There is a trend I’ve noticed that smut fics tend to be much more popular than anything else and honestly I just want to have something to look at to remind myself and that writing doesn’t have to have sex to be worth putting out into the community.
Reblog if trans men are REAL, VALID AND HANDSOME MEN, NO MATTER HOW THEY CHOOSE TO PASS
Reblog if trans women are REAL, VALID, AND BEAUTIFUL WOMEN, NO MATTER HOW THEY CHOOSE TO PASS
And finally, because it's a part of my argument for this point, and also because they are,
Reblog if nonbinary and genderqueer people in general, are REAL, VALID, AND GORGEOUS PEOPLE, NO MATTER HOW THEY PASS
if one more person comments on my "we need to keep payphones/public phones" post with "what we need are free phone charging stations and wifi hotspots, like in new york!" i am going to lose my mind. what do you people not understand about "not everyone has a smartphone" and "phones can break". how are these new concepts.
I keep seeing brutal Israeli attacks against Palestinian civilians, and I keep hearing western politicians talk about Israel's right to self defense. Israel is the aggressor - it is not defending itself, it is continuing its decades-long campaign to kill and drive out indigenous Palestinians to make way for its expansion and ensure its desired demographics. Ethnic cleansing for the furthering of an ethno-nationalist colonial project is not self defense - it is criminal. It is aggression. It is murder.
another person has self-immolated in protest of the ongoing genocide happening in Palestine. his name is Matt Nelson, he self-immolated in front of the Israeli consulate in Boston, he is the 5th known person to have done this. Before he did this, he stated his intentions and reasoning in a Youtube video which has been reposted across several platforms and the condensed transcription is as following:
“My name is Matt Nelson and I'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest. We are all culpable in the ongoing genocide in Gaza […] We are slaves to capitalism and the military industrial complex. Most of us are too apathetic to care. The protest I'm about to engage in is a call to our government to stop suppling Israel with the money and weapons it uses to imprison and murder innocent Palestinians, to pressure Israel to end the genocide in Gaza, and to support the ICC indictment of Benjamin Netanyahu and other members of the Israeli government […] A democracy is supposed to serve the will of the people, not the interests of the wealthy. Take the power back. Free Palestine.”
Remember his face, remember his name. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸
Alan Macleod states on X, formerly known as Twitter: Comically bad propaganda from the IDF here, chucking around clearly empty carboard boxes with "medical supplies" written in huge letters in English on this (This is taken from an official IDF video).
Short video description: IDF soldiers are passing each other boxes labelled 'medical supplies,' while standing in a row to get the boxes to the hospital in front of them. As many people have pointed out, the boxes are very light, and are being tossed over to one another very quickly, and appear to be empty.
I also wanted to note that I also saw someone who works for set productions in film comment about this on X, and the first thing she said they teach you is to put something inside of boxes being used as 'props' so they can conceal their weightlessness... they're not even trying to hide their shamelessness.
The Weill Cornell Medicine commencement was held earlier this month where a medical graduate from Gaza used his time on stage to condemn the university and its leadership for their complicity in the genocide on Gaza and implored his fellow graduates to stay true to their oath and stand with the hundreds of healthcare workers who have been killed by the IOF. In response the university have done everything they can to minimise this young graduate from speaking truth to power from his own graduation records by cutting away from him during the ceremony’s livestream and erasing his time on stage in the released footage.
this pride, i learnt about the Palestinian trans woman Oscar Al-Halabiye, dancer and resistance fighter against the israeli occupation in Southern Lebanon. she named herself Oscar after Lady Oscar from the "The Rose of Versailles", a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Riyoko Ikeda.
her story is documented in Cinema Fouad(1993). zionists use pink washing to reinforce their genocidal terrorist narrative when queer Palestinians have been fighting against the occupation since the very beginning. you can watch it here with english subtitles. long live the intifada!
