it's so fucked like. trans women face insane amounts of job discrimination compared to most of the population -> trans women are disproportionately economically coerced into sex work -> moral panics about sex and indecency are a veil for moral panics about queer people -> among queer people, trans women are the most targeted = trans women will almost always get fucked over first when we discriminate against sex work = world is a fuck we need to start killing

if you can't, that's fine but i do ask your help in aiding the campgain of @abdulrahman-family, that is something you can do by donating and sharing it with other people, but i do hope you ask yourself why can't you destroy your life yet into something that resembles the actions you know are right for the liberation of palestine.

there's too many entering a phase of starvation, even the zionist infested united nations recognizes the gravity of israeli tactics is nearing mass death out of the hunger alone in palestine, and zionists do not mean to stop, please help however you can, aid here, join protests, share the campaigns please.

€5,176/30,000

If you have not yet heard, starvation in Gaza is worsening and people are still risking their lives just to access aid--nearly 100 people were killed seeking aid on Sunday. A UNWRA worker stated: “Everything around people at the moment is death, whether it’s bombs or strikes, children wasting away in front of their eyes from malnourishment, from dehydration, and dying.”

Every donation no matter how small is a fingerprint of mercy in hearts that are in pain😖

Join us in feeding the hungry in Gaza

we cook for life not for profit ⛓️‍💥

Help a single mother of two small children in north Gaza

Single mother Maha and her two children Joan (7) and Khalil (5) are displaced in north Gaza. They are still in besieged Beit Lahiya, and need funds for transportation out of the area ($500 usd) and rent for shelter (about $2,000 usd). They also need to purchase Joan's medication, which is $500 usd, and $200 usd to buy a bag of flour that is not soiled by insects and/or mold. Anything you can give, no matter how small it seems, will help this young family survive genocide.

@mahafamily1 @ahmed-family-1

Please note the conversion rate: $1 usd = €0.89 EUR (so $10 usd would be €8.9 EUR, $20 usd would be €17.73 EUR, etc)

when I look at Trump voters I'm seeing a few different reasons for why they might have voted for him and whether they got what they were hoping for, and obviously this is a very qualitative assessment based on discourse vibes, not aiming for polling accuracy or anything:

there are the people that want to troll the libs so they voted for Trump and he gave them exactly what they asked for, best exemplified I think by stuff like the recent push to bring back the Washington Redskins brand, like why would the US president be doing that? why would anyone be doing that? but boy does that troll the libs! so these voters won, at least if they haven't been deported or lost their jobs or benefits or anything like that.

then there are the people that really dislike Democrats, and they are technically correct that Trump is not a Democrat, so whether they approve of Trump or not relative to other Republican candidates they at least spared themselves four years of Kamala.

some people want a tax cut and figure Trump is going to give them one; I think that's actually not guaranteed when you look at the bigger picture, like a big tax cut over here tends to be balanced out by a tax hike over there, but at least in the short term Trump is delivering the goods (to voters in the appropriate tax bracket anyway).

some people dislike Mexicans specifically or foreigners in general and they're certainly getting what they wanted.

apparently there are some people who aren't super racist or xenophobic but just want people to follow the law and so they voted for... Trump? fuck off, the man hasn't seen a law he wouldn't wipe his arse with, but okay sure let's admit the possibility that there is someone out there who believes in deporting illegal immigrants, is absolutely not racist about it, and also believes in the principle of unchecked executive power so they're not hypocritical about it either, no doubt they're heartbroken to see how ICE is doing this and they're also a fucking moron.

a group of people I find interesting are the evangelicals who vote for Trump because a lot of them go hard on the idea that he's a servant of god, it isn't just a political coalition of convenience where they hold their nose and vote for the morally repugnant guy who's going to help them ban abortion in exchange, they actually believe he's a devout believer or a prophet or even a god-king of sorts, like that sounds crazy but go look at some of the shit that middle aged evangelical women used to tweet at this man when he was still on Twitter, it's unhinged, so much so that I can't even say with confidence whether they got what they wanted because what they wanted and what they see is so completely detached from reality.

there are also various tech billionaire types who pivoted to back Trump for a variety of reasons, one would assume self-interest, and it's complicated to evaluate whether they're getting what they paid for, jury is still out on that one, but crypto supporters certainly seem to be getting what they wanted and that's relaxed regulation on crypto products and potentially US government investment in bitcoin (!).

now who have I missed

*shaking you by the shoulders* tradwives are a part of american white supremacist fascism. they are not, in fact, a product of "liberal choice feminism". please get this through your head before you fall down the radfem pipeline

Beautiful blue glass beads from the late Bronze Age. Ploughed up by a farmer in Denmark in 1885, analysis shows the beads were made in Mesopotamia, pointing to long-distance trade in luxury goods some 3,000 years ago. 📷 National Museum of Denmark

told somebody a while ago "the winter soldier as a character concept is extremely 2005" and they had no idea what the hell i meant by that and i couldn't articulate it either at the time. but then later i had my most succinct explanation, which is just: you know what else came out in 2005? boulevard of broken dreams, and the shadow the hedgehog game

Ozzy Osbourne’s death is like the death of a crusty white 3 legged no toothed dog in it’s mid 20s. It’s shocking and heartbreaking, but the shock mostly comes from the fact that it lived so long and through so much bodily strain that you kind of subconsciously assumed it was immortal.

trying to word this in a way that isn't hideously regressive and reactionary, but i do think, for me personally at least, the most effective "lady knight" character archetypes and stories are the ones that exist in a setting that at least acknowledges the existence of gender-based oppression/essentialism and patriarchal hegemony. which isn't to say that nobody can or should create art where societal values are more progressive and women are allowed and even encouraged to become knights, but that - to me - exploring what it means to transgress against the established social order in order to become a public figure whose intended purpose is to maintain, protect, and reinforce that same established social order (through violence) is much more interesting.

the real true purpose of having a brain is to think about fictional characters
