Intro post!

Our friend Oscar from Uganda needs help building a new life with his community in a queerphobic country. Here is his fundraiser, please donate and/or share if you can!

Help Oscar a vulnerable Ugandan queer refugee at Gorom camp at East African camp

(A post from a queer Sudanian refugee who can't set up a fundraiser in his own country.)

We go by the name Saros and by they/them and shi/hir collectively. Don't bother with individual alter pronouns unless you know us well, we prefer to be referred to as a plural system and a one whole by folks we don't know well. 

Commissions are closed at least until we move out, asks and DMs are open. We are comfortable with horny stuff, but we prefer getting them on our NSFW side blog, @neither-polite-nor-heterosexual. 

Our other side blogs focused on queer and disabled pride and education are @ovotestes-culture-is, @i4i-otp-til-the-death-of-me, @this-is-bottomphobia, @this-is-subphobia and @epilepsy-and-seizure-culture-is.

Here is our AO3. | Here is our Kofi.

Here is a google doc compiling various articles and papers on potential extraterrestrial life on K2-18b.

There is no DNI, because they don't work and we don't really care.

We tag potentially triggering topics in our posts and reblogs. The tw [thing] tag is for the explicit instance of depiction of the thing. The plain [thing] tag is more for the discussion of certain topics. The trigger tags mostly include various forms of bigotry, discrimination and otherwise harmful behaviours. Feel free to filter out any of them.

That’s about it for now. Take care and stay safe!

Donate to Help a Trans Sex Worker Take a Break, organized by Jack Parker

Hi, I'm Jack (he/him), a chronically poor trans hooker trying to keep his head abov… Jack Parker needs your support for Help a Trans Sex W

This fundraiser would allow me to take a few weeks break from this intense work schedule, pay off what I owe to friends, and to manage a slightly lower work load for the month after until I can begin selling sex regularly again to increase my income once my baby becomes eligible for 2 days a week of government funded childcare. Without this I cannot make next month's rent or bills.

I hate having to share so much person information to be considered worthy of support, but at the same time I know people are wary of being scammed and would rather not donate to people with other options besides fundraising. You can read the full details of my current situation at the GoFundMe link.

Please do not feel obligated to support if you cannot afford it and prioritize yourself first. I hugely appreciate any help and assure you that I will continue to pay it forward to the best of my capability in my work and with my own finances once things improve.

[tepkunset]

I feel like simply calling JK Rowling a transphobe isn't strong enough anymore. Like. This is not your grandpa calling you by your deadname at a restaurant kind of transphobic. This is her wanting to eradicate all trans people (with an extra special hatred towards trans women specifically). This is her trying just that by personally funding transphobic hate groups with millions to push around laws in the UK. It is not hyperbolic to call her a dangerous, genocidal maniac.

It's not about cancelling a problematic writer. It's about literally trying to save lives by denying her as much money and power as possible.

[phinarei]

A lot of cis people are treating her like an actress who pushes diet culture or a singer who is too sex forward for their tastes. Like she's an inconvenience to their moral comfort instead of the existential threat she is.

She is not that.

She is Elon Musk. She is Trump. She is a powerful monster with the money to end lives.

Giving her money and creating a demand for her books by engaging in fandom should be seen the same way owning a cybertruck is seen. Harry Potter gear is in the same category as MAGA gear.

I need to see the same disgust and outright hatred of her that I see about all the evil men in her category. I don't know if people see her as less dangerous because she's a woman or if people are worried that hating on a woman will get their feminist card revoked, but she needs to be taken more seriously by a lot of people. She's a big name heavy hitter with more money than anyone should be allowed to have.

This isn't a scandal, it's a genocide.

[thesituation]

learning and studying the atlantic slave trade in depth should be a core part of american history education because the scale of it is mind blowing and the level of depravity and length of time it went on for are absolutely inexcusable. anyone who knows deeply how chattel slavery worked wouldn’t dare dismiss it as being “far in the past,” a horrific centuries-long practice like that needs to be remembered vividly and reminded to the ancestors of the perpetrators and beneficiaries OFTEN and EMPHATICALLY, anything less constitutes an erasure of history imo

uninstall adobe acrobat. it is malware. it has been malware. these aren't opinions: acrobat meets the definition of malware.

it installs a user-login-time "startup" executable that ignores any windows directives to disable it on startup. doing so only removes the even-more-malicious taskbar-icon-creating advertisement-notification-creating process. no matter what you do, the sleeper "updater" process starts when you log in, and runs perpetually

it sends & receives encrypted network traffic both periodically and non-periodically. both are bad, both are suspicious, and a program doing both is more suspicious than the sum of their parts. and to boot: acrobat will polymorphically edit its code after such network activity

this isn't new: it has always done this. now, it does not even do the thing it is meant to: provide a way to interact with documents, which is amongst the very first features computers were built to provide. you can merely open PDFs and read some of their content in the narrow space between the requests for adobe to give them your money, and interface for features you cannot use (because you don't) or do not, have not, and will not ever need

adobe and microsoft would very much like the user's cultural norms around computers to allow for advertisement built into the local software and even operating system itself. the web being 100% advertisements was not enough! sure enough, acrobat will hijack the windows notifications system thing to give you the 2026 equivalent of pop-ups

i don't really know enough about windows software equivalents, so i'll paypal $20 to the first person that reblogs this with a list of 3-5 PDF reader/editor/etc acrobat equivalents that meet the following criteria:

open source, locally-built executables must match checksum of prebuilt distributed executable

no paid features/premium version/subscription/whatever

not a toy hobby project thing, must be windows-users-proof

cheers

Firefox's built-in PDF.js viewer: does everything you could want from a basic viewer, fast enough search, and can now do annotations for filling in forms and such

KDE Okular: is a decent viewer and can also do basic annotations, and is so not-a-toy that you can even download it on the Windows app store.

LibreOffice Draw: I don't ever really like having to open this but if you have to edit a PDF in detail it does work, and doesn't just vomit up a bunch of polygons when you give it text to work with. Better as an authoring tool than an editor.

[ms-demeanor]

I've 100% replaced free acrobat with the firefox built-in and it works wonderfully for general office use and research/reading/viewing. It doesn't have robust redaction capabilities, but if you need to fill and sign and highlight a form it's actually much more intuitive than acrobat reader.

I never imagined that reaching the final part of our journey would feel this difficult.

Thanks to the kindness of so many people, we've reached £2,576. Every donation brought us one step closer to hope, and we will always be grateful for that. 🤍

Today, our new goal is £3,000. We still have £424 to go, but lately our campaign has become very quiet. Days pass without any support, and it's heartbreaking to watch our progress come to a standstill while our needs remain the same. 💔

Our lives don't pause when donations do. We are still trying to rebuild after losing so much. I'm still fighting to continue my education, and my family is still doing everything they can to get through each day with dignity and hope.

If you've been following our story, please don't let this be where our journey stops.

Even the smallest donation can bring us closer to our goal, and if you're unable to give, sharing our campaign could help us reach someone who can. 🙏

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for reminding us that we haven't been forgotten. Your kindness gives us the strength to keep believing that better days are still possible. 🤍

https://gofund.me/5cdd060e

We might share your campaign again in four days. We don't want to reblog one fundraiser more than once a week, so we won't spam one over others or our own posts.

We are happy you are getting the funds you need.

Also, you may want to edit the asks you send and your main pinned post, because you only have half of the gofundme link on your current profile.

Help Bilal Travel and Receive Treatment Abroad

Hello my friends, my name is Bilal Ahmed.

Hello my friends,My name is Bilal Ahmad.I am reaching out to you as a citizen of Gaza who is suffering from severe injuries and critical health conditions that threaten my life every day. I sustained a serious injury to my eye and urgently need another surgery to save me from the risk of permanent blindness.

In addition, I have a disability in my left hand. Most critically, I suffer from a severe abdominal injury that has greatly damaged my intestines, leaving them unable to function properly. My condition continues to worsen, and the danger to my life increases with each passing day.

Given the current situation in Gaza, it is no longer possible for me to receive the complex medical treatment I urgently need in a safe and complete manner. After God, my only hope is your support and kindness.

I humbly ask for your help. Please be the light of hope that allows me to reach Egypt and receive the medical treatment I desperately need in its hospitals so that I may recover and regain my health.

Please hear my voice and give me a chance to receive treatment and a humanitarian opportunity to pass through. Even a small donation can make a difference and help cover my medical care.

Thank you in advance for your generosity, compassion, and support. I am deeply grateful for any help you can provide.

Help My Children 😭💔(Yasmin)

I am raising funds for Yesmin, a 27 year old mother from Gaza and a victim of the ongoing genocide. Here are her own words:

Vetted by association I’m ayoosha-stuff friends

Hello friends, I am Yasmin from northern Gaza Strip. I am 27 years old, a mother of two children, Sila and Youssef, and I have been married for more than 7 years.

I was studying Journalism and Media at the University College, and I had both a home and a job. But because of the war, I lost my home, my work, and everything I owned.

My family’s house was also destroyed, and now we have nothing left except a worn-out tent whose torn walls cannot protect us from the heat of summer or the cold of winter.

My husband is injured. He was involved in a traffic accident while trying to get aid, and he is now disabled and unable to work.

My children have suffered from malnutrition due to the lack of food and proper nutrition.

That is why I am only asking for your help and support. I am here trying to save what is left of my children’s lives. They are between life and death.

Please, try to support us and donate whatever you can.

[lamagaza100]

My name is Adham, and before the war, I lived a simple but happy life. I worked as a driver with my own car, earning an honest living by taking people where they needed to go. It wasn't a luxurious life, but it was enough. I was proud that I could provide for myself and look toward the future with hope.

Shortly before the war began, I got married. My wife and I dreamed of building a peaceful life together, but those dreams were shattered almost overnight.

https://chuffed.org/project/190680-help-aham-jaafar

The war took everything from us. Our home was destroyed, and the car that was my only source of income was lost. In a matter of days, I went from being able to support my family to having nothing.

Today, my wife and I live in a tent. Even the small piece of land where our tent stands is not free, and the landowner asks us to pay rent every month. We struggle every day to find food, clean water, and the basic necessities of life.

Help Adham support his family and wife

My name is Adham, and before the war, I lived a simple but happy life. I worked as a driver with my own car, earning an honest living by tak

As if losing everything wasn't enough, I was seriously injured during the war. A bullet struck my chest, and it still remains inside my body. I need surgery to remove it, but the operation costs far more than I could ever afford. Every day I live with pain and uncertainty, knowing that I cannot pay for the treatment I need.

I also had a fundraising campaign in the past, but unfortunately, I never received the support that was collected for me because I was deceived by the person managing the campaign. After that painful experience, I am now searching for a trustworthy person who can help me create and manage a new fundraising campaign so I can finally receive the support my family urgently needs.

I am asking for your help with humility and hope. Whether you can help by creating a fundraiser, donating, or simply sharing my story, your support could truly change our lives. Your kindness will help us cover our basic living expenses, pay the rent for the land where our tent stands, buy food and other essentials, and, most importantly, give me a chance to receive the surgery I desperately need.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story and for standing with my family during the hardest time of our lives. Your kindness gives us hope that we are not alone.

No donation is too small. If you are unable to donate, sharing my story or helping me find someone who can safely organize a fundraising campaign would mean the world to us.

I write these words with a broken heart. To those who read this and choose to ignore it, you can simply scroll past, but I am living through the most difficult moments of my life. My husband is slowly dying before my eyes. Due to a severe head and jaw injury, he has been unable to eat or drink for over a week, his weight has dropped to just 39 kilograms, and he is suffering from severe, life-threatening malnutrition.

The doctors confirmed he needs urgent surgery, but we can't afford the operation and treatment. I feel helpless watching him weaken day by day, while time is running out.💔

"I'd like to start a small project raising awareness of sexual assault, coercion, harassment, and other similar behaviors toward trans men and others TME (transmisogyny exempt) by people TMA (transmisogyny affected)."

Yeah so this is lolcowing and fucked up and if you do this stay away from me like this is just weird and of course their taking sourceless ass ask about trans woman at their word and shaming people for kinks

Fuck this and fuck you for running this kinda blog, and anyone who follows me and also this blog can unfollow me because if I see SHIT from a blog with that bullshit as its pinned you WILL be blocked

[this-is-trans-joy]

“transmasc voices project” sounded like it could have been a great place for transmascs to just like. talk about their issues but THIS is what their purpose is?? Jesus, that fucking sucks. What possible intention could the original blog have except to demonise trans women.

They’re either a raging TERF or… actually, yeah that’s it. Even if they’re actually trans, that’s still 100% disgusting TERF behaviour.

[softerseasons]

She literally left up a bunch of comments from an actual TERF being blatantly and violently transmisogynistic towards a trans woman, while deleting/hiding comments on the same post from users criticizing him.

So yeah- literal TERF is just actually what she is.

[gettinontopic]

As I thought

Stay safe everyone ♡ Block and don't engage for you and the communities safety. Terfs have no place in the talk about trans rights

[h4nds4ndwich]

Who is this about?

[saros-system]

@/ transmascvoicesproject

She basically started a blog to gather reports allegedly from transmascs and trans men who had been hurt in a sexual way by transfems and trans women. In reality she's just a TERF gathering dirt on transfeminine folks and trans women while pretending she has the support of transmasculine and trans male survivors.

In reality she wants all trans people dead or worse.

[bebsi-cola]

abelds have this funky ability where they hear disabled people say they "can't" do something and instead of hearing "can't" as in, cannot, they hear "i can if i push myself and i just don't wanna". which is really interesting!

[saros-system]

They also frequently ignore the fact that "can't do it" often means "can't do it safely for myself and sometimes others".

They do want you to put yourself and others in danger for their comfort, and then complain when people get hurt. Despite the fact that you warned them multiple times you knew it would happen.

So yeah, able bodied people who see disability as lesser are not worth listening to. Especially not about what you can and can't do with your disabilities.

[saros-system]

It's also just way too narrow and gross to us as a survivor. Why not discuss sexual violence done by all types of people to all types of people? Why only target a group of abusers that's ridiculously small compared to the people doing majority of rapes? Especially with very specific victims?

There is no way this is genuine, as anyone who actually cares about sexual violence listens to all kinds of victims, and targets all kinds of perpetrators.

Her extremely binarist use of the terms TME and TMA is also at least concerning to us as an intersex person.

On top of that, the majority of sex crimes are committed by pericis people, usually either straight or living as such. And majority of victims knew their rapist already really well before they were raped. This "study" doesn't address this fact at all.

Plus we are worried about conversion therapy being seen as the only road to recovery for both victims and abusers here. Maybe even no longer being disabled and assimilating to mainstream whiteness would be required for the recovery to be considered valid as well. TERFs did shit like this before and they will do it again.

Also, this seems like a good place to bring up the fact that JK Rowling is encouraging gender criticals to sue Amnesty International for calling out her ideology as "anti human rights". (link) But of course she isn't going to sue herself, and we are almost certain her radfem legal fund will suddenly run dry or otherwise become unavailable for these lawsuits. She claims she will pay the legal fees (link), but we all know she won't.

Mrs. Galbraith also posted panty shots of a trans woman and called her a sexual predator. (link)

So the leader of the movement openly opposes a human rights organisation. So much for "protecting" anyone.

[werewolf-transgenderism]

my most lukewarm take is that I don't think there should be any exemptions for vaccines, etc., beyond documented legit adverse medical shit that makes it physically impossible. like they should be free and required and nobody should be allowed to just choose to leave their child and any immunocompromised person they interact with vulnerable to potentially deadly but entirely preventable diseases and other medical conditions.

[saros-system]

Yep! And testing for the conditions that make vaccination dangerous for some individuals should be affordable and accessible too! So people can get their vaccines on time without significant risk. And those who can't get vaccinated can know it fairly quickly and easily, preferably with all the needed documentation provided right away as well.

The healthcare system can be fixed, it can be improved. Even if it will take decades, even generations. Until "first: do no harm" becomes a core value and point of medicine rather than an empty and catchy slogan.
