As A Rule Of Thumb, Don't Reblog Donation Posts Or People Asking For Donations Unless They've Been Vetted

Haven't figured out a politic way to word this but before saying someone/thing "makes you uncomfortable" please ask yourself this important question: is it any of your fucking business

you know even if a homeless person or a starving person is in that position because of their own "bad decisions" i don't care. it doesn't matter. no supposed financial misstep is enough to condemn someone to homelessness or poverty.

If you can't love a butch transfem while she's got stubble growing in then I find it hard to believe you could love a butch at all.

Trump 2016 was nothing compared to what's coming and you know it.

No I don't, and you don't either.

One of the problems that I have with electoralism is that every election is the most important election of our lives. Every election is the last one to save democracy. Every election is the only way that we can protect the marginalized otherwise so you have to vote blue no matter who or you're going to be killed in the streets by the red team.

This is propaganda to get people to vote, but what it also does is reinforce the idea that the only people who can save you are the ones on the ballot.

There are people all over the world living under fascist regimes, living in war zones, living in dictatorships, who are supporting one another. There are trans communities under Modi and queers in Russia and people who provide underground reproductive healthcare in Iran and people who provide medical care to their neighbors in tents in Gaza.

What you are doing is American exceptionalism in a liberal hat. This is NOT the end of the fucking world. This is NOT the worst disaster you will ever face. This is NOT a reason to give up or to stop caring or to stop working or to lay down and die.

Is this a good thing that has happened? No. But bad things happen all the time and we keep going.

If you must wallow, then wallow, but I've got shit to do just like I did last week.

mohammed and his family (verified) really need a boost rn! they are struggling to cover basics for 27 people, including mohammed's sister, who is pregnant and hasn't been able to get medical attention that she needs. you can read more of their story & donate on their chuffed page.

Please have heart and do not skip!

Donations urgently needed.

Nader and his family are nearly reaching half of their goal, and we need as much help as possible!

Donate to Help Abd AL Salam and his family get through this war inGaza, organized by Abdalsalam Alanqar

**Humanitarian Support Request: Abdul Salam Al-Anqar** … Abdalsalam Alanqar needs your support for Help Abd AL Salam and his family ge

They're not asking for much, just €10 should suffice!

By donating, you are not only helping Nader, but you are saving him and his family.

We have managed to raise €12000 since the beginning of our campaign, and as with any other Palestinian who are fighting for their lives against the oppressors, I do not wish for Nader and his family to succumb to the murderous regime. Please, together we can raise enough so that they can afford for basic necessities as well as for them to be able to escape through the border crossing, once it opens.

We have already dealt with Zionists who attempted to compromise the campaign due to their own vendetta against the Ghazzans, and thanks to you all, we've successfully fough back and won, proving the veracity of this campaign. Please, do not back down. We need everything we can muster to help Nader and his family.

It's only gonna get harder now that UNRWA has been banned in the Settler state. Let's fight this battle together!

something rlly fascinating about one kind of response ive gotten to telling ppl im cutting off my parents: “im sorry its come to that”. sympathetic right? its assumed that something has gone wrong, the relationship has followed a trajectory to a stage that is irretrievable (from where?), and that this stage is something i regret and would rather not have reached. that the parental bond is good, that i would obviously prefer to preserve it, and that my parents have said things or taken actions of late that have necessitated this step. in a recent attempt at contact, my mother asked “if we have done something to upset you”. i could say lots about my relationship to my parents here, but i dont want to miss the wood for the trees. that relationship was formative; i was a child, these are people that raised that child, that taught it how to be a person, as parents are wont. what if my parents have not done anything new? what if nothing has changed in their disposition to me? the problem may be precisely that, that nothing has changed. is that not the promise of the family? the infinite perpetuation of the blessed present? not the exception but the rule. this present is unbearable to me, and so i would like to change myself. im not sorry

Abled gays celebrating marriage equality: well we sure do have nowhere to go from here when it comes to marriage rights. Gay rights!

Me, a disabled lesbian trying to get on ssi thinking about how I will not be able to marry my girlfriend if I do because I can't have more than $2000 to my name at a time and they count a spouse's income towards that: wow .. gay rights ...

i just. the spice that makes drag so transgressive and femboys so sexual and calling your favorite fictional man "babygirl" fun is transmisogyny.

crossing the line from "male" to "female" is the ultimate gendered taboo in our society, you know it, i know it, we're all acting on it. but when trabs women say "hey we're actually living that transgression and it makes us, specifically, vulnerable" the fun music stops and everyone pretends they dont know what shes talking about.

you stand here enjoying and celebrating and profiting from the aesthetics of transfeminity, all while ignoring the societal hierarchies that make it so enticing. all while rejecting the people most harmed by that stigma.

if you ever wonder why trans women dont like drag or are so mean to femboys or whatever just sit on this and maybe have the barest minimum amount of self reflection.
