help a trans girl with her bills for pride month please?
been looking for a new job closer to the new apartment me and my friends moved into, but in the meantime i could use some help with paying for stuff (i also need to get a new phone because mine is horribly cracked)
sentence mixing is fun but it's really hard for me without a spectrogram view, it's not as easy to see where the sounds stop and start and what types they are and stuff with a waveform...
i know this is like table stakes for usamerican culture but it was a really startling experience to play spelunky, a game id only ever heard glowing praise for from the entire video game industry, and immedairely be hit with like 40s style constant racism
In a lot of Hellenic magic, it was common to use a young boy as a medium for spirit possession, as they were considered especially spiritually pure, and thus easy for the spirits to speak through.
This spell, PGM IV 850, is a solomonic rite that involves the invocation of hundreds of spirits. This spell is notably more syncretized with lay-Judeo-Christian magic, and thus doesn't necessarily call for a boy. You can use a boy. Or a man. Whatever you choose.
A lot of the PGM is a catalogue of spells that have gaps for [insert your name here]. The idea being that a ritual practicioner would carry around a book of incantations with little spaces for whoever the subject of the rite would be. Thats what the "NN" means. It means [Add subject name / problem / subject here.]
Sometimes this has the humorous effect of a literally 2000 year old spell reading like "SPIRITS OF THE DAIMONIAC AIR I INVOKE YOU THROUGH THIS VESSEL, THE MAN OR LITTLE BOY INSERT NAME HERE" Followed by the names of a hundred demons.
In an era where technological advancements and the internet have brought the entire world together, it has become easy for individuals to voice their opinions, protest, and influence events around them. Gaza is dying in silence, or rather, it is dying before the eyes of the entire world. Every day, every minute, there is bombing and killing in Gaza, and all of this is happening live on television, yet no one is doing anything.
As I write this, four missiles from warplanes struck a densely populated civilian neighborhood in the heart of the Gaza Strip. The war continues; death does not cease at the hands of this machinery of genocide. Be our support; be our voice; do not leave us alone. Gaza is being exterminated; Gaza is being bombed. The war continues, and the suffering continues.
I am desperately trying to survive this genocide that has left nothing untouched. I am trying to collect donations to buy medicine for my father and my three-year-old niece, who has lived through this war. Please be a help to us, please donate. We need every donation. Please, please, please donate.
Friends, please don't hesitate to support us and donate. You are our hope. Please don't stop. Our entire lives depend on these donations. Please donate, I beg you.
Nader's new blog is up at @abdasalam-2000 ! The donation link is the same as the reblog, please donate he's losing traction because of the persistence of bans across palestinian crowdfunds.
it's just frustrating how you can point out that none of the problems with AI are new and people will interpret that to mean "everything is fine and we just have to accept this new normal", rather than understanding that to mean "we need to change our thinking and tactics to address these issues more broadly and at their root causes instead of buying into AI exceptionalism, which may involve reevaluating other technology we're already alright with"
i guarantee you no person with a conscience is Pro Data Centers Poisoning The Water, and there are a lot of reasons why someone would want to point out that this phenomenon predates ai that don't just come down to running interference for tech industry ghouls.
You can access it here. Please reblog this post when you see it so more folks can get access and so I can get more recommendations to add to it lmfao

"Anonsee, what is Transfeminist Womanism?"
Transfeminist Womanism itself is a synthesis of both eponymous ideologies, seeking to fill the gaps formed within each that often leave out Black trans women - racism within transfeminism, transmisogyny within womanism - when Black trans women are often the people that need those ideologies the most. Transfeminist Womanism is a primarily Abolitionist ideology, finding value in the rhetoric, knowledge, tactics, and tools of anarchism, communism, and other ideologies without falling directly into any of those categories.
Additionally, I've curated a "Foundational" folder that gives guided reading to help understand the underlying principles and thoughts behind Transfeminist Womanism.
If you're an author of works in the archives and you'd like to be added to the tip list, please send me a DM and I'll add your information. For fiction titles and art, I'm only accepting works from Black and/or transfemme authors/artists to be added to the archives.
NEW: If you are Black and/or Transfemme and would like to potentially include your art in the archive - visual, audio, or otherwise so long as its digital, DM me!

Archivist's note: Remade the post because I updated a bunch of file organization and standardized the file naming much to my chagrin the past several days. This should make it easier to find items AND search the archives. Thank y'all so much for your support in this, it really really means a lot.
this a beautiful archive, and includes work by one of my elders and mentors Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin who, along with his wife Jonina Ervin, are organizers, writers, and all around lovely people currently living and agitating in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Lorenzo needs emergency dental surgery, and they are raising $$ via fundrazr. i feel appreciative to live in a time where i can support living members of a rich political tradition, who have fresh ideas on the path forward and hands on knowledge of what works and what doesn't with regards to organizing. their work is foundational to my thought processes, as well as many active organizers today - please consider engaging with both their writings and contributing to their current life expenses!
Hey, if you’re disabled (of any kind), Mad/Insane, or “undiagnosed but there’s definitely something happening”, please come read this.
Especially if you’re a disabled transfemme. I know that as of writing, we’ve had a shitty couple days.
And if y’all can share it otherwise, whether that’s reblogging this or sending the link to the disabled/mad/whatever we are people in your life, I’d really appreciate it.
