Visualization of internet communities by Randall Munroe in 2007

Long ago, the kingdoms of the Internet went through a golden age. Although flame wars happened frequently, it was a time of creativity, knowledge, and freedom. But it all changed when the dark times occurred…

It started when the Capitalist Empire invaded, turning powerful nations into puppet states. The era also gave rise to marauding clans of gamers, who were manipulated by the Alt-Right shamans. And the common people became notorious for their angry mob mentality.

But the worst came to be when Imperial miners discovered a dark element known as Crypto. Their interference with the element unleashed a terrible dark magic that turned them into ghoulish shadow prophets, who would then form cults known as CryptoBros. Once they gained enough followers, the Blight began.

The Blight turned the cultists into ape-like creatures, with some even bearing horribly deformed appearances. They would then scourge the lands, transforming the beautiful countryside into a blackened wasteland. Many people were tainted, which increased the number of the merciless horde. And those who resisted the taint had their souls forcefully taken from them.

Despite the terrible state of the world, there is a small glimmer of hope. A growing number of likeminded individuals, some of which are beloved heroes of old, are forming an army to fight off the Blight. Their bravery against this threat is noble and admirable, but time will tell if they would truly succeed.

The War for Sanity has begun…

hey everyone! this is just your gentle reminder that TST (the satanic temple) is notoriously bad at winning it’s court cases. please do not rely on them to fight for your legal right to abortion. please do not donate to their abortion fund when it’s been a proven grift from the start. there are plenty of reliable, productive grassroots orgs. that you could donate to instead.

to help combat all the misinformation that’s been passed around, i’d like to link a couple of trustable abortion/birth control resources below! i’ll also be adding dependable orgs. that you could donate to! reblog this for your mutuals who live in states where their reproductive rights could be threatened.

abortion/birth control resources:

Planned Parenthood: one of the most reliable sources for birth control available. by downloading the app, you can get a prescription for daily birth control sent to your pharmacy or directly to your mailing address. they also offer other methods of birth control, such as IUDs and rings.

Plan C Pills: a super helpful website that directs you to multiple sources for abortion pills from third-party providers. It has a price-check option, so you can find a price that works for you. they also offer abortion support and counseling if you feel you need it.

Aid Access: probably one of the best choices for abortion pills if you are less than 10 weeks pregnant. they source their medication from trustable pharmacies. based in india, they will provide you with abortion pills via mail. they also have financial support for those who cannot afford the cost of these medications. they have doctors you can contact, and instructions for every step of the process.

Women on Web: they offer abortion pills via mail as well as consultations. they also have an accurate pregnancy calculator that can help you figure out how far along you are. it’s super important that you check out the page where they’ve debunked several at-home abortion methods.

groups to donate to:

Planned Parenthood: they’re actively working to fight against the implication of unconstitutional laws such as the texas abortion ban.

American Civil Liberties Union: although their focus is not exclusively on abortion, they have a long history of successfully defending individual rights in court. they plan to do the same with recent anti-abortion legislation.

Avow: a C4 non-profit dedicated to fighting the recent abortion laws in texas.

[Image ID/ Series of tweets from Big Boinkus (@/ SneegSnag) reading: My favorite thing lately is watching a bunch of cop sympathizers cry in my comments section on YouTube as if that’s going to stop me from speaking on my platform about injustices related to the system I studied

There are zero good cops remaining all the ones who try are do the correct thing get fired or moved into positions they are unable to do something about in. Police reform is needed they have been encouraged to abuse their status time and time again and won’t stop

Do not speak to the police they will use everything you give them against you if it comes down to it they are never on your side even if you think you’re helping /End ID]

Very funny that the govt is only giving tests to HOUSEHOLDS and not individuals therein

baedlyweathered

Correction:

to ADDRESSES

alienpapacy

Hahahahhahahahaahaha

shrimplepleasures

If you’re unable to order tests bc of this and live in a multi-unit building like an apartment, try including the apartment number in the same line as the street address, NOT the optional second line for unit #:

A Lot of address forms don’t process “address like 2” spaces properly in forms like this, and will just not include the apartment number. This may not work as easily if you have like, one apartment with multiple roommates, but this worked ordering for my apartment in a large building

cannabisbutch

If this fix does not work, try calling USPS- fyi stole this info from twitter

"For US folks in multi-unit buildings who are running into COVID test ordering issues, it apparently is because of backend issues with the USPS database, and you can get them to correctly categorize your home as multi-unit by calling 1-800-ASK-USPS."

More tips on hearing aids and writing them!

accessibleaesthetics

[Video Description: TikTok user @bow_asintakea_rawn talking to the camera and speaking in different backgrounds. The words they say are above them in writing, along with the occasional emoji.

“Tips for when you get hearing aids! Also Hearing writers, this is so you don’t embarrass yourselves. You are now the Wicked Witch of the West. Rain is now your enemy. Good luck. Hearing aids go in boxes.”

They open a small black box that fits in their hand.

“Not pockets. Don’t put them in there. You know how you hate hearing your voice in recordings? You’re gonna have a new one. Can you wear glasses and hearing aids?“

They put on a pair of sunglasses. These remain on in every outdoor setting throughout the rest of the video.

“Yes. Next question. Probably a good time to note: you will get slightly scared of bees. Films are so much better if you can hear the music in them. Prepare for a period of physical adjust-oof-ment.”

They stumble a little.

“You will become incredibly clumsy. Dunno if you know this, but hearing aids”

They hold one up.

“- or at least mine - are color-coded. Red goes in your right and blue goes in your left.”

They hold up an alcohol wipe packet.

“Nothing alcohol-based. They will destroy the protective lining.”

The words “(of most molds)” are added at the end of the second sentence in the words on screen.

“No one touches the hearing aids. If you have to handle my hearing aids you will handle them like they’re forensic evidence. No touchie! I can’t believe I have to say this - but I can’t wear them in the shower.”

They turn on the shower a moment before switching to the next scene.

“And most importantly, hearing aids don’t work for everybody. They just happen to work for me so do whatever makes you happy and what makes you comfortable. Peach out.

The make a peace sign with their hands.

End Video Description.]

Watching the new drew gooden video with the "$5 a month" earbuds that you can't own no matter how much you pay and they'll remotely deactivate the earbuds if you stop paying for the subscription and I think we literally need to kill companies before they start having subscription models for physical items they can deactivate

Using taxpayer money to house the homeless is considered tyranny.

Using taxpayer money to terrorize the homeless is considered freedom.

It clearly has nothing to do with taxpayer money or freedom.

“Faith, what was the hardest part of your journey to getting housed?”

From this excellent webinar I attended a few months back on the challenges unhoused people face in their struggles to become permanently housed.

Sorry, and the reason I thought of this webinar was because of Frank here:

I have one very simple political belief and that is 'if there is a thing that a person will suffer or die without, then they should have it, and they shouldn't have to earn or deserve it'

[images: screenshots of an Instagram post screenshotting a series of tweets by StynaLane, transcribed below, with the addition of several tweets the Instagrammer chose not to screenshot (bold emphasis by transcriber):]

It’s disability pride month, and did you know disabled people in the US with Medicaid are not allowed to have more than $2,000 in money and assets combined, or else we’ll lose our often life-saving health insurance? 🙃

Don’t fucking tell me forced poverty isn’t A Thing™

Did you know disabled people in many countries (including the US and UK) can’t get married or often even LIVE with their partner because it causes a massive decrease (or removal entirely) of their disability benefits? Which should only make sense to you if you’re a eugenicist 🙂

Did you know it’s still 100% legal to pay workers with disabilities less than minimum wage? 🙂

Did you know that disabled people fought for ages to get accessible accommodations for work, school, medical care? Did you know we were told it was IMPOSSIBLE to work from home, IMPOSSIBLE to attend school from home, IMPOSSIBLE to have telecom doctor appointments? ...

...Did you know these were all sorted and made available within a month of abled people needing them after the onset the pandemic? Did you know now that states are opening back up, these accessibility accommodations are being revoked for many? 🙂

Did you know the ADA was established in 1990, and most people don’t know what it says? Did you know building accessibility is key, and new public buildings are STILL being built inaccessible? Did you know it can take years to get an ADA hearing, and they’re often dismissed? 🙂

Did you know police officers receive minimal (if any) training on recognizing and interacting with disabled people? Did you know it’s been reported that almost HALF of the people who die at the hands of police have a disability? 🙂

Did you know disabled people with COVID are dying because they’re being denied care to save resources? A disabled man in Texas was denied care (and FOOD) in hospital for SIX. DAYS. Doc told his wife that, since he was disabled, he didn’t have a quality of life WORTH saving...

Happy Disability Pride Month.

This is kinda popping off, so here’s your AGGRESSIVE reminder that disabled activism NEEDS to be INTERSECTIONAL!

Racism, sexism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia are RAMPANT in healthcare, and we need to be aware of the LAYERS of oppression individual disabled people face!

Seeking medical care is already difficult and exhausting.

Nobody should have to worry that just EXISTING HOW THEY ARE AS A HUMAN BEING is going to affect their access to or quality of care!!

I don't have a soundcloud or a venmo, but if you have the time (and the energy), please consider endorsing my nomination as a community advocate for the @wegohealth Awards? (it's free)

[transcriber's note, 2020 September 27: these tweets are all from 2020 July 3; it looks like the awards thing is over for the year. here's the link anyway.]

I also wrote this in reference to my experience (so far) with chronic illness, if you happen to have a spare $4 AND enjoy reading (both criteria are necessary. Please do not buy it if you don't like reading, or if you're tight on cash 💜)

[preview image for Amazon link: the cover of Well Wishes from a Sick Girl by Styna Lane. a tall floor lamp stands on bare white floor, illuminating the book title painted onto the bare, dingy white-painted brick wall.]

I have one final thing to add to this thread:

It shouldn’t make you sad.

It shouldn’t make you PITY disabled people.

IT SHOULD MAKE YOU ANGRY AS FUCK.

What is transandophobia actually?

Because with all this recent discourse, I'm not sure a lot of y'all actually understand what we're talking about.

Invisibility. The complete lack of representation (much less GOOD representation) in media. The way cis people think trans = white feminine binary trans woman and nothing else. The way even queer spaces use language that excludes us, language that implicitly misgenders us.

Exclusion. The idea within queer spaces that masculinity and manhood is evil or bad or predatory (note: this idea also contributes to transmisogyny in some cases).

Infantilisation. This is the main way transandrophobia manifests among conservatives. They see all transmascs as teenage girls, easily influenced and unable to make their own decisions.

Medical Gatekeeping. There are a heartbreaking number of transmasculine people who have suffered or died because doctors have refused to treat their reproductive health issues. There's also the fear you experience going to the gynecologist's office if you appear 'too masculine', even if you know you need that care.

Misogyny. Transmascs are constantly told that they're only transitioning to escape misogyny by TERFS and their ilk. On the other side of it, some well-meaning 'allies' like to tell transmascs that they're "misgendering themselves" if they want to talk about their experiences with misogyny.

Additionally:

Physical Violence. Trans mascs are subjected to violent transphobia often by their families or coworkers or peers. Everything from being beaten to being murdered, however due to invisibility and our transphobic society we never hear about these cases or they are lumped in with 'mistaken identity' cases. Trans mascs who are stealth and pass as cis men easily are more likely to be physically assaulted if they are ever clocked, and trans mascs who occupy the same spaces as cis gay men are often subjected to the same physical violence.

Sexual Violence. Trans mascs are uniquely at risk to be forcibly impregnated as a means of forcibly de-transitioning them, as often one cannot receive care for pregnancy or even the end of one without a Female sex marker on your medical file. They are also at high risk of being forcibly married into an abusive relationship, or especially one that will have the means to forcibly de-transition them. Being clocked in public but especially in private spaces like bathrooms and bedrooms also carries a high risk of sexual assault and rape, to the point where packer companies still to this day utilize both the glance test and the squeeze test to tell you if it is safe to use in a public restroom. A transgender boy was forced to show his principal his genitals when cornered by the adult in his middle school boys' bathroom. I have had my own genitals forcibly revealed on school grounds in elementary school by fellow students to 'prove' my gender.

Medical Gatekeeping Part Two. T perscriptions are notoriously difficult to obtain and carry a lot of stigma due to being classed as a controlled substance. Medically transitioning is often stopped by both misogyny ("don't ruin your beautiful uterus") and transphobia ("self-mutilation"), as well as high criterias to meet before being able to proceed (BMI standards, You Must Be This Masculine To Ride The Transition Train, non-binary more like non-surgery, and more!) Insurance, also, will often deny hormones and surgeries despite having it accepted in their policies.

Forced Feminizing. Many trans mascs are forcibly feminized as a means to forcibly de-transition them even before they begin. From parents forcing their trans masc children to take estrogen to 'cure' them, to their social group forcing them into feminine roles, to close personal relationships telling them they will be abandoned if they stray off the beaten path, this is sadly a reality for many non-transitioning trans mascs who often begin to contemplate suicide from being trapped in this cycle. Suicide is the highest cause of death for trans mascs and rape is the number one crime against trans mascs and this exact problem tells you why.

Isolation. This is a two-fold problem- due to invisibility, prior to the internet it was difficult to find *any* trans masculine people to share experiences with. This lack of representation leads to children in unsupportive homes left to feel broken and ashamed and directly contributes to the suicide problem. Those who survive this but are never given a word for it often go into survival mode and never speak about it with anyone, which cuts the new generation off from the old. We see this in every single person who is 50+ saying 'there's a word for that??? I thought I was just broken' and 'I made my piece with being a broken woman/failure at womanhood/not like other women (girls)'. BUT due to our proximity to men and manhood, we also are exposed to the isolation experienced by men on a regular basis. Cis men often do not have the support systems, close personal relationships, physical touch and emotional outlets, etc that cis women do. Many cis spaces are hostile to trans people, and trans mascs often find themselves either treated as man/woman-lite or outright denied access from these same support systems as a result. Trans mascs are often left to experience the trauma and isolation that makes cis men's suicide rates skyrocket, and many must experience these things completely alone.

Intersection. Black trans mascs and the way that the world goes from treating them like black women to black men often discuss how the grass is hardly greener on the other side. Disabled trans mascs often must choose between treatment for their disabilities and medical transition. Gay trans mascs are often considered predatory and accused of being rapists. Straight trans mascs are often considered predatory and traitors to lesbians. Trans mascs who call themselves lesbians are denied access to a part of themselves they have often had for longer than their transitions. Trans mascs who exclusively date men are de/misgendered and- if physically in a cis gay male space- sometimes subjected to physical violence if clocked. T4T trans mascs are considered mentally ill and de/misgendered and have their sexualities invalidated. Immigration is not an easy task when transgender nor is incarceration. Trans mascs are often forced to play on women's/girl's teams and then heavily punished for their testosterone levels or forced to choose between playing and de-transitioning if they have an advantage.

That, too, is what trans mascs run the risk of in this country. I cannot speak for those outside of the US.
