me trying to find character driven asoiaf oneshots focusing on my faves instead of endless long poorly written self insert stories rewriting the entire history of westeros tagged with every single character who ever lived

“For the World is Hollow and I have Touched the Sky” is the longest episode title EVEr but it’s a great episode where McCoy get’s romanced and it’s great.

My friend Mahrah (@mahrahpalestine) is an engineering student. She is brilliant and speaks with a clarity of analysis and thoughtfulness (even in a second language, even while living in crisis), that is profoundly impressive and humbling to me. She holds hope that Palestine will be free, and when it is, she will use her knowledge and skill to help rebuild.

Her father lost his job due to the war, and she does not have the money for university fees. The situation for her and other Palestinians is getting more difficult as the duration of the crossing closure increases, and the genocidal famine is leading to sickness and starvation.

Mahrah explained, "Food is missing from the markets. If the food is found, it is usually unhealthy because it contains preservatives and we eat it for a year and 8 months, and this causes diseases. But there are no other options to do without it. My nephews are at risk for my father's and mother's diseases and need healthy food because they are at an advanced age. It's like a famine, but there is no media to cover what's happening. They killed all the journalists."

Donations have been slowing, and she is afraid for her family's health. If you can spare some money to help them, please do.

Mahrah has been so incredibly kind and loving to me in our conversations, even checking in how I've been while recovering from surgery. She has extended so much compassion towards me, and I want to encourage others to extend that same level of compassion towards her.

"Maybe in another lifetime" no. This is literally all we get. Send that text. Go out on Friday. Tell your friends and family that you love them. Be kind. Because you only get this life once. Your life is not a game, you can't replay this. Don't hide behind your fears and "what ifs".Don't leave any stones unturned if you felt the need to ever turn them.

A little boy just looked at me and went “woah! That girl is so tall!! I didn’t know girls could get that tall!” To his grandpa.

Grandpa talked to him about how he had tall women in his family and how pretty tall girls are and the boy said he should ask me out 💀 so grandpa was like “she’s probably already married”

Listening to this exchange was so cute and so gender affirming bc not once did either of them imply I was actually a man I’m gonna cry this was so sweet.

Just like. Grandpa didn’t try to “um actually” correct him about me being trans just went instantly into giving him respect women juice lmfao

I was bracing for the kid to get corrected on calling me a girl but when it didn’t happen i felt such a relief instantly. At no point did it become A Problem for me to deal with, grandpa just gently had a convo about how women come in all sizes and how the boy has really tall family members too and I’m just sitting here trying not to cry (positive) bc gender euphoria mixed with it just being such a cute convo to listen to.

I’ve been having a lot of anxiety lately as someone who “doesn’t pass” but who’s also extremely Visible due to being 6’2” and having a very distinctive style, but every time I have a younger queer or kid look at me with stars in their eyes because some facet of me that I refuse to hide is amazing to them, it makes me so fucking happy. Like, to this kid I wasn’t some tranny, I was just a Giant Woman and he didn’t realize that was possible until he saw me. 🥹

A giant woman :)

UK supreme court has ruled in law that trans women are not to be considered women

"The UK Supreme Court has unanimously decided that the definition of sex under the Equality Act 2010 refers solely to biological sex, and does not include people with a Gender Recognition Certificate." - Jess O'Thompson

Trans women are no longer protected under sex based protections against discrimination

GRCs are now functionally harmful

A post op trans woman with a GRC is now banned from "women only spaces" like a women's toilet.

I'm gonna build a bomb

wait those protections we've been denied includes bathrooms ? is that all of us ? fuck. suppose we weren't included before, right ? like that was the reason behind the GRC. I hate this country so much.

and they still have the audacity to act like they're so smart and know best and have our best interests at heart. ooh "it won't put you at a disadvantage" fuck off the protections against transphobia don't do shit anyway and they certainly don't cover the misogyny component of what we face.
