While the world tries to amplify our voice, we here in Gaza are struggling against death in all its forms. This image reminds you of the names of our children, and today I write to you with a heart filled with hope in your humanity.

[ahmedaldani333]

I am a young child suffering from severe anemia, and my condition is deteriorating every day. My brother is a war casualty who also suffers from severe anemia and experiences frequent fainting spells. He is currently in the hospital in critical condition and desperately needs treatment and nutrition.

[ahmedaldani333]

We need your help before it's too late. We need your donations so we can buy medicine and food for my brother before it's too late. Please don't leave us to suffer alone. Help us survive. Please donate.

[closet-keys]

Please help my friend Ahmed. His family has been struggling with extreme food insecurity for months and both he and his brother are now living with severe anemia. They need money for nutritious food and medicine.

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Bracers of Sharpened Wit
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement) ___ While wearing these bracers, you deal an extra 1d6 psychic damage the first time you hit a creature with an attack using a weapon or an unarmed strike on each of your turns. The bracers have 3 charges for the following properties. They regain 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙎𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧. Whenever you deal psychic damage with the bracers, you can expend 1 of their charges to increase that damage by an additional 1d6. When you do, the next attack roll or ability check made by that target before the end of its next turn is reduced by the same number rolled on the additional d6. 𝙌𝙪𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜. Whenever you make either an ability check or saving throw that uses Dexterity or Intelligence, you can use your reaction to expend 1 of the bracer’s charges to use the other modifier for the roll. ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks! Access this and hundreds of other item cards, art files, and compendium entries when you support The Griffon’s Saddlebag on Patreon for as little as $3 a month!

Since Israel and the US have started bombing Iran, Israel has bombed Gaza almost every single day. Conditions in the strip grow even rockier than they were before. Food scarcity is a huge problem and the medical needs of the people are not being met. People are dying.

Please consider helping my friend Hamza, whose large family is currently struggling with their health due to malnutrition. His fundraiser is here.

Thank you!

[hamza-only]

The bombing is still ongoing, certainly targeting civilians in Gaza. Today they bombed a car, killing three people. I'm afraid I'll die.

[alkliliyfamliys-blog]

Unfortunately, my family is being killed in Gaza while the world watches and remains silent. Please take action, participate, do something.

have you ever posted the full version of that second screenshot? (can you?)

I don't think I've posted it to tumblr before, here she is :3

[captain-price-returns]

Sony is adding DRM. If you don’t connect to the internet in 30 days you can’t play any digital games you bought until you reconnect to the internet.

Good thing Sony hasn’t put out a game since 2015.

[captain-price-returns]

People really saying “just connect to the internet not a big deal” are missing the point. God forbid a natural disaster happens or you can’t pay your WiFi bill one month and just can’t play games you PAID for until you reconnect.

It doesn’t matter if you have internet, it’s a matter of principle. You shouldn’t be okay with PS arbitrarily taking away access to games you spent your money on. The more comfortable you get with this the worse it will get.

We’re frogs in the pot and they’re slowly raising the heat and some of yall aren’t noticing.

Hello transgender woman. You deserve partners who are *excited* to introduce you to their friends

[sophie-frm-mars]

When people talk about the disposability of transfeminine people it isn't just about the sharpest examples where someone is pointedly ostracised. Straight trans women know that lots of men don't want to admit they're with a trans woman, trans lesbians far more rarely express the same with cis partners. Many cis lesbians will date trans women and a subset of them are absolutely ride or die but the ones who aren't can be just as bad as cis men about this. Generally though, it's a subtler thing. I know trans women who have been parts of their respective friend groups of mostly cis people for years and years and been passed by as people just happen to form closer friendships with each other, with other transmisogyny exempt people, cis lesbians happy to date trans men but not trans women, events that include everyone but the transfems, spaces that exclude trans women or make us unsafe used for community spaces unthinkingly, and bit by bit the only trans woman in the friend group lags behind.

The "uninterrogated ick" is what I often think of this stuff as. Society teaches a level of disgust to everyone about certain groups of people in some different and some overlapping ways. For example people of colour, especially black people, experience forms of racism associated with a presumed uncleanliness. Homeless people, sex workers, queer people, "criminals", all these groups are stigmatised as unclean by the mainstream implicit biases spread unconsciously (and sometimes very consciously) in culture.

Trans women who have experienced harassment and ostracism campaigns experience a more intense form of the "uninterrogated ick". It is literally exactly all the same forces that ostracise trans women from society in general but dialled up to the nth degree. The Bad Tranny is unemployable, finds it harder to get housing, is fun to fuck but too risky to introduce to friends, and should be excluded any time someone feels uncomfortable. This is why trans women feel unsafe in spaces that spread callout posts, for the record, if anyone unaffected by transmisogyny needed that unpacking. The push and pull of this "ick" affects all transfeminine people, and the division between the good tranny and bad tranny is illusory - we can see this in how many stated reasons for ostracisms boil down to "she icked someone out and then was declared bad and ever since then when she shows up somewhere the ick is worse which is a crime against the people there".

Transgender woman: you deserve partners who are excited to introduce you to their friends. You deserve friends who are excited to introduce you to their friends. You deserve organising comrades, colleagues, community members who will check in on you, recognise your vulnerability and give you the space to just be. You deserve people in your life who proactively include you, not people who frown a little and shake their head when you're pushed out and certainly not people who resist helping you build up community and support around you. You deserve everything, do not accept less.

"When early settlers found an Aboriginal tool that looked like a hoe, it was dismissed because they had convinced themselves that there was no agriculture in Australia. If you're not looking at these tools with an open mind, they are considered aberrations. Alter your perspective by a few degrees, and the view is different. Robert Etheridge was palaeontologist to the geological survey of New South Wales and the Australian Museum in Sydney. In 1894, he speculated on the use of these 'hoes', and concluded that the myth that Aboriginal people had no knowledge of husbandry was a mistake based on prejudice. These implements have received very little study since that time, falling as they do outside Australian assumptions of Aboriginal achievement. Some commentators decided they were items of penis worship: the researchers assumed Aboriginal people were too backward to have cultivated the land, so the stones had to have a phallic significance. Australian scholarship has a variety of routes towards demeaning the first possessors of the soil."

Page 40-41 of "Dark Emu" by Bruce Pascoe (Australian Aboriginal author)

We also redirected rivers for watering harvest, use cultural burning to stimulate plants and kept track of all the plants and animals so that we best knew when to harvest what. We did farm, but it was with scientific knowledge to the benefit of nature, not against it.

Yet, they will always say we were and are primitive people.

they deleted my girlfriend, princess (url was manicpixiedreamshortstack). it happened while i was on the phone with faer, too.. fae got an email saying that faer account was marked as mature by a real person, and then was gone a couple hours later. no termination email, so there's no way to fight it.

most of these girls, princess included, are only alive because of the connections they made on this website. and staff is actively killing them by ripping these support systems away. this was Princess's only way of making enough money to get by, just like so many trans women tumblr tries to kill

if you could, please send princess and faer partner crow some money, help keep them alive this winter. they've had some expenses recently that have drained all they've got

[pendulousbunnyudders]

[hyenapup-aphros]

The situation is currently very dire

princess and crow's power went out last night and wont be returning until Monday. all the groceries they just bought are going to spoil, and there's currently no running water either, as the water pump is electric. please reblog and donate, please keep these trans women alive.
