Contacting your reps directly will do literally so much more than signing a petition, and it really doesn't take that much longer.

JK Rowling is now completely, 100%, on the record, TERF on main.

She is openly on Twitter now suggesting through thinly veiled transphobic dogwhistles that what defines a woman is “having periods” (and that having periods makes you a woman) and that trans women shouldn’t be considered part of women’s global experience.

[girlsgoneavon-deactivated202110]

The term “people who menstruate” includes cis women who menstruate. The experiences and identity of cis women who menstruate are not being erased by inclusive language. This terf rhetoric is like saying the term “artist” is erasing the existence of sculptors by not solely referring to them, as if their sculptures aren’t still right fucking there in the museum alongside the paintings.

[neverstoppedfeeling]

How come “Trans women are women” but cis women are “women who mensturate” ?????

If you actually go to a third world country and try to talk to people like this (with your analogies), they would not listen to you. What you are calling “transphobic” is actually how most of the world works. To deny this and vilify a women simply stating a fact shows your first world privilege. 

[heresatoast]

Hey I know that we’re dealing with something huge right now but trump is trying to allow adoption agencies to refuse services to lgbtq+ families.... not only is this descrimination but there are TOO many children in the system for them to allow this. Those kids need homes.... I’m disgusted

[heresatoast]

My guess is that they’re trying to pass this kind of stuff while the country is distracted and focused on other things??? Don’t let up on the current movement at hand, but please give this the attention it needs to be stopped

This paragraph on TV Tropes perfectly explains why Sonic and Amy’s relationship in Boom is better than most of the other iterations out there.

[neverstoppedfeeling]

See I disagree with this a lot because saying Game! Amy has never called Sonic out is simply not true. She stood up to him when he was about to kill Gamma, she regularly complains about his behavior. Not only that, but her following him on his adventures wasn’t just about her “stalking” or marrying him; she went on those adventures because she wanted to be there, apart of the team. I think later media like Sonic X did turn it into more of a forcing him to settle down kinda thing, so I understand why people have that perception. 

I also get why people like the Boom! universe since it’s more mutual but I think the wiki summary does oversimplify their game interactions. 

[autisticshadowthehedgehog]

hey so in sonic x and the archie comics they claim that the rings shadow wears around his wrist are power inhibitors in order to make his powers easier to control right

so like

in that case

amy what can you do

[chanceofrayne]

Alright time for me to shine. So in a very obscure gba game sonic battle you find out that her rings are actually super heavy training weights so this post is spot on

[trulytaka]

sasuke really did abandon the 3 people who’d follow him through hell and back and still love and support him unconditionally for the ones who made him believe he deserves to suffer and atone for his “sins” huh

WAYS TO SUPPORT/BE AN ALLY

Here is a compilation of places to donate (IF you can, simply reblogging and sharing this can help) and petition to sign. I found these websites and organizations on twitter.

DONATIONS

THE MINNESOTA  FREEDOM FUND: Donate to this to collect funds to pay jail bonds for the protesters who get arrested.

BLACK LIVES MATTER: An organization fighting for the BLM movement. Donate if you can. 

BLACK VISIONS MN: an organization that is led by Black, Queer and Trans people. Donate if you can.

NAACP Legal Defense Fund: Fights for the overall equality fight. Donate if you can.

PETITIONS

Willie Simmons has spent 38 years in prison for a $9 robbery. He had two prior convictions similar to robbery that he served time for. He was prosecuted under the Alabama Habitual Offender law and was given a life sentence for his third strike - stealing 9 (NINE) dollars. Sign his petition. 

Breonna Taylor was killed by police who were conducting an UNANNOUNCED drug raid, where they gave no request to enter. They bashed her door and entered, shooting her EIGHT times. They were in the WRONG HOUSE. 

George Floyd was killed by a police officer who knelt on his neck and suffocated him to death, after George pleaded with the officer and told him he couldn’t breathe. The officer had pulled him from where he sat in his car on an alleged FORGERY. You can also text “FLOYD” to 55156

ARREST THE OFFICERS WHO KILLED GEORGE FLOYD: The main police officer who murdered George is being kept in PROTECTIVE CUSTODY. You probably have heard he was arrested, but this is NOT TRUE. He was placed under PROTECTIVE custody because of the riots and “threats” on his life. 

If you know of ANY other organizations or petitions, PLEASE ADD TO THIS LIST. The fight for justice doesn’t end here, it will never end. Especially when the president of the United States calls white supremacists good people and protesters of a mans death THUGS. USE YOUR VOICE. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE. FUCK COPS. FUCK “BLUE LIVES”. ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER!

[waveridden]

the minnesota freedom fund is asking folks to donate to other organizations instead. the specific ones they listed are black visions, linked above, and these two:

northstar health collective, organized healthcare professionals working with anti-authoritarian groups

reclaim the block, a collective that aims to redistribute funding away from police and towards more community-oriented projects in minneapolis

these are the links i send to my facebook friends who keep running their mouths about “the protests hurting the community”

minnehaha food shelf & calvary church food shelf are both centered in the south minneapolis area where the riots started. the grocery stores in the area have been decimated, so food shelves and food insecurity charities need a lot of love right now.

northside funders group is a philanthropic group in the twin cities that’s using all its funds right now for helping local businesses

migizi is a native american media/history nonprofit whose office was destroyed in the riots

we love lake street is devoting funds specifically towards rebuilding the lake street area in south minneapolis

some more groups that could use your help

the healing justice foundation is a national nonprofit that’s specifically focusing on mental health resources for bipoc right now

ctul is a nonprofit focused on low-wage workers and workers rights in minnesota

mpd 150 is focused on policing and specifically trying to reroute the conversation from “we need to change police procedures” to “the police need structural reform”

the spiral collective is providing funds for supplies, medic kits, and other things that protesters will need on the ground

unicorn riot is a media collective that has had people on the ground filming every night in minneapolis

last but not least some more bail funds

About what?

[sometimestuesday-deactivated202]

“Being born a woman is an awful tragedy. Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars—to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording —all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night.”

Stealing a plotline from a show for your daydreams like

[apocalypse-friend]

Fuck i decided to rewatch once upon a time and the pilot is still one of the ebst pilots I have ever seen. I'm so bitter that it got so bad.

I need closure. I need to rewrite the show and get my closure, man.

[neverstoppedfeeling]

the best way to get closure is to watch once upon a time in wonderland

it was a complete story with closed character arcs and gives you everything the main show didn’t. 

[shutyourmoustache]

Jeff Bezos and Amazon are a fucking blight upon the working class. He got rich by treating rank and file employees like hot garbage toiling under dehumanizing, backbreaking conditions for shitty pay. When there are this many random strangers across various sectors/departments of a single company sharing similar horror stories, that can’t be dismissed as just a few disgruntled ex-employees. Grievances like these are why I quit using Amazon. They made my life easier at the expense of thousands of hardworking people being mistreated and disrespected behind closed doors. (thread)

[dumbdiscodragon]

Amazon WANTS its workers to be miserable you know why? Because the job pays $15 an hour, so there's always someone new to exploit. where I'm at we got a city full of ppl sick of working $7-$10/hr and just trying to pay rent etc. $15/hr is very appealing. They used to exclusively hire temps to prevent people from unionizing. They got in trouble for that so instead they just keep the turnover as high as possible. The way unionizing works, its very hard to do when there's a different set of employees every few months. They know this.

Amazon also makes drastic changes to how things are run at our warehouse with little to no notice all the time. Communication between warehouse workers and van drivers is abysmal and everyone is always at odds with each other. They got "promotions" that require more work and responsibility, but don't pay more. The whole place is set up to make workers get frustrated and leave tbh. Amazon would rather cut off its own arm than let its employees form a union.

And tbh this is just the tip of the fucking iceberg. The shit that hits the media is just the tip of the fucking iceberg.

Also all those benefits they advertise are only available to "full time" employees so everyone who isn't management is only part-time. They try make it sound like they're doing so much for their workers in ads, but they don't follow through. it's all loopholes and scams tbh. They also do shady shit like just not honoring their own damn policies.

Source: I used to work for them, my boyfriend still does.

[shutyourmoustache]

Wowwwww. Thank you for even more insider info. I cannot believe how that company operates with total lack of care or dignity for their employees. It’s fucking obscene and goddamn ghoulish. I need people to stop acting like $15 an hour is some incredible pay that justifies treating human beings like chattel. “If they don’t like it, don’t work there.” What an overprivileged load of shit. When people are desperate for work with bills to pay and families to provide for, they’ll work under the worst conditions. That’s a fact, and Amazon preys upon people in those situations.

It fucking sickens and angers me so much. I wanna scream when I hear people brag about how cheaply they bought something off the site and how quickly it arrived. Those conveniences all tie back to how poorly workers in the company are treated. Also buying everything off Amazon strengthens it’s goal to basically monopolize almost any market. Soon they’ll be able to charge any price they want if they’re the only game in town. I feel like that’s when most folks will realize how much impact the company has on them, and it won’t seem so much like a problem that only theoretical and distant others have to deal with.
