Free Palestine any/all pronouns 19

i do think there should be more stories and shows and stuff about guys falling in love with butch women actually, i think thatโ€™d be a good thing. and not โ€˜this is as butch as twitter can handleโ€™, i mean butch as can fucking be without apology, and making those boys weak in the knees about it. i think itโ€™s great actually to have f/m romances that exist to break gender norms, too. i think it sucks that the only mainstream het romances that exist are either about women who are already feminine or with women who are just a little too scarily masculine and have to be fixed into being girlier. thatโ€™s shit.

Not only is the death toll in Gaza continuously rising but so is the death toll of Palestinians in Israeli prisons.

Megiddo Prison is awful and has long been known for its brutal treatment of Palestinian detainees.

Israel is killing children in it's prisons as well as killing them while they sleep in their homes.

Happy Halloween season! Here's another stab at my own take of Carrie White, based on her book description. I'm super happy with how these turned out! I'd love to tackle some of the other characters in the book eventually, especially Margaret!

Yeah I donโ€™t get this.. glad I donโ€™t have kids. I mean what are you supposed to say?

itโ€™s about the context. if a kid feels bad about doing something, they are unlikely to do it again unless they feel like they have to or if they donโ€™t know another way to get it done. children are just small humans; they donโ€™t like feeling bad/guilty/etc. any more than anyone else does. so if a kid comes forward and says โ€˜I did this bad thing and I feel bad about itโ€™ and you scold them for doing that thing that they already feel bad about, then you are effectively just scolding them for coming forward. if the kid already feels bad, they donโ€™t need an adult to tell them they should feel bad. in reality, the kid was probably coming forward about it because they wanted the adult to explain how to make it right, or how to do it properly.

Thank you, this helps. I like kids but being autistic sometimes itโ€™s confusing because here in donโ€™t know what the script is.

An appropriate script could be:

  1. Telling the kid that it is very brave of them to come forward and admit that they did something wrong.
  2. Having a conversation to find out why they did the bad thing. Sometimes thereโ€™s an underlying reason that needs to be addressed like โ€˜Iโ€™m worried the other kids think Iโ€™m not cool enough so I broke a ruleโ€™ or โ€˜I was mad at my sister because she called me fat so I broke her toyโ€™, etc. These conversations might be more important than the bad thing.
  3. Telling the kid that we all make bad decisions sometimes and while we should try not to do that again, making a bad decision doesnโ€™t mean weโ€™re bad forever.
  4. Telling the kid that the best way to feel less bad about it is to try to make things right. Did they secretly take momโ€™s piece of cake? Maybe we can go bake a new piece of cake together and give it to mom. (The point here is not to make the kid really produce something of equal value to what they stole/broke/etc. A child often can not do that. The point is to practice what fixing the damage you have done looks like).
  5. Finishing the conversation with supportive words and maybe a hug, depending on the child and your relationship to that child. Above all the goal is making sure the child leaves the conversation feeling happy that they chose to come forward and committed to doing so again if they mess up in the future.

reblog because this.

fun fact one of the world champions in pepper-eating contests is a trans woman and she actually faced significant backlash because people somehow thought she had a biological advantage. to eating spicy pepper

update bc i went back and checked: her name is brianna โ€œthe chilli queenโ€ skinner and she set a record in 2017 by slamming back 23 carolina reapers consecutively. she only stopped when told to by the referees, and the next year she stepped down out of boredom. queen

Here's a picture of her, by the way

And her super supportive wife

The championship, it should be noted, is unisex. Apparently being a trans woman gives you an innate biological advantage over both cis men and cis women.

The innate biological advantage of being cool as fuck

every now and then on every social media site a liberal will come across my dash blaming all of trumps evils on "leftists not wanting to vote for a black woman" and every single time I will look at their other posts and find them trying to act like biden didn't explicitly bypass several laws to arm Israel for an ongoing genocide.

they act like the Dems didn't constantly and loudly appeal to right wing value ms on the campaign trail. like Kamala offered anything besides "I'm not the other guy" with literally zero promises.

It's the job of the democratic party to do and say what they have to do and say to win, they stood over a burning pyre and said "if you don't give me what I need and expect nothing in return I will throw us both in the fire" and it didn't pay off for them. Liberals need to own up to this or shut the fuuuUhhck up

I still think about the week before the election. harrises campaign was saying N O T H I N G except anti immigration, harder foreign policy and pro cop funding shit. Sweet fuck all else. it's embarrassing that they expected it to fall into their lap for nothing. they were so adamant the status quo was 'good actually' because they're fucking liberals so of course they would. they are the political stagnation that allows tyrannical scum like trump and bush and Reagan to take power by offering the same things they do but "being more reasonable about it"

I'm like 50% sure this is how Napoleons nephew took power in France so easily
