It’s really interesting how in Les mis, the conservative royalist rants against protestors sound a lot like conservative rants you hear today?
After Gillenormand reads his conservative newspaper (the Fox News of the 19th century) describing an upcoming protest by young students, he goes on this whole furious rant about how “they’re idiot young people who clearly are to stupid to understand what they’re doing! They don’t respect law and order of the national guard. The world is going to collapse now because of these idiot kids who don’t respect law and tradition! And the young men these days aren’t REAL men any more, they’ve become weak and feminized!”
Also, I don’t know why my left wing grandson doesn’t speak to me anymore!”
“That pack of brats! they convene on the Place du Panthéon! by my life! urchins who were with their nurses but yesterday! If one were to squeeze their noses, milk would burst out. And they deliberate to-morrow, at midday. What are we coming to? What are we coming to? It is clear that we are making for the abyss. (…) And all this awkward batch of brats has political opinions, if you please. Political opinions should be strictly forbidden. They fabricate systems, they recast society, they demolish the monarchy, they fling all laws to the earth, they put the attic in the cellar’s place and my porter in the place of the King, they turn Europe topsy-turvy, they reconstruct the world, and all their love affairs consist in staring slily at the ankles of the laundresses as these women climb into their carts.(…) The end of the world is come! This is plainly the end of this miserable terraqueous globe!”

Bisan is calling for another global strike!
I saw some posts just outlining Jan 21st, and wanted to clarify that Bisan has called for a full seven days of action.
What a global strike would look like is:
calling in sick to work
purchasing bare essentials ahead of the week so you can observe the general boycott of goods / buying as little as you genuinely can
putting in a concerted effort to elevate Palestinian voices and make it clear that this strike is in support of a permanent ceasefire!
For those who will have to purchase necessary goods during this time, please observe the brands that the BDS movement is asking us to boycott!
♢♢♢
Right now is also a good time to mention some better uses for your money during this week.
Available e-sims in Gaza are running low!!
Mirna El Helbawi and her team are working round the clock to continue to connect Palestinians as Israel does its best to cut them off from the rest of the world.
You can learn how to purchase and send e-sims here, and below you’ll find a list of what is currently needed (the areas in brackets indicate what region you should select to buy e-sims in).
--
CareforGaza is an organisation that does verifiably good work, distributing supplies directly to Palestinian families.
They have a Gofundme set up at the moment, but because of Gofundme’s poor track record regarding refusing to transfer funds to Palestinians, I’d recommend continuing to donate directly to their PayPal here.
Good luck to all of you. Don't turn away from Palestine!

no but I’m still pissed tumblr destroyed prev tags even on mobile because tags themselves are maybe one of the most interesting features of tumblr specifically BECAUSE the user base uses them not just for sorting posts (which doesn’t even work anyway SO) but for having conversations without having to add information or commentary into reblogs that clog up the post itself and intrude onto the space of the original poster. like it was a commentary track you could trace back to full conversations between sets of different people and they decided to just pull the plug for no good reason. I’ll never understand it

If there is only one thing I would want to tell all trans people, it is this:
Please make it. You are worth it to see a better future; we will make this world kind. You are so needed, you are so wanted. We will make this world somewhere worth our light. I hope you can be by my side forever, I hope we can bask in the beauty of this world. I love you, trans person reading this.
