DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE NEANDERTHAL CHILD WITH DOWN'S SYNDROME? Because they're all I've been thinking about when I'm sad for the past few days. Their existence makes me less sad.
Did you know that this is not a rarity? We have found remains showing catastrophic injuries - permanently disabling ones. With fully remodeled, healed bones.
It is NOT the default, it is NOT human nature to exclude disabled people from society. By nature we look after each other, by nature disability is just a natural part of the human variety that's made us so successful as a species.
By nature, people love.
Love Palestine more than you hate Israel. Love trans people more than you hate transphobia. Love the poor more than you hate the rich.
Always love who you fight for more than you hate those who you fight against. Otherwise when the Uniting Enemy is gone, you might start to hate as well.
Anger is part of revolution, but love is too.
serious post but: seeing how quick white queers are willing to throw people of color who are queer (mainly black and brown folks) under the bus while spouting bigoted rhetoric is not only scary but solidarity only exists when it benefits them or makes them look good. tired of seeing trans folks of color be absolutely terrified and scared they'll be exiled from community for even daring to speak their mind or because they sucked as a person in the past. people gotta realize the world wants to kill marginalized folks, especially if they're poc. you either are with us or not.
I think people forget the LGBTQ+ community was literally built from trans women of color and queer folks of color. they helped kickstart everything only to get treated like dirt beneath the pavement(god forbid if you are a trans woman of color too) this has happened to me and my siblings and we are so tired. if you care about us please raise our voices instead of invalidating our experiences while simultaneously using us as a prop for talking points.
I will never forget the despicable pinkwashing, racism & islamphobia that have been used to justify Palestinian genocide & white supremacy. They'll throw you off the skyscraper in Gaza they said, you wouldn't have rights as a queer person in Palestine they said. As if Palestinians are a monolith, as if they're just incapable of being hospitable and kind- as if they cant be queer, as if they aren't humans with names, lives, dreams, hopes-
Am not Palestinian, I am Jordanian Syrian. Born, raised, lived, in SWANA, its not perfect, but it is home. MY home. My traditional food my language my family my community. The land that shaped me and many others like me that we swore to fight for. Palestinians aren't any different, they will never stop fighting for their home.
No queer liberation without Palestinian liberation. We aren't free until ALL of us are free.
I hope they get to watch the beautiful sunset above the sea. I hope he gets to kiss Younus, after he lives a long, long life.
edit: I wasn't expecting it but im so glad this post is receiving attention. I apologize if my words are all over the place, I wrote this late at night and I was overrun by emotions. Please keep fighting for queer Palestinians, for all Palestinians, to be free of this apartheid.
Tips on writing sign language
Disclaimers: while I have been learning ASL (American Sign Language, I am not yet fluent. Also, I am not deaf. Both of these things being said, I have been learning ASL for nearly a year and I’ve been doing independant research about the language itself and the Deaf community. What I’ve listed below are things that I have learned from my own personal experience signing, what I’ve learned in my ASL class, and what I’ve learned from my independant research.
1) When you write signed dialogue, use quotation marks and everything else you would use for any other type of dialogue. Yes, I know they didn’t do that in the Magnus Chase series, but many Deaf readers were made uncomfortable at the choice to depict sign language as not speech. Establish early on that the character signs and then use tags such as “xe signed,” or “hir motions were snappy with irritation.”
2) Without facial expressions, someone’s signs are going to be almost meaningless. All of the grammar is in the face, as are some descriptors. For example, if you can’t see a character’s face, and you’re only looking at their hands, the signs would be the same for the statement “Xe doesn’t have dogs.” and the question “Does xe have dogs?”
3) There is no such thing as fluent lipreading. The best lipreaders in the world can only understand about 70% of what’s being said, and factors such as darkness, the presence of mustaches, lack of context, and a bunch of other common things can easily lower that ability. If someone’s lipreading, they’re taking little pieces of what they can lipread, and stitching together context and other details to get a general picture of what’s going on, but there’s still always going to be holes.
4) If you’re writing a character who can’t hear, know the difference between deaf (lowercase d) and Deaf (uppercase D). The medical term for not being able to hear anything is deaf. People who use their deafness as part of their identity are referred to, and refer to themselves as Deaf. They are part of the Deaf community.

My comic for SENSORY: Life on the Spectrum! Organised by Schnumn.
On harm reduction and understanding NSSI! Many autistic folk have normalised harmful behaviours as coping mechanisms in our daily lives and this comic is meant to help people recognise their self injuring behaviours and (hopefully) begin to see pathways to reducing their frequency.
THERES A FUCKIN NAME FOR IT!???
more broadly skin-picking is termed ‘dermatillomania’ and hair plucking ‘trichotillomania’

THIS is a mega folder containing literally everything rwby-related that is available right now on roosterteeth (+v9). rwby, fairytales, world of remnant, the grimm campaign, ice queendom (sub and dub), vtubing, all the behind-the-scenes stuff. everything.
plus soundtracks for every volume + IQ, and drm-free epubs.
i will add any additional rwby content released during the wind down period as it becomes available. V1-8 have an english subtitle track embedded in the files, V9 does not because it came from CR. IQ dub has english subtitles. and for the sake of completeness i pulled all the non-english subs available on CR for V1-9 as well, those are in there as loose .ass files for the time being.
whenever possible, buy physical media. learn how to strip drm out of digital content that you own and make it a habit to do so.
archive responsibly 👍
rb to make a trans person feel loved 💕
oh, the game that changed my life is TWO DOLLARS on Steam right now
It wasn't the first time I played Celeste, but later, when I was ready to hear it, that it taught me that the parts of you you're afraid of, that you wish would vanish so they'd stop holding you back, they're part of you. Trying to shut them out only hurts you, keeps you hating yourself. If you can face them with love and patience and truly try to understand and forgive them, then you can love yourself
I've lost my way and forgotten this so many times over the years, but Celeste has always been there to remind me, and every time, loving myself becomes a little more natural
💖🪞💖
(and even just for the gameplay alone it's my favorite platformer ever. for real!! two dollars!!!!)
Help Madeline survive her inner demons on her journey to the top of Celeste Mountain, in this super-tight platformer from the creators of To
If you're transfem then this is an especially heavy recommendation, and not just because the game can be read as a metaphor for cracking your egg, or because Madeline is canonically trans, or because Maddy Thorson's own egg was starting to crack as she wrote it
We live in a world that doesn't want us to exist. To survive in public we have to shrink ourselves into a tiny box, become as palatable and inoffensive as possible. Anything we desire or feel is twisted into some kind of perversion. To want for anything is to take up too much space
To not carry deeply-rooted shame complexes as a transfem in this world is a constant climb. It's crucial that we love, understand, and forgive ourselves and each other, because few else will

happy PRIDE i’m here i’m queer and i believe the land should be given back to the proper indigenous stewards.
Non-Natives reblogging this are great and wonderful
Please remember that "land back" does not mean "indigenous people are mystical elves with innate epigenetic wisdom of land stewardship and they don't belong in big cities," nor does it mean "non-indigenous people can't be farmers." What it DOES mean is that "non-indigenous farmers should be paying the equivalent of property taxes to the native governments their land was stolen from." It means, "there's a great deal of indigenous scholarship on sustainable agricultural practices that farmers should be taking into account, because indigenous agriculture was more advanced than European agriculture at the time Europe invaded the Americas and western agriculture *still* hasn't caught up in terms of figuring out how to produce equivalently high crop yields without compromising the ecosystem." It means, "non-indigenous farmers should be in an intellectual discourse with indigenous agricultural scientists and indigenous peoples that still do traditional farming, figuring how to repair the damage western farming practices have done to the ecosystem."
It also means that indigenous peoples should regain the right to sustain themselves on the land according to the practices they want, and they should have free reign to perform their cultural practices and protect their holy sites, as opposed to the current model where if they try to honor their dead on public lands they get violently removed.
People also get angry at this concept thinking it'd mean non-native people getting mass evicted from their homes but 1) your home is already owned by a bank or big business or government, the difference would mainly be who you're now paying rent to and 2) most of the land in America isn't residential anyway.
This topic isn't about your house that you're already struggling to pay for, it's about thousands of miles of the planet rotting away under the monopoly of big agriculture and oil, but hypothetically speaking I think a local tribe would treat you a shitload better than whatever inhuman real estate brand you're already at the mercy of.
the way sesame street, a pbs puppet show for literal babies, is pressing on with pride content despite vitriolic monsters descending on every post to insinuate they're pedophiles or demons while some of the biggest companies on the planet who could swim in olympic swimming pools of money like scrooge mcduck on steroids buckle and cave just emphasizes how completely and utterly pathetic these corporations are. they'd butcher a baby if it meant saving a penny.
where Starbucks and Target and Budweiser will be bullied into submission with the slightest push, puppets and people in your neighborhood stand tall
Sesame Workshop has been doing pride stuff since 2017. The Muppet Wiki has a nice list of stuff they've done:
LGBT culture describes the social paradigm by which lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) individuals sometimes identify. C
Jim Henson supported his openly queer colleagues in the 1970s! The Muppet performer Richard Hunt was majorly influential on Sesame Street, the Muppet Show, and Fraggle Rock.
They also dumped Chick-fil-A in 2012 when CFA made their stance on gay marriage known.
It would be a dishonor to their memories for the Jim Henson Company to kowtow to queerphobic demands when their namesake always stood for diversity and acceptance of everyone, and it makes me proud to be a Muppet fan to see that insisted upon 💖🌈
