AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS Guided By Angels (Live)

To Tumblr celebrities and followers, please read my message.👇

My posts are always about pain, bombings, hunger, and destruction. What else can I do? This is the life we have been forced into by an endless war. We used to be one of the happiest and most loving families.

I support my family through your donations—I buy medicine for my father and mother, who suffer from chronic illnesses, and I provide for my siblings, my wife, and my children.

Please help us. This is the short version of my plea: donate and share—it makes a huge difference

Don't leave us alone. Every donation and every act of kindness is an investment in humanity. Right now, our living conditions are beyond desperate.

A donation = saving a family from being wiped out.

I love all books but sometimes you read a book and you’re like so were all 21 thousand of you blindfolded and at gun point when you rated it 5 stars

I know most people don't care about anything unless it has to do with the U.S. but can we please start talking about the Canadian election.

Please don't vote for Poilievre. He's basically the Canadian Trump and plans to put in place laws that harm trans youth, and lots of other shit.

Please vote istg this is the only way anything will get better. Poilievre has been kissing millionaires and billionaires asses. He'll make life even harder, and he loves Trump.

Reblogs are appreciated, especially if you aren't Canadian.

Mrs Carl Meyer and her Children, 1896 by John Singet Sargent (American, 1856-1925)

men lose their masculinity (the social reward for correctly performed manhood) through advocating for, sympathizing with, or doing labor that is allocated to women.

(and I'm not talking about some innate, spiritual, or psychological masculinity. I mean social masculinity--being regarded by higher ranking men as masculine.)

you genuinely do lose your current standing if you meaningfully and consistently object to the economic, legal, and interpersonal status of women, especially in ways that implicate men around you.

many men believe that if they are willing to do this, occasionally, then they are owed a recuperation of their masculinity through some other means.

if they are sacrificing masculinity through advocating for women politically, then they expect to bolster their masculinity through receiving expressions of gratitude and adoration by women ("feminist men are so hot" "consent is sexy" "pro-choice men get laid more" etc.) or they expect to bolster their masculinity through emasculating other men by asserting the standards of masculinity they adhere to are the "real" masculinity ("real men support women" "sexists are immature boys, I'm a man" "I'm secure in my masculinity and they're insecure" etc.)

to dismantle patriarchy, you need to be able to advocate for women even when it means losing gendered status. other men mostly will not respect you, and many misogynist women will not respect you either. it might not get you laid or praised or validated. in fact, it will probably subject you to increased scrutiny and criticism (because feminized subjects are always subject to such, and if you lose social masculinity, you too will experience this to some degree).

will you still advocate for women even if there is no social benefit and only social cost? do you have principles, or do you just want the fantasy of being a benevolent ruler?

I swear to God, if someone were to trap 2 million animals, deprive them of food and water, and kill 50,000 of them, the world would be shaken by this catastrophe and brutality.

What's happening is unbelievable, illogical. We are human beings... human beings!!

If we do not die from the occupation's bombing, we will die in the air Please help us and donate to our families here.

We call upon you from under the insane bombardment. We swear to you that we are burning now. Speak for us, perhaps this will intercede for you.

Help us, maybe this will intercede for you

Donate to us and you may save lives that could die of hunger.

One of the cool “inventions” of the 19th century were Geissler’s low-pressure gas tubes, very similar to today’s neon tubes. They soon became a toy to have at any self-respecting high society party.
