Oh they’re going to need salvation.

[socialistexan]

Not just making it illegal, but making being gay punishable with death.

[unified-multiversal-theory]

This is one of the many reasons why I walk by every single red bucket in the run-up to Christmas. They’re not getting my money, I don’t care how nice the people ringing bells are.

[auntiewanda]

Ever since the time they threatened to close all their soup kitchens in NYC if a law that did something as simple as allow companies to extend spousal benefits to their employee’s same-sex domestic partners I have refused to buy from them or donate to them. 

[willowofthehearth]

It’s that time of year again! In case people don’t know… the Salvation Army is shitty peoples.

Also, the married women are not paid (and therefore can’t qualify for assistance if they should ever divorce, etc). And worth “of course” less than a man.

“ In the Army’s case, the agreement for compensation is that the officer allowance be paid jointly to the husband—the check is written in his name. Officially, the wife is a “worker without expectation of remuneration,” and her husband receives 40 percent more of an allowance as a married man than he would as a single man. “

hey since that season is coming up again!

[fluffy-raccoon-artist]

To my American followers. Don’t support Salvation Army. Not only are they homophobic as shit, but I’ve also heard that they abuse a lot f homeless people. They only care about money, please don’t donate to them and give your money to charities that actually help people

[ourmissallison]

Never don’t reblog.

[whitmerule]

To be clear: this is specific to America. It is not necessarily going to be true for all countries. Please don’t boycott your own salvos without proper investigation: in many countries they do good work.

[colorsofsocialjustice]

Sorry but no, the Salvation Army was founded in the UK and even there still are homophobic as hell, to the point that they still refuse to let out gay people hold positions of power in the organisation. This is a callout for the whole group, not just the US. - Purple

AND Canadian salvation army is just as bad! the whole organization is rotten from the core! Canadians are not immune to bad organizations!

People protect a woman who is burning her scarf

[cop-disliker69]

A little context for those who don’t know: recently a woman was arrested by the Iranian morality police (who enforce mandatory headscarves and other theocratic policies) and died in custody. This has sparked massive protests across Iran.

[qwertyu858]

And she wasnt even arrested for not using the hijab but bc she was using it "incorrectly". So she was even following the law and still got killed.

They have also tried to claim that she died from natural causes, even when she was 22. And they realesed a very fake video as evidence of that.

People hacking their lungs out around you and then being like ‘don’t worry it’s not covid’ like girl I don’t want whatever the fuck else it is you’ve got either!!

#ok i get this is a joke post but ive seen a bunch of people with chronic respiratory issues have to do this #a lady with emphysema was getting tattooed when i was and made sure the whole shop knew #a friend with pneumonia scarring on their lungs has to do this all the time #please understand that people with respiratory issues that aren't contagious have been put in a really unfortunate position by all this #like i still see people make these apologies even when they have masks on and are taking proper precautions too #also there's people like me with a bad habit of randomly choking on nothing because i swallowed weird #im putting this in the tags not the comments because i know this is a joke post and obviously #you're within your rights to avoid coughing people like keep safe and everything #but please understand not all illness ia contagious or short lived and chronically ill people dont deserve being treated #like they're contaminated. nor do they owe you a detailed medical history. a quick 'its not covid' is a valid response. #'joke' is the wrong word actually its not really a joke post. what i mean is i get that it's like. not that deep (via @authorizedpope)

Five ways the monarchy has benefited from colonialism and slavery

An expert on the royal family’s finances explains how they still benefit from historical connections to slavery and empire.

The British monarchy was central to the establishment, expansion, and maintenance of the British empire and the transatlantic slave trade. The declaration of English empire was first made by Henry VIII in 1532. Elizabeth I granted a royal charter (an instrument of incorporation) to Sir John Hawkins, widely considered one of the first English traders to profit from the slave trade. She also granted a charter to the British East India Company in 1600.

After Elizabeth’s death, Charles II formed the Royal African Company in 1660, led by the Duke of York (later James II), which extracted goods such as gold and ivory from the Gold Coast, and transported over 3,000 Africans to Barbados. Many of these people had the initials “DY” burned into their skin to signify their belonging to the Duke of York. Both men invested private funds in the company.

Queen Victoria assumed the title of Empress of India in 1877, and by 1920 the empire was 13.71 million square miles. The British monarch’s global significance and power stemmed directly from the enslavement of people of colour.

[dahvieinsanity4prison33]

Dahvie Vanity is fucking disgusting.

It’s frustrating ASF that this man still hasn’t been put

in prison where he fucking belongs yet.

Dahvie Vanity is a horrible human being.

He can’t keep on getting away with his horrible crimes.

He needs to face real consequences for what he did.

I hope that this disgusting man gets arrested soon.

The survivors deserve justice.

[snailbutch]

what the fuck

[guu]

i’m just gonna take this post for a moment so i can rant but like

i Hate how entitled adults can feel over a child’s hair!

it started when i was young myself, i wanted a mohawk, but my dad didn’t approve of that look on a “girl”, and insisted i’d regret such a bold cut. at 16 i was finally given full autonomy over my own head.

but then i have a son and everyone around us is trying to keep his hair short. when we finally moved out just me my partner and him, i told him he doesn’t need to get any haircuts he doesn’t want.

so he starts growing it out, it’s still short but coming on mid-length. his teacher makes a point to tell me it’s getting long as if i don’t have eyes. i hear her walking out with him one day talking to him about haircuts, as if to coax him into one. eventually i get child services called on me for ‘forcing a transgender lifestyle’ over what i can only assume is from a combination of me drawing cute ponies on his valentine box and letting him go to school in a ponytail.

he kept it short for awhile after but told me he wanted to grow it out again, so i let him of course. he comes home one day after getting a haircut at his grandpa’s and tells me he didn’t Want the haircut.

i ask why he got it then and learned he was bribed with a promise of a surprise IF he cut his hair.

tl;dr people need to back the hell up off of children and let them have owership of what’s on THEIR body! /rant

[e-v-roslyn]

Same thing about getting a child to curl or straighten their hair. Or do anything with it. Just let kids have control over their bodies.

[captainroxythefoxy]

This happened to me when I was little too!! Growing up I had naturally tight Shirley Temple curls. The only problem was that you can’t get a hair brush through it if your life depended on it until it grew out over a few years.

but This One Lady from church decided that leaving my hair messy and curly was child abuse and threatened to call social services on my family every damn time she saw me until one day she was the designated kid watcher and ho boy my momma tells me i came out with tears in my eyes and greasy slicked down hair and that’s where she ends the story because i think my mother beat her ass but yeah.

Leave kids hair alone.

[disease-danger-darkness-silence]

I’m going to be honest, parents who are super-controlling of their children’s hair creep me the fuck out and I’m not entirely certain why except that I get a vague feeling they kind of relegate them to, “annoying talking doll” status.

[pretentioussongtitle]

I loved my daughter’s long blond hair. It was thick and wavy and beautiful but when she told me she wanted it cut short ‘like a boy’(she was four)  I took her to the salon and let her whack it off. 

The stylist was skeptical, ‘are you sure?” and the thing is, she said this to me, not my daughter. So I asked my girl ‘are you sure you want it cut short?’ She was. The hair went. The stylist acted nervous most of the way through like she was waiting for one of us to burst into tears, but it looked cute! And my daughter loved it! (And it’s been short ever since.)

[kintatsujo]

Autonomy over your hair is bodily autonomy and we as a culture need to start holding bodily autonomy as sacred

[mdzhb]

there is a reason that so many of us who’ve experienced trauma will reclaim control over our bodies and our selves by cutting and dying our hair. it’s part of us. it’s part of our expression. that’s vitally important to people, especially kids, who are still early in the process of learning how they fit into the world around them.

[theconcealedweapon]

For some reason, “stop enforcing your gender identity and sexual orientation on children” never applies to cis-het people who are the only ones actually enforcing it.

[clavikissvile-deactivated202107]

Hey srs question. Why did everyone decide it was okay for 1 white man to say the N word as long as it's Jimmy urine from mindless self indulgence?

Like he says some fucked up racist shit in his music do you scenecore blogs pay attention to that or?

Like. I get the nostalgia thing. I loved the song 'shut me up' in middle school. But like... Be critical of what you're listening to. He frequently drops the N Slur, r*tard, f*ggot, and a general fuck ton of misogyny, racism, and homophobia. This guy's music is just all around unpleasant.

I'm just confused why he's like... The one white guy every accepts with this shit. And he put out a song called problematic with the lyric in it:

"It's the suppression of the word that gives it power."

Like yeah this seems like the music of a cool guy that cares about marginalized ppl right. "Nah bro I'm not called you a slur stop being so sensitive I'm reducing the power of a slur that's not mine to reclaim chill bro just get a thicker skin."

I can't be the only one that sees this as a problem, right?

If you want examples of the N Slur, his song 'bring the pain' has plenty. Makes a regular appearance in his music. Mind you, he is not black.

https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/mindlessselfindulgence/bringthepain.html

In addition to that in the song linked above, they substituted a word with 'monkey' in a profoundly racist way, of course.

R*etard dropped several times paired with a shit ton of ableism

https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/mindlessselfindulgence/stupidmf.html

Misogyny ('If you won't fuck me then you're useless and I'll fuck your friend' is the general gist of this song.)

https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/mindlessselfindulgence/issues.html

Here's him dropping a shitton of slurs, including an antisemitic and hispanic slur. (Worth mentioning that he is part hispanic but that does erase any other shitty thing he pumps into his songs)

https://genius.com/Mindless-self-indulgence-niggers-lyrics

My point is that there's a shit ton of evidence that people shouldn't be holding onto this guy for their nostalgia purposes or whatever the reason may be. Be a fan of mcr or someone else that doesn't pride themselves on offensive humor like some shit comedian with a Netflix special titled 'silenced' or w/e.

Tldr; pay attention to what you're listening to and listen to better music. He's this 51 yr old white and hispanic guy dropping the N Slur like he has a right to it. He doesnt.

[lowqualitymsi]

Panty Shot fucked me up when I was in middle school. Honestly I think that’s the song we ALL need to take a closer look at.

Jimmy urine 💗

actually fucking no. a disgusting pedophile piece of human basura. fuck him

[vanishbyers]

the situation with jimmy urine is absolutely sickening. i truly hope the victim and her family find some sort of peace. i’m also just disgusted at msi’s hypocrisy as a whole. as someone who used to be a fan and who researched a lot of their interviews and statements its so uncomfortable seeing that jimmy is exactly what he and the other band members advocated against. if you were also previously a fan then you know that the whole fucking point of their offensive persona was a way to mock asshole musicians ie: pedos, racists etc. the charities they donated to, the things they condemned and their morals as a whole are all fucking bullshit. i hope jimmy fucking rots. as for lynz we don’t know shit abt what she did and didnt know. she joined the band 5 whole years after this shit went down and everyone citing jessicka adams’s bullshit tweets needs to realize that she is lying piece of shit pedophile just like jimmy. we simply don’t know her situation with this and we sure as hell don’t know gerard’s. either way i’m just sick of seeing so many of yall talk abt this like its petty drama and not a serious allegation of abuse and someone’s trauma. stop trying to make this abt lynz and gerard and their relationship and ffs to everyone boasting abt how you “always knew” or “never liked msi” you look like a self-righteous asshole. this isn’t about you this is someone’s trauma. someone was abused and all you care abt is whether ur fave musician is still “valid” or how you’re superior to other ppl for not listening to a band’s music. i’m just so sick of this fanbase’s obsession with themselves. have some respect for once.

[wizardpotions]

The concepts of NSFW is being cleared of the Internet under the false pretense of children’s safety when it’s really about the people in power sanitising for advertisers and pushing evangelical narratives AND that not enough is done to keep legitimately harmful content off of spaces that minors have access to are ideas that can coexist

[pageofheartdj]

can adults have their own fucking space?

[wizardpotions]

a lot of people are misunderstanding this post. minors arent taking away your spaces. the internet is not being made safer for children, it is being sanitised for advertisers.

[queenofthefaces]

And also: minors’ spaces are being taken away.

When I was a kid, “barbie.com” looked like this

But now, if you type “Barbie.com” you’re taken immediately to Mattel’s online shop, surrounded by nothing but “shop now” links and toy collections.

Disney channel’s website is now “Disneynow.com” which still has games and shows appropriate for kids, but is aimed towards a younger audience as it combines Disney Jr and Disney Channel properties, and the look of the entire site is very juvenile and not very appealing to kids in the tween and young teen demographics.

Nick.com has been similarly streamlined and is focused primarily on streaming its shows, and the only games still left are 10 apps that can’t be played on browser.

Kid-friendly sites like icarly.com, Poptropica, Club Penguin, Neopets, Webkinz etc used to be insanely relevant and popular spaces built for kids and tweens.

Now, kids are being funneled into less moderated, more exploitative, and more public spaces like Roblox (its dangerous and exploitative nature exposed in these videos from People Make Games: (x) (x)), Fortnite (known for its gambling and microtransaction issues), and social media sites like TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter.

My elementary aged cousins spend their time on Roblox, YouTube, and some less than reputable game sites that are full of ads and stolen/reposted/reskinned games. My sister was on Musically/Tiktok and Twitter in middle school. They don’t have the same options for having fun online that I did when I was a kid, especially not when they get too old for nickjr and disneynow.

The internet has been condensed into about 5 popular sites that are full of ads, and it’s not fair to anyone.
