thats all you get to know about me, what are you a cop?

Tumblr is silencing my friend Aboud because he is a Palestinian from Gaza.

All he has done is advocate for his family and share his experiences. But because the powers that be have abandoned the Palestinians, he is banned, blocked, and silenced.

Keep Aboud’s story alive, keep his message circulating. Hes just trying to help his family. Hes trying to raise funds so his little brother can sleep comfortably. Hes trying to raise funds for his parent’s illnesses. Hes trying to raise money for his own medical care. Please use the link below to donate to Aboud and his family.

Help us survive after 600 days of war and hunger.

My name is Aboud, a Palestinian from Gaza. For more than 600 days, my family and I have been trapped in the nightmare of war. I lost my home

His campaign is verified, #408

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

[villainessbian]

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

here are some additional requirements I would add to the United States presidency:

you are not eligible for the presidency if you are over the age of 65, if you turn 65 in office, that is fine but you cannot campaign if you are over 65

you cannot be president if you are a felon

you cannot be president if you have a personal net worth over $8 million

you cannot be presidency if you have had to file for bankruptcy in a business venture

you cannot be president if you cannot pass a basic neurological exam

you cannot be president if you have been convicted of or found liable for any sex crime, domestic violence or sexual harassment. unproven allegations are cause for investigation and can result in immediate termination from office if proven.

you cannot be president if you have been divorced more than once

you cannot be president if you never smoked weed out of a soda can in high school

you have to be up to date on all of your shots and forklift certification

[byjove]

straight cis white men are barred from holding executive office, if you’re a cisgender white guy and you want to run for president, you have to kiss another man with tongue for at least 15 minutes on national television and you’re disqualified if you display any sign of disgust

sorry to be a broken record every month but christ menstruation is a stupid concept. oooooh excuse me for not getting pregnant, why the fuck is there goo falling out of me about it? grow the fuck up and reabsorb that shit for nutrients.

[carolofthebell]

The lack of punctuation initially led me to assume that “christ menstruation” was a new irreverent way to refer to the way some denominations take the sacrament of communion monthly instead of weekly like others.

I was ready for some scathing inter-denominational reads but then I hit the word “pregnant” and had to reevaluate.

[muffinlance]

But going back to OP @batmanisagatewaydrug : there are ways to give your period the boot semi-permanently and safely!

Research options and talk with your doctor, but I haven't had a period in years thanks to my hormonal IUD. My kind is literally prescribed for heavy/painful periods as well as birth control.

Viva la fuck that bodily shit revolution!

How Long Does It Usually Take for Mirena to Stop Your Periods?

Mirena is a prescription IUD that affects periods in different ways. Find out what to expect from your periods using Mirena and signs it is

TL;DR: 20% of people stop their periods completely. Everyone else has the joy of having them at least dialed the fuck down, because it literally works by thinning the lining that sheds during your period.

I plan on offering my daughter the option for one of these immediately upon it becoming possible, because why SHOULD she have a period for the majority of her lifespan just because Biology Says So. Naw man, if she wants to unsubscribe from monthly issues I'm 110% behind her.

Also! It reduces some types of uterine cancer!

GET AN IUD YOU'LL THANK YOURSELF LATER

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

jesus god. this post has breached containment so hard people are explaining birth control to me (sex educator). unprecedented.

[ravendognerd]

@batmanisagatewaydrug Can young children use IUDs? (Its been 20 years but) when my sister was young they just had her go on hormonal birth control to treat her heavy periods. I would assume there would be concerns with the child still growing and how an IUD would impact that?

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

IUDs are perfectly safe for young people to use, especially since it's a long-term form period management that doesn't require daily upkeep like hormonal birth control pills. they're also the most effective form of birth control anyone can be taking, which makes them a great safety tool for young people (or any people) who are having or are interested in having the kind of sex that could lead to pregnancy.

IUDs are a safe and suitable option for anyone menstruating, and have been approved and recommended for use by young people by organizations including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (x).

i got banned from using both gendered restrooms in school, let me explain:

i am not out to my parents, but everyone at school was chill so freshman year i thought “i can use the guys since i am in no real danger”.

my state apparently has a ban on transgender students using restrooms of their preferred gender, so my english teacher the next year ratted me out and said it was “for my own safety” (it was not).

the next week was a nightmare since i had to use the women’s restroom and i would get verbally (and almost physically once) assaulted by girls telling me that i shouldn’t be there since i’m a guy and things like that (there are two other trans guys at my school and they didn’t deal with that somehow, but they are openly out. i’m pretty stealth).

i was reported a few times and the staff had to make a compromise, so now i am only allowed to use two restrooms in my large school. i can use the nurses restroom and the front office restroom. my school also has a stupid time limit on when you’re out to go, and since it usually takes me said time limit to even walk there, i have also gotten in trouble for that too.

as much as i joke about it with friends, i am genuinely burnt out as i cannot do anything about this since i can’t really come out (my parents aren’t bigots, they’re just a big old fashioned and think i’m a butch).

This is transandrophobia

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

In general another pet peeve of mine about whitewashing is how we're expected to believe that it was not visible to the artist.

Like, if it's maybe a tad bit lighter? Okay. I usually let that slide. God knows my mobile and my monitor look completely different, solutions ineffective so far. Maybe you're still learning skin tone vs background. Okay. I don't get upset at that.

But you had to go all the way to the other side of the color wheel for some of these whitewashings and you're gonna look me in my Black ass eyeballs and tell me you "couldn't tell". 😐 Especially when all the other colors are the exact same 😐 It's almost insulting lmao like do you really think I'm stupid enough to go for that, or are we all just socialized into knowing I'll be forced to 🤣

[creatingblackcharacters]

Visible difference, but, I can let slide with exceptions. ✅

😑 so I must truly look like Booboo the fool, to you. ❌

Of course he wasn't. He was at a party with me that day.

Just so we're clear both Hamas and Hezbollah are 100% justified in any aggression towards Israel.

Both of these resistance groups are a response to Israel's violent occupation and invasions in the region. Hezbollah emerged in 1982 after Israel invaded Lebanon. Hamas was created after the first Intifada in 87.

There's genuinely no argument downstream of this reality that is worth listening to. You can't criticize people for resisting occupation. You also can't expect these groups to disarm while the very threat that created them still exists.

[milf-king]

And yes I support all violent acts by Hamas and Hezbollah towards the Zionist entity

"Why do you buy books when the library is right there?"

Because publishing houses will not continue printing paper books if libraries are their only customers.

Also, I like being able to read at my leisure and generally have books at hand.

[its-the-blob]

#public libraries are good because they let people access books they might never otherwise read#private book ownership is good because it's Yours#physical books are good because they last a long time and again it's Yours#ebooks are good because you can fit a whole library into the physical space of a single book and they're cheaper to produce#audiobooks are good because they're accessible to people with eyesight or visual reading issues and leave your hands free#in conclusion: all books are good and people should enjoy them however and whenever they can#(lest it be misunderstood I agree with you completely OP I just also really like books in general and it got away from me)

YES. all books. every kind
