Guys, with everything going on, if you need help go to the nearest social worker. I know it’s weird, and trusting people that are apart of the system is shit, but they literally are not allowed to judge you and they’re completely free. And hey, if they’re assholes, you get the cathartic experience of reporting them, because they’re literally not allowed to be. They aren’t allowed to turn you away and they aren’t allowed to report you. They will find you help and resources for free, I promise.

[lilac-masquerade]

I see this going around a bit so here’s some more words of advice. Emergency rooms are also not allowed to turn people away regardless of you have money or not. Places you can find social workers are in hospitals, homeless shelters, community outreach programs, veterans affairs offices, and universities. Even if the social worker you find doesn’t specialize in the help you are seeking, still ask because they can help direct you to where you need to go. You can get food, water, medical help, or mental crisis help. More even. Just remember there are places you can go, don’t give up yet

I am loving the:

Bi-pan solidarity

Lesbian-ace solidarity

And the

NB-trans solidarity!

[the-based-brit]

Anyway, pansexuality is both biphobic and transphobic, thus pan people don't belong in the LGBT community.

Asexuals aren't inherently LGBT and don't belong, either (unless they also happen to experience same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria). Some aces are also pretty homophobic.

As for nonbinaries...well, I'm nb-neutral, but I do find it odd how no one identified as nonbinary before it was cool.

Anyone who says stuff like the-based-brit did is just trying to tear the community apart because we're weaker when we're separate groups.

We are stronger as a united front!

Imagine Grace defined his name as the elegance definition of grace and Rocky spends years thinking how fucking ironic this clumsy leaky space blobs name is.

Until Grace slips out a sentence along the lines of "could you give me a little grace here" and Rocky immediately points out he used a word wrong so Grace has to explain that yeah, grace means elegance but it can also mean mercy sometimes too.

And Rocky has to suddenly reconcile that the clumsy leaky blob that saved his life twice, that almost certainly doomed himself to come back for him, name is Mercy.

Post Iron Lung story concepts

I personally prefer the tree Simon idea because it has this bittersweetness to it yknow? He becomes something beautiful and bigger than himself.

But I also love the creature Simon idea, the first drawing is based of the artwork of @bigfirecreator ! I reposted their art and you should totally check them out!

has anyone noticed that after the porn ban of 2018 tumblr was essentially killed from the mainstream and everyone flocked to other social media sites like twitter and meta. then those sites got enshittified to where twitter became Nazi Central and meta sites had an entire meme around getting “zucced” aka mark zuckerberg himself would ban you for saying a no-no word like fuck. and then the mainstream shifted to tiktok where infamous toddlerspeak sentences like “he got unalived by a pew pew” were born because if you once again say a no-no word like kill or gun or any other word that isn’t corporate i mean kid friendly then the algorithm will bury your post into the ground. and somehow we’ve come full circle and tumblr is now the most bearable social media site because although we can’t have female presenting nipples we can at least talk to each other like adults. has anyone noticed that at all or is it just me and the flaming skull

[elierlick]

A trans woman was just sentenced to 15 years in prison for defending herself from an attacker. She wanted no part in the fight and witnesses described her actions as self-defense. With right-wing media constantly portraying her as "evil" since the incident, the trial was over before it began.

Jaia's prison ID number is 3492500039. The state of New York handles commissary money transfers through JPay. Monetary support is crucial for even a 'short' stay in prison, all the more so for trans women who are disproportionately mistreated by corrections officers and other prisoners, and frequently placed in solitary for their 'own safety'.

JPay offers convenient & affordable correctional services, including money transfer, email, videos, tablets, music, education & parole and p

Also, consider writing her a letter. Or at least checking on her in a prisoner penpal site (there are 4 linked to on the page I will link below) and see how much mail she’s getting.

Re-boosting this because when I first tried contributing to her JPay account, it wasn't available. I can confirm as of Aug 28, 2025, I was able to submit $10 to her account.

Just watched "destroying a world that doesn't exist" and that was the most homosexual tension between two pixel characters I have ever seen. I need updated fanfiction and fanart immediately

[ctrl-shift-alt-9]

The usage of contrasting themes in Iron Lung make for such a compelling story:

Simon is a convicted terrorist but he is polite.

Ava is stoic but she cares.

Their God sees everything but understands nothing at all.

The Cult of Eden is agrarian but violent fanatics.

The Consolidation of Iron is brutalist but they are the ones still holding onto hope.

The setting is high-tech futurism but facing extreme scarcity despite that.

The welding-together of concepts that would otherwise clash and fight with each other impresses me as a literature enthusiast. I see what you did, Mr. Iplier.

It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.

If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.

[apocalypse-angel]

#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products

Likewise, the new all-star audio books featuring people like Keira Knightley, Riz Ahmed, Michelle Gomez, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and more, only seem to have happened because Stephen Fry - who did all the original audio books - said he thought she radicalised and "was a lost cause" (x)

its so fucking funny that nuclear waste is such a contentious topic. like yeah those damn nuclear advocates need to figure out somewhere reasonable to put that nuclear waste. for now we will  be sticking with coal power because it puts its waste products safe and sound In Our Lungs, where they cannot hurt anybody,

[mc-cookies]

coal byproducts also give people cancer en masse is the thing though. coal smoke is a carcinogen that contributes to lung cancer, and ash and other waste products can also contain significant amounts of uranium and thorium, so coal as a power source can totally expose people to ionizing radiation as well.

[mangonetics]

The thing is that for every hazard of nuclear waste, pretty much the worst case scenario is that it might do something that coal power is already doing. You could aerosolize nuclear waste and just spray it out of a chimney and it would have less environmental and health impacts than coal because you’d only be spraying like a gram of it for every billion tons of coal smoke for the same amount of power.

[afriendofblahaj]

Im already pretty vocal about my advocation and belief in nuclear power and I have been for years, but I saw something a few weeks ago that just

It so perfectly sums up everything that’s wrong, but also it’s incredibly horrifying

So, basically, someone not very involved in nuclear science but still discussing it posed the question “could we retrofit coal power plants to be nuclear power plants?”. And on the face, this is a fairly good idea actually. Coal and nuclear power both generate electricity the same way (heated water turns to steam which turns a turbine) so you would only need to do some modifications, making new nuclear reactors much cheaper, and killing coal plants.

Well, someone actually involved in the nuclear industry (I think they were a researcher but I might be misremmebering) responded to the question with (paraphrased from memory)

“that’s something many of us have proposed in the past, and unfortunately we can’t do that, because coal plants currently have much higher radiation levels than the EPA allowed a nuclear plant to be operated at. And cleaning up the site would cost more than just building a new plant in an uncontaminated site.”

It’s fucking wild

Not only is coal so much more dangerous in so many other ways, but the very thing people worry about with nuclear power is higher because coal isn’t regulated at all.
