wow

[podcastsandpolymerases]

a) LOVE this

b) I found the paper they’re citing and it’s actually really sweet and a really cool study to read! not at all too dense

some highlights:

this is VERY sweet

(this paper came about bc they were having trouble identifying participants by ‘traditional’ recruitment methods like posting flyers and contacting LGBT networks/support groups, and also didn’t want to skew the data toward people who would frequent these)

they also tried making profiles on dating sites but….. 

anyway here’s a link

I think people would be less suicidal if they were allowed to talk about being suicidal without risk of being sent to the Torture Dungeon

white europeans love to pretend like the united states and europe aren’t two cheeks of the same ass

[hiimneptune]

Listen, nobody who's ever opened a history book says we didn't do that shit first. Pick an atrocity and chances are there was a time europeans did it on mass to someone for the sake of profit. The difference, is that we have for the most part put that behind us, while the US is just sinking deeper and deeper into it. We're not perfect, and we were a lot worse in the past. But it has been a while since we were the problem

[momoboyds]

so the racism, antiblackness, islamophobia, and hatred for immigrants just disappeared huh

[creatingblackcharacters]

"its been a while since we were the problem" someone Black was murdered by police violence in Ireland last month

Help Bi Woman Recover From Job Loss

My name is Olivia, and I recently lost my job without warning. I'm a bi woman that co-created (with ButchSpace) the OG sunset lesbian flag in 2017 that Emily Gwen stole. My Tumblr username is Shapeshifter-Of-Constellation.

Donate to Help Olivia Recover After Job Loss, organized by Olivia B

My name is Olivia, and I recently lost my job without warning. I'm a bi woman that co-crea… Olivia B needs your support for Help Olivia Reco

The savings I had, I had used helping my Mom and sister pay their bills and to help keep my Mom from being homeless. Then I turn around and suddenly have no job.

I have 3 job interviews scheduled for next week. However, even if I'm immediately hired it can take 2-3 weeks to be on-boarded & screened. I would be super grateful and appreciative if you helped me cover my expenses (rent, car insurance, car payment) while I secure my next job.

Your support would mean the world to me and would help me stay up on rent and bills, while I get a new job.

I just found out that Emily Gwen has been lying about needing assistance for the past 10 years!!! Previously people had brought the flag theft issue to my attention but I had brushed it off, thinking 1) that it may have been a coincidence 2) she seemed to be in desperate need. But now that I've found out she has been LYING and grifting, I am no longer interested in brushing the flag theft issue off!

Please at least credit ButchSpace for the sunset flag! ButchSpace created the orange butch flag that I used in conjunction with the lipstick lesbian flag to create the sunset flag.

I don't mind if you don't credit me, but at least credit Butchspace instead of Emily Gwen!

To clarify at the time of creating the flag, I did identify as a butch lesbian, but I now identify as a bi woman.

Donations are much appreciated!

i got a job offer but itll be weeks before rhe first paycheck

[shapeshifter-of-constellation]

I am reopening the fundraiser. I do currently have a new job that I've been at for 3 weeks now. The 1st new job did not work out. So it took a month to get a 2nd new job. im playing catch up with bills and I will be late on June rent.

Please dont pressure yourself or feel bad for not donating. I am squeezing by. I truly appreciate the concern and kindness of your thoughts.

Any little bit helps and is truly a blessing and will help alleviate stress 🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗

Viral Instagram post highlights disproportionate number of Black children reported missing in Virginia

A viral social media post stating there have been 63 Black children reported missing in Virginia since April 1 underscores a serious issue i

As of Thursday, May 21, the NCMEC figure for open missing cases involving Black children sits at 64, with the total number of open missing children cases in Virginia at 114 — meaning that more than half of open missing children cases in the commonwealth are Black, despite Black Virginians accounting for about one-fifth of the population. The total number of Black children law enforcement reported missing since April 1 across the U.S. is now 183, according to NCMEC.

1/3rd of missing Black Children in the U.S. since April are just from Virginia

Proboscis Bat Rhynchonycteris naso

It is found from southern Mexico to Belize, Peru, Venezuela, Bolivia and Brazil, as well as in Trinidad. The bats are nocturnal, sleeping during the day in an unusual formation: most of them line up, one after another, on a branch or wooden beam, nose to tail, in a straight row.

In the photo, the two bats on the lower left are carrying young.

DONT use glasses, youll become dependent on them to see!!!! #WARONDRUGS #OVERPRESCRIPTION #CORRECTIVELENSADDICTION

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I know this is a humorous exaggeration designed to show how silly it is to deny medication and mobility/quality of life aids to disabled people by applying the argument to something silly in a way that nobody would ever do but... unfortunately I have heard people say this. I've heard people suggest that people with minor sight problems shouldn't get glasses, and people needing to move to a stronger prescription should do it and should stay on as light a prescription as they can use and still function, because the glasses will "weaken their eyes" and make their eyesight worse (which is bullshit). People will pull this ableist bullshit on glasses wearers, too.

[bananonbinary]

unfortunately no matter how much you try to parody ableism, some completely genuine asshole out there already has you beat.
