Insane how many payment systems will send you emails like this “your payment is DUE there is no more time left you gotta pay that shit NOW” and the next day send you “Hi thank you for your automatically scheduled autopayment which we have received on time:)”

🤗 i dont like this emoji. this is not a hug to me. this is someone doing condescending jazz hands in my general direction when i am in need of affection. not comforting.

🫂 i love this emoji. this is a hug. we are hugging and its nice. and as a special bonus they appear to be my old friends from the msn messenger logo? very comforting.

you cannot talk about the homophobic murder of jonathan joss without including in the conversation that he is indigenous.

american indian men are at the 2nd highest risk of death by murder compared to all other ethnic groups. in their lifetimes, 82% of native men report having experienced domestic violence. yet the overwhelming majority of perpetrators are non-natives (88% of native men and 92% of native women who reported violence said their attacker was non-native). what’s more, tribal governments are often stymied in their attempts to bring justice against non-natives, meaning that many of these cases go unresolved.

this was an intersectional attack. the fact that he is indigenous matters, even if the motivation was homophobic, because it made him even more vulnerable and disposable in the eyes of his killer.

as always, look into MMIWP to learn more, and speak up for us. miigwetch, take care

Tumblr will say say that certain animals are unfairly demonized and then without a shred of self-reflection unfairly demonize completely different animals

you're like "Israel is committing a genocide and it's very founding was a historical tragedy on par with the settlement of the Americas, but I have a lot of trouble with supporting the killing a lot of innocent people in response"

and they're like "well you HAVE to do all that there's no other CHOICE"

and you're like "so I guess you support the bombing of Japan"

and they're like "ah ha! Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren't necessary at all!"

and you're like "no I mean the fire bombing of Tokyo, which actually did target valid war industry targets and even came with leaflets warning civilians to evacuate but still killed way more people than the atom bombs"

and they're like "well America didn't do that to stop genocide"

and you're like "Japan attacked America specifically because they knew we would continue to interfere with their takeover of Asia"

and they're like "well that was in America's interests, they didn't actually CARE about Asians"

and you're like "yeah? and what was the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact? the Soviet Union altruistically sharing the conquest of Eastern Europe with the Nazis out of brotherly generosity?"

and they're like "fuck you you're just a Zionist"

and you're like "no, I've despised Israel since long before you ever heard of it and if you gave me a world map to hang on the wall and some darts I'd have a new hobby, I just think that the primary faction directly fighting them at this point in time are not even slightly competent at the task let alone morally superior, which is something you should be able to understand if you take a hardline view about America vs. the Nazis and Imperial Japanese, because that's your position, isn't it? the Nazis and Imperial Japan were bad, committing genocide, but America and England were still evil too, yes? they shouldn't be credited with anything? the bombings and the hypocritical colonialism and domestic racism and everything else was all bad even though their actions served to stop multiple genocides?"

and then they block you

Car Trunk vs Car Boot: A clear win for US English, trunk was already a thing in which you stored items, frequently for transport.

Crisps vs Chips: I gotta admit, the Brits have this one. They're thin slices of potato that have been made crispy. No chipping of any materials involved.

Car Park vs Parking Lot: Equally matched. What's a car park? A place to park cars. What's a parking lot? An otherwise empty lot where you can park.

Elevator vs Lift: Both equally fail to address that the damn thing also goes down.

It's crazy how women who believe that all men are mindless rapists are like. Extreme anti-feminist strawmen who essentially don't exist in real life. And a man who believes that all women are mindless vessels for receiving sex is, like, your dad

it’s all “death before detransitioning” until it’s a trans guy, in which case detransitioning isn’t that bad at least you don’t have to worry about being murdered in the streets and it’s easier for you to be women anyway since you won’t shut up about your agab and honestly why do you wanna be a man anyway everyone fucking hates you so maybe you should think about detransitioning but I still won’t treat you like a person because if you detransition that must mean you’re a TERF now so you should probably just kill yourself either way

remember kids, the moral of "Irish and Italians weren't even considered White yet!" isn't "because in those times people were so ignorant they didn't think the Irish were white". the moral is "because white is an unreal category created to justify slavery and ongoing hoarding of power and wealth". It's not that you know better about Italians. It's that the boundaries of the higher caste have changed.

There are a lot of really good reasons to utterly despise this post, most obviously the fact that it trivializes the very idea that trans people AFAB have hardship growing up. It's so abominably monstrous on that front alone it's kinna hard to believe this is a real person and not what you'd get if you asked ChatGPT for a parody of radical feminism. Truly a level of willful cruelty for cruelty's sake matched only by Captain Planet villains.

But can I ask, transradfems, why, if it's like this, we're concerned about young trans girls having access to HRT and puberty blockers? Can someone remind me why, if this is how things truly are, we care about trans girls on school sports teams? If this is the state of affairs, why do we bother giving a fuck about trans girls being taken away by CPS because they're parents let them grow their hair out?

Because I cannot fathom how this is not, if anything, an argument for why all of the above would be just and necessary. You're saying every trans woman who transitioned at a young age was sex trafficked and has drug problems? Holy shit, so you're saying we need to stop that from happening and get them out of their abusive homes and have Christofascists adopt them? Are you fucking stupid?

What a fucking insult to the parents of early transitioning trans girls. It fucking galls me so badly to see this awful, ghoulish sentiment expressed so confidently. I had an abusive mother. I'm a victim of transphobic neglect. I literally still have nightmares about her. And the idea that was the only possible way it could have gone - no, that it would have been even worse for me if I had been allowed to transition - makes me furious beyond belief. Holy fucking hell, what a dried-up fucking husk of a soul you have to have to say any part of this on any level.

thought it was a one-off thing, but i've now seen multiple pictures and videos of red-bellied woodpeckers touching other birds with their tongue at bird feeders. why are they suck little freaks?
