you've all gotta stop acting like "overweight" is a gentle PC alternative for the word fat and not itself an assertion of the ontological wrongness of being large. Over What Weight Precisely
(This post is brought to you by the fact that tumblr are, hilariously, claiming that 50% of current users are gen z, and i wanna see how accurate claim that is.)
Eid al-Fitr is a special celebration for Muslims around the world, marking the end of a month of fasting and devotion. It is a day of joy and gratitude, where we gather with family and friends to celebrate the conclusion of Ramadan. One of the beautiful traditions is giving "Eidi," a gift, usually money, to children and loved ones as a symbol of happiness. 🎁
Despite the immense challenges and hardships we face in Gaza, including war and blockade, we never forget to celebrate Eid. We choose to live in the moment and stay hopeful, because Eid is a time to spread joy and hope in our hearts and the hearts of those around us. 🌸 This Eid is a message of resilience and strength, showing that life goes on no matter the circumstances. 💪
Eid Mubarak to all! 🌙✨
I hope you will donate for the Eidiya

Roman descriptions of Celtic warriors are so horny it’s hilarious they’re like “They think they’re impressive, fighting naked where you can see every wound on their exquisite well-formed bodies, their pale slender necks encased in gold. They are so fierce in battle, these stupid superstitious barbarian fucks. They are a proud people, all tall and well built and, did I mention, fighting naked?” you want to fuck them so bad it makes you look stupid. The dick out battle method was definitely working.
“I’ve really tried to understand the Israelis. I used to work on a farm in Israel. I speak Hebrew. I watch their news. All the time they talk about fear. How they have to run to their bunkers to hide from the rockets. How their children can’t sleep because of the sirens. This is not a good way for them to live. We Palestinians don’t talk about fear, we talk about death. Our rockets scare them; their rockets kill us. We have no bomb shelters, we have no sirens, we have nowhere we can take our children and keep them safe. They are scared. We are dying.”
hey gamers I’ve started watching star trek does anyone else see the romantic tension between captain kirk and mr. spock

being so fr with you all we need to drastically accelerate anti-car propaganda.
we need to make it so clear to future generations that we no longer tolerate a world where you cannot conveniently go for a walk or get a coffee or get groceries without a car
Hey OP (or anyone else actually, not just OP), we're genuinely curious: has anyone ever come up with how to assist those that are bedbound or housebound because of being disabled/disordered and do legitimately need delivery, specific kinds of transport, stuff like that to survive? Right now a lot of those folks rely on walmart deliveries and stuff which is shitty but there isn't a better choice, which is incredibly unfortunate.
We don't usually see an answer to this question and we refuse to let eugenics be the answer so we would appreciate if someone can explain to us if anything has been thought of.
I think "anti-car" doesn't have to mean "no cars ever" it should mean "cars should not be the primary means of transportation when other solutions are available." It's okay if there are still roads and delivery services and taxis and things of that nature - we're not trying to abolish cars completely. What needs to end is the over-reliance on cars when much more efficient solutions exist for needs like commuting, intercity/crosscountry travel, etc. We do not need every city to have huge multi-lane roads cutting through the center of town. People should not need to sit in highways full of traffic burning huge amounts of gas for an hour or more every day to get to and from work. We do not need to build sprawling housing developments composed of acres and acres of single-family homes with no mixed-use zoning and no bus service.
no shade meant to @anendoandfriendo, genuinely, but your comment kinda came off as sort of a condescending non-sequitur/thought terminating cliche here.
i absolutely agree that it's important to ask "how will this include/accommodate disabled people?" and to not accept eugenics in the name of "the environment";
however i think that the original post doesn't really leave out disabled people (despite, i guess, the wording "go for a walk"? idk?)
a disabled person who is a wheelchair user, or home/bed bound, and relies on things like deliveries to survive is still someone who benefits from a reduction in reliance on cars!
the delivery industry is only dominated by couriers driving cars because our world has been built to rely on cars. believe it or not, delivery systems can and will adapt to communities designed for walking, biking, and public transit.
wheelchair users will enjoy safer, more navigable environments with cleaner air when cars are not the default.
the reliance on cars is a product of capital, and it has negatively shaped our environment for too long. transitioning away to alternate forms of transit benefits everyone!
"damn I'm crying over an insect" "why am I having such strong feelings over how the sky looks" "it's weird how happy this small thing made me feel" THAT'S BECAUSE YOU LIVE HERE!!!! you live on this earth. everything all the time is an experience, no matter how common or mundane. this world is unique. so are its small moments. it is good to enjoy a tiny thing. you love the world even at its smallest scale.

I remember her first day of kindergarten, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she explored her little world. Today, I see her dreaming of a brighter future, but war has shattered her dreams into pieces.
I share these photos with you so you can see for yourselves how our lives have changed in the blink of an eye. My little girl, once full of joy and vitality, now carries responsibilities beyond her years. A photo of her in kindergarten, a photo of her waiting in line for a drop of water, and a photo of her holding a pot of soup with trembling hands—these images tell our story, the story of Gaza's children who deserve a better life.

You have got to be FUCKING kidding me!! Holyshit bro... these motherfuckers are too comfortable with price increases...
ppl are like "the price of games makes sense if you consider how much time and work goes in to them" and i am here to tell you that just like animation, tv, comics, music, every other kind of media, the price tag does not reflect the artist's paycheck. the only wallets getting fatter are at the top, and they are fatter now than they've ever been. support indie and learn to steal or go without
hello fellow non-Black tumblr users. welcome to my saw trap. if you'd like to leave, please name one (1) Black woman author who is not Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, bell hooks, Octavia Butler, or N.K. Jemisin. bonus points if she's published a book in the last five years.
For my own future reference, and for anyone else who wants it, a list of authors mentioned in the notes. (I cannot promise this is comprehensive, there are a lot of reblogs and I might have missed some.) I've included a link for each author, where possible I've tried to find one that leads you to their books, prioritising own websites/publishers, falling back on wikipedia otherwise.
If you find any mistakes in the links let me know and I'll edit. This post will be in two parts, because I literally broke tumblr with how many authors there were. I think it's about a hundred and fifty.

one of the most enduringly obnoxious things about algorithmic feeds is that there is genuinely no amount of blocking and tailoring and "not interested in this" and "show me less content like this" that will ever ever convince the algorithm that you don't want to be shown content promoting weight loss
great minds think of dykes
Hi speaking of medical literacy for trans people, transfems pls check out the website Transfeminine Science, especially their introductory article on feminizing HRT
Non-transfems can reblog this as well btw
green's my colour.
[Image Description: Text of the poem “To the Young Who Want to Die” by Gwendolyn Brooks, next to a black and white photo of the poet. Poem reads as follows:
Sit down. Inhale. Exhale. The gun will wait. The lake will wait. The tall gall in the small seductive vial will wait will wait: will wait a week: will wait through April. You do not have to die this certain day. Death will abide, will pamper your postponement. I assure you death will wait. Death has a lot of time. Death can attend to you tomorrow. Or next week. Death is just down the street; is most obliging neighbor; can meet you any moment. You need not die today. Stay here–through pout or pain or peskyness. Stay here. See what the news is going to be tomorrow. Graves grow no green that you can use. Remember, green’s your color. You are Spring.

The US literally invented the playbook by invading Iraq 2 decades ago and keeping it under occupation for nearly a decade after that (and it still is under occupation really, what with US troops still strewn throughout the country)—and we still have people thinking that their every pro-Israeli move isn’t made with the very intention of killing Arabs, as they historically have in the past. Get serious.
What’s even more is I’ve had to watch historians and politicians and US soldiers show their saccharine remorse by stating that the Iraqi war was “a colossal mistake” “a massive military blunder” “we should’ve never gone there.” 1 million Iraqis were killed—and that’s just out of what’s confirmed. The numbers of those forced to flee their homes go as high as 3 million. My mom was one of the Iraqis who had to make the hard decision of leaving her country because she didn’t want us raised in an unsafe environment. And all it is is a “blunder.” Just a military blunder. Iraq has literally been ruined and it’s a blunder.
This will be how Palestine gets covered like a decade from now btw. Millions dead and/or displaced, and it’s watered down to a “military blunder” that “should have never happened.” It’s not like that kind of coverage has stopped the US from continuously leeching off Iraq to this very day anyway. Now there are Arabs like me who never got to live and grow up in their home country, and I’m already getting misgivings from my family about visiting again because of the “unstable state in the Middle East.” We can never enjoy our culture in peace. It literally never ends.
