god damn you can't even say "i want to decenter men" without other queer people jumping on your ass for being a man hating separatist. feminism is fucking dead.

the world gets a lot easier when you learn to be wrong without getting pissed or doubling down. saying, ‘you’re right, that makes sense, I was misinformed, thanks for telling me’ instead of going to war over something your ego’s latched onto will save you time, energy, and the embarrassment of sounding like a whiny little bitch

isn’t it weird how “auditory processing disorder that ONLY makes you incapable of listening to rap” is only found in nonblacks isn’t that an interesting natural phenomenon that’s totally real

its so funny whenm people share an Inspirational quote attributed to an author over a tasteful balck and white photo of them and you have read the book and are asware that the next five words in it were "said the detestable worm, evilly"

Guy who says “you know, the unabomber kind of had a point” but he just means that “eat your cake and have it too” is a more sensical idiom

Things the media doesn't talk about... People have begun to fall to the ground, not from bullets or shells, but from hunger. That a young man loses his balance in the middle of the road because his stomach is empty. That hunger is ravaging immunity, stealing strength from the bones, and extinguishing the light in the eyes. That you curse the world every morning, and along with it this hunger, you curse the helplessness and the impotence in your hands. And no one listens... The enemy rules the siege, the world rules the silence, and the media is preoccupied with matches, races, and cartoons; not with the intestines of Gaza that are being ravaged by hunger. I won't tell you, viewer, to let me live in your house, and I won't tell you not to eat so you can feel us. I'm only saying from my heart, which only has a few days left and will never move again, that you donate anything again, anything

the most accurate character poster you know is agonizing over possibly being wrong. the most heinous flanderizer you know is smiling and posting with reckless abandon. don’t worry so much……..

Happy birthday to Lyudmila Pavlichenko (born July 12, 1916), Soviet sniper in World War II, with 309 confirmed kills.

A true role model for today.

literally was just thinking about this like there are so many aspects of life as a fat person that skinny people would just never think of and if you tell them about it theyre like well thats weird and gross have you tried not being a disgusting lazy sack of shit. and then youre the asshole if youre not happy with that response

[shkspr]

some people will just never understand that whatever skinny people have to hear is not the same as systemic fatphobia

If you voted, please don't scroll without sharing this post! Mosab is raising funds for his wife and three daughters to escape Gaza before it is too late.

Over 65% of the goal is unmet, even after months of trying. Mosab and his family count on these donations to afford food and stay alive.

Lama, one of the 4 year old twins, is sick and in pain. She needs to be treated but the family cannot even afford basic food. Even the smallest support can be the difference between life and death.

Please help my friend out by sharing and donating.

people who post shit like this are always funny because like it literally isn't arbitrarily constructed. it's constructed around the concept of transmisogyny, which you can only call "arbitrary" if you are yourself a transmisogynist.

when people ask you "are you TME or TMA" what they are asking you is whether or not you are transmisogynised, what your personal relationship to transmisogyny is. i understand that some people might not want to answer that question, but if that's the case, then you straight up don't get to have an opinion on transmisogyny, the same way you don't get to have an opinion on racism if you say it's racist to ask you if you experience it. 🤷‍♀️

Answer these questions to yourself:

Have you ever been unable to access education because of trauma or poverty?

Have you ever lost someone you love to state violence (police, military, etc.)?

Have you ever struggled to provide care for loved ones when you, too, were struggling?

Have you ever faced months of food insecurity and realized there were no social nets that could catch you as you starved?

If you have never experienced these situations, please recognize the incredible privilege and luck you hold, and keep reading. If you have experienced any of these situations, please hold on to your empathy for this kind of despair, and keep reading.

My friend Mahrah Balousha (@mahrahpalestine) is living all of these experiences at once.

She can no longer afford fees to attend Al-Azhar University where she was pursuing a degree in engineering. She is enduring constant trauma. Just yesterday, Israeli occupation targeted a place just a few meters away, and saw the body of a pregnant woman who had just been brutally murdered. Who gets to access education? She is brilliant and she is not allowed to flourish because ethno-nationalists have decided nothing a Palestinian woman could ever accomplish is worth more than their own power.

Her eldest brother, who provided the most care and support to her father, was killed by Israeli military. She grieves his loss every day.

Mahrah and her brother Mahmoud (@palestinian95) are doing everything they can to care for their elderly parents and their young nephews.

Israel has constructed a famine in Gaza as a tactic of genocide, and the artificial scarcity of food has driven the prices up to insurmountable heights. The only existing aid is lethal to access, as Israeli snipers use aid distribution sites to massacre families seeking food.

To protect each other from this horrific fate, Mahrah and Mahmoud are trying to avoid aid sites and use campaign funds to buy food at the markets for their family.

The Balousha family is surviving week to week on the donations that come through this fundraiser. Any donation offers immediate and vital relief from nightmarish starvation and famine.

Their family fundraiser has been vetted by 90-ghost and shared by fairuzfan.

Please, please donate funds to the Balousha family.
