Salvation Army busted discriminating against transgender people (again)

Why does the evangelical church keep claiming to be LGBT-friendly despite all the evidence that people are being discriminated against?

With the holiday season coming up, a reminder that the salvation army is STILL homophobic transphobic garbage. Rather than donate to them, make a note of how much you would have donated to them while you were walking by because they were there, then give that money to a different charity you believe in.

[copperbadge]

Your yearly reminder that as a religious organization the Salvation Army is not required to release its financials, and they have repeatedly refused to do so, which is within their legal right but means you have only their word for where your money is going. But clearly the Salvation Army should not be trusted to be decent human beings, so why trust them with your donations? 

Also your yearly reminder that your options are not “The Salvation Army” or nothing; there is a vast constellation of charities for you to choose from in your holiday giving, and you will get more value for your dollar elsewhere. If you’re not sure how to choose a charity, I have some beginning guidelines here and here.

Queerplatonic relationships are valid and precious. ♡

[nonbinarypastels]

concept: instead of telling queer people to censor their identity (or to stop using the word entirely), consider taking some responsibility for your own online experience by either a) installing one of the many blacklist options available and simply add the word queer to it so you never have to see it again or b) installing one of the many text-replacer extensions available and replacing queer with something that you find more ‘acceptable’.

oh wow five years ago today the stylish but illegal monkey was found roaming around ikea in toronto…. now this is truly an iconic date in meme history

[snorlaxatives]

never forget

[severalowls]

The Ikea Monkey is alive and well at a sanctuary in Ontario! He was only a baby when he was found clothes shopping in Ikea.

Name: Darwin, Japanese Macaque

Date of Birth: 2012

Arrival Date: December 10, 2012

Previous home details: Darwin was born in Canada as part of the exotic pet trade in 2012, and had lived in a family home in Toronto. He was found in an IKEA parking lot in December 2012 after escaping from his owner’s car and was seized by local authorities. A social media and worldwide news sensation, Darwin has resided at SBFPS ever since.

Condition upon arrival: Darwin had been imprinted by humans, which rarely bodes well for a monkey. He was very insecure upon arrival, and needed to be the centre of everyone’s attention. He was sheltered from the other monkeys until he got used to his surroundings.

Progress: Since his arrival Darwin has grown in strides - learning to be far more monkey than human. He is grooming Sweet Pea, and calls to Julien and Lexy - mimicking their vocalizations and learning how to speak macaque. He has grown in size and confidence as well, and was slowly transitioned towards having multiple caregivers who he can trust and love as his ‘troop’, as he had no real monkey mother to show him the ropes.

Personality Traits: Darwin is a cheeky little guy, that’s for sure! He loves to play all day, and is always bouncing off the walls with excitement, especially when his favourite people come to visit! He loves to play tricks on you when you’re not looking, like any adolescent!

Favourite Activity: Darwin loves Curious George! He has a Curious George doll whom he takes to his pool to give a bath, and grooms him and tries to get him to drink. He also loves swinging on his fire hose.

Favourite Food: Darwin loves grapes, dates and cherries - but cherries definitely top the list!

Wish list from staff: Darwin can always use new and exciting toys, and he loves his fire hose swings and swimming in kiddie pools!

This is the best update post I have ever fucking seen

[mad-dyspunktional]

If you guys wanted people to stop referring to the community as the queer community so bad maybe you shouldn’t have tried literally everything you could think of to make sure that MOGAI was met with ridicule and crushed, just a fucking thought.

[math-is-magic]

#But let’s face it #You just don’t want an inclusive term #Because that means you can’t just knock letters off the alphabet soup in order to exclude the people you don’t like

^^^^^this

[lesbianpeachs]

concept: throw together a random general concept of a new community (how about…MICO - marginalized individuals coalition) JUST to see how fast they start telling lies about it (it was made for pedophiles!!! the only people who use it are fake invader special snowflakes!!! its homophobic for existing!!! i accidentally thought I was a different gender because it exists!!!! someone who identifies with it killed my firstborn child!!!) and let them know like a week later it doesn’t actually exist

[goobra]

this was absolutely wild from start to finish

Parents: This can’t be true about you, you didn’t show any signs when you were younger!

Also parents: *would have destroyed your life if you’d shown any signs when you were younger*

[indigopebbles]

Also parents: *aggressively ignored all signs you’ve ever shown*

[lady-feral]

*ignores all signs until you remind them of the reparative therapy they sent you to, the panic attacks you had, the conversations they told you they had with your relatives, the fact that they routinely raided your personal effects, read your diary, and took away all forms of privacy to include window curtains and your bedroom door

*gets angry when you remind them

I never thought about bitcoins contributing to climate change. That’s actually really bad. How’d you fuck up your idea of cryptocurrency that badly

[cooler-mudkip-deactivated202111]

What

[oncelerfucker69-deactivated2019]

Bitcoin mining uses a ton of electricity

https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/ywbbpm/bitcoin-mining-electricity-consumption-ethereum-energy-climate-change

[apairofsweatpants-deactivated20]

currently, bitcoin mining around the world consumes as much electricity as the entire country of Ireland. and in less than a year that consumption will grow exponentially to equal that of the entire United States. and then soon after it will nearly double the entire planets consumption of electricity. cryptocurrency is like pouring gallons of gasoline onto a hellfire - the more crazed people get about obtaining it, the faster we utterly destroy the climate.

[bogleech]

Yeah and never mind the fact that it REPRESENTS NOTHING. It isn’t representative of any actual resource of any amount of productive, useful work, it’s just fucking made up like video game money.

Everything about it is asinine and terrible.

still not quite sure why ‘tall, dark, and handsome’ is used to describe white men

[rapline-ddaeng-deactivated20200]

@ white people: this post was literally a joke stop coming onto it and talking about dark hair and dark personalities i dont give one fuck about kyle ron or whomever

[acelations]

Casual reminder that com/cast/kills is a massive aphobic ableist shitbag exclusionist and I’m really tired of seeing them on my dash.

To y'all who constantly doubt yourself and go “but what if I’m faking” about your diagnosis and your mental illness - if you were faking, you’d be fully aware of it cause it’d be a conscious decision and something you’d have to put effort into keeping up.

You’re not faking unless you made a conscious decision to do so.

End of discussion.

[officialspec]

ive said it before and ill say it again

homestuck as a narrative was so successful + immortal bc it was character driven and characters can be placed into a potentially infinite amount of contexts before fancontent runs dry whereas plot driven stories have a much more finite amount of flexibility in fandoms and the reason the ending was so unsatisfying to many readers was because it resolved the plot arcs without resolving the character arcs which the audience was much more emotionally invested in
