About and tag access

Hi! I'm some Queer rando who loves other Queer randos!

This blog is generally tagged, and I'm willing to add more to the tags if you ask! However, I sometimes don't have the energy or don't know how to tag properly- these are tagged with the warning tag "untagged".

I may reblog posts containing nudity or partial nudity (no visible genitals), as well as suggestive content (tagged as "suggestive").

I try to scout for image descriptions and describe posts myself from time to time, so posts are always tagged either as "text" (no images), "described", or "undescribed".

I tend to ramble in tags and I welcome interaction, but if something about me bothers you just block me!

This is a reblog blog, art blog is @sometrasno, cat blog is @ogatonosaco

I’ve been listening to the people in the apartment below me have arguments for two years now and I still can’t figure out what language they’re speaking. The best I can narrow it down is like if Portuguese and Hebrew had a baby. Is that a common pidgin combination

I just listened to a clip of this and jesus christ you fucking got it. there are like 3500 people in the whole united states who speak this and two of them are in a very fraught marriage four feet below me

[ID/ A reply by @ veryspecificfantasies saying: "Yes actually not pidgin but a full language called ladino!!! It's like Yiddish for Sephardic Jews -- a combo of Portuguese/Spanish and Hebrew. Quite a rare language but I heard people speak it in a bagel place once and it really sounds like nothing else." /End ID]

last week two ambulances, a fire truck, a UN vehicle and around 16 rescue workers were dispatched to save people crushed under the rubble after a bombing in rafah (do you remember rafah? one of biden's red lines.) they disappeared, and due to israeli tanks nobody could enter the area and nobody knew what had happened to them.

a few days ago after the tanks left the vehicles were discovered crushed and buried under the sand, and one rescue worker's body was recovered. israel admitted to targeting them. and then yesterday the rest of the workers' bodies were recovered in a mass grave. one of the corpses had wire around one foot, indicating torture and interrogation, several handcuffed, all of them buried in their clearly marked uniforms and gloves.

cnn reported this story alongside like five other incidents of israel targeting humanitarian workers this past week to little outrage because the workers killed were palestinian and not international, and because israel has been regularly killing humanitarian workers.

but for the PRCS (the palestinian red crescent society), the same organization that hind rajab called desperately from her car around this time last year, one of the few that struggled to save lives throughout the war even when it got their workers killed by israeli forces, these are fathers, sons and loved ones who spent a genocide digging people out of rubble with no equipment and trying to save lives:

all of them were buried in a careless mass grave of rescue workers, found after a week of pleading from their loved ones and radio silence from their murderers and those who enable them.

at the UN the PRCS revealed that one of the paramedics had been recording throughout. the video was recovered from his phone by his family, which had been buried with his body.

the video provided concrete proof that the IDF had been lying about how and why the paramedics were killed (i didn't bother mentioning that the IDF denied the accusations in the post above, because if you don't know that the IDF lies about killing palestinians as a matter of policy—now you do)

the new york times covered the video's release, a significant correction as they had been lending credence to israel's denials for the past week (if you don't know that the new york times is functionally a stenographer for the IDF, now you do). they only show the first few minutes in the article, which prove that the ambulances were lit and the rescuers were in their gear

what they don't show is the remaining four minutes, which are audio only, in which you can hear paramedic refaat radwan say his last prayers, over and over, and finally apologize to his mother: "forgive me, mother, i chose this path to help people" while israeli gunshots ring in the background. he was found with a shot in the head.

this is the second time in my life that i have heard posthumous audio from the PRCS in which a palestinian prays to God and pleads for their mother while israeli gunshots are heard in the background. the first was a six year old girl. the second was a young paramedic on his way to rescue people buried under the rubble.

Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol

As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.

So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men's jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.

Seriously, this is extremely Rosa Parks coded. Good looking, religious college girl. It's the whole playbook. She also added this selfie.

I support her and hope this goes as well as it can.

Shoutout to trans women for being the only ones to do something actually politically radical with the recent trend of girlcore catholicism

Her name is Marcy Rheintgen

Marcy Rheintgen!

This is the time to do your part! Rosa Parks isn't famous just for her civil disobedience, but for the widespread change that it helped bring about. If you want to help Marcy? You need to get LOUD about her arrest being unjust. You need to talk about it, you need to call your representatives about it (especially if you live in Florida), and you need to organize around it.

Start a phone or email campaign to put pressure on your national and state legislature. Organize a demonstration in support of her and in opposition to this and similar laws. Social change is not affected by individual heroes, but by large-scale social movements; don't let her arrest be in vain!

We fled from death into the unknown, carrying our pain and fear with us. We left our homes under heavy bombing, searching for a refuge to protect us, but all we found was hunger, thirst, and cold. Our children are crying, our bodies are growing weaker, and hope fades with each passing day without food or water.

We are not asking for much… just enough to keep us alive. Your support can save us—every donation could be a lifeline.

Donate now and be the reason a family survives. You can donate as little as $1 via PayPal or $5 via GoFundMe. vetted here

I love nonfiction that I simply cannot relate to at all. "it's easy to get addicted to buying fast fashion! I used to spend thousands of dollars on it a year!" okay. you're a space alien.

"survey finds that the average person in the UK only wears a piece of clothing 7 times" what are you talking about. what are you fucking talking about. who are these people and in what world are they average.
