liberals be like: who wants to get evicted at gun point because your poor, but by a good cop!!!

[queeranarchism]

Our Pink Cops will evict you at gunpoint, but they’ll be LGBT-friendly about it!

A cop, pinning me to the wall and dislocating my shoulder: WHAT ARE YOUR PRONOUNS WHAT ARE YOUR PROUNOUNS

[budas-wagon-deactivated-deactiv]

Lmao, yall joke, but when I got arrested and ziptied being lead to the paddywagon the cop was askin info on the way and he’s like: “what’re uh…yer pronouns and all..”

And I was like “wait what…..why do you need that?” Nd he’s like “errr uh we have to ask.”

So many people never ask and just assume, so I almost fell for the trick, I really was like almost giddy about being asked completely forgetting where I was, but then I had to jump back into the closet cuz i realized it didn’t seem right, so I said “uh……he”.

I found out later that other GNC people who gave their true pronouns were all placed in isolation and subjected to worse treatment than the rest of us, including assault.

Liberals are our enemy too.

[madrantings-deactivated20190708]

yuuuuuuuup! I was asked my pronouns when arrested too and same deal trans prisoners are put in solitary so fuck that shit!

[budas-wagon-deactivated-deactiv]

😡A BIG ANGRY😠

[ayellowbirds]

keeping these tags because they’re damn true: #unless you are in an explicitly safe and queer-friendly place ALWAYS assume being asked for ur pronouns is a trap#bc it. always. is.

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters

Hey writers!

As of January 16, 2025, Microsoft has decided to automatically enable their AI service, CoPilot, on Word - even if you've previously turned off the service. They've also changed the process to disable it.

If you want to disable it again, go to:

Options -> CoPilot -> Uncheck "Enable CoPilot"

Hope this helps!

reminders for today:

if you or someone you know might need it in the next few years, purchase plan b. the shelf life of plan b is 4 years, and we might not be able to access it as easily as we can now in the days ahead.

if you can, purchase books that project 2025 is looking to ban.

mass deportations are starting. if you see ice vehicles or agents, yell ice raid and la migra as loud as you can.

if someone asks who you voted for, keep your mouth shut. they’re fishing for traitors.

if anyone, anyone at all asks about your neighbors or their legal status in the us, you know nothing. don’t be the reason that their family is separated.

if anyone asks about your religion or lack thereof, keep it vague. this administration will look for any excuse to persecute you.

your friends are trans or queer? for the next four years they’re not. don’t expose anyone’s status as a trans or queer person to anyone else, even if you think you can trust them.

did someone you know get an abortion? no, they didn’t. it was a miscarriage if anyone asks.

in short, don’t be a snitch, and keep to yourself these next four years. we’ll make it through this even if it seems hopeless at times.

this is all i can think of at the moment, but i’ll be adding on to this as the day continues.

we can survive this. we’ve survived before, and we’ll survive again.

So many people do not understand the relationship between climate change and cold weather.

If you see this post it is important to send it to someone else so they too can understand

People hardly ever change their minds in front of you...the conversation becomes one of a series of slow drips that builds up to a realization

‘Essential’: nearly 400 incarcerated firefighters deployed as LA battles wildfires

The firefighters earn $5.80-$10.24 per day plus $1 an hour when responding to active emergencies, according to CDCR

the 14th amendment of the US constitution in no way abolished slavery. it merely restructured the victim pool.

just wanted to remind everyone again not only of the 3,000+ resources offered through our Liberation Library but also of the study guides for beginners offered under each of our social justice topics!

resources can be organized by type (article, novel, podcast, video, etc.) as well as filtered and searched through. we’ve tried to make our system much more accessible than our former platform on google docs so this is such an exciting development to share with everyone.

please share to promote equitable access education!

hey, have you guys ever seen the life expectancy by state charts?

[d0n-d13g0]

COVID

[byjove]

Yes COVID but the life expectancy was actually trending downwards before the pandemic and this map shows the start difference in access to medical care and general quality of life state by state.

[byjove]

I hope these additional maps make the problem a little bit clearer. I am so tired of the classist, elitist and frankly racist attitudes towards southern states and states with rural populations. No one deserves this. The difference in quality and quality of life is staggering. It is insane that your life and the value of your labor means less because of where you were born in this country.

[butterflypeaflowertea]

basically if you are lonely rn even if you are so lonely you think you could just die because you will never stop being lonely you have to keep going regardless because things will not always be that way and wonderful people will enter your life when you least expect it. this sounds totally hollow i’m sure because these kinds of reassurances sounded hollow to me when i was so lonely i thought i could just die but i am okay now and i love people who love me too and you will also be okay and you will also love people who love you too.

appalachia is devastated. towns i loved, towns i visited all the time, are gone. not damaged, GONE. they are leveled to the ground. there is nothing left but rubble and ruin. people are dead. appalachia is poor to begin with and relies on tourism for a lot of its income, and multiple of those tourist locations are just...gone.

my town is okay, but it's flooded and wrecked. trees are blocking all but one way out of our neighborhood. power lines are hanging limp in the roads. we've been without power for over 24 hours and will continue to be without power for likely another 24+. disabled people and poor people are GOING to die from this. gods save appalachia.

[the-elder-polls]

it's always a hit or miss with appalachian charities. a lot are just evangelism with no action behind what they do. i suggest looking into them before donating.

operation airdrop

nc community foundation

mountain projects

homeward bound

manna food bank

[idreamofagravedeepandnarrow]

adding some additional photos from the other side of the mountains here in northeast tennessee. there has been genuinely catastrophic flooding in many areas and billions of dollars of damage across NETN and WNC. we are not built to withstand this. 33 people are currently missing in unicoi county alone

[the-elder-polls]

to those of you reblogging this, thank you. i have not seen one negative comment about appalachia and i cannot put into words what that means as someone who has lived here for their entire life. we are used to being mocked, scorned, and dismissed, to being the butt of classist jokes, and y'all aren't doing that. thank you. so much.

[redarmyscreaming]

This is heartbreaking. When you see all the uhaul vans of people trying evacuate......
