I’m SEVERELY disappointed this post didn’t include the eye witness statement of the mirror crash incident in question
Boris "professional idiot" Johnson wanted to build an island airport in the immediate area.
it's fucking visible

It is fun to learn.
Hey what the fuck
You weren't kidding they've been trying to get the masts off for 5 years and keep getting foiled because there's probably bombs leaking out of her
Fun fact: Doxing myself but I live in the blast zone if that thing ever goes up! It's even immortalised in a local artwork:

disabled people are often in permacrisis
there's never enough money each month. there's always an unexpected illness. new symptoms pop up or old symptoms flare up. meds have to be managed always and refilled constantly and any refill has the opportunity to go wrong. any regular care has the opportunity to go wrong. any mistake can send your health spiralling. it's always "i just need to get through this bad patch" but as soon as one ends another begins. another crisis begins in the middle of the last crisis. managing one thing leaves another thing to be neglected until that becomes a major issue and has to be managed asap and the cycle starts anew over and over and over

Last Thursday, there was heavy rain in Gaza. Israelis bombed a residential block very near to where Mahrah and her parents are sheltered. Panic gripped her family.
Her brother Mahmoud posted about this on tumblr from the account they share, and then staff immediately banned their blog as part of a broader racist campaign against Palestinians.
Mahrah and Mahmoud are now using the blog @palestinian95. Please donate if you can afford to do so, and share this post to help them to reconnect with their followers!
Mahrah family's sole source of income is their fundraiser vetted by 90-ghost and shared by fairuzfan. Unfortunately, they have not received as many donations lately. This makes affording food and healthcare difficult, because prices continue to increase.
Any money you can spare will be the entirety of their grocery budget for the week. Please send them enough to survive. I can personally promise anything you send will make it to them. My wife @cannilyuncanny hosts the campaign and transfers donations directly to Mahrah.
Ok so lemme get this straight the boys get advertised their body weight in protein powder and girls are told to get by on uncooked foliage and I’m supposed to believe that the observed differences in gender are strictly because of sex chromosomes with no cultural influence at all uh huh sure hey buddy what kind of idiot
i feel like i’m cursed forever but other than that i’m doing alright
Only good tiktoker is that cat w the big wide head that sits with its elbow up on the table with a stern grouchy expression and a drink
"listen to indigenous voices"
Here's one.
Aanin.
In Ojibwe my native language it's a greeting that usually is just meant to say hi or welcome. But it's older translation means something that's more like "I see your light" or "I see you."
It was a way of recognizing a person while also showing respect for their personhood.
I'm two spirit.
Do you see me? Do you see my light? If I said aanin to you, could you say it back?
Do you want to?

If studies on gender, work/job inequalities, sexuality, hate crimes, assault, population, education levels, or other demographic based statistics include you then you have the privilege of being seen within systemic oppression.
Perhaps you entirely lack systemic power, but at the very least you don't lack visibility. You have the ability to reference objective sources that you can use to prove that not only your oppression exists, but that you exist and deserve to be cared about.
I'm two spirit which makes me part of a demographic that not only is never included in studies or statistics, but that is also left out of even feminist analysis. The exception to that being when the person writing the analysis is intentionally making the point that white supremacy, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and/or racism are all tools of colonialism that must be deconstructed.
Anti-colonial understandings should be the standard of feminist and gender analysis, especially if feminism is to serve all women.
There are so, so many indigenous genders and expressions that are never ever talked about, known, or accepted outside of their own tribes or people.
This is a failing.
The vague expression that "queer ppl have always been here" is a popular slogan and so often indigenous people are used like tools to prove that point, but nobody can name what makes us queer or asks if we even want to be considered queer. Nobody seems to notice the way we are only ever acknowledged to prove the important of someone else.
To know nothing about us, our values, the ways we serve our communities, or our personhood while using us as tools in debates is just another racist way objectifying us without having to actually care about us.
So few people stop to think about the word queer itself, who it describes, or what queer people are being compared to, where those things come from, or perhaps most importantly: why. So few people stop to think about those of us who consider ourselves outside of all that. By that I mean queerness, being straight, the definitions of man and woman, being cis, etc. Those are all labels and ideas that stem from a colonial and oppressive framework of understanding gender, sexuality, societal expectations, and identity.
So it makes sense that this framework never ever includes people like me, someone from a people that colonialism actively targeted from the very beginning.
I say knowing exactly how indigenous kids were forced to conform to these standards in boarding & residential schools.
So it isn't a mistake nor is it a coincidence that people with indigenous genders, sexualities, or identities are never included.
They still don't want us to exist.
I know it seems like I'm asking for acceptance into that framework. So let me be clear that I am absolutely not. I don't want my indigeneity to be absorbed into the same exact framework that has always sought to oppress, suppress, subjugate, and erase my people.
I don't want my oppression to be inclusive of me. What I want is liberation and not just for me but for all indigenous peoples regardless of their gender, sexuality, or identity.
And to have that first we must be recognized, cared about, heard.
We need to be seen.
See us.
something ideologically fascinating / faintly nauseating for you. these are two examples of what seems to have been a fairly popular item—a sterling silver compact with an engraved map of India as it existed in the early 20th century. the idea is that tourists or colonists or etc. would add a ruby into the surface of the compact in places that corresponded on the map to places that they had visited. I think 10,000 words would not be enough to explore all of the implications of this.

Life outside seems easier than the 'prison life' we endure in Gaza. I try to imagine other places where life is difficult, but I realize that even the harshest environments are open; at least there is a way out. Gaza is a closed prison. A rocket could kill you at any moment, food and water are rationed, and the heaviest burden is being besieged by memories, destruction, and graves. It is a constant cycle of physical and psychological torment.
Prices in Gaza have started to rise unusually, and goods have almost disappeared from the markets. Types of vegetables are scarce and expensive, and meats have vanished from the markets too. I mean, what's happening is the beginning of a new famine; food is expensive and scarce in the markets!
