If y’all were curious, yes, white gays were harassing a black trans person over this & misgendering her with fingers in their ears
Edit: heads up that TERFs have found this and are clogging the replies with blatant transphobia + misgendering the person in the video. Free blocklist.

we’re collectively joking about a year of quarantine ruining our social skills and ability to function in the regular world -- but we just can’t understand how people come out of prison after 5 or 10 or 20 years maladapted / how incarceration only continues cycles of harm.

I appreciate Beyonce and Jay-Z trying to fix their relationship, but this idea that we have to fix toxic, harmful relationships needs to…end. There’s nothing wrong with leaving a relationship that’s emotionally scarred you, and if you don’t want to put in the work to fix something that’s taken so much out of you, that’s fine.
I don’t dislike Beyonce or what she’s choosing to do with Jay-Z, but i dislike how widespread this idea that we have to fix these shitty relationships are, i hate that some of our biggest stars are the ones spreading it around.
And I don’t even have to get into how harmful this idea is to the black community :/
[them. @them. tweets: My biggest worry was that Angel would get hurt during that scene or that things would get violent, and I’m so relieved she didn’t #PoseFX Janet Mock @janetmock responds: We wanted to show that trans women’s bodies are desirable and not *always* points of trauma/violence #posefx
Laverne Cox @LaverneCox tweets: #PoseFX is telling stories about dating while trans I have wanted to tell for years. Thank you to the entire cast and crew for telling our stories with such authenticity, nuance and truth. This show feels like a revolution.
Darryl Stephens @darrylstephens tweets: Listen, kids. #POSEFX is for us, by us, about us. Do not let this show fall through the cracks and get canceled because “you didn’t know.” Episode 1 is free on iTunes. Watch it, get your people to watch it. Support this show NOW because if you don’t, we may not get another one.
Jackee Harry @JackeeHarry tweets: One of the MANY reasons I decided to watch #PoseFX is how they handle Blanca’s HIV diagnosis. The 80’s were a wonderfully fabulous, outrageously fun & utterly terrifying time. It’s important that we reflect on what the era taught us & better ourselves from those lessons.]

Activists rally for Queens dad facing deportation to China after ICE arrested him during green card interview
Xiu Qing You, 39, of Flushing, has been jailed since he was arrested by ICE last month when he showed up for an interview to get the green card he is eligible for through his marriage to a citizen.
“Yesterday was Father’s Day. A lot of us [were] able to celebrate with fathers, with our husbands, with our sons. But Mr. You was somewhere in New Jersey where he could not be with his family. He was alone in a detention center,” said City Councilwoman Margaret Chin (D-Manhattan).
I always drink coffee at home, but this is the kind of thing that makes me want to only support black and brown owned businesses.
it’s literally considered inhumane to deny our worst criminals food and shelter but y’all wanna figure out if our homeless and impoverished population “deserves” it like
child molesters are gettin’ three hots and a cot on your tax dollars and that’s fine but the starving single mother and her children down the street should just work harder bc god forbid your taxes go to them?
fuck y’all seriously
Sex positivity is flat & overwrought. Casual sex can & will re-traumatize you; teaching young girls to have sex before they are ready will create the first red & heavy chasm of sexual trauma, which they will spend the rest of their lives carrying.
honestly. I wish I had listened to adults telling me I didn’t need to be having sex as a teenager. I hope I learn how to convey this to our younger sisters in a way that won’t sound like a puritanical old fogey so it isn’t as easy for them to ignore as it was for me
I was in very deep with libfem tumblr when hypersexuality reared its ugly head as a result of sexual trauma and I went out and got myself into increasingly dangerous, traumatising sexual interactions and situations. And everywhere I looked the only message I saw was: be a slut! It’s okay! Real feminists have casual sex! Fuck whoever you want whenever!
It honestly really damaged me.
I see the whole “suck as many dicks as you want” “go be a hoe girl” type mentality so much on here and girls believe that it’s empowering them and freeing them from some confines of society but it can be so damaging especially to youth who just don’t know any better. Especially to trauma survivors. Especially to young girls who have experienced sexual harrassement and trauma but aren’t aware of it. Sure sex can be great and no you aren’t wrong or a tainted person for having sex with multiple partners but at the same time the message sent to girls shouldn’t be “be a slut it’s cool!” It should be about recognizing sexual pressures, healthy sexual behaviours and desires, recognizing when you are ready, recognizing consequences, recognizing the effect sex can have on the body and the soul, recognizing the importance of consent, etc. Instead girls, many of whom have been through some sort of sexual trauma, are talking about being sluts and hoes and proud of it and it just isn’t right.
hey, so, i feel weird promoting this, but you know how the collective we of tumblr are always like, someone should write a cookbook that’s actually easy? i did the thing, just in time for gross summer heat/seasonal affective disorder, depending on the hemisphere, to kick in.
Cooking is terrible, and food is often a massive pain in the ass. Eating is sometimes ok, sometimes a giant drag, and somehow still a thing that you have to do multiple times a day, which seems enormously unfair. This book isn’t going to teach you how to cook, or turn you into the kind of person who hosts effortless dinner parties, or make you more attractive and popular and interesting. At best, it’s going to make it slightly more likely that you manage to eat something in the ten minutes between walking in the door and falling into the sweet embrace of the internet. I’m not joking—a lot of this can be done, start to finish, in ten to fifteen minutes. I resent thirty-minute meals because it feels like about twenty-eight minutes too long to spend on feeding myself. If you’re excited to get home from work and spend an hour cooking dinner, this isn’t the book for you. If you really value authenticity, this isn’t the book for you. If you literally only eat three foods and you’re happy like that, this isn’t the book for you. If you, like me, are tired and depressed and just need to get some food into your face once in a while, this is definitely the book for you. You should buy it. Maybe it’ll help.
anyhow, you can buy it for $5 on amazon (for kindle files) and gumroad (for a pdf and epub), and any money earned goes towards things like paying my rent and buying groceries.
i’m disabled and mentally ill and a single parent, and i’d love to be excited about food, but most of the time, it’s just an inconvenient thing i gotta do to stay alive. i wrote this for people who’re kinda like me. i hope that maybe it helps someone.
I’ve read this, and it’s super useful– a whole lot of lists and easy to make meals that are better than eating nothing, again, for the sixth time this week because everything is too many.
I suspect it’ll be super useful to a lot of y’all– brain weasels suck, and being out of ideas for food sucks, and being hungry because you open the fridge and then stare at everything and cry because it’s too many to work out what food is super sucks
Alright but there’s some CRAZY historical shit happening in brazil right now
our ex-president (and the most popular politician alive here by far) was convicted of a crime and police issued an arrest warrant for him yesterday
so he basically said “fine, come and get me, i’ll be at the labor union speaking to the people who support me meanwhile” (cause he was running for president again this year and was VERY likely to win)
and so many fucking people showed up and basically barricaded blocks and blocks around the building that police can’t get near him
and police knows exactly where he is so they can’t consider him a fugitive and apply penalties cause he’s technically not breaking the law
and today after negotiating his surrender carefully he tried to get out and people literally won’t get off the gate???
people are literally human-barricading this dude from being arrested this is WILD
Important to note that this is all part of a coup by the bourgeoise right wing in brazil to oust the workers party that started in 2016 when they got workers party ex president dilma roussef illegally impeached
right wing judge sergio moro accused lula of receiving a bribe in form of a luxury apartment in guarujá
they took it to court and lula was sentenced to 12 years jail time despite no real evidence being presented
lulas lawyers are currently presenting the case to the UN as a case of a human rights violation by the brazilian judicial system
this is likely to be a turning point for brazil’s left bc
a.) they’re now unified (protesters from all different leftist parties came together to support lula) and
b.) it undeniably proves that electoral politics are no longer a feasible solution for the left
the main form of resistance against the coup thus far has been voting for alternative parties (like lula’s) and protesting, but moro and the rest of the car wash leaders are brazen enough to arrest lula, despite it being clearly illegal and w/ international eyes on them /and/ the case being brought to the UN, which has already been intervening in a similar case in catalonia. so they’re not even pretending to abide by their own laws anymore, or care about the will of the brazilian people.
The last survivors of the Mexican revolution, who fought alongside Emiliano Zapata. Some of them are convinced that their hero, who disappeared in 1919, is still alive. Although they’re old and feeble, several of these ‘Zapatistas’ never go out without a gun.

I think this should have a hell of a lot more notes on it than it does. This is what good news looks like folk, and the continent of Africa surely deserves a shed load of it.
Today (April 7th) is Remembrance Day for the Rwandan genocide. While Rwanda still faces challenges, their recovery has been incredible. They now have the highest percentage of women in parliament around the world (one of only two countries to have over 50% women), their gross national income has risen each year, and life expectancy has risen from 48 in 1990 to 65 in 2013.
