My friend Sahar @pocketsizedquasar-3 is organizing a fundraiser for Nader @nader1990 and his family, and they're also selling art prints in exchange for donations!

Please consider donating. At only $216 out of the $50,000 end goal, Nader and his family are barely getting by.

They need funds for daily necessities (food, shelter) and they hope to raise enough to evacuate from Gaza during the ceasefire.

This fundraiser will benefit Nader, his wife, and their three children- aged 7, 5, and 3.

Thank you, my friends @feluka @pocketsizedquasar-3 . I want to thank everyone, but we still need help. The crossing is about to open, so I ask you to donate to us so that we can travel safely. There are only $749 left to reach 1k. Please donate to us friends. Please donate.

If you can donate please donate here

when i say my gender changes to the tune of the bit i mean a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do and if he can’t then god forbid women do anything

jokerkind specibus ass

But you still recognized that as a Homestuck reference.

What were YOU doing at the devil's sacrament?

i googled the words & got results from the homestuck wiki. that’s not attending the devil’s sacrament that’s investigating suspicious noises in the woods by lanternlight

People really say "being forced to participate in someone's kink without consent" to mean seeing a gay dude in public. Please get real

How did the conversation around Consent go from like "don't touch people" to "anything that makes you uncomfortable is basically rape so you're actually morally good pure and righteous if you throw a fit about random people minding their own business wearing clothes you don't like" . Remember sexual liberation as like a basic progressive value? Can we try that again

actually it is crazy to me that you can complain about any misogynistic phenomenon under the sun on this website and inevitably you're going to get people crawling out of the woodwork to go "so true op! that's why I focus solely on men!" like ok. i don't think the solution to misogyny is to only pay attention to men actually. let's run some critical thought on that one beloveds

gay men are constantly saying shit like "how can i be a misogynist if i don't give a single fuck about women 😂😂"

im just so happy i live in a time period where actual meaningful biological transition is possible. even if we lose rights or the ability to exist in public, nothing can turn back the clock on that, and just by having any sort of access to that our lives are made immensely better. millions of our sisters throughout history would never have dreamed of a day where they could have what HRT does for us.

please don't lose the plot of this. if you're a trans person on HRT you're a living miracle, the dream of hundreds of millions of your ancestors. your lives are all deeply meaningful no matter what anyone says.

anyway general reminder: you dont have to publicly label yourself as tme if you don't want to, but "are you tme?" IS a very very fair question to ask if you do decide to weigh in on transmisogyny

#some TME people describe themselves in deliberately ambiguous ways to obfuscate their positionality during conversations on transmisogyny#people will say ''as a trans fem'' or ''as a trans lesbian'' or something while being TME and if you call them on it they'll be like#''well I'm trans and feminine'' or ''well I'm trans and a lesbian'' & ''I never said I was TMA"#like you know damn well the implication of ''trans fem'' and ''trans lesbian'' & you choosing that phrasing AND not clarifying you're TME#is so obviously deliberate. like come on.#people think they have plausible deniability doing this but I'm here to say you do not. your denial is not plausible to me.

for the record, if you feel that you cannot control your eating—like, you sit down intending to eat a handful of chips or a couple cookies, and you enter a fugue state and eat the entire package, and you're like, oh my god, why don't I have any self-control when it comes to food, why do I keep doing this—the answer is that it's because you are probably starving. you are probably running on a severe calorie and nutrient deficit and harming yourself by doing so. we should question the idea that exerting "self-control" when it comes to food is even necessary.

Nader Al-Anqar is 17 year old. He was studying hard and trying to graduate when his school was bombed and destroyed.

His family has been displaced over ten times. During the short ceasefire they were allowed to return home, but when they arrived they found it bombed and ruined beyond livable conditions. They're now homeless and are trying to survive in desperate conditions, fearing bombs day and night.

His family includes his mom, his dad (who has cancer and needs urgent treatment), his little brother Mohammed (14 years old), his older brother Abdul Salam (26 years old), his sister-in-law Aya Al-Batniji, and his niece Iman (who is only 1 year old). He worries for his father who can't receive cancer treatment because Israel destroyed so much of the healthcare system, infrastructure, and resources. He worries for his baby niece who has been born into genocidal conditions and only knows this level of danger.

He is just a kid. We text over Signal and he is shouldering so much responsibility for the survival of his whole family trying to fund-raise on tumblr.

He and his brother survived an explosion of two planes just last night. I'm sure you've seen other posts discussing the recent bombings.

He just sent me this recording. You can hear the sound of helicopters firing nearby.

Things are really scary, and he is desperate for help. He shouldn't have to do this alone.

You can donate to his campaign here:

GoFundMe | Help Nader Al-Anqar and his family overcome this war in Gaza

You can send him a kind message here: @abdalsalam2000

Please guys, we are in dire need of your help. Our situation is very difficult. Our life is not cheap. We need help. Please donate to us and help us.

Please understand that not every marginalized person is going to have a list of peer reviewed sources and accurate statistics proving the bigotry they face in their daily life and you sometimes just have to decide to believe people when they tell you they are suffering

If you rely on your instincts to tell you who's lying then the next ted bundy is going to lure you out to the woods and literally eat you alive because statistically speaking your instincts are shit.

I literally just said you shouldn't expect every single marginalized person to be a scholar on their own sociopolitical position — where the hell did you get ted bundy 2.0 is gonna eat you if you believe minorities about their systemic oppression what

He managed to save what remained of his family, but the pain, debt, and distance still haunt him. His only wish now is to reunite with his sister and children, the last pieces of his shattered world.

So far, $7,452 has been raised thanks to 490 generous donors. Your support can help them get reunited.

What it’s like to be slut-shamed when buying birth control

Even when pharmacists do let people access contraception, whether emergency contraception or condoms or prescription birth control pills, the process isn’t always free of judgment. In a series of recent online discussions, people across the country have begun to share stories of the stigma they’ve experienced. As many have pointed out, this can be especially damaging to teens.

DO YOU SEE THIS? PHARMACY EMPLOYEES IN THE U.S. ARE NOT LEGALLY ALLOWED TO DO THIS. THAT GOES FOR THE PEOPLE AT THE FRONT AS WELL AS PEOPLE IN WHITE COATS BEHIND THE CAGE.

If an employee in a pharmacy makes a snide comment - Front store workers, pharmacists, or Pharmacy Techs give you shit? Gently (Or not so gently) remind them that the waiver they signed upon being hired legally binds them from commenting on your purchase, as it is a violation of privacy laws. Doing so is grounds for INSTANT termination and hefty fines.

Pharmacy workers (white coats) are legally obligated to ASK if you need an explanation of how medication works and any side effects, any medication conflicts etc. If you decline, THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED AT ALL TO MAKE SNIDE REMARKS OR FARTHER COMMENT ON YOUR PURCHASE. FRONT STORE EMPLOYEES CAN NOT AT ALL COMMENT IN ANY WAY, IN ANY STORE WITH A PHARMACY IN IT.

Know your rights. If this shit happens? Call them the fuck out and ask to speak to a manager. Get worked up. Cause a scene. Threaten a Lawsuit. If you see this happening to someone else, and they seem to be struggling, speak up for them. 

As a Pharmacy worker, you bet your ass I’ll protect you and your privacy. IT’S MY JOB.

Gotta pay for that Switch 2 somehow

I WILL bring this up again. You will give yourself a huge leg-up by learning basic skills. Look up free YouTube tutorials, see if your library has training classes, take a computer literacy class if you can fit it into your class schedule.

You will do so much better at a job if you can use just the basic functions of Excel, Word, and Outlook. Interested in coding? Learn it! Everyone telling you that AI is going to get rid of the need to know how to do HTML is a damn liar. Take a step back to figure out what you don't know, pick the first thing on the list, and go learn it. It will be worth it!

stop saying degenerate you look like a nazi

tumblr will never be the next pdf at this rate
