if you want to donate, do this instead:

help buy e-sims for people in gaza (you can follow this tutorial. if the simly app is not accepting donations or “gifts” then you can check out holafly. those are the only two that are working well right now. if you would like to stay updated, please follow @/Mirna_elhelbawi on twitter)

PALESTINIAN LITERATURE READING LIST

[taliabhattwrites]

Tumblr users will say "queer history" and mean "midcentury archival records from a specific US-American city that I have extrapolated into a universal mythos" and not even blink

[taliabhattwrites]

"learn your queer history" I am from fucking INDIA

[taliabhattwrites]

Maybe your queer elders fictional or otherwise were also influenced by the biases and contradictions of their own circumstances, time and place, and I am no more beholden to their ideas and ways of doing things than I am to any other form of tradition trying to constrain me.

Perhaps history is a conversation and not an edict.

I fucking snortled

[clownlunch]

Just because I am unemployed and low on cash doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun with it!!!

Even if you would not like a drawing yourself, sharing is very appreciated :3

Thanks friends!!!

For the record, this is not just shitty for anyone who needs wheels to get around.

This would be HELL for my cane.

I don't use forearm crutches, but I suspect it would also be hell for that type of mobility device.

Same for walkers.

Same for anyone with limited vision.

Almost every single instance of hostile architecture meant to gentrify a place or keep out "undesirables" ends up hurting disabled folks too.

And that's intentional. Because disabled folks absolutely fall under the "needs extra time/care", unless the companies can get away with it

Wtf is the problem with skateboards to begin with

[lesbiansandgayssupporttheminers]

Skateboards let people have fun outside without spending money (except occasionally on upgrading the board). Oh, and some people just hate teens congregating for any reason.

[theconcealedweapon]

Adults complain that "kids never go outside nowadays", meanwhile the reason is because adults would harass them whenever they do.

[flagellant]

Hey so this post is actually extremely inaccurate.

Thanks to a follower of mine pointing it out it was discovered/shown that those latticeworks are actually for water retention placed in key parts of the park, Scissortail Park in Oklahoma City. They are not meant as walkways and as can be shown in the above picture there are clearly accessible pathways which are the actual paths.

While hostile architecture is always very much a thing to be on the lookout for, sadly sometimes we just gotta remember the ancient texts:

[mari-lwyd]

Reblogging because I'm fairly certain I blogged this previously and the new info ABSOLUTELY needs to be shared! We really need MORE architecture like this in concrete jungles to help allow water to return to the ground instead of into the sewer system.

hey does anyone have that poem. about the author seeing two boys cuddling on a hotel lobby couch, where he refers to it as something like an island of safe anonymity or smth. its been 5000 years my college boyfriend had it written out and pinned to his wall
