here, life is impossible
Your donation will save my life, it is the only way, hand in hand we can achieve the goal please

Dear friends,
My … Zach K needs your support for Help support a Palestinian family
Hello my dear friends, we were unable to achieve the goal of paying tuition fees, unfortunately, and I contacted the university today, and explained to them the nature of the problem I have, and that because of the war I will be late in paying the fees, and I received a good response from the university, and you understand my situation because of the circumstances we live in now, and they gave me a deadline until 10/1, and the amount now required to settle my tuition fees is $6,552, due to the destruction of banks and the difficulty of transferring, a commission was imposed and there was a shortage of funds to settle the fees.
It has been more than a year since the aggression on Gaza, 🇵🇸
what is the fault of the babies and infants⁉️
A Children's innocence is killed every day in Gaza !⚠️
Also, what is the fault of my 10-month-old baby? He always has a high temperature due to fear, cannot sleep well and cries for long periods because of the bombing and the sound of warplanes.
And This is my son Mahmoud's first winter, she has no winter clothes and the prices of diapers, milk and clothes have become astronomical. that requires a large financial reserve at a time when there is no source of income 🥺😭

I ask you to help my little boy (Mahmoud), to provide for his needs. We are in dire need of you and your support...
