REBLOG if you are old enough to remember what a VCR is.

Absolutely devastating news from Australia that at least 11 people were killed in an antisemitic attack on a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney. One of those who was murdered, Alex Kleytman z”l, was a Holocaust survivor. His wife, also a Holocaust survivor, saw as he was shot. I cannot imagine the grief and pain she and many others are feeling.

My heart is with all the victims and their loved ones, as well as the broader Jewish community in Australia. May the memories of the victims be a blessing.

We deserve to be able to congregate and observe Jewish holidays without fear of violence, in Australia and globally.

[estera-shirin]

I also want to commend the courage of Ahmed al Ahmed, a man who happened to be walking by when the shooting began and rushed to disarm one of the shooters, despite being unarmed himself. Ahmed is the owner of a fruit shop and a father of two. He was shot twice during his brave intervention and is now in the hospital. I am praying for his swift recovery and the recovery of all the others who were injured in this attack.

OP, you can let me know if you want me to delete this, but as of right now, around 1.5 million dollars have already been raised for Ahmed al Ahmed on GoFundMe.

You can also find campaigns for victims’ families here, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger’s family, including his wife and five children, one of whom is a newborn. So far, it’s only reached 9% of its goal.

My heart goes out to the victims of this hate crime and their families, and to the jewish community around the world.

Thank you for adding these links, and please don’t delete this!!

reblog if you would give cheeses to these meeces

[evilkaito]

i dont think whites understand how being white makes literally everything easier.

it effects everything.

being trans is easier when youre white.

being gay is easier when youre white.

being disabled is easier when youre white.

being a woman is easier when youre white.

being autistic is easier when youre white.

oppression is eased when you are white, as you get extra privileges, and your whiteness is seen as a positive characteristic that in some ways counter-balances your other forms of being a minority. whiteness controls everything.

you are automatically way more innocent in your own oppression as a gay, trans, disabled person because of your whiteness.

never forget this.

[raccoon-piss]

three things:

1. it’s true

2. white people get pissed when i bring this up/wear this shirt

3. the comments to this thread melted my fucking eyeballs seriously why the fuck are y’all like this

[lady-hibiscus]

OBVIOUSLY reblog this because I appeal to werewolves and this needs to break containment so it gets a fair shot but i also want more people to see this in general

[transhuman-priestess]

You guys do know you're supposed to reblog things, right

[transhuman-priestess]

"well i like this post but i'm worried my followers might not" fuck your followers. The entire point of tumblr is to cause irreparable psychic damage to your followers. We are locked in mortal combat on the astral plane. You must win. You Must Win. You Must Destroy Them.

[stuckinapril]

Has anyone figured out what’s so viscerally wrong with this woman yet

[stuckinapril]

She’s so one dimensionally evil you guys 😭😭 how is she real

[cassolotl]

Anyone who's been on the fence about whether giving JK Rowling's works attention does any harm to trans people should take note: this is the first article I've seen confirming that she is literally and directly using her billions to harm trans rights and trans people.

Giving her works any attention in any form ultimately gives her money. Writing fanfiction provides fans with content for her franchise. Pirating/torrenting Harry Potter stuff seems safe because she gets no money from it, but we know that Netflix and other streaming services choose what content gets bought/funded based partially on popularity on the Pirate Bay and similar.

The barest mention of her or any of her works gives her attention and promotes her and thereby earns her money, and she freely admits that she is using it to change UK law to harm trans people and exclude them from public life and remove their human rights and dignity. This harms all trans people in the UK directly in one fell swoop, for decades to come. It gives other powerful transphobes more ammunition to take this further and harm us more.

Do not talk about her, do not consume her creations in any form directly or indirectly (including pirating and fanfic), and if anyone mentions any of her stuff say it is bad and a complete waste of time. Quietly give it bad reviews on every platform when you're passing through. Use social media filters to block mention of her name and any of her franchises, so you can't rage-reblog-rant about it.

Make everything she touches become cursed. Make everything she creates flop such that it has to be quietly cancelled to avoid executive embarrassment.

And more importantly, if you're in the UK, write a physical paper letter to your MP to ask them what they're doing to support trans people. If they're not supporting trans people, reply to say you won't be voting for them again, and you're voting Green or LibDem instead.

people who want to live in lighthouse - i hear you, i understand you

but i raise you

living in water tower

[matka--boska]

[alchemist-jijo]

as an american i was very confused by this post until i got to the images because our water towers look like this, which, as you can imagine, is a completey unsexy place to live

[shinydoduo]

Yeah when I read 'living in a water tower' all I could think was

[rimonoroni2]

i think we should be talking about the semi-recent advancements in cystic fibrosis treatment like all the time every day. there hasn’t been a drug like this since AZT medications for HIV infection it is truly fucking miraculous and very important

[rimonoroni2]

basically: cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease which makes the mucous a person generates extra sticky. it used to kill people in infancy, then with advancements in medical tech it killed people in young childhood, and until very recently cystic fibrosis patients could expect to live until about thirty years old with consistent painful lung infections and complications.

in 2019 the FDA approved a drug called trikafta (which is really three drugs in one) for cystic fibrosis treatment. what it essentially does is patch up the malfunctioning proteins that cause the extra sticky mucus. trikafta is effective on about 90% of cystic fibrosis patients.

people who had spent their entire lives in and out of hospitals, on and off of ventilators, suffering from pneumonia and sometimes treated through painful procedures like intubation took this drug, got out of bed, coughed up an entire lifetimes worth of mucus out of their lungs over the course of a few hours, breathed clearly for perhaps the first time in their lives, and now go on to live well into their seventies.

like isn’t that insane. isn’t that amazing. doesn’t that give you hope for the future of medical advancements and treatment. fuck. i think about it all the time……

[kittydesade]

There’s a WHAT.

For WHAT.

[sweetdreamspootypie]

It's been amazing!

My ward is the respiratory ward - CF is one of the things we specialize in.

Since this med came out we haven't had a SINGLE CF admission to the ward

There used to always be a CF patient spending a couple of months with us at a time

There's a man who is 23 years old who I was sure would not survive his next admission (aim saturations 85% is end stage lung disease)

There's a set of the local frequent flyers that we all know so well

Except

No we don't

On the CF specialist ward (with reasonable staff turnover)

Half the staff have probably never even seen a CF patient

They are going to live

[anartificialsatellite]

For the people asking "well how do we know people are living that long if it's so new????" Here's a page from the CF foundation about life expectancy.

Additionally, it should be noted that metrics like life expectancy are in no way a guarantee of... Anything. There are significant outlier CF patients who are at an advanced age now despite the odds due to a variety of different factors, having lived the majority of their lives before the development of modulators.

But the fact remains that the odds are better now than they have ever ever been before, by leaps and bounds. It isn't cured, and many patients still need significant treatment in addition to Trikafta, but it is so much better than anyone could have dreamed of twenty years ago, and that is a triumph.

I know most people don't care about anything unless it has to do with the U.S. but can we please start talking about the Canadian election.

Please don't vote for Poilievre. He's basically the Canadian Trump and plans to put in place laws that harm trans youth, and lots of other shit.

Please vote istg this is the only way anything will get better. Poilievre has been kissing millionaires and billionaires asses. He'll make life even harder, and he loves Trump.

Reblogs are appreciated, especially if you aren't Canadian.

Hey. Spreading the word to tumblr, aka "I don't like this change so I WILL complain about it" personified.

Discord is bringing mobile ads in June 2025. They've officially announced this.

I’m pretty sure that Australians don’t have more then maybe 30-50k MAX people on tumblr. Like American had some 30 million users in 2020 (aka basically probably peak over the last 7 2018-2025) while Australia only has 26-28million people depending on who you ask (27 to be safe) so I’m just genuinely curious how many of us there must be on here.

If you Currently live in OR were born / raised in Australia and ID as (born/raised + ID, as I know a lot of born/raised here don’t ID as Aussie) you are Australian in this poll!

Are you Australian?

Yes, I am

No, I am not
