Hi-ho, Parasol Lady Ansy (& Sora!) here again 🌧️☀️

With a reminder about heat sickness in light of the extreme heat warnings we’re getting in France & in the US this week or so.

Heat-related deaths in at least France have been rising, so please, please, PLEASE do what you can to stay safe! Have enough cool water on hand (& also eat cooling foods with enough salt to retain said water), wear brighter, lightweight clothes, avoid direct sunlight whenever & however you can (use a dark or dark-underside umbrella like mine), etc.

Heat sickness is not something to take lightly, or just brush off / tough out. If you start to feel lightheaded, weak, very thirsty, nauseous, etc. please take care of yourself. 😢

In the US, we’re forecasted to have record-breaking heat in the east, as well as wildfire conditions in the west. Not good.

If you or someone you know is unhoused (or under-housed, especially when it comes to access to AC or power), we do have emergency cooling centers they can go to. They have a website where you can search where to find one in your state. ❄️

You can also come to the public library - many have water fountains, & most of us have HVAC systems (can’t promise the quality, but it’s better than nothing) as well as free WiFi for you to chill out safely out of the heat. I think some of us may also have some cooling resources as well - better check the library’s website for more details before going. 📖

As for you guys out west, be sure to do what you can do to prevent wildfires. I know nothing about that being on the generally wetter east coast (currently more in drought / flood / storm conditions), so here’s a helpful guide by the NOAA.

Please be safe everyone! ☀️

[oediex]

Don't forget about Maryam. She is still recovering and still needs our help.

It's good to see her. She is so precious. ❤️

[drdarine]

Maryam has witnessed things no child should ever have to see destruction, loss, fear, and the constant uncertainty of war. She has also endured malnutrition, leaving her body weak and fragile. While other children dream about the future, she spends her days fighting simply to regain her strength and hold on to hope.

There are no words that can describe the pain and helplessness I carry inside me. I can’t save Maryam on my own. I’m begging you from the bottom of my heart. Please donate today and help give us a chance to survive.

[ministarfruit]

I love this text post so I drew it

[forcefemdemonprincess]

I don't think I'll ever be normal about this one. Holy fuck

[smolbailey]

to be fair it's incredible, so valid

[drdarine]

Maryam, my family, and I forgive everyone who saw our posts or received our appeals and was unable to help us. Life is full of responsibilities, commitments, and circumstances that may prevent someone from offering help, even when they genuinely wish to do so.

[drdarine]

Our faith, like Christianity and the universal values that unite humanity, calls upon us to practice forgiveness, show compassion, extend understanding, and support one another in times of need.

We kindly ask anyone who is able to help in any way, not to hesitate. Every act of support can make a difference and give us hope.

Thank you all for your care, prayers, and support. May God bless and reward you abundantly. 🙏🏻🌷

[gazavetters]

Maryam once ran through the streets of Gaza, full of light and laughter. Then war took her home, her family, and her health. Now, if an innocent child like her is not worthy of help, then who is?

[tieflingkisser]

[mousidy]

the state does not need to assign you a sex, nor does it need to keep inalterable record of it btw

[mousidy]

a very interesting terf objection to this one boils down to "but how would the state know who to protect?" because it speaks to the incredible privilege of being in a class the state actually ever remotely wants to protect. most oppressed groups do not want the state to have a registry of them, lol

[mousidy]

the patriarchy has done a great job convincing white cisgender women that it's in their best interests to maintain it

[vacuously-true]

Researchers can do studies that track disparate impacts across genders just fine without the government storing your assigned sex as part of your legal identity. They do this with race and orientation and disability and so on just fine.

A census can understand population level trends just fine without storing your assigned sex as part of your legal identity. They can ask for this information in the census. The census tracking population level data is not the same as your assigned sex being permanently part of your legal identity. (At least, the way my country does a census.)

Your doctor can know your anatomy by you communicating it to them if/when it is relevant. There is never a time when they might need to know something that could only be conveyed by your assigned sex being officially relayed to them via government documentation. You can just use your words. The same way you tell your doctor any other part of your medical history.

People respond to "the government doesn't need to store your assigned sex as part of your legal identity" as if they are hearing "no one should ever acknowledge gender or sex at all" but that's not what's being said.

Your birth certificate conveys important legal information about you. Your name, as a designation. Your parents, as they have a legal obligation to you. Your place of birth, as that place has a legal obligation to you. Date and time of birth, since age is important for application of some laws.

And sex. That's on there too. But what is the legal relevance? What laws is the government going to apply to you differently based on what sex is on your birth certificate? I can only think of one thing my government really uses that for, and that is to determine who has to sign up for the draft. And guess what, fuck that shit anyway. The government also used to use this to decide who is allowed to marry who. They don't do that anymore. For now.

There is literally no reason my assigned sex needs to be part of my legal identity. My government is not using that for anything (important). It doesn't matter. If the gender markers on everyone's IDs vanished tomorrow nothing (except maybe the draft) would be significantly negatively affected. Data collection for research could continue as usual since researchers usually have people self report these characteristics rather than checking their government IDs. My doctors would still know which organs I have and if they forgot, I could tell them. I don't want anything to be part of my legal identity that doesn't have to be.

My little baby sister Maryam may not survive if the war or famine returns again. Her tiny body can no longer endure all this exhaustion, hunger, and fear.

[drdarine]

I can't sleep because of the overwhelming fear and dark thoughts haunting me. I keep imagining what could happen to Maryam if we are forced to go through all of this again.

Maryam deserves safety, warmth, food, and the chance to live like any other child. Instead, she wakes up every day surrounded by fear and uncertainty. Please do not look away from Maryam and help her have the chance in a safe and peaceful life.

[kdotlover]

Please help Maryam and her family.

[gazavetters]

Maryam is an innocent child who was once full of life and energy, until the war in Gaza changed everything.

If Maryam is not worthy of help, then who is?

[interspadias]

fun fact: debates about if being transgender is a choice or not are irrelevant, because the fundamental truth is of bodily autonomy - a right that should never be seen as conditional or requiring a suitable, immutable condition.

people who are trans deserve the right to transition, not because it’s a medical treatment or because dysphoria can be classified as a mental illness but because we’re human beings who should be allowed to do whatever the fuck we want to our own bodies! this is a basic human right!

Memphis is “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Here’s why you may not know that.

Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

Ice operations have moved to harassing folk in Memphis

[castformbignaturals]

Huh. I wonder what else is going on in Tennessee (and specifically Memphis) right now?

Oh well, I’m sure it’s a total coincidence.

[quasi-normalcy]

(For those not in the know, @castformbignaturals is alluding to the fact Memphis is a majority Black city that stands to have its congressional representation entirely wiped out by redistricting led by the Republican governor of Tennessee who has, of course, welcomed the ICE occupation with open arms. Again, the project of MAGA is to reintroduce Jim Crow)

[noneedtofearorhope]

i think it's unfortunately a step beyond jim crow. they want to reintroduce chattel slavery.

everyone tells me that ADHD isn't an excuse for being lazy and that there are people with ADHD who have overcome their symptoms and are successful but every day I drag around an invisible dopplegänger of myself who is horrible and listless and always complains. and he is so heavy. I'm ambitious and I'm passionate but he isn't and the problem is that to get anywhere in life I have to grab him by the leg and pull him along the whole way, kicking and screaming, and sometimes it gets exhausting. sometimes he pulls me down with him. and it gets a bit difficult to explain to people why I'm lying down on the floor in pain when they can't see him.

[rouxelf]

This is genuinely one of the best descriptions of what it feels like to live with adhd.

I often think of it as if one half of my brain is a toddler who doesn’t want to do anything but play with whatever’s in front of them and doesn’t want to stop that to even eat or pee. I have to be very intentional about bribing or redirecting my Mental Toddler to do what we have to do, but it doesn’t always work. Sometimes they throw an absolute fit and refuse. And anyone who knows kids knows you have to take the time and work with them. You can drag them kicking and screaming, and yeah, sometimes you have to do that too. But very sparingly, because it’s miserable and traumatic for everyone involved.

But like op said, no one sees the toddler. They just see me sitting on the couch, staring at the wall or my phone.

Oh my God, my wife collapsed today from extreme hunger and went to the hospital.

My wife is three months pregnant and suffering from severe malnutrition. My youngest child, who is a year and a half old, cries constantly from hunger, and his mother is hospitalized.

For a week now I have been pleading with you to help me so that I don't lose any of my family members.

If anything happens to any of my family, I will never forgive anyone. Remember, I asked you for help and no one helped me.

[helpmotasem5]

We are living through very difficult times. I implore you, with compassion, to help my family.

I don't want to lose my wife or my child. They desperately need your help.

Please donate to save my family.

These may be my last words or the last time I write a post about my family, so I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and does not support me with a single word and ignores me.

[helpmotasem5]

My wife's condition is worsening due to a lack of food and medicine; she is suffering from severe malnutrition.

I feel like I'm breathing through the eye of a needle. Oh my God, I can't do anything for her.

[helpmotasem5]

My young child cries constantly, and I am unable to provide them with even the most basic necessities. We urgently need 250 euros to buy medicine and food for their health.

I ask for your help with a heart full of sorrow and loss. 😭

Help me save my family from this hell.

URGENT!! $3,000 NEEDED IN A MONTH TO SAVE A BABY!!

Chuffed link

Raneen, @a00h2, is my friend. She is trapped in Gaza, Palestine, with her family. She lost everything in the bombings and is now in poverty and homelessness. Her 1-year-old baby is in a respirator; he has very dangerous lung cancer and she needs to pay $3,000 more before the 8th of June to get him out of Gaza so he can receive proper treatment. My friend doesn't have that money. She can't help him alone. Please, I beg of you, don't just reblog. Donate, whatever you can. $40, $20, $10, $5, whatever you can, it will all be useful. Thank you so much.

Her account is vetted by @90-ghost here, by @gazavetters (#576) , and by @bilal-salah0. This Chuffed fundraiser goes directly to her; for transparency, you can dm @a00h2 if you want to confirm it.
