Thousands of protestors singing “Do You Hear The People Sing” in a Hong Kong international airport. This is part of a 3-day sit-in and is only one example of the many marches, rallies, and sit-ins that are occurring daily.
The people of Hong Kong are fighting. Please do not let their voices go unheard around the world.
Hong Kong’s huge protests, explained by Vox.
Just in case someone wonders what they’re protesting against.
This is happening RIGHT NOW in Hong Kong. It is August, 2019, and they are fighting for their freedom being taken away from the totalitarian government of China.
that post *has a realization* *has a realization* *h- yeah it’s right that’s what summer is all about
i’m having a really hard time grounding myself after yesterday, i feel like i’m stuck in limbo and in a constant panic
i so desperately would love to stop holding everything in and tell people what is is that i’ve been dealing with in my head for months now but i can’t because i’ll either be ridiculed and mocked for it or told i’m disgusting and subhuman lol!!!!!
today i saw smth that triggered a meltdown and i panicked and spiraled . i left (almost) every server i was in and deleted my other side blogs and am on my way to getting rid of this one and my ‘main’ and moving to a new url. i’m trying to change and get away from who i used to be. i feel very disgusted by myself and i want to explain everything and stop bottling all my emotions up but i’m very afraid of the backlash if i said what it was that got me like this. i’ve been dwelling on it for a long time and then with the new stuff today it just . yeah.it all built up and it’s too much but it is not sudden. i am safe
(sexual assault ment) dnt rb please lol!!
is it valid if ur like. coerced into sex by someone younger than you .
i am remaking, like this post/message me for new url. i will probably not be posting mp100 anymore or at least not until there is new content
This is revolutionary y’all. I remember being 13 and refused to go do any ceremony because my parents tried to force me to go through a bar mitzvah. By virtue of the masculine name alone I just couldn’t do it. After that, I felt very alienated from the Jewish community. Having this option is so important for us to repair these binary aspects of our culture (link)
i am very much considering , after i remake, deleting all my finished/in progress fics because a. i’m embarrassed b. not a fan of my writing
i know u guys loooove to make fun of people’s “weird”/“funny” triggers but if u could tag anything pertaining to mitski for the time being that would be rly cool thank u (d/nt rb)
i think i am a very very bad person but i will never share this with anyone else for fear of them agreeing that yes i am very bad
Our current landlady is the very image of one of those landlords who’d be spared the guillotine.
She’s an older, polite, maternal (white, middle class) woman who just happened to have enough money to buy a spare house, and is renting it to top up her pension. She reads The Guardian and asks after my family and does the occasional repair when necessary. She’s not one of those evil landlords.
She also just repeatedly lied to our faces about our contracts to try to get us to forfeit most of the rights we have as tenants. She also visits frequently, criticising how we live and reminding us that our home belongs to her. She also condescendingly and unnecessarily explains to us how boilers and washing machines and carpets work.
She explains to us how renting works.
She explains it with an indulgent smile, like a grandmother talking to a child, as if she’s being terribly patient about correcting our misunderstandings.
And she lies.
She lies because as much as she wants to convince us, everyone else, and even herself that she’s a good person, our entire relationship is based on the power she holds over us. She uses her wealth and position in society to extort payment from us, who have nowhere to live. We sacrifice to her the majority of the income we spend our lives earning, just so we can have a roof over our heads. But any time we don’t show proper deference to her, she could have us out on the street in weeks or months. We’d lose our home, because to her it is merely an asset which in no way belongs to us, the people who live there.
Today she repeatedly lied to us about our contract, and about the law, because she wanted us to have the minimum legal power possible. If I didn’t organise with a local tenants’ union, I wouldn’t have known my rights. And if I didn’t have the security of being a member of that union behind me, I never would have had the guts to challenge her. My housemate had no idea she was lying, and would have trusted her, signing away what few rights we had under the law.
As part of this tenants’ union, I’m always fighting with the worst landlords - the ones who keep people living in squalor, the ones with a dozen properties, the ones who are violent and abusive. But today has reminded me that even the “nice” landlords are still scum.
A genuinely good person who has enough spare money to buy a spare house (which is a lot of money! they wouldn’t need more!) would just let people who need a home live there, not bleed them of their income for the privilege of a warm place to sleep.
Never trust a landlord.
But more importantly, join a tenants’ union, and take back the power they hold over you. It was one of the most empowering things I’ve ever done.
In London, I recommend London Renters Union.
In Scotland: Living Rent.
In the rest of the UK: ACORN.
+ there are tenants’ unions all over the world, and housing co-ops where everyone who lives there part-owns their home and there’s no landlord to answer to
