(The Washington Post)
For those who don't know, the US Supreme Court just ruled that states are allowed to enforce trans healthcare for minors. Undoubtedly, this will trigger a wave of other states that either hope to pass or have already passed policies to do the same. This is going to kill children, and harm more in long-lasting ways.
So, how can you help?
FUCKING VOTE. I don't care if you don't like Biden, he's not the only one on the ballot. Vote representatives into your city council who will turn our city into a sanctuary city. Vote for governors and state reps who will, even if they don't pass new protections, oppose bans being pushed through. Chsllenge and kick out conservative incumbents who are banking on their races being obscure enough for people to not vote in.
Anyone telling you voting is useless is either lying to you or grossly uninformed and think saying this is the edgy new take that will make them look hip and informed. Yes, the system is broken. But short of burning the whole thing to the ground (which personally I'm not a fan of as I quite enjoy having like. Roads and the FDA) what we can do is to change it for the better, by starting with the local races and working our way up.

Hello ! Thanks for bearing with me , I am a Palestinian educator from Gaza whose life is dire and gruesome. Nothing has left for my family except the hope you can support and help us. After 9 months of war we became exhausted, hopeless , desperate , and displaced. Houses and livelihood sources have been lost and gone with the wind. Things are driving us insane and made. The least level of life can't be attained. Healthy water and food have become a dream we need to realize. What worsens our life more is the constant bombings and killings. That is why I am asking in this post to help us survive this unbearable circumstances , moving from hell to safety and peace. Your support can help us be safe and alive so friends you can support us either by directly donating whatever you can or by sharing my campaign links so that generous people can know about our tragedy and pain. Remember your small contribution can make a big difference for the lives of many children whose heath gets worse and worse everyday. Let their life change and let them feel happy through your kind contribution.

Thinking about the oath Gortash made Orin swear after she took Durge's place. I'm sure it's been talked about before, but?? the fact that they used literal magic to make her unable to attack him to the point where she needed Durge/Tav to kill him for her? She even said it was because Gortash didn't want her, didn't trust her.
But Durge? There was no need for an elaborate pact, as evidenced by the fact that they can hurt him just fine, even after they renew their alliance during the coronation. For them it's just a promise, based on trust.

1 Then was Jeſus led aſide of the Spirit into the wilderneſs, to be tempted of the deuil.
2 And when he had faſted forty days, and forty nights, he was afterward hvngry.
3 Then came to him the tempter, and ſaid, If thou be the Son of God, command that theſe ſtones be made bread.
4 But he anſwering, ſaid, It is written, Man shall not live by bread only, but by euery word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 And the deuil ſaid, That is Alle Very Well, but the bread helps.
6 Then the deuil took him up into the holy city, and ſet him on a pinnacle of the Temple.
7 And ſaid vnto him, If thou be the Son of God, caſt thyſelf down, for it is written, that he will give his Angels charge over thee, and with their hands they ſhall lift thee up, leſt at any time thou ſhouldeſt daſh thy foot againſt a ſtone.
8 And in ſpeaking theſe wordes did the deuil raiſe his voice, as if calling vnto another, though none was there preſent.
9 Jeſus ſaid unto him, It is written again, Thou ſhalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
10 Then ſaid the deuil, I do not knowe who is doing the writing, but verily they are ſtarting to get vpon mine wicke.
11 Again the deuil took him up into an exceeding high mountain, and ſhewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,
12 Saying, theſe are the Iſlands of the Tideleſs Sea. Not a Roman to be found for ten thouſand mīl.
13 And, Juſt ſay the Worde, and thou couldſt be there, no qveſtions aſked.
14 Then ſaid Jeſus unto him, Avoid Satan: for it is written, Thou ſhalt worſhip the Lord thy God, and him only ſhalt thou ſerve.
15 Then the deuil left him: and behold, the Angels came, and miniſtered vnto him.

cw // if you squint, incest/twincest
twins au - eros & eri !
i'm so endeared by the idea that they exist in the same world and that they're twins who care deeply for each other HBJERBFJHERF.
dol pc1 and 2 are just the same pc, just different genders HJERFBJHERF but their storylines/purpose as pcs are so different i got curious and thought,,, you know it'd be fun to have twins au!
so far what i have is: inseparable and protective twin siblings who have been with each other for years. when they became of age, and bailey started charging them, eros knew it was too dangerous for his sister to work in this town. although he was as sheltered as eri, he was friends with a lot of the older orphans, who wouldn't exactly hide what goes on in the town. since then, he's offered to go work most days of the week to earn both of their keep while eri attends school on his behalf. he'll only attend school every fridays to just pass the exams so he could keep his grades up and graduate. eros is apart of the Temple and is an initiate. eri isn't, she's just a normal schoolkid and although she is a lot more sheltered, she wasn't naive. she could only imagine the kind of danger eros put himself through just to keep them from getting sold by bailey. despite her begging, eros refuses to let her get a job, and insists she focuses on school so she could also teach him for friday exams.
though that does all change when robin can't keep up with his debt payments, and without eros knowing, eri went to look for work as well (and gets up to all sorts of shenanigans with guys) BHERBFBHRF

DP x DC PROMPT
Jasmine Al'Ghul has her time divided into simple quarters.
Make sure Danyal Al'Ghul is well taken care of with the Fenton family ( no wonder anyone who bullies Danny or his friends end up missing [in this au]).
Teach and care for Damain Al'Ghul inside the league.
Train into becoming a better shadow and right hand for the next heir.
Complete missions for Ra Al'Ghul himself.
Fortunately, Taila has decided it would be for best for Jasmine to continue caring for Danyal as Damian goes to live with his father while she deals with the leagues problems and search for her missing father.
That means Jasmine will not be spending time with Damian during his ( sister time) six months. And he will realise that after she doesn't come after 8 months to his father's family/house.
Unfortunately for everyone, Damian refuses to live without his beloved elder sister, and will do anything to take her back.
---------
Now, do Damian and Danny hate each other for taking up sister time or do they love each other?

readings of tom and greg that are like "tom just needs someone to control"/"greg just wants the power that tom can give him" are so deeply biased and pessimistic that you're just flat out ignoring the show so i try not to bother with dignifying it But imo it's also indicative of really shallow understanding of how their relationship is informed by the whole corporate masculinity thing. in a way that i just have to say something about. like even aside from all the clear points of selflessness on either end and trust between them etc.. did you even consider that maybe it's himself that tom doesn't like when greg isn't beneath him? that falling on distinct points on a hierarchy is simply what makes it easiest for him to feel safe being close with another man, especially in the waystar setting? he undeniably actively WANTS to bring greg up with him. he just doesn't know what to do once greg is there because when someone is beneath you, you can grab them, you can touch them, you can pull them as close as you want and it's all excused by you "exerting your power." when someone is above you then it's simply you knowing your place when you get as close as they demand. when another man is your equal, though, you no longer have that excuse. now you have to admit that there's no power to exert nor accept when you touch. you just want it.
