Please call this recession the Trump Slump.

We need to put Trump's name on this.

if ever anything I wrote were to ever go viral, let it be this. Let everyone talk about the Trump Slump. I want to hear this term in the news.

Disabled trans woman needs help affording wheelchair

Remaking my donation post as the information is outdated.

I need help affording an electric wheelchair, as I am unable to leave the house and walk for long without one. I've been trapped in the house for months, only leaving for absolute essentials and doctor's appointments. I'm currently halfway towards affording the model I've selected. Absolutely anything helps. Thank you very much if you're able to help.

y'all want everything on the woman to be fat except the woman.

the number of art pieces I see where a wide woman has a stick thin neck or a thin woman has a disproportionately round stomach or the fucking twitter hips phenomenon of "this is my character Fat Fuck" and its a thin woman with mile wide hips and thighs is annoying.

learn some fucking anatomy or im taking away your "I fuck with fat bitches card" until you know what a fat woman actually fucking looks like.

reblog it cowards.

love it when I start getting "based on your likes" terf bullshit every few posts and I have to scramble back through my recent likes to figure out what innocuous meme poisoned the well

gender is made up nobody is doomed to any special horrible fate because of how they were born everyone gets to choose how they live their own life trans rights are human rights now TOUCH GRASS

tumblr: I see you've hit "not interested in this post" on the last eight recommended posts I've shown you about how you're innately weak and fragile and surrounded by evil predators that will eat you alive and your life is naturally under the control of the big strong alpha males who rule all of reality and your only freedoms are the scraps they deign to dole out to you because you have no power or agency or ability or value and you're a useless weak little baby who should never go outside in case a Man decides to Hurt You, but hear me out - I think you'll really like this ninth post that says the exact same thing!

37 people were illegally detained in Bellingham, Washington for the ‘crime’ of speaking Spanish. This is so fucking inhumane and cruel

⬆️ racial unity now is matching funds for the detainees and their families. please help if you can.

it's shameful how long i had to look to find an article covering this story that gives more information besides saying "37 undocumented workers were arrested wednesday." cascadia news and the AP were the only sources i found that include any journalism whatsoever beyond the police report.

Hey, this is local for me. It would mean a lot if you could help out even a little bit.

Bellingham Herald covered it among plenty of others in the region. Here's the Seattle Times.

The Stranger (Seattle based) didn't do a dedicated story on it (yet) but mentioned it twice, here and in the April 3rd daily slog here.

Whatcom News has something sort of about it

Not to mention that lots of local activist groups and individuals and locals are posting about it and talking about it on social media. I'm only really on Instagram and Threads to a much lesser degree. I'm also seeing Bellingham Herald, Cascadia Daily (aka Cascadia News?) on IG posting about the 37 taken.

Also in the same area, Immigration activist and farmworkers union leader Alfredo (Lelo) Juarez Zeferino was taken by ICE in Sedro-Wooley and is being held in Tacoma detention center the last I have heard. Here's a Bellingham Herald piece about it (lots in the area are covering it as well).

Reminder that notes/online attention are not a reliable indicator of how well a campaign is going.

You might see fundraising posts with thousands of notes on your dash daily and think to yourself "this person must be doing fine!"

I wish that were true. I saw a post earlier referring to people with fundraisers as "those fortunate enough to have internet clout" but unfortunately internet clout is not a currency that can buy food and other necessities. It's only a testament to how much effort that person spends desperately networking in order to make ends meet, and often not succeeding at that. These people do not have an advantage.

I spotlight for @dr-anas96 and his posts consistently get a lot of notes. He's vetted here.

And where does that get him?

He's barely at 19% of his goal, as of today, December 13th, which marks 6 months since he started fundraising.

Anas is slowly dying of starvation and of his illnesses that he cannot currently get treated for. Don't be fooled by the amount of notes this will get. If you can spare a dollar please don't hesitate to donate here.

Hey late-20-somethings that are reblogging this from me feeling bad:

Please know that I reblogged this because I'm about 40 and I was laughing hysterically at this because of how much it is not true no matter how much it feels like it.

You're gonna be okay.
