To My Friends In Red States, Please Stay Safe And Watch Out For Each Other. Stay Inside And Avoid Going

so direct action is not an option available to you. what can you do right now instead?

Be mindful of the content you’re putting on your social media accounts. Stop retweeting/reposting violent images and videos of black people dying. Know that content like this, even with trigger warnings included, can be very emotionally disturbing/distressing and yes, even traumatic, for black people navigating the internet right now.

Report any images and videos you see where protestors’ faces are visible/unblurred, particularly in content surrounding the lootings. Don’t retweet or repost these images and videos. This can be a death sentence.

The rush of pure serotonin that comes with deleting random side blogs you haven't touched in months

Serious post time. Please reblog, this is important.

Hi all, I've just been made aware about "operation pr1defall".

From what I know, 4.c.h.a.n is planning to infiltrate LGBT spaces during June, try and get sensitive information, spread lies about us, and harass minors. Some have said they are planning to share all sensitive photos of minors that they can, even attempt irl attacks. Its also been said they are planning on sending out gruesome photos of LGBT people being r*ped.

Please, especially young people, take extra care of yourself and the information you spread. You do not need to panic, you just need to stay safe. Don't give out harmful information (your phone number, address, etc). Don't share sensitive photos (we all know what i mean, n*des and the like. I know you think it's fun, but it's not worth it.)

If you find someone doing these things (on any site, not just tumblr), do not engage. Report them, maybe keep note of their username for the future, and move on. You do not need to panic.

Please, reblog and share. Our people need to stay safe. Add any information you know about this in reblogs or replies. Even if you think you will be safe, plenty won't.

hey. the celebrities and corporations are going to try tumblr. you may want to drive them off the site, or find them amusing, ie “well THIS one can stay.” they may try to engage with the culture. they may do their research. DO NOT ENGAGE. do not bother. don’t fucking acknowledge them. don’t mess with their heads. don’t reply to them as a bit. let them think this site is a lost cause. let them fizzle out and die

The Perfect Explanation of Privilege – In One Powerful Punchline

“The Pencilsword” is a comic strip by Toby Morris, an illustrator from New Zealand. His most recent comic, “On a Plate” hits hard at the heart of the issues of concerning wealth and privilege.

How many times have you heard the “I’ve never been handed anything on a platter” argument in regard to social security and other social benefits?

Toby wrecks this argument by showing how two children can grow up, be loved and supported, and yet still have two very different outcomes.

Make sure to follow all the way to the end for the powerful punchline. This comic is an increasingly sad reality for far too many of this nation’s children and families.

shut up about the economy. shut the fuck up about the economy, what’s the economy ever done for me, i can’t get a job with a living wage and it costs a week's wages to get a single train ticket to see my parents and most things in my budget are that cheap cuz they’re made with slave labour and i can still get fired for being trans if i’m ever hired at all and quite frankly the illusion of choice isn’t worth the suffering of others or the death of the planet, shut up about the fucking economy i do not worship the squiggly lines i have basic fucking empathy i want to exist without harming others. i want to exist without harming others!!! i want no one to ever be hurt again!!!!!
