FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY
This cunt sent me 1€ worth of reparations for this post, this sucks
this remains one of the funniest things I’ve done
it fucking sucks being a disabled person who can't work and having to see these fuckass posts where someone's like "ahaha jobless people have no life and that's why everyone shitty online has No Job" and everyone and their mother reblogs it joyfully onto my dash for me to see. yes unemployed and unemployable people are truly without exception dogshit people with no hobbies and no redeeming qualities. you're so right. anyway if you'll excuse me i have to start my shift at the I'll Never Be Employed Because Of Permanent Disability And I Love Knowing How You Really See Me store
if ur able to work can u reblog this i am seriously SO sick of it.
btw this isn't solely a disability rights issue or an issue about people who are entirely unable to work. you should also be thinking about the people who are regarded as unhireable. transfems are hugely discriminated against in this way, people of color are passed over for less qualified white people, anyone who has any difficulty playing the interview game is less hireable... frankly anyone who made the mistake of pursuing the things they love and now has a degree for a niche field. if you still joke about Jobless People it's because you've fundamentally connected the worth of people to their labor, and specific labor, work that you see as valuable. and while i'm at it stop making fun of people who still live with their parents. asshole.
THIS is the comic that has been banned
It was flagged as "Eksplicit", shadowbanned, and every reblog turned invisible. The flagging is also unappealable (unless that is an error, thanks tumblr)
Happy Trans Day of Invisibility from your tumblr mods!
Only found out because I tried to reblog with an update from your local trans unicorn siblings!
I cannot even LINK to my old comic without every new post getting deleted.
And yet, we will CONTINUE to exist, and grow, and find each other. We will be visible up to and beyond our own deaths. Because we stand for love. We love ourselves and each other and that just makes us stronger.
makes me sad when people run their own fics (or anybody else’s fics) through an ai checker.
1. an ai checker itself is, I believe, ai.
2. ai checker is known to be unreliable. it’s known to have incorrectly flagged human-made works as ai, and ai-generated works as human-made.
3. ai itself is trained on real human’s works, in order to mimic real human’s works and how real humans write. and whether or not you like it, ai as a writing tool is getting better and more developed. because it has more and more works to train on. so by running a fic through its machine, you are giving it more work to train on.
running a fic through an ai checker will not actually prove anything. it will either make you question yourself as a writer, or it will open a door for other writers to get harassed and wrongly accused of using ai.
if you suspect somebody’s fic is ai and if that bothers you, click away from the fic. harassing the writer or making a call out post will only encourage witch hunt behavior, and witch hunt behavior means innocent writers can and will get wrongly accused too. again, you cannot know for sure if a fic is ai unless the author themself says so. but even then, the best thing to do if it bothers you is click away, block the writer, scroll past the work. harassment, accusations and call out posts do more harm than good to the writing community.
“but why shouldn’t we harass writers if they admit to using ai”
1. under no circumstances will I condone harassment. I believe there are better, more productive ways to solve a problem.
2. chances are that harassing writers who openly use ai won’t make them stop using ai. it will just make them hide the fact they use ai — therefore their works are no longer tagged as ai, therefore you can’t know for sure that it’s ai, therefore there’s a chance of you, or anybody who is otherwise against ai, reading and giving it kudos without knowing that it’s ai.
3. the most efficient way you can avoid ai-generated works is if “writers” tag these works as ai. they will almost certainly stop tagging their works as such if you harass them.

Every time I see this quote I realize how poor even very smart people are at looking at the long game and at assessing these things in context.
One of my favourite illustrations of this was in a First Aid class. The instructor was a working paramedic. He asked, “Who here knows the stats on CPR? What percentage of people are saved by CPR outside a hospital?”
I happen to know but I’m trying not to be a TOTAL know it all in this class so I wait. And people guess 50% and he says, “Lower,” and 20% and so forth and eventually I sort of half put up my hand and I guess I had The Face because he eventually looked at me and said, “You know, don’t you.”
“My mom’s a doc,” I said. He gave me a “so say it” gesture and I said, “Four to ten percent depending on your sources.”
Everyone else looked surprised and horrified.
And the paramedic said, “We’re gonna talk a bit about some details of those figures* but first I want to talk about just this: when do you do CPR?”
The class dutifully replies: when someone is unconscious, not breathing, and has no pulse.
“What do we call someone who is unconscious, not breathing, and has no pulse?”
The class tries to figure out what the trick question is so I jump over the long pause and say, “A corpse.”
“Right,” says the paramedic. “Someone who isn’t breathing and has no heartbeat is dead. So what I’m telling you is that with this technique you have a 4-10% chance of raising the dead.”
So no, artists did not stop the Vietnam War from happening with the sheer Power of Art. The forces driving that military intervention were huge, had generations of momentum and are actually pretty damn complicated.
But if you think the mass rejection of the war was as meaningless as a soufflé - well.
Try sitting here for ten seconds and imagining where we’d be if the entire intellectual and artistic drive of the culture had been FOR the war. If everyone thought it was a GREAT IDEA.
What the whole world would look like.
Four-to-ten percent means that ninety to ninety-six percent of the time - more than nine times out of ten - CPR will do nothing, but that one time you’ll be in the company of someone worshipped as an incarnate god.
If you think the artists and performers attacking and showing up people like Donald Trump is meaningless try imagining a version of the world wherein they weren’t there.
(*if you’re curious: those stats count EVERY reported case of CPR, while the effectiveness of it is extremely time-related. With those who have had continuous CPR from the SECOND they went down, the number is actually above 80%. It drops hugely every 30 seconds from then on. When you count ALL cases you count cases where the person has already been down several minutes but a bystander still starts CPR, which affects the stats)
That Vonnegut quote brings this particular moment to mind:
Yes, it’s just a pie. Yes, the pie itself doesn’t do much direct damage in the grand scheme of things. But the pie is resistance, and resistance inspires resistance. Resistance inspires survival. Throwing pies sometimes starts a movement. Throwing pies sometimes saves lives.
And of course, we haven’t spoken about the inherent morality of throwing pies at oppressors in a world where oppressors have outlawed pie throwing. At the very least, pie throwing is a reminder to the oppressors that no matter how much money they have, no matter how much power they have, there are still some people, some moments they can’t control.
I’d rather go out throwing pies than just rolling over and accepting that pie throwing isn’t going to solve anything. Yeah, the pie throwing doesn’t immediately solve the problem, but it doesn’t have to because it’s just a starting point. So throw the damn pie.
So throw the damn pie
Speaking of the effects of pie throwing and art in opposition of oppression, and “resistance inspires resistance”:
Imagine sitting in a packed auditorium and some asshole is up front is spouting bullshit about minorites. Like saying they’re filthy and deserve a violent death etc. And there are lots of people nodding along and even cheering and applauding
But no one is saying or doing anything to disagree, so you think that you’re the only one who opposes the speaker. And you don’t want to say anything because you don’t want their ire or violence to be aimed at you
So you go through the entire speech, and possibly your entire life, thinking you’re alone
BUT if just one person has the courage to speak up, to throw a pie, to project art on the screen behind the speaker, then that single act of resistance will inspire others to do the same. It could even inspire you to stand up. Or if you’re the first, then you can inspire others
Small acts can snowball into an avalanche
Reblogging this in 2025 because of all the “Yeah the No Kings protests were cool but they didn’t doooo anything” crap I’ve been seeing lately.
The No Kings protests absolutely did do something. Just tune into your local city council meeting the next week and see public forum. Chances are there’s a public official advocating resistance of all and any federal orders, or a local housing/immigration activist saying it helped them and then pointing that energy in the direction of more.
3.75% of the entire country was in the streets on Saturday. Might not sound like a lot, but those are the kind of numbers that signal a toppling government or a revolution.
If nothing else it proves to wannabe authoritarians that they can sure fucking try, but they can’t kill us all.
wait let me just add about Vietnam:
every single outspoken anti-war protestor did do something. Muhammad Ali famously refused to join the war, which in turn inspired people to draft dodge, or help others draft dodge. Every person dodging the draft is one less person shooting at someone during a war, and one less person likely to die.
also, that pie in Anita Bryant’s face? did literally destroy her career as a raving bigot, she lost so much face nobody really took her seriously after that - and she’s not the only one
this is why we still want to see an entire stadium of people show up for a trump rally and then just point at him and laugh derisively
Lebanon is currently being bombed with thousands displaced and hundreds martyred. The Israeli strikes are intensifying and nearly one million people are displaced as of 3/12/2026.
Below are a few sources accepting donations to provide food, aide, and more to those affected. If you have any means to donate please do so. The Lebanese Red Cross - provides life saving medical services across the country
Lebanese Food Bank - distributing food and essential supplies to those who are directly affected and displaced
Egna Legna Besidet - a women migrant domestic worker run humanitarian and advocacy organization providing humanitarian assistance and emergency aide for migrant domestic workers
If anyone has any other places to donate, please share.
no, the bombing and deaths of thousands of palestinians, lebanese, yemenis, iranians, iraqis and people in west asia and africa are not 'distractions' for the epstein files. we get it you see our lives as less but it's just not. we matter.
take me back
I've been seeing people talk about the setting the trans community back x years thing nonstop on twitter, what even was the original context here?
people say that being open about certain kinks or being cringe or even just demanding basic respect is "losing the support of allies" by "causing them to think twice about supporting us" or whatever.
its a lie about respectability politics, the belief that we need to change who we are to be more appealing and desirable to the oppressive class.
"setting the community back x years" is the common phrase they use, claiming that a few people online are singlehandedly undoing all the progress people have made to helping trans people be more accepted.
but that's untrue. ten years ago, trans people were MORE accepted than we are now. ten years ago was before trump, before the rise of massive sweeping transphobic legislation, before fear mongering and scapegoatting and cries about bathrooms and sports. it was just after gay marriage was legalized, most people didn't care, many were openly supportive. it was far from perfect, believe me. but i can tell you as someone who was openly queer back then, it was a lot easier when people didn't immediately think of the politicians calling for my death when they saw me.
and i cannot stress this enough, the shift towards a more hostile view on trans women is NOT the fault of any individual trans people. no, we didn't slide into fascism because someone on twitter was rude to jkr, or because a tumblr user has a mommy kink. the overwhelming hatred of trans women is due solely to the rise of fascism, and the inaction of the opposing party to do anything about it. every year, both usamerican parties shift closer and closer to the right, and the "trans debate" has been one of many hot topics where the middle ground compromise from ten years ago has become the new "radical left woke dei mind virus infecting your white kids and destroying america"
Hello, my name is Aren, and my partner and I need immediate help to escap… Aren J needs your support for Urgent help needed to escape abusiv
I didn't want to do this, but here I am. Please understand that I'm only doing this because we desperately need help.
Me and my life partner need financial assistance to help us and our pets escape an abusive, unhygenic living situation. For over a year and a half, we've been living with their mother, a woman with severe mental health issues (including a hoarding disorder) who is verbally abusive, reactive, and controlling. She will not care for herself or her health unless absolutely forced to do so, is resentful at attempts to help, and refuses to take steps to better herself. We have accommodated her needs for over a year now to the detriment of our health and well-being, and it has finally become clear that us leaving her on her own is, unfortunately, the catalyst needed for change.
We've found and secured a separate place to live, but our current lease unfortunately does not allow for termination, only replacement- which the opposing party absolutely refuses to allow. As such, we are legally obligated and expected to pay our share of the rent and utilities until our part of the lease runs out- which is not something that my partner can currently afford on top of the costs of living independently in our new place. Thus, we need to raise $3,000 over 6 months to cover their share of the rent and utilities. The alternative is to leave their mother homeless and living out of her car, to which she has threatened suicide. We have already contacted the national suicide hotline as well as regional mental health authorities, but they cannot help us, and any attempt to get their mother to seek help is violently rejected.
Currently our goal is to raise $600 by the end of February. The rest of the money can be achieved on a month-to-month basis. If my partner gets a job that can cover their share of the living expenses + their mother's care, then we will terminate the fundraiser.
Current status: 0/600 raised
PLEASE DO NOT SHARE ON FACEBOOK. THEIR MOTHER USES FACEBOOK CONSTANTLY, SHARING OVER FACEBOOK WOULD PUT US AT RISK OF FURTHER ABUSE.
Current status: 223/600 raised
I'm completely blown away by the support shown in just the first day ;_; It's really mindboggling to me that we've gotten so many donations already, when we genuinely expected nothing of the sort. It's heartening to know that we're not on our own here.
I asked my partner if they were comfortable with me talking about their living situation prior to coming to live with me, and they gave their consent. So for context, I'm going to give you guys a little more information about just what we're trying to deal with here. Tw for animal abuse/neglect, child abuse/neglect, extremely unsanitary conditions, and animal death.
Current status: 399/600!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Current status: 522/800 (nearly 100% of original goal of 600)
I'm absolutely blown away and deeply grateful by the amount of support shown by everyone who gave a donation. Perry just got rejected from a job that we thought they had in the bag today, and it nearly made me lose hope entirely. Seeing that there's so much support given has been a boon to one of the most stressful times in my life.
As a reminder, none of this money is going to me- 100% of it is going to my partner, Perry, so that they can help cover their mother's living expenses after we leave. We have just enough to live together, but not enough to support ourselves and their mother, meaning that we'd be directly responsible for her death if she's put out onto the streets. Gofundme has already initiated a transfer of $283 to my bank account, which I will then send to Perry as soon as it's finished processing.
Current status: 618/800 (over original goal of 600!!!!)
Y'all I'm completely in shock right now. I honestly did not think that this fundraiser would get any traction, let alone be enough to meet one of the fundraising goals (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). I'm not joking when I say that this is what's keeping us afloat right now, and we're deeply grateful for everyone who donated.
I also have some good news- Perry's got an interview with a bank job coming up, and is in the candidate pool for a small animal hospital assistant gig!! The vet job would be preferred, but either job is leagues better than what they currently have working grocery, so fingers crossed that at least one of them accepts them. I'm hopeful that they can get one soon, and that we won't need to worry about fundraising the rest of the 3k needed to keep rent going for our old place :)
Current status: $638/800
I haven't done an update in a bit because we've been busy packing and it simply hasn't been needed, but I figured that this is a good a time to do another. I just paid March's rent on the new place, and had it not been for this gofundme, we would not have been able to cover the rent on both places as well as the cost of food + utilities. As-is, neither me nor Perry have any money left over, but if we hadn't had the help of you guys, we would be solidly in debt by now.
We aren't out of the woods yet, as we still haven't found someone to take over the lease agreement before March ends, but I cannot overstate enough just how fucked we'd be if I hadn't thought to try my luck with this gofundme. So from the bottom of both of our hearts: thank you thank you thank you to EVERY donor that has contributed to our fundraiser. We would be in an absolute world of hurt if it wasn't for the selflessness of this community.
Current Status: $955/1,100 (end goal 3,000 by early August)
We are now 99.9% moved out of the old house and into our new one- the only thing left to move is the grill, a bike, and a bathmat, and then we'll be done. Perry's interview for the bank seems to have gone well, but we haven't heard back from them about if they got the position or not, so morale is at a low. Their mother has not made any attempt to get a job in the time we've given her to do so, which means that the rent for both places is still on us.
As it stands, I only have 470 in my bank account, and repairs for my truck is going to cost 200. My credit card bill is currently sitting at ~1,200. I don't get paid until April 1st, and we don't know what our energy bill is going to look like for this month. Still, that's 470 more than what I'd have if I hadn't made this gofundme, and for that I am grateful.
Thank you once again for your support. We still are going to need it in the coming months, but we wouldn't have been able to do this at all without the help of the gofundme, as it's covering all the hidden costs that we did not anticipate before the move (such as trash cans and cleaning supplies costing nearly $400...and that was at Walmart for the cheapest stuff we could find). February has been one of the worst months of my life, but without this gofundme, it would have been far, far worse.
Current Status: $1155/1400!!!! (end goal 3,000 by the end of August)
I don't think I have words anymore for how grateful I am for this support- the payment for my transmission fluid/filter just went through, so I currently only have $80 in my account at the moment for the entire month. Again, this is primarily to help cover my partner's expenses, but there's been a lot of little hidden fees that have just been adding and adding and adding without either of us knowing what to do about it. Perry also hasn't heard back at all from the bank job that did a second interview with her, so our hopes are low at the moment.
As soon as I get my tablet unpacked, I'm planning to work on my commissions so that I can clear the backlog I have for emergency coms, so be on the lookout for that!
Current status: $1186/1400
Sooooo the bank job still hasn't called back after the second interview, and my partner's mother told them today that she still expects me to pay 1/3rd of the rent at the other place...which I cannot afford, because I'm currently paying full rent on this place until Perry gets a job and we can split it 50/50. The original plan was for me to fully cover rent here while Perry covered 50% of the rent on the other place, as it barely fits within both of our budgets, but I'm not sure if this woman can afford it. And because I'm contractually obligated to pay the lease money until I find someone to take over my portion of the lease (which I'm working on, but she really doesn't want to accept), I'm stuck. I can cover rent here, but it leaves me with ~$400 or less per month to also cover food and utilities, and groceries often go over $200 these days for food alone.
Sooo uh. Yeah. This gofundme is still very much necessary.
