the one perk he can't earn

The thought of a child accidentally seeing something of a gruesome nature through a phone screen alone is upsetting. The thought of a child witnessing something of that sort, even for a singular moment, is horrifying.

The knowledge that Gazan children have been endlessly living through unspeakable trauma for over 400 days now, waking up to it, falling asleep to it, experiencing it through themselves and through their loved ones is bleak beyond words. Nothing else seems to matter anymore beyond that.

Today I'm thinking of my friend Nader @abdelsalam1990 who is only 17. On the precipice of adulthood. One of many of an entire generation of Gazans who are growing up through this genocide. When he should be discovering more of the world and himself, pursuing his passions, studying new things, making memories, he is instead restlessly appealing to strangers on the internet for his family's sake because their lives depend on it.

Read his story, pass it on, and if you have anything at all to spare, please don't hesitate for a moment.

The transfer for Nader's previous fundraiser was blocked by gfm and he was forced to make a new fundraiser - here it is

Here we are folks. @bloopdydooooo and I have been working on our very scientific research of assigning fursonas to the dropout cast (+ some extra...) and i have drawn 36 of them. more coming some time in the future, but enjoy this for now!!!! full list of (more specific) animals in the id's for the images!!! ty Cecil for that one!!<333

also not everyone fit in the tags and i cant ramble in there like i usually do with the 30 limit HELP!!! im sorry everyone past image 7....

I see a lot of people bringing attention to Sam Nordquist's murder, and the fundraiser for his funeral. What he went through was horrible, and I wish he'd experienced this kind of support in life as well. Thank you to the community and our allies for speaking up for him.

Around the same time the news about his murder was breaking, a Black trans woman was also murdered in my neck of the woods. Her name was Tahiry Broom. Her family says she loved making people laugh, that she was full of energy and confidence. She was only 29.

Her murderer called 33 sex workers, several of whom were also trans women. He had no money on him. He intended to rob and/or kill at least one woman that day, who he felt society wouldn't rally for or miss. She was just the woman who fell into that category, for him.

Please donate to the GoFundMe organized by her aunt, Patricia Bender. Tahiry deserved so much better. She deserved a full life. Her family is trying to make sure she's surrounded by love in death. From the date of this post (Feb. 18, 2025), it's 4 days until her service (Feb. 22, 2025).

The State department has changed LGBTQ to LGB.

If you claim to care about trans people now is a good time to show genuine ally ship.

And I mean being an ACTUAL ally.

I don't mean sexualizing us or watching trans porn.

I don't mean treating trans mascs like "uwu soft baby boy" and trans femmes as "yass queen girl boss".

I don't mean expecting praise for using the right pronouns and using incorrect ones when "they're a bad trans person".

I mean ACTUAL SUPPORT.

Donate to trans shelters or organizations. DON'T out us to people we aren't out to. Go to protests if you're able, FIGHT ALONGSIDE US. Don't bring us around people you know are transphobic or dangerous, the list goes on. The LGBTQ community is ALL of us not just some of us.

Trans people who are documented as trans on government documents are currently not able to get passports - whether or not they accept their passport being issued as their birth sex, any indication that you're trans on a document that can be accessed by the government is being used as reason to deny a passport.

This is incredibly alarming. Even agreeing to be labeled as your birth sex is not sufficient. They want to deny trans people the ability to leave the country. Any possible reason for this is horrifying.

We need to rally now. Protect the entire community, do not allow them to throw any of us under the bus. None of us will be spared, they're just coming for the most vulnerable people first, and soon enough the most vulnerable people will be YOU.

the last addition ^ is not correct. it is crucial that we are not spreading information with zero sources. the only thing we know at this point is that applications for the ‘x’ gender marker or to change the gender marker on a passport are on hold indefinitely, and they are not accepting new gender marker change applications. i haven’t seen any source that indicates they are not accepting new passport applications for trans people period. the hold has caused people whose gender change application is currently in process to lose the use of their passport. this is terrifying on its own. but please clarify the facts and add sources for any information that you’re sharing.

op’s post is also lacking complete information and a source. a state department travel page regarding guidance for LGBTQIA+ Travelers was changed to LGB Travelers. source and the page itself

stop reblogging posts like these with zero sources linked. if you have time to look into it yourself and add sources, do it. if you don’t have time, keep scrolling, or like it to come back later when you have time. our ability to act effectively is only as a strong as our grasp of the correct information.

apparently, I joined this tumblr place at 1/25/15, 5:10:20 AM.

you guys made luigi mangione trend for days and I need to see the same energy for brianna boston. she is a 43 year old mother of three who ended a phone call with blue cross blue shield (after being denied a claim) “delay deny depose, you people are next” and is now being held under a 100,000$ bond and could face FIFTEEN years of prison if charged. she has no weapons, her record is clean, and yet she is being held behind bars. they are afraid of the public and are trying to subdue. do not let them!!!! be outraged that our freedom of speech is being threatened!!!!! deny defend depose! free brianna boston!

Good news, she is out with all charges dropped

This is apparently false (a lie, given the Polk Co Sheriff's reporting), she has not been released without charges, she has been placed under house arrest pending trial

https://www.wfla.com/news/briana-boston-case-how-would-attorneys-defend-against-threat-accusation/

Do not take your eyes off her case. The announcement that she had been "released without charges" is almost certainly an effort to disrupt the immediate groundswell of public sympathy this exhausted and persecuted single mother is receiving.

Hey, so this is still a thing and all the news outlets are trying to cover up this injustice by not reporting on it. Don't let them get away with it.

still believe that one of the greatest bits of all time was on January 6th, 2021 when. well. you know. and twitter was understandably an echo chamber of panic and fear and Justin McElroy just tweeted a selfie with a filter that was like “have a delicious national spaghetti day” followed by 3 tweets that were like “fuck. i’m sorry. i don’t know how to delete scheduled posts” and as i type this two years later i’m laughing

a belated delicious national spaghetti day to you all

for hanukkah my mom made me a jewish snoopy w a kippah and a star of david necklace and she secretly also made a scooby doo with a tallit and a star of david and a kippah and his name is scooby jew and he is my best friend

I can't lie, I find it very odd that posts cautioning people against donating to individual* campaigns and promoting the idea of supporting mutual aid efforts and community kitchens in Gaza can rack up 10k+ notes--while a post promoting a community kitchen (that I can personally vouch for) struggles to get 1k notes, and has barely pulled in a couple hundred dollars over the past week.

I actively try to avoid using guilting tactics in fundraising, but this is weird to me. It's like people are using these posts as an excuse not to do things they already didn't want to do anyway, rather than actually taking their recommendations on board...

*In my experience, these campaigns often support large extended families + their neighbours

MAQMAP is a community kitchen aiming to support families in the Mawasi Al-Qarara area.

quite literally the only day you can rb this the last one was 2005

Do not really know what to say. A year ago we were making posts about how Gaza was being bombed through Christmas- how the oldest Christian community was being bombed- how the birth place of Jesus was being destroyed and his people murdered. A year later, it is going to be Christmas again soon, and the bombings have not stopped. But the news, and the attention seems to have died down considerably. It feels terrible and scary.

While in past years we celebrated New Year's in the streets and hotels of Gaza, today there are no signs of this left. The Zionists have destroyed everything. Stones and trees have fallen, but strength will not fall from our souls, God willing.

We hope that the celebrations this year will bear the slogan of a ceasefire in Gaza, a cease to genocide, and a halt to the killing of children. Yesterday I said goodbye to my cousin, and before that to my friends.

The years have become painful memories for us. We now want with all our might to stop this genocide.

Please donate to Siraj. In this festival of giving, consider donating even a little. There are ten children in the family all of whom should have had the chance to celebrate like the rest of the world. However, as it is now, there is very little left to celebrate in Gaza. But the funds donated will help as it will go into providing the kids and the rest of the family with the bare necessities.

Siraj and his family is on number 219 on nabulsi and Hussein's doc. The gofundme link has changed, because the old campaign was abruptly closed by the fundraising site.
