This is how I feel when people are like "how is x politician saying x an example of liberal zionism??" Because we answered this several times over years, several political thinkers and authors. People are not engaging with our politics and thats why this movement in the west is so confused and not militant
for this fourth of july I just wanna say: fuck this stupid ass racist ableist classist piece of shit country. fuck this bill that will kill MILLIONS of people and will kill the planet. fuck the oligarchy. fuck the military. fuck “border protection.” fuck the billionaires. fuck anyone who feels “patriotic” to be american.
Give it up for the people just realizing they're queer right now, actually. This is a really scary time to be queer, i imagine even scarier to be coming to terms with your identity and/or trying to figure yourself out. You're doing amazing and i think you're super super brave.
✨transmedicalism can die in a hole✨
I’ve been thinking about Airplane Mode by Flobots a lot recently…it feels too accurate for a like twenty year old song
I want to know, legitimately, what we can be doing about the mass deportation going on? What’s the move? Radical to grassroots—please tell me.
The border has never ever been a pretty place and asylum cases were barely heard and “babies in cages” was never a joke. There was the forced sterilization too. And now it has managed to get even worse.
They’re shutting down asylum seeking, they’re not honoring visas, they’re targeting anyone brown (including mother fucking indigenous people). DACA’s blown. DREAMers can no longer dream. Trump’s fulfilling his promises, even going back to the first administration.
And then there’s Guantanamo Bay… which is horrifying. And Holocaust-y.
I will do anything to protect my students and my community but I am feeling so helpless. Give me some guidance because I can’t do nothing. I absolutely cannot.
By now, there's lots of people have heard about the internal CDC memos for all newly prepared manuscripts (like future scientific papers waiting to be published):
There's so much to comment on, and I'm seeing it all right now. What the state of science is. What this means for the queer community. All of that.
But fuck, I think I might genuinely start crying over this. As a transgender biologist, this feels like a brutally personal blow. I slowly accepted my gender alongside my biology education. The more misinformation that was spewed about "biological sex" by mainstream media, the more my professors, colleagues, and primary sources would casually drop information that proved they have no idea what they're talking about. I'm not an expert on sex determination, gender, or transgender biology specifically by any means. But my worldview has been crafted by my studies in genetics and molecular biology.
Engaging with this research helped me demystify transition. It helped me optimize my transition. It helped me explain how HRT and other steps of trans healthcare work to other people. And it helped me overcome my own internalized transphobia, and finally start transitioning, despite knowing I wanted to since my preteen years.
Who knows how enforceable internal guidelines like this will be. But its certainly going to scare a lot of researchers away from transgender healthcare and science in the coming years, and that breaks my heart.
There's a lot I can say here, but fuck. I just needed to vent for a moment. Fuck.
It’s uncanny how similar Trump is acting like Hitler. People are now doing the Nazi salute. They’re drawing the symbol. The KKK was seen in Kentucky asking people to join them. ICE has been ripping families apart. Companies have pulled back Diversity Initiatives. We’re no longer part of WHO and there won’t be any communication from the CDC at least until February 1st. We’re being censored and the news can’t be trusted. Thousands of Americans didn’t know there were protests against Trump yesterday outside the U.S. Quotes from The Handmaid’s Tale and Anne Frank have been compared to what’s going on right now.
According to The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Studies and Prevention the U.S. has officially been given a red flag alert for Genocide.
I’m exhausted but I will never stop being angry.
The State department has changed LGBTQ to LGB.
If you claim to care about trans people now is a good time to show genuine ally ship.
And I mean being an ACTUAL ally.
I don't mean sexualizing us or watching trans porn.
I don't mean treating trans mascs like "uwu soft baby boy" and trans femmes as "yass queen girl boss".
I don't mean expecting praise for using the right pronouns and using incorrect ones when "they're a bad trans person".
I mean ACTUAL SUPPORT.
Donate to trans shelters or organizations. DON'T out us to people we aren't out to. Go to protests if you're able, FIGHT ALONGSIDE US. Don't bring us around people you know are transphobic or dangerous, the list goes on. The LGBTQ community is ALL of us not just some of us.
Trans people who are documented as trans on government documents are currently not able to get passports - whether or not they accept their passport being issued as their birth sex, any indication that you're trans on a document that can be accessed by the government is being used as reason to deny a passport.
This is incredibly alarming. Even agreeing to be labeled as your birth sex is not sufficient. They want to deny trans people the ability to leave the country. Any possible reason for this is horrifying.
We need to rally now. Protect the entire community, do not allow them to throw any of us under the bus. None of us will be spared, they're just coming for the most vulnerable people first, and soon enough the most vulnerable people will be YOU.
Previous administration used LGBTQI+ acronym.
Si la migra aparecen en su puerta
no abras la puerta. Estate calmado. Usted tiene derechos.
Si piden entrar, pregunten si tienen una orden firmada por un juez.
Si dicen que lo tienen, piden verlo.
Una orden de administración de ICE (formulario 1-200, 1-205) no les permite entrar a su hogar sin su consentimiento.
Si no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, usted puede negarse a dejarlos entrar
Si se fuerzan, no resistan. Dile a todos en la residencia que permanezcan en silencio.
Si usted es arrestado, permanezca en silencio y no firme nada hasta que hable con un abogado.
Una traducción al español más precisa:
Si los agentes de inmigración aparecen en tu puerta:
No abras la puerta, mantente calmado, tienes derechos.
Si piden entrar, pregunta si tienen una orden firmada por un juez.
Si lo hacen, pide verla.
Una orden de la administración de la ICE (forma 1-200, 1-205) no les permite entrar a tu casa sin tu consentimiento.
Si no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, puedes negarte a dejarlos pasar.
Si fuerzan su entrada, no te resistas. Dile a todos en la residencia que permanezcan en silencio.
Si eres arrestado, mantente en silencio y no firmes nada sin antes ver a un abogado.

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?
would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?
oh my god...
so the first screenshot is trying to look this up on tiktok normally, "donald trump rigged election" and it says that search violates community guidelines.
the second screenshot is looking up the same exact thing, but with a (australian) vpn on. canadian vpn didn't fix it fyi.
THIS is exactly the type of censorship to be looking out for on tiktok. this actually is crazy.
Boy if THAT ain't prophetic :-/
For those who are wondering, she says in the TikTok as I'm in Canada and can still access the app:
"And remember kids, it was Trump who started all of this. And if he comes back on the 19 of January, saying that he is making sure that tiktok is not getting banned, coming from a German, this is exactly what a certain painter from 1933 did back then to get the sympathy of the masses.
"I beg you, I beg YOU, to not sympathize with him. This is all a plan, this is all, the only thing that they didn't consider was all of you marching over to Rednote. It TikTok stays because of Trump, this app will be run over by Republican propaganda. Fascist propaganda, the same as it happened back in 1933 in Germany. Our version was burning books, their version is deleting every information that is not serving their worldview.
"Please don't let history repeat itself.
"Sincerely, A German"
So TikTok is dead. Long live fascist media censorship??? I wish I had the energy to be outraged but I barely have money to survive and am employed in the public sector as a queer which means I am constantly monitoring my physical and financial safety. And well, this doesn’t bode well but it’s not entirely unexpected.
I deleted instagram because fuck Meta (which I’ve been saying for years but this time, I really mean it). Unfortunately, I can’t just cut ties with my international friends so WhatsApp is staying on my phone for now (yes, they own that too…)
All that too say, “Hi tumblr, I’m back. Remember when I secretly downloaded you against my parents will because I was tired of using Pinterest?”
I am loyal to a fault and I have never forgotten the place of my first radicalization, my first acceptance, and my first community. I know I haven’t always been there for you but if the worlds a hellfire then I choose you, hell-site. 💝🔥
With much love and appreciation,

TUMBLR 101: a helpful guide for tiktok refugees
are YOU a former tiktok user trying to learn how to use tumblr to fill the void the american tiktok ban is leaving in your soul? here are some things you should know, from someone who’s going on their eighth year on this hellsite:
1. you can say anything on here. gone are the days of having to use words like “unalive” and “seggs.” murder! kill! sex! fuck! speak your mind!
2. there is a community for you on here. regardless of what you’re into or however small the fandom is, you have a place here. at least one other person will have heard of your weird obscure interest. strike up a conversation!
3. followers don’t matter. tumblr is one of the last remaining social media sites in which your number of followers means absolute jack shit. this can be disorienting at first, but once you lean into the fact that everyone on this website is equal, it’s very freeing. clout means nothing here.
4. similarly, you can post at any time. while tiktok has an algorithm that favors certain times, tumblr has no such algorithm. post whatever you want, whenever you want. every post has virtually the same chance at getting notes, regardless of when it is posted.
5. tags can have spaces between the words! this one is very exciting. tags can be a whole sentence. you can also use the tags to comment on someone’s post without actually adding onto the physical post itself (which is sometimes frowned upon and called “derailing” if you use this feature to bring up a completely different point other than the one that’s being made on the original post).
TL;DR: speak your mind, find your place, followers don’t matter, post anytime, have fun with tags!! tumblr is a wonderful site used to share things you’re excited about. be patient with yourself as you’re learning and have fun!
5b. tags are also for organization and reach! Come up with a tagging system to help yourself and other users find posts more easily on your own blog. However, be mindful of the relevancy of your tags!! If you tag a fandom or character that’s not even mentioned on the post, that is considered spam and people will probably block you for it.
