DPC and DPL.  Dead People’s Clothes and Dead People’s Leather. Their toys, their paintings of half naked, naked, screwing men.  The statues.  The leather.  The sling.  The posters.  The ... all of it. We’d literally Straighten homes.  Depending.  Some families knew and were fine. Or more ok.  But pictures of other guys on phones was the least of it. I have... leather that’s been passed through three or four men who’ve died before getting to me.  They’re the heirlooms now, passed down chosen families.   Sometimes there were crews.  We’d show up as soon as possible, as a unit.  We’d hit the bedrooms first.  Clear out closets, under beds, bedsides.  We’d donate, throw out, take mementos.  Pass on.  Secret lives and secret, us only treasures.   Then we’d leave.  For some family’s you never talked about it.  They never knew.  It was better all around.   I have vests, gloves.  A belt.  Arm bands.  Paintings.  T-shirts.  Photos, undeveloped film that’d I’m still somewhat terrified to try to get developed (lol).  We live on in the living rooms of others.

before the next british royal dies read up on war crimes and colonialism and actual awful shit instead being ableist with "their skin was purple" or "they looked too crippled to function" or whatever. seriously there is so much to work with. you have SO much material. I have purple skin too but I never did war crimes and I feel like one of those is a bit more important. last time there was so much proud ableism (even from people who literally claimed to be anti-ableist) I had to unfollow most of my dash. I got a ton of distressed messages from other disabled and terminally ill people who watched the internet prioritize mocking aspects of health and disability over being a horrible racist piece of shit. yes even all the zombie jokes you had so much fun making

find some quotes. find some crimes. post the crabs. stop being ableist. it is not that hard

Obama specifically ordered this kid killed because “he might have been influenced by his father’s teachings”. Like, that’s it. That was enough for the Obama administration to kill an American citizen. No trial, no questions. Nothing. Obama himself, personally, went “You say this kid’s dad was a terrorist? Well, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree so we better kill the kid too” and then they did.

[bigwordsandsharpedges]

To be clear, this wasn’t some shadowy faceless CIA operation where some secret agents needed the President to sign a paper approving their idea. This was literally ordered by the President himself. Obama killed a kid deliberately, on purpose, without being tricked or forced. He did this because he had a bad feeling about the kid and some people told him the kid could inspire people to commit terrorist attacks by telling them about how the US illegally murdered his father without a trial.

Both al-Awlaki and his father were American citizens. They had rights. In the US, even criminals get due process and a list of rights specifically for people who are accused of crimes. For example, the right to a fair trial by a jury of their peers, or the right to have a trained lawyer work with you, among many other rights.

[hematite2]

Forgot to mention, according to the Obama administration, he wasn’t even killed, he was ‘erroneously deprived of life’

[bigwordsandsharpedges]

Right, and they also posthumously designated all the innocent people killed in drone strikes to have been “enemy combatants”.

[ororomunroedontpullout]

Also let it be known that this shouldn’t enrage you because “they were American citizens with rights” it should make you mad because of how the American war machine will kill innocent people regardless of rights or citizenship status.

It's come to my attention that a good portion of the younger generation has not been made aware of one of the greatest and most hated PILLARS of millennial society.

So I apologize, but I must take on this task. A new hand must touch the beacon. The knowledge must be passed on. The chain can not be broken.

So.

The Game.

The following are the rules of The Game:

there is no winning The Game

once you know of The Game, you are always playing the game

the point of The Game is to not think about The Game

if you think about The Game, you have lost The Game, and must announce this to those around you - causing them to also lose The Game

A "reset period" of roughly an hour or two before loss announcements is common in colloquial rules to allow yourself and those around you to properly temporarily "forget" about The Game, however that is not an official rule.

Go forth, you next generation, and I am sorry.

[butterflypeaflowertea]

every single day i think about how horribly rumi’s poems have been translated from persian into english & how they’ve been turned from gorgeous poems abt islamic spirituality into these… pithy vapid little quotes that white people post as instagram captions. white scholars & translators straight-up falsified and misrepresented the essential themes of and islamic mysticism inherent to his work in favor of turning it into easy-to-consume love poetry & it never fails to make me angry

[butterflypeaflowertea]

here’s a good thread to read through abt this exact topic as a start !!

[lothloriien]

because i know most of you can’t be bothered to look at the thread:

Doc, what are the top five items food banks LOVE to receive? I'm doing a collection soon and want to ask for specifics.

MONEY. WE WANT MONEY. MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY. WE CAN DO SO MUCH WITH IT. WE HAVE ACCESS TO DEALS YOU COULD NEVER. MONEY

That aside.

 I’m only going to talk about food items but if your food bank takes personal items, a lot of times diapers, feminine hygiene products, etc, are very very welcome. 

1) Canned chicken and beef 

looooooove this stuff. It’s expensive, it lasts forever, it tastes good and it can be used a variety of ways. This stuff is fucking catnip to food banks, it’s so hard for us to provide proteins. 

2) Fancy nut butters

Peanut butter is a standby for food banks as a shelf-stable inexpensive protein, but if we have a family with a kid with a peanut allergy that’s not going to work. Non-peanut butters are expensive and it’s something we hardly ever see donated. (we also like peanut butter, but that’s easier for us to buy ourselves than non-peanut butters)

3) Canned or packaged tuna

You may notice a trend here in shelf-stable proteins. And yeah. That’s basically it, so I’m not going to keep harping on it. But this stuff is a godsend. 

4) Easy breakfast things for kids (Granola bars, instant oatmeal, and the like) 

Whatever Donald Trump tells you, most people who get food from food banks are actually working their asses off and so they have to leave Obama to raise their baby or whatever, and they don’t have a lot of time in the morning. Things like this that kids can make for themselves are expensive. (Another trend you may be noticing–donate shit that costs a lot of money. That helps us more than all the shitty green bean cans in the world) But they are so helpful for busy working families where the parents may not have a set schedule and sometimes little Amanda is making her own breakfast before she runs off to school. Don’t let kids go to school hungry. 

5) Shelf-stable juice

This is one people never think of! But if you show up with a bunch of (preferably reduced sugar stuff) bottles of juice at my door, oh man, you are gonna get so many check mark and okay hand emoticons. This stuff is great for kids, and it doesn’t require refrigeration until it’s opened, so it works great for food drives. 

[kesonafyren]

But seriously, give money

And it’s way better food, too, anything you get prepackaged has A TON of sugar and/or salt in it…collecting cans may be more exciting than writing a check, but if the point is to help people, the check is going to get a lot more done

[pennie-dreadful]

Yoooooo heads up for those of you with kids, I know this time of year schools start holding canned food drives so keep this in mind if you’re able to give.

[kyraneko]

collecting cans may be more exciting than writing a check, but if the point is to help people, the check is going to get a lot more done .

hint: the point should be to help people.

Hi everyone! Today I have some resources for learning the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). I think it’s a really helpful tool for language learners, not just linguists. I also suggest you find the Wikipedia page for your language’s phonology (Here’s Spanish) so you can figure out what sounds exist in your language and how they are transcribed.

TypeIt IPA (IPA keyboard)

IPA Chart (just play around on here and learn some sounds!)

IPA Transcription Practice

Phonetic Transcription Exercises

IPA Reader (pronounces your input, available in many languages)

Not shaving and not wearing make up are literally nonbehaviors. They’re a complete lack of action. But doing nothing is considered masculine because women are not allowed to just be. this goes double for trans women.

I notice alot of my followers on here skipping these posts just to mess with my lgbt ones, suspiciously the white popular ones.

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

They were murdered in cold blood.
