really factual recounting with no embellishments whatsoever
my moroccan friend is stuck in the deportation center (hard to talk abt so dont ask me) and we're trying 2 get them out but at the same time theyre trying to organize help for a libyan queer person they met in there lol i really admire this kind of person like using their limited time on the phone to also try to arrange help for someone else. id like to think i would act the same way if i were ever imprisoned but who knows. hoping to not find out but you know how life is
Anyway we are trying 2 collect a legal fund for our friend Siman, they need it for a good lawyer who can prevent deportation to a country where they'll be persecuted and imprisoned likely, and for other expenses, this is the text from their other friends:
A dear friend, political activist, and queer feminist organizer fleeing persecution in Morocco is currently held in deportation detention near Istanbul (Tuzla). They urgently need €4,000 for legal representation, appeals, and basic necessities like food and phone access to endure these highly unsafe conditions.
Every contribution supports to secure their release and safety. Please

The entire point of, OK, my phone really wants to call it Anastasia so I guess we’re doing that? The entire point of Anastasia (as administered by a board-certified Anastasiologist) during sugary. Sugary? Haven’t I suffered enough? The entire point of Anastasia during augury. Jesus Christ. Hold up. You know what, augury is preferable to sugary. Augury is obviously performed by an auger (makes sense if you give it a think) whereas sugary is performed by…? A sugardaddy? NO THANK YOU. Anyway. The entire point of Anastasia is so that you don’t know what music your sturgeon. Fuck right off. Was playing. While you were under. You’re not supposed to wake up from Anastasia and immediately realize you managed to get earwormed by Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades” during your sugary.
trans women really dominating the indie scene rn huh. lena raine and jamie paige keep popping off and appearing in the best games you can find on steam. gooseworx has her show in theaters. like 80% of content creators i watch nowadays are trans women. and more and more keep popping up. age of the tgirl fr fr
why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic
He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.
Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.
Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.
And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?
Capitalism is disgusting.
Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj
What with GTA VI going up for pre-order i'd just like to remind everyone that rockstar conspired with the UK government to lock an 18-year-old away for life for hacking them.
it is always really palpable to me that like, when we discuss mental illness and advocacy, there's a large percentage of people who conceptualize the "real crazies" -- people with psychosis or schizophrenia, people with dissociative disorders that significantly impact their memory or day to day functions, people with recurrent suicidal episodes, people with actionable and severe self harm impulses, so on -- as an Other category that can't possibly be presently engaging in the conversation. you'll see this a lot especially when discussing things like mandatory reporting and institutionalization with people whose relatively mild and manageable mental illness have crafted them into self-declared experts; they'll tell you very confidently "hey, the institutionalization thing is actually overblown -- i've always been totally honest with my therapist and there's never been an issue! those laws are just there in case you say something really crazy to them." it betrays this real confidence on their part that there's no way they're talking to one of those frightening and unpredictable mentally ill people, the ones those laws are really there to punish save from themselves, because they'd of course be able to tell right away if somebody was the sort of irrational actor who needs and deserves to have their autonomy stripped at a moment's notice
how it feels sometimes
Uhhh. How'd that happen?
[More Comics]
Made a tumblr exclusive edition of the comic. Just for the haha funnies... not any other reason.
And then you can’t even say shit about bc people start trying to put you in a jacket and shit. Like omg it’s so strict???
much has been said already about the supreme court case and trans rights but today i'm thinking extra hard about trans kids who have been sent into the psych system for any reason, who have to bear the lack of autonomy innate to it but the extra sting of being denied the right to your name and your gender in sex-segregated facilities, by transphobic staff, etc.
i'm thinking extra hard about how we've ended up where we are, with trans kids at the center of so much hatred, because children are not seen as people with interiority or an ability to narrate their own experiences. we've decided it's alright to lock children up for horrible diagnoses that psychs throw around like they're nothing, to strip their autonomy completely and force them through humiliation, invasions of privacy, and endless torment by "professionals" whose power over every waking moment of their lives has no end. these things cannot be separated.
i'm thinking today of every trans child in a wilderness camp, in a residential treatment facility, in psych wards and PHP/IOP programs, especially those whose transness has been tied to unwellness. fuck the psych industry and the troubled teen industry and transphobia forever
He sure does love his fruits
We just not going to talk about how he can also do pottery? With chocolate?
And stickers!
he HAS A not chocolate version of that god damned bowl right there! TAUNTING US, and holding the not pastries kiwis!
this book is out now!!! it's a short read, less than 200 pages, and it's SO good. i literally had to pause halfway through just to send the author a message about how much i liked it. definitely leans more utopian than scientific, but that makes sense given the format, and i think it has a lot of good things to say.
once you really start thinking about how restrictive the world is for children and how many bullshit justifications we retroactively come up for it all the time, you can't stop seeing it everywhere. this book makes a good case for including children in our political efforts not as rhetorical devices but as an actual class of oppressed people.
Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."
This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find
Some people get existential dread from this
Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating
@makaeru peer review cos this made me check when the Sumerians happened and I forget how recent history is for every other continent. 7000 - 8000 years ago just isn't that long when you're in Australia, and the amount of detailed history we have access to here is wonderful and should be recognised more internationally
Source (non Aboriginal)
And a quote I picked out from a longer interview with an Aboriginal local elder about the area where he touched on the history
Source (the rest of the interview is really interesting and all transcribed, have a look if you're curious)
This is part of my Ancient Civilizations class that I teach, which does a whole week about Australia and the Torres Strait Islands because I was sick of never seeing them represented in USAmerican history contexts. With the help of @micewithknives and @acearchaeologist I've learned so many incredible things about Australia's past and it's been incredibly rewarding to share them with students.
My favorite fact about Aboriginal oral history is the fact that we pretty recently discovered that the Aboriginal myth of the 7 Sisters, an origin story for the Pleiades star cluster, accurately reflects a point TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO when two stars in the constellation got close enough together to no longer be distinguishable by the naked eye.
The story? 6 sisters running from something that took their 7th sister.

There's worse to come, folks. Strap in and stay strapped.
