HELP SHIRA SURVIVE A TRANSMISOGYNIST ATTEMPTED MURDER

Shira is a Turkish trans woman who was the victim of attempted murder by a man on the street who realized she was transfemme. After he stabbed her, dozens of people walked by her on the sidewalk until a teenager stopped and helped her.

Shira is now in the hospital in critical condition. She’s undergone emergency surgery and will need multiple operations and long-term care to recover—physically and emotionally.

Shira has no close family nearby, is not accepted by public organizations in Turkey because she is trans, and she’s unable to work while she heals. Her friends are raising funds to cover her medical bills, therapy, and basic living expenses during this painful time.

As of me posting this, the fundraiser has €125 out of a €12k goal. If you can’t give anything to help a trans woman survive a horrific attack, please at least reblog this, set it on your queue, whatever you need to do to make sure others can see and help. Thank you.

"there should be some kind of test you have to take before having kids" -> wrong, extremely dangerous and highkey eugenicist and racist "the youth should have safe and effective legal pathways at their disposal to make sure their human rights are constantly protected and upheld" -> based, centers the youth, gives minors more power to fight inequality and does not reinforce the idea that parents are immune to scrutiny from their kids

monogamous but not in the "im wayyyy too jealous to ever let my partner date someone else haha." monogamous in the "i only have enough relationship energy for one partner, and the partner i'm with is the same way, and all of the needs that we need from a partner are filled by each other. this works for us, and might not work for you" way.

PLEASEEE be normal about polyamory even if you're not poly chat!

I love fat people

i love trans women and trans fems more than anything else in this world. my existence is to support the tgirls i come across . heart emoji

[centipedewizard]

every trans woman, no matter how dominant or sadistic or brave or stone, has a self that, if you make her feel both safe and desired enough to be so vulnerable as to become that self, melts at your touch and cries in your arms and holds you like you're the most important thing in the world and if you receive such blatant and raw trust from a woman in your life you better treasure it like an oceanbound castaway stumbling upon a freshly dead turtle and if you hurt her in this state you deserve to have every droplet of joy and value you see in your life drained from you by the hot and vengeful sun.

[centipedewizard]

if you’re a white creator and your brown/black characters are always sassy, reckless, aggressive or cold and your white characters are always soft, demure, shy and introverted you should think about maybe why you did that

[centipedewizard]

You - white queer person who goes on and on about protecting black trans fems - Do you have black trans fem friends? What about black nonbinary friends or black trans masculine friends? Do you have any black friends? If you live in a predominantly white area and feel like you don't have many chances to build community with black people offline do you still engage with black art, even when no one's looking? Do you read black literature for your own enjoyment? Do you actively engage with anti-racist politics and challenge your fellow white people? Do you see black trans fems as human beings that you share community with or are they an abstract concept that exist at an arms length away from you? Because it's good to say you care but are your words aligning with your actions off the internet and outside of online public scrutiny where no one is watching you perform or is it all just lip service?

found the prettiest boots in the thrift the other day, sadly they were damaged, so i asked the shop owner about it and got them for 10€ instead of 27.50€. luckily i was able to fix em up quite easily.

before and after:

i first cover a piece of scrap fabric in modge podge and inserted it in the rip, between both layers of the shoe, i glued it to the inside of the outer layer of fabric, so the rip would be pulled together, clamped it down and left it to dry for a few hours.

after that i sewed the rip together with embroidery thread (which i thinned first, i used 2 strands of the 6 it was made up off) and used the parachute stitch, which is amazing for rips like this. its similar to a whip stitch but instead of an 0-shape you make an infinity-shape. going between the fabrics.

after that i cut away the loose threads, and sprayed both boots with protective spray.

the fix is hardly visible from afar and i think it just add to the boot anyway.

I love my anarchist comrades, but u guys can be soooo annoying sometimes. Like, no, being happy about Mamdani winning doesn't make one a lib, it just means that you think it's good that the less terrible candidate won. Yes, the institutions are systemically bad, but let's not pretend that who's running them has absolutely no impact whatsoever; policies have real effects on real people, and not caring about the suffering of people cos "both options are bad" is not great. Like, yes, every capitalist and statist institution is bad, but maybe there's bad and worse

[centipedewizard]

this ^^ this is what i'm after

Update on these shorts birch got from value world in '95

I've been using a different color thread for every round of mending just to keep track of how it progresses. The hot pink is the latest
