I think many people cannot fully comprehend what it is to endure pain and fear that is virtually endless, for pain and traumatic conditions to become so constant that they are the very texture of your life.

[closet-keys]

Earlier this week, my friend Fadel texted me about his pain and that his blood count has gotten so low that his body trembles with cold. Today fear has eclipsed this pain. He told me, "Yesterday, ten people were killed in a bombing, and an hour ago, a group of people were targeted, and five of them were killed. The sounds of the bombing are terrifying.😭 I don't want to get hurt again or die, please, my brother.😭😭😭😭"

[closet-keys]

People think the ceasefire means anything, but the genocide continues. 32 people have been killed since the start of April alone. 25 just this week. Today Israelis fired two missiles into Bureij refugee camp leaving at least 6 dead. Al Jazeera journalist Mohammed Wishah was born in this refugee camp in 1986, and earlier this week while driving home there, Israelis killed him with a drone strike. For the people of Gaza, from birth until death this is their reality.

Please donate what you can to Fadel so he can access the resources to survive this. @fadel-dani's fundraiser is #197 on @gazavetters and is hosted by a friend of mine. These donations are his family's sole hope of access to relief and survival.

I am afraid for him. I don't know how to keep him safe except to help him raise funds for his campaign. In between drafting this post and hearing back from him that it was okay to publish, Fadel's tent was pierced through by fragments of Israeli shells. One of the pieces was so large it was on fire.

[fadel-dani]

I feel like my heart is going to stop from fear. We just survived exploding shells and indiscriminate gunfire directed at our tents. The situation here is extremely dangerous. The Israeli occupation is bombing everything. Please help us by donating so we can escape to a safe area and buy my medicine and have my surgery. Please donate.

Look at something unimaginable

"These white dots are not just part of an image… each one is a soul, a name, a story that ended too soon. Among them is my niece… a piece of my heart… and members of my family who are now only memories. Have you seen the child who was shot by a sniper and kept bleeding until he died? In Gaza, death is not news… it is a reality we live every single moment.

[alkliliyfamliys-blog]

We do not die once… we die every day—with every child lost, every mother in tears, every dream buried under the rubble. We are not asking for the impossible… we just want to live. Please help us leave this slow death—your support could save a life." Donate to my family in Gaza

[4waystreet]

the idea that predators and abusers are an ontological category of person, rather than everyone having the capacity to be predatory and abusive, leads to people having no regard for boundaries because they think that predation only comes from evil people ™

[chongoblog]

The whole “protect the children” stuff makes a lot more sense when you realize that they treat their children like their possessions, so it’s less “let our children live their best lives” and more “don’t mess with my long term investment”

[faireladypenumbra]

This is almost always why "save the children" excuse will be a scapegoat for adult anxieties. It's not really about real children, but perceived threats on their investment in the world.

I know that on the internet transfemmes tend to get accused of “separatist ideology” the most for speaking about our issues, but I do think it’s hilarious (evil) how the more marginalized you are the harder it becomes to actually be separationist or isolationist because of the exact systemic discrimination that creates those desires.

Like ok, you’re transfemme. You have hella bad experiences with non-transfemmes doing transmisogyny to you so you end up interacting almost exclusively with other transfemmes.

But you’re also Black, and you hope that also being marginalized will help cut out the antiblackness and transmisogynoir from non-Black transfemmes, but it turns out they still gonna do that shit to you, so you retreat to just other Black transfemmes.

And then you get hit with long covid or literally any other disability, can’t work anymore because of it and become reliant on mutual aid to survive. Surely, you think, the double whammy of being Black and transfemme means they’ll understand ableism too. Maybe mask so you can be with them safely without getting even more disabled.

And then they don’t, so you try to find other disabled Black transfemmes, a sliver of a sliver of a sliver, but they’re all ALSO broke and isolated and surviving on mutual aid and luck and they tell you your options are to accept everything being done to you so that you have a chance of surviving via mutual aid and community resources, or simply give up.

So you go back to the larger community to have a chance of surviving, because the average lifespan for Black transfemmes is mid-30s and you’d like to beat the average at least, and you prepare to suffer again, to survive.

Last year, two of the best known/loved cis Black women who were disability advocates on Twitter died due to lack of mutual aid. One couldn’t raise funds for her chemo, the other couldn’t raise funds for a rideshare to the hospital the day she died and knew that an ambulance would ruin her financially.

I look at them, two well known and loved disabled Black women who put so much effort into helping their community only to die due to lack of help, and then I look at the other disabled Black trans folks I know surviving off of mutual aid and I wonder how much longer it’ll be until it’s them, because they damn sure don’t got the same amount of people that even know who they are.

(If you BIPOC/trans/disabled and trying to cf, I’ll reblog it if you message it to me or put it as a reblog on this. I’ll also try to go through and reblog everything on here every so often)

so apparently the dsm 6 is being structured around bio-pathologizing mental illness specifically in the direction of biomarkers…if u aren’t concerned about this maybe you should be…

DSM-6 Will Be Structured Around Biomarkers—Despite Acknowledgment There Aren’t Any

Psychiatry is hard at work crafting the newest edition of its diagnostic bible, DSM-6.

[sin0fempathy]

…so they’re now trying to search for “biomarkers”- which are essentially genes, or circumstances of conception/birth/what have you, that can “increase the risk” of mental illnesses. how is this any different from people wondering if there’s a “gay gene?” or autism speaks trying to find a genetic or reproductive “cure for autism?”

it’s not. this is barely disguised eugenics that they have ACKNOWLEDGED may (will) do more to harm than good for people with abnormal mental states. what else could the end result of finding a “mental illness gene” be than a reason to further marginalize those who are already marginalized, already branded as more likely to be (or even inherently) “mentally ill” and eventually discourage them to reproduce, either by coercion or force?

it’s more obvious than ever now. everyone should be anti psych

[ysmkinza]

Psychiatry as an institution functions to obfuscate the causes of mental and emotional disturbance (economic exploitation, abuse, lack of access to resources, etc) by describing mental illness as an individual pathology that needs to be recognized and treated by science.

Given where these hardships cluster most intensely, it is extremely useful to white supremacy and eugenics to have a "scientific" method of proving that pathology is more common among "degenerate" populations.

The DSM's various incarnations have corresponded to shifts in which part of this process have been considered more or less important to prioritize - the latest restructuring to focus on biomarkers is just a recalibration to better suit the needs of the imperial-capitalist white supremacist project.

the complete and total defeat in the prosecutor's voice at the very end..... im 💀💀💀

[bogleech]

Havent seen a lot about this on tumblr so maybe not a lot of people know:

He was wrongfully raided by police in 2022

He used footage and names of the specific cops in posts, videos and songs making fun of them

The cops sued for defamation and cried in court about the songs ruining their lives

He won anyway

[creatingblackcharacters]

I love how unapologetic he is. And rightfully so!! How you gone cry about being embarrassed when you weren't crying about barging into my home and threatening my life? No one was worried about anybody's children when they weren't the right color. They good. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[fellahimedia]

Sudanis have been saying this so posting it here, please stop saying Iran is freeing Sudan. Yes you can be happy that the UAE is being bombed but that is not stopping the UAEs genocidal proxy, the RSF, from continuing their massacres.

Anyway open ur wallets

literally every anti-polyamory caricature I've ever seen has just been filled with this latent rage that people that are "ugly" or "weird" are able to be desired by multiple people. fat people, autistic people, people who talk weird or have disabilities or even who are a bit cringey about their relationships - there's just a desire to discredit the fact that they're wanted and loved by portraying their relationships as intrinsically shallow. it could not be more of a self-admitting L if it tried to be. mad that people you hate are still capable of being wanted aren't you!

[metanarrates]

intrinsic in anti-polyamory caricature also is often the assumption that "weird" and "ugly" people are simply settling for each other because they can't get anything "better." it's the assumption that monogamy with normatively attractive people Must be the universally desired ideal and that anyone who doesn't want it is either lying to themself or is simply a pervert. which is, again, a self-admitting L. just say you're shallow and you can't understand why people might want different things than you do lmao

[femperor]

Hey, assorted soft scientists. Have you considered that there's a possible correlation between suicidal thoughts going underreported and the fact that admitting suicidal thoughts to a professional is bar none the fastest way to give them legal control over you?
